New World Boi

New world illusion, lads in confusion
when they’re gonna leave you alone?
tied to your backbeat, shady and sunlit
you’ve got all my buttons pushed
As the feeling begins to rise
from the edge of your spine
to your mystical mind
erratic behaviour, state of a nation
new world boi, I’m your biggest fan
You’ll find a shelter in the sky
above their wicked ways
and their ill-advised forays
don’t try to fit
you will live among the stars
As the feeling begins to rise
from the edge of your spine
to your mystical mind
erratic behaviour, state of a nation
new world boi, I’m your biggest fan

The Slumber Machine
04:06

Midnight summer, twilight winter
fix your gaze on the storm
I get up and I get down
can you set the default?
paper planes and yellow haze
you stumble and you fall
midnight summer, twilight winter
fixing your eyes on the ball
This is the price that you have to pay
when you're putting your faith in the sickest game
ruled by the kingpins and raped by the sharks
who only think money is the highest rank
sometimes I think there's a hole in my soul
I lost so many friends, no one I can count on
other stuff slipped into their radar
life you can't control with computer data
So put me to sleep in the slumber machine
let ancient music play in my dream
put me to sleep in the slumber machine
let ancient music play in my dream

UFO από Άλλο Πλανήτη
03:29

Ufo από άλλο πλανήτη
ufo από άλλο πλανήτη
Έλα ufo, σε περιμένω κάθε μέρα
να έρθεις απ’ τον ουρανό…
Βαρέθηκα τον άνθρωπο που παρασιτεί
εις βάρος του πλανήτη του και τον απομυζεί
προσεύχομαι κάθε βράδυ να εξαλειφθεί
από ένα ufo από άλλο πλανήτη
ufo από άλλο πλανήτη
Δεν μοιάζω με τους άλλους, είμαι ένα φρικιό
θέλω για παρέα απ’ τον ουρανό
ένα ufo από άλλο πλανήτη
ufo από άλλο πλανήτη
Εξάλειψις…

Put on your dress, be a queen of the night
justify all that you have to hide
people around you like pigs in the farm
sister can't help falling down
blinding lights and false beliefs
the rotten kingdom of bourgeoisie
those suckers don't know what freedom means
sister can't help falling down
they feed you, they drug you, they put you in chains
you have everything, but you're still afraid
spiritual matters don't count anymore
sister can't help falling down
put it beside you, start anew
the child inside really knows the truth
don't carry on with a hole in your soul
sister can't help falling down
Please, believe in yourself
cause nobody else gonna do it
and this child alone in the dark
gonna fight for the final stand
I'll do anything for you
except supporting those lies
and those fuckers who crippled you inside
leading their hollow lives
Don't be scared, there's beauty in being alone
the balance inside gives you all the strength in the world
society stamping its boots on her chest
sister can't help falling down
Please, believe in yourself
cause nobody else gonna do it
and this child alone in the dark
gonna fight for the final stand
I'll do anything for you
except supporting those lies
and those fuckers who crippled you inside
leading their hollow lives

Deep Sleep
05:27
|
|||
Have you grown up through seasons
dressing up in golden chains?
all your dreams have come to life
all these fashion wonders
fill your days with easy flights
but the essence is still missing
You think that you're so funny
but you don't lead your life on your own
another puppet in the freak show
and their dirty logic
hanging from your ball and chain
have you ever felt complete?
Can you heed the calling?
I try but I'm afraid
if you don't do it
I'm the only one to blame
the tides are turning
a merman I should be
spread my wings now
and find my inner me
and I don't have to lie to myself again
I'm awake, I am straight
I can now withstand the pain
you dragged me down to the ground
falling without a sound
And the standards that you keep
are the chains that make you weak
down to my knees
overwhelmed with disbelief
I can ride, I can fly
your petitions in the funeral pyre
I wanna be happy, I wanna be sane
so long I have been afraid
I'm alive, I almost died
I'll disappear beyond your sight
I wanna be happy, I wanna be sane
so long I have been afraid
And the standards that you keep
are the chains that make you weak
keep me down to my knees
overwhelmed with disbelief

Resurrection
04:08
|
|||
Μidnight howlers, basic city brawlers
what mask should I put on?
what gods should I rely on?
lower your standards
slow death before the eternal sleep
glorify, sanctify, exorcise, purify, this tedious life
like a zombie, eating us alive, bro
how many streaming services should I subscribe to?
you either behave like a monkey or you get depressed
while innocents are dying at psychopath’s behest
but don’t you worry, we got another season coming
a piece of trash, glorious and numbing
glorious and numbing
I’m not striving for perfection
I’m just looking for a minor spiritual resurrection

