Slave To The Algorythm
 words & Music: Dakoda Sada

 In the chocolate box of your life
 Is the top layer already gone
 And did someone pinch 
 The orange creme from the bottom
 How'd you end up being
 A youtube and patreon prostitute
 Beggin the world for a like
 Don't forget to ring the bell 
 Don't forget to subscribe

 Your a slave to the algorythm
 A slave to the algorythm

 Do you think they listen
 To what you have said
 Or do they click just to show
 They're not dead
 One day when you've farmed enough sheep
 They'll send you a shiny play button to keep 
 Your lifes achievement stuck up on a wall
 Besides the trophy
 You won at softball
 Don't forget to ring the bell 
 Don't forget to subscribe

 Your a slave to the algorythm
 A slave to the algorythm
 Your a slave to the algorythm

 All the chocolates look different
 But they taste the same
 You play the game for fortune and fame
 Do we all end up just slaves to the algorythm
 Your a slave to the algorythm
 Don't forget to ring the bell 
 Don't forget to subscribe

  Your a slave to the algorythm
  A slave to the algorythm

Lyrics & Music: Dakoda Sada

(chorus)
 Now that you've adopted your new pet war
 There's no room for Yemen anymore
 
 You shun the brown
 and you welcome the white
 It's hard to see it from the other side
 When your heart's being tugged
 and they've been demonised
 Have you tried to figure out
 What it's all about
 They say, it's good versus evil
 Don't worry about the detail
 There's another window
 flying a flag of yellow and blue
 They must be brimming with virtue
 (chorus) 
 The Talking's stopped
 But the hawks still sing
 They sing, send more weapons
 That fixes everything
 (chorus)

Eng : Dakoda Sada

I wana be free, how can I escape...
All of the cycles of the path I paved? 
I wana let go, how can I be free?
All the patterns became identity 
New visions are seen, old illusions fade
I'm letting go of all the plans I've made 
I'm losing sleep 'cause I don't feel safe
All this anxiety inside my brain 
I'm feeling low but I'm keeping faith 
Is it insane to struggle in this place?
Disturbed by thoughts, suffering in vain 
I laugh it off as I embrace my pain. 
 
Chorus
I wana' eun away
Ah ah ah ah,
Need a reason to stay
Ah ah ah ah
X4 

(Second verse)
I try to feel good, decorate my cage
It's therapeutic to accept my rage 
I'm feeling high try to flip the page 
Give it my all to just be okay
I'm compulsive, I ruminate
I get explosive, I wana run away 
Human relationships, it's love and hate 
I need a reason, to wana stay, here.

DivinityInLove - Growing Pains

We were young, just seventeen,
Dancing in the summer rain,
Barefoot on the gravel road,
You and I, we felt no pain.

You gave me your leather jacket,
Told me stories 'bout your dreams.
We'd drive for hours, 
sing our hearts out.
To those old Springsteen 
melodies.

But seasons change, 
and people do too.
The leaves fell down, 
our love went blue.
I still remember every word you said.
Like a song ,
stuck in my head.

(Chorus)
We were stars in the night,
shining bright.
A fleeting love like a firefly.
Now I'm here alone in this town.
Trying to let you go.
Till the tears run out.
Till the tears run out.
Till the tears run out...

I found your letter in my drawer.
Folded pages, worn and torn.
You said “forever.” but now it’s never.
Looking back I should have known.

Those nights we spent by the river.
Making promises we couldn’t keep.
I see your face in every stranger.
In my dreams you’re haunting me.

(repeat chorus)

I saw you on the street last Sunday,
With a smile that wasn’t mine.
You looked happy, you looked free,
While I’m stuck in a different time.

The café where we used to linger,
Now feels empty, cold, and bare.
Every corner holds a memory,
Of a time when you were there.

The winter’s chill is setting in,
But the warmth of you is gone.
I wear your old, worn-out sweater,
Trying to feel close to you.
But every thread just pulls me further,
From the love I thought I knew.

(repeat chorus)

Dakoda Sada Ft. Divinity - Me Tonight

Verse:
I woke up this mornin', 
my phone was dead,
No signal, no Wi-Fi, I felt glued to the bed
The city's awake outside, 
but I'm stuck in my head,
Thinkin'  'bout the memories, we used to share instead

Chorus:
Oh, Copperline, take me back in time
To the nights we'd ride, underneath the desert pines
We'd laugh and love, and leave our worries behind
Oh, Copperline, take me back to when you were mine

Verse:
I drove out to the country, where the roads get wide
Passed by the old junk yard, where we used to hide
The sun was settin' low, and I felt so alone
Wishin' I could turn back time, to when our love was home

(repeat chorus)

Verse:
We'd chase the sunset, and dance in the rain
Our love was wild and free, no filters, no shame
We'd live for the moment, and let our hearts collide
In a world of likes and shares, our love would never subside

(repeat chorus)

Verse:
Now I'm back in the city, with my phone back online
But my heart's still stuck on you, and that Copperline
Take me back to the nights, when love was pure and true
Oh, Copperline, take me back to me and you.

