Jane Bordeaux, a band based in Tel Aviv, has launched a Hebrew language music video for “Ma’agalim”, using a rotating penny arcade entertainment machine to explore the concept of cycles.

Lyrics
Translated from Hebrew
Nights turns into days
Days turn into years
And inside them I am going
Fast and in circles
Winds are blowing at me
Blowing down my neck
Everything seems too far
Oversizing me
It’s not me that’s progressing
It’s just the time that’s moving on
It’s just another passing train
It’s a further tightening rope
Sunrises sinking fast
Seasons passing more
And I am the same
while the time is cutting short
