Hello, citizens of Acity!

Today’s work, [Duration: The Eternal Stream], is based on the core theories of the master of modern philosophy of life, Henri Bergson: "Pure Duration (Durée pure)" and the "Cone of Memory."

While we often measure time by the numbers a clock points to, Bergson argued that this "spatialized time" is merely an artificial fabrication. He believed that the unbreakable flow felt within the human interior—"Pure Duration"—is the only true time. These lyrics implement this philosophical concept into a narrative that begins with measured time, passes through the breach of time, and finally moves toward eternal duration.

In the video, the clocks and digital timers surrounding the Muse, Luna, are the chains of calculated time that oppress her. However, the blue sparks and smoke erupting around her, along with the abyss unfolding beneath the stairs, show her breaking through physical time and sinking into the memory of her inner time.

The line "Awakened in the flow, in a stream that no numbers can hold" is a declaration to reject cold, mechanical time and move toward the boundless sea of time guided by her own will. The expression "The clock marks the lines, but my time... it flows in circles" symbolizes the indivisible "vital impetus (Élan vital)."

Clocks can be stopped, but our rhythm never will. Within your own heated duration that cannot be converted into numbers, I hope you enjoy a time of pleasant contemplation as you face the true meaning of life.

00:03The clock marks the lines, but my time, it flows in circles, soaking through the soul.
00:31Mechanical pulses trapped in a wall of cold glass, the chains of a future built on a linear path.
00:42I measure the weight of silence among the statues of stone.
00:49Watching the march of fake minutes, hours I've never owned.
00:57But beneath this hollow shell, a vortex starts to moan.
01:06Fragments of yesterday rising from the abyss at the stair.
01:10A flood of memories soaking through the stagnant air.
01:14I shattered the order of metal, sinking into the spiral within.
01:17The past isn't dead, it's alive, breathing under my skin.
01:21Now the straight lines are breaking, let the real flow begin.
01:28When the indivisible sense of life rushes through my veins.
01:33It got the clock, couldn't mark, turned to smoke, breaking the chains.
01:36Every suppressed moment, overlapping into one, right in its place.
01:45Awakened in the flow, in a stream that no numbers can hold.
01:49Breaking the gears of the cold, I let the deep story unfold.
01:53Into the abyss of memory, where time is a boundless sea.
02:01Burning the echoes of yesterday, to design what I'm meant to be.
02:08I am the flow, the undivided soul.
02:20Time, isn't something you count.
02:24It's what you endure, what you soak in.
02:28Until you become the stream itself.
02:31Now, beyond the broken chains, my will shall drift through the eternal.
02:56Awakened in the flow, in a stream that no numbers can hold.
03:00Breaking the gears of the cold, I let the deep story unfold.
03:04Into the abyss of memory, where time is a boundless sea.
03:12Burning the echoes of yesterday, to design what I'm meant to be.
03:19I am the flow, the fire, and the eternal soul.
03:34The clock can stop now.
03:37My rhythm, never will.
03:41My rhythm, never will.
