2018: Let's Rewind

Realize \ Version Zero


I called you "love", just for the last time
In whispers, I'm sure you didn't hear
What is it worth? Well, you are the smart one
With answers, go on and disappear

Time took its time
And so did miles
Love pushed the blame too far to remain 
For us to realize

That when we were young, our troubles were small things
and comfort laid all too close in hand.
We didn't learn 10 years worth of virtue
direction ill-treated all the plans

I wasn't kind 
and you were blind
Love took the blame too far in the game
for us to realize

Tacit

You Don't Even

Smalltalk - You Don't Even

"Its just one of those days
When you don't want to wake up" - FRED DURST 

This song is about one of those days.

Bottom of the barrel

The Derelicts new EP is a fascinating inquest into themes that define modern life  through exquisite, danceable songs reminiscent of the disco era.

The Derelicts - In The Air

Comets, they come and go
Comets, they come and go
Comets, they come and go
Comets, they go...

Tiny little star ship slipping through the sky,
Turn your burning flashlight out, just print it to my eye
Tungsten barely cuts it, the stardust man is out,
He burnt into your green screen babe, 
You can run but you cannot shout 

Living a lea gun, 
I see a sea gull,
I see a sea gull, 
You'll never get it back, never get back, it’s under the sea 

(Chorus)

I never believed you 
When you said
We'd be flying though space,
Up here in anti gravity 
with your beautiful face.
It started with a Big Bang,   
But how the world has changed,
So all these asteroids,
they make me feel so safe..

Living a lea gun, 
I see a sea gull,
I see a sea gull, 
You'll never get it back, never get back, it’s under the sea 

(Chorus)

lyrics
Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon, 
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone	

As far as I can see, the time it screams at me 
you travel much too far 
too far for you to be alive 

I heard you screaming No! What are you afraid of. 
Show all the skin that you are made of, 
But you feel so old. 

So many thoughts, so many moves, to say, to make, to feel, to hear, to see, 
I hope I haven’t left behind the chance today 

As far as I can see, the time it screams at me 
you travel much too far 
too far for you to be alive 

Rocks Remember. 

Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon, 
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone	

Can’t ever let my time, 
Decide just how long I have got. 

(But) You feel so old, don’t you now?

Rocks Remember

Raised the bar too high
(And now it's out of sight)
Raised the bar too high
(I just let it slide)
Raised the bar too high
(Now it's out of sight)
Raised the bar too, far too high

My will is shaken
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
And now I'm scared

Yeah mind over matter, but mine leads to misery
Fake strings can never feel honest on this symphony
I failed the brave
Fake strings can never feel honest on this symphony

My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
(Far too high)
My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
And now I'm scared

Lyrics:
So much has been spoken about 
this world and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little has been done

This world of ours 
of diamond rings and fancy cars
on marble tops of hotel bars
we talk about war

This world of ours
dreams of big but empty paths
of missing lives and broken hearts
what are we here for?

Stop it please,
something light,
let's talk about sweet things
and who I took home last night

So much has been spoken about 
this love and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little can be done

This love of ours 
always ends before it starts
doesn't want to show its cards
we just want more

This love of ours
too afraid of newer scars
runs away when things get hard
let's build a wall

Stop it please,
no time to fight,
let's talk about the future and
how things between us aren't right

Lyrics

The hollow ‘round your eyes have gotten deeper
restless sleeper
Did you lose your love 
or did love lose you
use you
abuse you
And brittle things like life
just softly crumble down like wafer
A hundred years of bottled fears have gripped you
ripped you through and through.

Oh, sun!
Have you drowned
or have you just begun?
Sea is wide
My limbs are tired.
Take me home now.
Let me drown


Down
 Down
  Down


The road you took kept getting steeper 
steeper
You fell deeper
Visions that you saw kept getting bleaker
 fainter 
  weaker
Fire in your heart has disappeared in 
smoke and vapour
Poison gulped
has charred you
burnt you from within.

Cold wind.
Should I breathe out
Or should I breathe in
Loosen ties
I close my eyes
Fly unnoticed like the dust
in the wind.

Dismal.

What Does This Button Do?

Dismal

This is the story of the drunk loser who traumatized everyone who ever cared for him. He's a selfish fiend who burnt every bridge . This song is the collective voice of everyone he alienated and hurt - his ex-wife, his family, his friends, even his children. They have all moved on, they had to. He's stuck in circles, forever chasing a high...

Lyrics
She took the kids and half your money, found out about the whores i see . 
Grab a drink or maybe twenty, to convince yourself that you’re right. 
Smash a glass, beat up a lady, need to feel like a man i see 
Another drink now you’re an absent daddy, who thinks he's right all the time. 

You’ve been playing the fool for so long, you’re time is running out/ 

You’re out of cash and you got no honey, to bail you out of another scene 
You’re a drunk loser who won’t stop trying to convince himself that he’s right. 
You’re out of cash so you to try to hustle , some kids who are to young to see 
You’re a fraud ,a cheat ,a neutered bunny. 

You’ve been playing the fool for so long, your time is running out. 
And when they do grow up, they are going to hate you, 
You might as well kill yourself right now.

Drunk Loser feat Fame

Lyrics:

We tried to fight,
All those fights,
The ones we’d with lost with time, 
The time that wasn’t yours,
Or mine,

Now We,
Are trying to climb those walls, 
Knowing that we’ll fall,
With fear in our minds,
We collide,


And now all that is lost and gone, 
Tends to stay along,
In Our hearts,
And in our minds,
We’re lying, 


I tried,
I Tried to be,
The only parts 
Of your dreams, 
Knowing it wasn’t real,
You see?

Now We are trying to climb those walls, 
Knowing that we’ll fall,
With fear in our minds,
We collide,

And now all that is lost and gone, 
Tends to stay along,
In Our hearts,
And in our minds,
We’re lying, 

And you knew,
From the start, 
In your heart,
That all you are trying to find,
Is only some time,

Now We are trying to climb those walls, 
Knowing that we’ll fall,
With fears in our minds,
We collide.
