Haken - Streams Lyrics






[I. STREAMS]

Oooh, now that I am free,
swimming with the many fishes of the stream.
Yeah, and I am welcome here,
we all just connected swimmingly.

Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins.

I'm learning how to breathe,
living underwater,
I am deeper than the eye can see.
Yeah, it was meant to be,
now I'm flowing with the current of the stream.

Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins.
Running through my veins
Running through my veins.

I start my life again,
just as well this ain't the first stream I have swam.
Cold water rushing to my brain
is thicker than the blood that's flowing through my veins

Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins.
Streams of blood like liquid love
is rushing to my brain.

[II. VEINS]

It suddenly hits me in the heat of the sun,
a product of fear, far from human.
It suddenly hits me and crushes my world
like a tidal wave trapped in my shell.

It suddenly hits me, what have I become?
Searching for answers in my aquarium.
It suddenly bites me and poisons my veins,
lost and unable to find my way.

[III. DIGRESSION]

My chosen path, the direction that I take
is the consequence of your greatest mistake.

When that day arrives, it's decision time.
Which way will I turn?
Will I ever really learn?

If I'm shown the way, I will never be alone.
The choice is mine in deciding where I'll go.

All our souls digressed, we started as one.
All our journeys will end at the same destination.

Streams of life digress
like water running through my veins.
Streams of blood like liquid love
is rushing to my brain.

Haken Streams Comments
  1. L.... T....

    At 5:11, the crash cymbal stays in 4/4 but the harmonic meter in the organ changes to 7/4 (4/4+3/4)... they intertwine so beautifully it’s hardly noticeable yet I was so satisfied when I realized it. Haken is truly genius beyond imagination.

  2. t.... ....

    in some parts, it is quite similar to "Lifting shadows off a dream" by Dream Theater

  3. M.... F....

    Very nice.

  4. L.... B....

    Doesn't the intro seem a little bit like About To Crash by Dream Theater?

    L.... B....

    They are very heavily based on DT

    L.... B....

    Leofigo Boh, I feel it a little. But only when you mentioned it.

  5. B.... ....

    5:11 DJENT

    B.... ....

    not really

  6. M.... G....

    this is trully gorgeous

  7. C.... ....

    The growls fill me with so much terror, its one of the reasons i consider this one of the most emotionally jarring songs ive ever heard. So much emotional dynamic

  8. Q.... S....

    wow, impressive stuff, from start to finish

  9. F.... L....

    I was actually a little skeptical over how the new remasters would sound and okay guys, I'm convinced. Utopia Records in Sydney - I'm coming tomorrow lol! 😉

  10. T.... A....

    I thought I was walking on to the set of Cheers in the beginning lol

  11. G.... ....

    Let's pretend that the last album never happenned

    G.... ....

    what? Affinity was good. Like all of their records... Haken was always an incredible band although my fav still remains Aquarius!

    G.... ....

    Affinity was their weakest imo, but I'd still hesitate to call it bad

    G.... ....

    Whoops, rated it 5/10 and forgettable as the only good track there was Architect. Aquarius though is 10/10 for me

  12. d.... ....

    Awesome!

  13. J.... P....

    The guitars in the growl parts sound so much better, now my least favorite part of the album is quite pleasant

  14. T.... ....

    Thank you so much Haken and InsideOut Music! :)

    T.... ....

    thank you tesseract!

  15. S.... ....

    THE BREAKDOWN SOUNDS SURREAL HAHA

  16. L.... ....

    can't wait to hear the Visions remaster !

  17. J.... R....

    for some reason I never got into this album, even though I LOVE haken. guess this will be a good chance

    J.... R....

    Joel Robinson keep at it - this was the last one I got into now it's my second favourite, after The Mountain

    J.... R....

    Same here

    J.... R....

    ok i love it now lol. Have been listening to it a lot.

  18. K.... ....

    Own the original of Aquarius and Visions, but it'll be nice to have the remasters on spotify now...

    K.... ....

    RBKluuzGH does this definitely mean they will be on Spotify? I was wondering about that.

    K.... ....

    They confirmed it on facebook the other day, it will be

  19. s.... ....

    It's indeed a great remaster but as the original releases already sound good (especially Visions), I'll be keeping them and will not be buying the remastered versions. It's a nice opportunity for those don't have the original releases to get the first two albums though.

    s.... ....

