PANCHA'S THEME

track 2 from the "IT'S BETTER I GO" EP 
Music and production by Paolo Pace and Chaz Hunter-Laroche (BANANA BLACKOUT)

Lyrics: 
I'm moving
Heading towards the end
Embracing new beginnings

Stardust in our eyes
The reflection we're seeing

Pink, fluorescent light
Swayed across the court
An old flame so bright
From where I was before

A world of light
In an open field
Stood there with no time to feel

Was it in my mind?
Who's to say what's real?

Less and less I know
The further I go
Down the rabbit hole
My mind's swallowing me whole

A world of black
Time is so so still
I forgot what I'm supposed to feel

These dreams are always showing me
A life that I choose not to lead
A beautiful place I cannot reach
A beautiful taste of what could be

Sometimes I feel none of this is real
Remind me again what I should feel
The motions are there but my mind is still
Show me the end or give me the pill

I guess I'll just have to wait around and see
The end of the line
The end of me

WHO'S TO SAY WHAT'S REAL???

Track 1 from the "IT'S BETTER I GO" EP 
Music and production by Paolo Pace and Chaz Hunter-Laroche (BANANA BLACKOUT)

Lyrics: 
Play the same song
Hit the floor
Coming back for more

Make it so long
Where we belong
Is what we settle for

C-c-can't wait to vacate
I can't stay
To placate the shit-cakes for shit pay

Took a long break
Took a long break

C-c-crave
Create the same play
A new day
Now make way
The start of a new fate

For my own sake
For my own sake

I feel the shadows
They're trying to swallow me whole
So it's better I go

'Cause I've fallen backwards
Reversed into hazards
Stop and take

Tick tick tick tick

Yeah, it's better I go

'Cause I'm falling faster
Yeah, it's a disaster show
So

Take a long break
Take a long break
For my own sake
For my own sake

Took a long break
Took a long break
For my own sake
For my own sake

Long overdue

Yeah, it's better I go
It's what we settle for
Coming back for more

IT'S BETTER I GO

We hope you enjoy this rendition of one of our favourite holiday tunes!

FERAL BELLS

"SO LONG" is about the feelings associated with losing someone you love and the darkness that loss can create in your mind. 

Lyrics: 
So long my flame
Cold town
Now it's not the same

Ready or not
Entering hurricanes
If left in the dark
Then I'd be someone else

Bring back to the sun
Our time will come

So long my flame
Cold town
Now it's not the same

Sometimes see you in my dreams
So long
Till we meet again

SO LONG

Track 1 from the "MY BEST WORST FRIEND" EP 

Lyrics: 

I outrun it
But it always catches up
So cunning
How it always fills my cup

Losing more time
Time to rewind
Back to my ways
It's just a phase
At least that's what I say

Something feels wrong
Something feels wrong
Hey hey

Where's the time gone?
Where's the time gone?
Wait wait

Give it back babe
Give it back babe please
My soul to break

Siren
Tyrant
How you lure me in

Habit
Rabbit
How I keep running

Tired
Wired
How I'm dead awake

Sunny
Funny
How you keep me baked

Want it
Want it
Want it
Want it

Leave it
Leave it
It's time to quit

Want it
Want it
I don't need it
Draining my will to live

Relinquish control
Burden my soul
I'm living life on hard mode

Lost my power babe
Lost my power
Shower me please

Time to grow big
Time to glow
Flow-state fate

Lost my power babe
Where's my power?
Shower me please

Time to grow big
Time to flow
Leave this place

Let my soul breathe
Let my let my soul grow free
Let my soul breathe
Let my let my soul roam free

Set my soul free
Set my set my soul free please
Set my soul free

Breathing but I'm half alive
With anhedonia by my side
I write, I dance, I laugh, I try
But you're still on my mind

Set my soul free
Set my set my soul free
Set my soul free
Set my set my soul free

Set my soul free
Set my set my soul free
Set my soul free

Tell me where the time has gone
Save me when the tide will come

ANHEDONIA

Track 2 from the "MY BEST WORST FRIEND" EP

Lyrics: 
You are my best and worst friend
Make me feel good till you can't
Happiness with a strained smile
Maybe you'll change if I keep you around for a while

I hear you calling my name
You lure me back in
You're swaying me to think
It's better when I give in

You are the spark in my eye
How you bring me life
You are my best worst friend
By my side till the end

How am I back here again?
Thought I had learned my lesson
Took me a while to let you go
Let you back in so you can drill a hole in my soul

The sun is out of my reach
When you're around me
The darkness makes me feel weak
Then you put me to sleep

You are the storm in my head
How you bring me dread
You are my best worst friend

By my side till I'm dead
By surprise when it ends
Please get out of my head

You are my best and worst friend
Stuck in a loop with no end

Breathing but I'm half alive
With anhedonia by my side

MY BEST WORST FRIEND

We wanted to create something a little different this time around. We've always loved the mellow and soft vibes from the charcoal album from Brambles, so a lot of inspiration came from that. 

We're really happy with how this one turned out! 
We hope you enjoy and thanks lots for listening Bananas :)

Lyrics: 
Feel the weight of this
Reality sets in
It's hard to start again
When you lose your best friend

Not sure life can ever be the same
You were a part of every step I'd take
I saw it in your eyes
Too soon to say goodbye

Walking room to room
Reminds me of you
No more time to bloom
Loved, but gone too soon

I just hope that you're now in a better place
Free to escape and free from any pain
I wish we had more time
Too soon to say goodbye

Goodbye

Lyrics:
Looking elsewhere for the sunshine
See myself out at the right time
Had control but I'm losing my grip

I'm back in the pit
Guess I'm not over this, no

Feeling my dreams as they set fire
Running for years till they expire
Bounce back when it's kinda too late

The damage is done
Looking death in the face

Time and time again
Pull me back in with a reasonable stance
They say "consistency is key"

So dance monkey dance
Spin around till you can't

Looking death in the face
He says "give up on your dreams"
Mediocrity is free
It's better I go to sleep

Feeling my lungs as they set fire
Hanging my life from a loose wire
Sabotage till I can't move my feet

The pressure's too high
Are they laughing at me?

Put myself up in the spotlight
Feel myself shrink into stage fright
Moving back to the time I was free

The confident me
Dragged down by the beast

Time and time again
Push it away till it pulls me back in
Is this my destiny?

My passion is clear
Now you can't touch me

Looking death in the face
I put him back in his place
He says "come on, give it a break"
I say "go back to fucking sleep"

Looking death in the face
Go back to fucking sleep

Lyrics:
It's gone before I see it
They take before I leave it
I'm never wrong

Now I'm down and kinda need it
But that's just how they scheme it
And now it's all gone

My life is your game
I may shoot it but you aim
Ha!

Compression's high
But there's no gain
You set the threshold
It's a dangerous trade

Fell for your trap
Now there is no going back
Kick us while we are down
Now we're stuck in this town

Where is your grace?
You greedy cunts take and take
It was not a mistake
Just a dangerous trade

Dangerous trade

Take it and take it
And take it and take it
And take it

And take and take and take
They take and take it
They take it
They take it

They fucking take it
They fucking take it

My life is your gain
I see you through another frame
Ha!

You never cared
"Good faith"
You fucking assholes
What a treacherous claim

Fell for your trap
Now there is no going back
Kick us while we are down
Now we're stuck in this town

Assholes!

Where is your grace?
You greedy cunts take and take
It was not a mistake
Just a dangerous trade

DANGEROUS TRADE
