Hostile

Hostile is the name of a song by SvenSson a.k.a. Steve Axel B., made in 2004. The song is inspired by the Obscure Cities.

Steve Axel B. says about this inspiration: “The inspiration came from the simple fact that Les Cités Obscures is my favourite strip and that sometimes life on earth is so rough that one would prefer to live in this “parallel universe”? The rest is poetry and is difficult to explain. Maybe the “Mary” book, when she meets with Auguste Desombres on the gigantic round rocks where both worlds meet, is what inspired me most?

The video produced in 2014 is directed by Steve Axel B. & Gwarr Greff, featuring Steve Axel B. and Nataliya Velykanova. Music & lyrics by Steve Axel B.

Lyrics

“Puisque ma planète est hostile
Puisqu'il existe d'autres terres
Délavées, délébiles
Immunitaires

Puisque ma planète est peuplée
D'êtres de chair plutôt que d'encre
Mon amour, désolé
Je lève l'ancre

Je partirai demain
Vers les Cités Obscures

Samaris, Xhystos
Urbicande
Alaxis, Mylos
Armilia

Mon enfant, ma tour
Penchée comme moi

Attends encore un peu

Ils n'ont rien compris”
