about

Tundra is about the realization of falling in love with the wrong person and about how difficult it can be to let go of unfulfilled hopes and promises, so that sometimes we prefer to delude ourselves with a distorted reality.
The lyrics of the first verse were originally written to the melody of the jazz standard Nardis by Miles Davis and then spun on. The standard thus also had a slight influence on the melody and mood of the composition. 

lyrics

Somehow I did not recognize
The ice cold gleam within his eyes
Too soon the soothing night has gone
And daylight shows what we have done

You planted a seed in my brain and there it grows
Wrapping it’s branches around my chest
I can’t breathe anymore

Beware wherever you may go
Some twinkling eyes are just for show
And instead of gazing at the stars
You better go to safe your heart

Falling in love, they say
Is sometimes based on a projection of hopes
Caused by wishful thinking
And what you get is an inaccurately drawn portrait
Which is denying all flaws

But when the night is too dark to see where you are going
Yet to cold to stand still and stick around
Well then every light appears to be inviting
And you follow the promise of warmth
Mesmerized and blind

Beware wherever you may go
Some twinkling eyes are just for show
Instead of gazing at the stars
I should have gone to save my heart