Yawning Caves of Blue

Ηail to the ghost in the fog
the child you left behind
dressed in rags, in the dark
to believe the western lies
but his branches growing strong
give them space to unfold
this is the way of the martyrs
Ηail to the bird of prey
the killer needs to slay
everything that you love
his disguise won’t really last
‘cause the killer lives in you
and the angel is here, too
it’s a never-ending collision
Βeware of the thief of souls
will you notice? here he goes
to the masses, to the blind
his name is compromise
so if you wonder how to live
just forget his golden treats
that is the way of the artist
Τhinking of you baby all day long
hope it’s gonna last forever
dreaming of you baby all night long
hope the feeling’s never over
thinking of you baby all day long
is it gonna last forever?
dreaming of you baby all night long
hope the feeling’s never over
thinking of you baby all day long
hope it’s gonna last forever
dreaming of you baby all night long
hope the feeling’s never over

Alice, don't you call me back home
I've seen the rabbit and the writing on the wall
your priest lies in hybris, is it all the same?
your maze is worse than a ruined day
and my thoughts will be
Don't you think that I've had enough
I'm your servant and I try to survive
without a fight
down in the valley of the beast
the wine in the belly of the priest
the crown in the madman's lair
the innocent lives that were not spared
Alice, don't you call me back again
your trip is scary you look like a bird of prey
your maze is worse than a ruined day
your wonderland, your wasteland
and my thoughts will be
Don't you think that I've had enough
I'm your servant and I try to survive
without a fight
down in the valley of the beast
the wine in the belly of the priest
the crown in the madmen's lair
the innocent lives that were not spared

It's for the nation's saving grace

don't let the assholes get away
roaring like a lion
stabbing like an assassin
roaming like a lion

roaring like a lion
stabbing like an assassin

Oh Vera
02:10

I never thought that in my hour of darkness
I would find a guardian angel
oh Vera, oh Vera
you taught me to handle the weight of the world
and I thank you for that and I love you for that
that's all I know
Oh Vera, oh Vera
deep in the tunnel there's a light
and you helped me find it once again
and I thank you for that, I love you for that
I guess that's all I know
Oh Vera, oh Vera
we'll meet again one sunny day
you made me realise that
made me realise that
made me realise that I got to get out

Kαθώς μεγαλώνω, συνειδητοποιώ όλο και περισσότερο ότι η ευτυχία δεν βρίσκεται στην καταξίωση (κοινωνική, επαγγελματική, καλλιτεχνική), ούτε στα χρήματα που έβγαλες, βγάζεις και θα βγάλεις, ούτε και στο αμάξι που οδηγείς, στο σπίτι που κατοικείς, στον αριθμό δίσκων που έχεις ηχογραφήσει, στο χειροκρότημα του κόσμου, στην αποδοχή των άλλων, στις γκόμενες και στα αγόρια με τα οποία έχεις πηδηχτεί, στα γαμημένα social media, στη γνώμη που έχουν οι άλλοι για σένα, στις συναυλίες που θα κάνεις, στα video games και τα iPhones, στα άχρηστα συμπράκαλα που θα αγοράσεις... "και ποιος το λέει αυτό?" "εγώ!", "και ποιός είσαι εσύ?", "είμαι ο θεός... και θυμήσου ότι..."
η ευτυχία τελικά είναι κατακερματισμένη σε στιγμές και την βρίσκει κανείς όταν ξετυλίγει το κουβάρι των αναμνήσεων, χρησιμοποιώντας ως πυξίδα την ψυχή: είναι τα ζεστά απογεύματα στην Κινέτα, όταν μου έπαιρνε η γιαγιά μου boss ξυλάκι μόκα, είναι τα βράδια που γυρίζαμε με τον Άξιο και ακούγαμε το Meddle στο αμάξι, είναι όταν ξύπνησα ένα χάραμα και είδα τον παππού μου να πίνει τον ελληνικό του και να ετοιμάζεται για ψάρεμα, είναι το πρώτο session Baby Guru στο υπόγειο του Γιάννη, είναι όταν πρωτοαντίκρισα την Ελένη, όταν χάθηκα με το Ευτυχάκι στα βράχια της Φολεγάνδρου, όταν μου πήρε δώρο ο πατέρας μου το μάτι της Θαντέρα, όταν έπαιζα Tetris στο Gameboy και έξω στην Άνδρο λυσσομανούσε ο αέρας, είναι το μπαλκόνι του Κώστα απέναντι από το πατρικό μου, είναι η ημερήσια στον Παρνασσό τρίτη γυμνασίου, είναι οι βόλτες στη Βαρκελώνη με τον Μελίδη, το Spiderman 2 με τους δίδυμους, τα μπάνια μετά την εξεταστική, οι βόλτες στο δάσος με τον Αντρέα, το πρώτο λάιβ μας ως μαθητές στου Ζηρίδη, το πρώτο τεύχος Fantastic Four από το μπακαλικάκι California, το κρυφτό με τον Άρη και όλη την καλοκαιρινή παρέα και πίσω απο τις εικόνες υψώνεται κάτι μεγάλο, όμορφο, υψηλό και ακαθόριστο... είναι το στήθος της Μητέρας, η Αιώνια Πατρίδα.