    The vocals and bass on the original aren't great, that's my only problem with original Aquarius and the drums on visions are a little muddy. Still miles better than a lot of people's debuts.

  20. K.... ....

    Sounds 100 million times better than the original.

  21. J.... R....

    I preordered Aquarius. I simply cannot contain my excitement for the remastered version of Celestial Elixir.

  22. P.... ....

    Huh? This is old haken, not new?!

    P.... ....

    fastbastard69 it's a reissue

  23. M.... B....

    Commeeee sail away! Comeeee sail away! Come sail awayyyyyyy withhhhhh meeeee!

  24. S.... B....

    Yes, YESS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

  25. M.... F....

    YES. <3

  26. M.... L....

    Feels like a mashup between a Riverside song and a new dream theater track! With every new album, I feel like Haken are losing the sound they had back in their "visions" album. Still a fantastic track though, no complaints.

    M.... L....

    Mohammad Lafi Just to clarify, you realize this is their debut album remastered, yes? ;)

    M.... L....

    Actually, I realized this after I wrote my comment. Looks like this was more of an older influence for the band, which they've moved away from on their next release. Either, they all sound good, just different! Visions is still my favourite album for them.

    M.... L....

    Aquarius is one of my favorites. I am so excited to hear all of the remasters.

  27. a.... b....

    Fucking brilliant band, the transitions and interludes of this song are seamless

  28. d.... ....

    this is... amazing !!

  29. G.... ....

    This is an incredible remaster. :O

  30. C.... B....

    verse...dunno, but chorus and breaks are great!!!

    C.... B....

    @Ethan Griffiths personal taste. It's not bad. But I really like the chorus. Sorry if it sounded too negative.

    C.... B....

    The singer is just trash. They really need to replace him. He sounds like a cat trying to pass a kidney stone.

    C.... B....

    took me a while for them to grow on me as well but it wasn't that hard for me because i'm also a RUSH fan haha. But, if vocals can't grown on you, both of their reissues come with instrumental versions of BOTH albums! They're really considerate with that. Even Affinity (their last album) had an instrumental version as well if you buy the deluxe.

    C.... B....

    It was a joke m8

    C.... B....

    hah, i see. no worries. some friends of mine and I always joke around saying he sounds a bit like mickey mouse and NOW every time i hear the vocals, i envision mickey going ham with the microphone. lol

  31. A.... M....

    Under the seaaaaaa, under the seaaaaaa!!!

    A.... M....

    Andrea Miotto Down where it's wetter, down where it's better, take it from meeeeeeeee!!!

    A.... M....

    ZB3000 up on the shores they work all day, out in the sun they slave away

    A.... M....

    There'll be no accusations, just friendly crustaceans under the seaaaaaa!!!

  32. F.... L....

    Superbe !

  33. K.... K....

    This sounds so unbelievably good. I am chomping at the bit until I can hear the rest of the remasters.

  34. T.... ....

    I love how much clearer the drums and bass are. Jens did a great job.

    T.... ....

    It sounds so beautiful.

  35. J.... L....

    the remastering is impressive...the sound is so clean...seems like a new album...waaaaoohhh

  36. J.... L....

    the remastering is impressive...the sound is so clean...seems like a new album...waaaaoohhh

  37. �.... P....

    FOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAA!!! BR HERE!!!!

  38. L.... L....

    So much better sound quality!!! Oh yeeeeeah!

  39. U.... F....

    I JUST SPAT MY COFFEE EVERYWHERE WHERE DID THIS COME FROM WWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    U.... F....

    kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    U.... F....

    U FUKIN WOT M8 you know they already have this whole album, just originally mastered?

    U.... F....

    @Inthinkable i know but and i heard they were doing a re-issue but it took me by surprise

  40. E.... C....

    My favorite album of all time <3

    E.... C....

    it hasnt even been released O.o

    E.... C....

    its a reissue from the 2010 album aquarius. so yes, it has been released earlier. just a remastered version. The original was released under 'Sensory records'. After some rights BS they probably now fixed so that inside out can release it with probably better payouts/circumstances for the band i guess.

    E.... C....

    Oh, right. I've listened to that album. My bad.

    E.... C....

    That's probably right. it's been out of print for a while.

  41. G.... ....

    I have waited a long time for this, hell yeah
