The giant spring tide is heading towards the sea The moon rising up along with the rising tide The waves carry the glowing lunar sprites Leaving nowhere unlit by the moonlight The sinuous river surrounding flower-blazing banks Fragrant trees reflecting dewdrop-misting light This flowing fog, moonlight blurred That marble sand, moonlight obscured With the night sky the river shares its hue On the bright sky hangs the lonely moon Why should I go? How come I must leave my home? Am I hated by the river, or did I do any harm to the moon? These flowers. Are they scared of me? What about these cute lunar sprites? Are they terrified? Me, flowers, sprites Don’t we look alike? Is there something tearing us apart? This invisible and irresistible grasp? Will it haunt us forever? Will it be over soon? All I want is to stay with the moon

Now I see You’ve burned your tiny feet Your spirit grows weary The prevision of gravity It’s been A story of pure instincts A fairytale comes to an end My existence disappears Oh how can I blame you I blame you for what This time it falls It falls on a fool A servant is searching for certain discerning objects A seed will be sleeping and creeping and leaping at last You said our life will be good You said our land will bore fruit You said my effort will see it through Like you do Can’t seem to feel it in my bones Can’t seem to comprehend alone Can’t seem to take it anymore I can’t feel it all I can’t feel it all

Drop it, plastic straw Catch it, plastic bullet Play it, plastic toy Go for it, plastic boy Plastic street Plastic car Plastic people Plastic bag Don’t you forget it You plastic flesh And live your insightful life in the indifferent spectrum Dare you recall it You pathetic trash And raise your selfish voice in the name of people

Crushed that building into ruin Left a heart and soul inside Inharmonious protrusion Well that's the reason why Tiles and bricks, intact seclusion Make an architect survive Feel the marvellous illusion Well it won't last for a while She stares down upon the ruin she once called home A castle by waste of reason vanquished like Rome She wandered across the only life she held true Tomorrow the Earth will spin and she'll be gone Ash and dust, destined solution We reject a state of mind The complex of persecution To me it melts in time

折叠 一套西装 送入法场门前 Fold and pack a suit, bring it to the door of the court 触碰 翻转 无穷的半圆 A step forward, a step back, form an infinite semi-circle 寄送 一叠钞票 分离虚实人间 Collect and send a stack of cash, separate the real from the imaginary 映射 所有的诗篇 至另一平面 Map all the songs and poems, into another domain 剪下我疏于打理的头发 Cut off my hair, which is far from neat 摘下我无法流泪的眼睛 Take out my eyes, which cannot shed tears 助人无能 空置我身 No use on my body, for no means to help 就请你拿去赠先生 Please take them to your husband 我的头发在他身上变得精致 My hair is neat on him 我的眼睛在他身上变得坚定 My eyes are firm on him 卸下我狭窄难支的肩膀 Disarm my shoulder, which is far from reliable 取出我绵软无用的肋骨 Disarm my ribs, which are far from unbreakable 收割我少含同情的躯体 Harvest my body, which contains none of sympathy 就请你拿去赠先生 Please take them to your husband 我的肩膀在他身上变得伟岸 My shoulder is reliable on him 我的肋骨在他身上变得坚硬 My ribs are unbreakable on him 他拿这些拯救了别人 He had sacrificed his to save others 我们成就他完美的灵魂 We conclude this perfect soul

它是我的方法 It is my method 我的巧手 思索 和静默 My dexterity, thought and silence 进入它 我是工程师 研究员 艺术家 Entering it, I am the engineer, the researcher and the artist 离开它 我是恍惚者 无源水 流亡客 Leaving it, I am the oblivion, the rain and the exile 它是我的天赋 It is my gift 我的痛苦 冷漠 和代价 My pain, indifference and cost 怀抱它 我是自利者 不肖子 法外徒 Embracing it, I am the selfishness, the betrayal and the outlaw 交出它 以示大局观 师生情 和同法 hand it over, to show the vision of broadness, the respect for instructors, the scheme of collaboration 它生于我之手 It is born in my hand 它不归我所有 It does not belong to me 它即刻被带走 It is to be taken away 它妆点别人口 It becomes all in vain 它是我的妄想 It is my delusion 我的无私 光亮 和纯粹 My selflessness, influence and purity 肯定它 我是开创者 摆渡人 游戏王 Affirming it, I am the pioneer, the ferryman, the king of games 否定它 我是心病患 坠亡者 无言鬼 Denying it, I am the mental disorder, the falling body, the speechless ghost

交互 说服 争执自塔尖 Perceive, persuade and persist 触碰又翻转 怒火烧至云端 Back and forth, grieving agony burns on my fist 闻虫鸟禽兽觊觎在丛林 In this jungle, I hear the nature's greed 惧怕危险 自顾已忘言 Fear is inevitable, I forget to speak 踱步 等候 挤压于方砖 Plodded, placed and packed 朝乏而夕醒 巨浪拍向对岸 When the inversed clock rings, I've lost my track 嗅珠光宝气肃穆在头顶 Above my head, I sense the stained artefact 忧怀冷暖 再不可图南 Fate is inescapable, I've cut the way back 你可知文艺没有生活解毒药 No exit shall be observed in an art 你可知歌词没有生存指南针 No guide shall be obtained in a song 迁怒于谁人焉 Who is it to blame 闻虫鸟禽兽觊觎在丛林 In this jungle, I hear the nature's greed 嗅珠光宝气肃穆在头顶 Above my head, I sense the stained artefact

about

Caumann Riechy comes from Changde, China. We never planned this growth over the past ten years - from five vigorous high school students, to a rigorous indie rock band. Coincidentally in 2022, all of us were experiencing the transition from students to workers, but none of us could settle for the unsatisfying situation. This is when we set off for an album.

The Contextual Order is our first work. Born in the late 90s, raised along with globalisation, and getting mature in the post-pandemic era, we compared the perceived reality to the hometown existing in our expectations, and the differences between became this album:

A young perspective of view of tragic yet odic story happening in our country. A maze of our identities living in a once opened but now closing world. Poetic and narrative, artistic and scientific, sentimental and cerebral, literal and contextual, this album is presented by us.
