Derivation TNB lyrics

[Somber Soul]

I wonder why no-one has opened a thread for the Derivation TNB lyrics yet (at least I didn't see one). The lyrics in this song are naturally much better understandable, since Mikael is whispering instead of singing. Still, I have a few gaps. Here's my go:

To each a blind eye
To all the filter I’ve said have control / I've "set of control" --> this is nonsense, of course...correct me please
To none a sense
That we are lost inside
Victims not witnesses
.....…not a bystander --> missing the first few words here
In a time when words collide

For us a safe denial
Not to push beyond our goals
For us a shadow image
What our insanity allows




What do you think?

 

[Unending_Grimness]

To each a blind eye
To all the filter of self control
To none a sense
That we are lost inside
Victims not witnesses
We are the compass(?), not a bystander -->
In a time when words collide

For us a safe denial
Not to push beyond our goals
For us a shadow image
What our insanity allows

 

[Somber Soul]

Spot on! Thanks, "filter of self control" seems to be it. At least I hear it now this way.
I can also hear "compass" now...maybe it's "not a compass, not a bystander".

 

[Child of Time]

I think it sounds like "to each a black eye".

And maybe I hear "For us a shattered image".

 

[Villain]

I definitely hear "shattered" as well.

-Villain

 

[Ormir]

Victims not witnesses
An accomplice, not a bystander

I'm almost certain it goes like this, makes sense with the rest of the lyrics.

I hear the last two lines as


For us a shattered image
Of what our sanity allows

Otherwise I agree, good work.

 

[KryptoN]

And the end, I think it's:

You're an island of tranquillity in sea of chaos
