Wasteland 03:52
WASTELAND I'm caught in a Wasteland, All of the lights all of the lights Can't help me out of the quicksand; Light a fire, light a fire. The precipice calls me Singing my name, singing my name, But it sounds like a warning; Play it again, play it again. And oooh, I tried running and I tried hiding, And oooh, I tried fighting and I tried lying, And oooh, I tried falling and I tried flying, And oooh, if I keep biting then I'll die trying. If I run, if I hide, It's lonely on the other side. If I run out of time, It's only then it isn't mine. And I've fallen out of line again, And I've fallen out of time again. If I run, if I hide, It's lonely on the other side. If I run out of time, It's only then it isn't mine. I'm stuck in a sideshow, All of the lights, all of the lights Are on a different slide show; Play if again, play it again. And oooh, I tried running and I tried hiding, And oooh, I tried fighting and I tried lying, And oooh, I tried falling and I tried flying, And oooh, if I keep biting then I'll die trying. If I run, if I hide, It's lonely on the other side. If I run out of time, It's only then it isn't mine. And I've fallen out of line again, And I've fallen out of time again. I fall and I fall again and again. I fall and I fall again and again. If I run, if I hide, It's lonely on the other side. If I run out of time, It's only then it isn't mine. And I've fallen out of line again, And I've fallen out of time again.

Seasons 05:41
SEASONS Oooh in a wonderland they lie, Oooh dreaming as the days go by. You were the catalyst I didn't know As you slowly sowed seeds that changed my world. You were my Spring, as you painted the coldness with green on everything. You were my April, March and May, But the colours of the seasons were never made to stay. Soaring through Winter on a Summer cloud, Wishing Summer rain, just to dream again. Pained with all you knew, Will you ever know how the colours change around you? Cos you paint your world in blue, But you painted mine with life until you flew. You became my start, Played your only part. Can’t go back to when I was different then, I was different then. Oooh in a wonderland they lie, Oooh dreaming as the Summers die. Now we are parted, on our different paths, We weren't meant to last, like the seasons change. You were my Spring, as you painted the coldness with green on everything. You were my April, March and May, But the colours of the seasons, they colour my dismay. Cold bites the air now on a Winter chill, I am frozen, still, in the wake of you. Pained with all you knew, Will you ever know how the colours change around you? Cos you paint your world in blue, Like you painted mine to a picture without you. Can’t go back again, Time is no-one’s friend. Now we are apart, Please give back my heart, Please give me back my heart.

CAUGHT IN THE DARK My only constant, you are the tide that I cannot control. You draw me in and wash me out until I can't find home. And when I call, in the silence lies a reply. The echo falls again and again the burden multiplies. It’s in the stillness, it’s in our breathing in, It gets lost within. And in the stillness, it’s in our breathing out We are without. In the cold, in the dark, in the night, my love, We learn to fight, my love, To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love, I can’t see right, my love, Please let go. Please let go. Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night. High on a rooftop, I felt the sun rise from a darkened cry. And from my tightrope I saw the smoke rise as I felt goodbye. And no-one called: in the silence the race was won. As we unfold, it’s not in the storms that we become undone, It’s in the stillness, it’s in our breathing in, It gets lost within. And in the stillness, it’s in our breathing out We are without. In the cold, in the dark, in the night, my love, We learn to fight, my love, To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love, I can’t see right, my love, Please let go. In the cold, in the dark, in the night, my love, We learn to fight, my love, To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love, I can’t see right, my love, Please let go. Please let go. Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night. High on a rooftop, I felt the sun rise from a darkened cry.

Our Love Is 03:59
OUR LOVE IS Time before I knew you is time I didn't know How you could make the time stand still, And never let it go. Suddenly out of the dark, and out of the crowd, Suddenly out of a spark, I didn’t know how It seemed as if the hour were one, sent from beyond the skies Which scattered from above the sun a light of paradise. For our love is a firmament of light, you know, Our love is more boundless than the depths of night, And our love is where I’ll lay me down to stay because Our love is purer than the day. Sing to me, sing to me more: Our love is strong, our love is sure. Sing to me, sing to me more: Our love is strong, our love is sure. Time before I knew you is time I couldn't see How dark could make a brighter light Yet to be. Suddenly out of the dark, and out of the now, Suddenly out of my heart, I didn’t know how It seemed as if the hour were one, sent from beyond the skies Which scattered from above the sun a light of paradise. For our love is a firmament of light, you know, Our love is more boundless than the depths of night, And our love is where I’ll lay me down to stay because Our love is purer than the day. Sing to me, sing to me more: Our love is strong, our love is sure. Sing to me, sing to me more: Our love is strong, our love is sure. Sing to me, Oooh, sing to me, Ooooh, ooooh. It seemed as if the hour were one, sent from beyond the skies Which scattered from above the sun a light of paradise. For our love is a firmament of light, you know, Our love is more boundless than the depths of night, And our love is where I’ll lay me down to stay because Our love is purer than the day. Sing to me, sing to me more: Our love is strong, our love is sure. Sing to me, sing to me more: Our love is strong, our love is sure. For our love is a firmament of light, you know, Our love is more boundless than the night.

CARRY ME HOME All of the words we leave unsaid All of the broken promises Where do they live, if they’re never shown? Who carries the burden of their life unknown? I’ll have a word with the wind to carry my sins away I’ll have a word with the earth and ask if it’s gonna hurt. Was it always so, did we ever know That time would overtake us all With nothing left to show When we have to go? Carry me home, Carry me home, home, Carry me home On the wings of time unowned. All of the life we’ve yet to live. All of the love we’ve yet to give. They never were ours to hope to have; We’re living on borrowed time in someone’s plan. I’ll have a word with the wind to carry my sins away I’ll have a word with the earth and ask if it’s gonna hurt. Was it always so, did we ever know That time would overtake us all With nothing left to show When we have to go? Carry me home, Carry me home, home, Carry me home On the wings of time unowned. Carry me, Carry me, Carry me home, Carry me home On the wings of time unknown. I’ll have a word with the wind to carry my sins away I’ll have a word with the earth and ask if it’s gonna hurt. Was it always so, did we ever know That time would overtake us all With nothing left to show When we have to go? Carry me home, Carry me home, home, Carry me home On the wings of freedom flown.

CAUGHT IN THE DARK (Radio Edit) My only constant You are the tide that I cannot control You draw me in and wash me out until I can’t find home And when I call, in the silence lies a reply. It’s in the stillness, it’s in our breathing out We are without. In the cold in the dark in the night, my love We learn to fight, my love To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love I can’t see right, my love Please let go. Please let go. Some are born to sweet delight Some are born to endless night. High on a rooftop I felt the sunrise from a darkened cry. And no-one called In the silence the race was won. It’s in the stillness, it’s in our breathing out We are without. In the cold in the dark in the night, my love We learn to fight, my love To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love I can’t see right, my love Please let go. Please let go.

about

"Caught in the Dark" is the much anticipated debut EP by London-based singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Cerian. The EP is a series of songs written in the middle of the night. A lifelong insomniac, Cerian is almost completely nocturnal, and these profoundly personal songs have grown out of her struggle with both the literal and internal darkness felt in the isolation of the early hours of the morning, when she would stay awake writing until dawn. The intensity of these emotions can be heard in the powerful songs that grew out of this struggle.

Further to writing and producing all the songs on this EP, Cerian has also created all the art, paintings and visuals that accompany it. Each song is represented by a colour, and the EP journeys through the different colours sought and found in the search for light. The EP image is a photo with a projection of one of Cerian’s paintings encompassing every colour in that journey.