Dakoda Sada Ft. Amira - Copperline

[Verse 1]
The carrot never consented
To your soup on Tuesday night
The runner beans ran nowhere
When you switched on the kitchen light
I saw a mushroom trembling
In the palm of your sweaty hand
Another senseless killing
That I simply dont understand
[Chorus]
Vegetables are murder
Just ask the cauliflower's ghost
Vegetables are murder
Though you'll deny it most
And no, I won't be coming round for tea
[Verse 2]
At the allotment in December
Digging graves for future meals
The Brussels sprout has feelings
That your fork cruelly reveals
You wear your "five-a-day" like virtue
On your Marks & Spencer sleeve
While I'm alone at home on Sunday
Am the only one to grieve
[Chorus]
Vegetables are murder
Just ask the cauliflower's ghost
Vegetables are murder
Though you'll deny it most
And no, I won't be coming round for tea
[Bridge]
Your mother boiled the cabbage
Till its dignity was gone
Your father mashed potatoes
As if they had done him wrong
And you with your organic box
Delivered to your door
Think yourself so righteous
As the broccoli hits the floor
[Verse 3]
The marrow had such promise
Before you scooped out its heart
The celery stood so proudly
Before you tore it apart
So take your dinner parties
And your Guardian weekend tips
I'd rather starve dramatically
Than let peas pass my lips
[Chorus]
Vegetables are murder
Just ask the cauliflower's ghost
Vegetables are murder
Though you'll deny it most
And no, I won't be coming round for tea

[Verse 1]
The pigeons and the magistrates, they all look the same
In a tedious procession in a drizzle of shame
They talk of pension plans and mortgages and lawns
While a little piece of spirit dies with every single dawn
You see them in the papers, clutching their degrees
With sensible expressions designed only to please
Oh, they're selling "common sense" by the pound
But I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them to the ground
[Chorus]
And you'll get your Civic Commendation
For a life of quiet desperation
A handshake and a photograph, a footnote in the press
For never, ever, ever causing any kind of mess
Oh, I'd rather be a vandal, I'd rather be a brute
Than to ever taste the ashes of that sad and muted fruit
Of a life lived by the rulebook, a life I can't abide
With nothing but a hollow, aching echo deep inside
[Verse 2]
The vicar's on the television, he's blessing all the bombs
While the panel on the screen agrees with placid, dull aplomb
They speak of 'national character' with a glint behind the eye
It's the same cold, polite expression they will use the day you die
And you were meant for poetry, for passion and for art
But you traded it all in for a space in the car park
Oh, how could you let them do it? How could you acquiesce?
To a life of beige conformity and measured happiness
[Chorus]
And you'll get your Civic Commendation
For a life of quiet desperation
A handshake and a photograph, a footnote in the press
For never, ever, ever causing any kind of mess
Oh, I'd rather be a vandal, I'd rather be a brute
Than to ever taste the ashes of that sad and muted fruit
Of a life lived by the rulebook, a life I can't abide
With nothing but a hollow, aching echo deep inside
[Bridge]
And I try, you know I try to find a beauty in their plan
To be a "well-adjusted" and a "productive" modern man
But every time I open my mouth, a dreadful truth slips out
And they look at me as if I've grown a second, screaming snout
It was never my intention...
It was never my intention... to be this way...

Your Civic Commendation...

Dakoda Sada - A Civic Commendation

Another generation has spawned
So terribly, terribly flawed
Upon a world they didn't make
But claim every right to break
With porcelain feelings
And paper-thin skin
Oh, the victimhood sings
about everything

You clutch your pearls at a sideways glance
A poorly worded, clumsy advance
The statues must fall, the books must burn
For every lesson you've yet to learn
They cry for safety, a padded room
From the slightest hint of impending doom
A misplaced pronoun, a thought uncouth
The fragile guardians of  fake Truth

And the outrage flows
Like cheap, bad wine
Every day a new crusade
A brand new line that you've overstated
It's all about you
You demand a prize
Just for turning up
And you're oh-so-surprised
When life's not a silver cup

I saw you weeping in the street
Because the coffee wasn't sweet
Enough for your refined little tongue
 While a real boy's holding a gun
You've never known a genuine hardship
Just the crushing weight of your own blog readership
So build your fortress of moral right
And tremble, tremble through the night

And I'm just so tired
Of the endless, dreary show
Oh, the world will keep on turning
Whether you approve or know.

Dakoda Sada - Alter-Ego

(Lyrics By: Dakoda Sada)

And when I tried to alter your ego
You just ended up with another alter-ego
The smell of tarmac and hairspray
Seeing you crawling on the road
You can't carry it all on your own
Maybe it's time to unload
I could be a professional confessional
But don't leave it to chance, or we could end up in France
No one would know, no one could tell (x3)
No one can tell
It's just you and me and her and no one else
No one can tell (x2)
And when I tried to alter your ego
You just ended up with another alter ego
Do you have a name for this one?
Or does she mask her face and act like a hero
You can't carry it all on your own
Maybe it's time to unload (x2)
Maybe it's time

Skin & Stone
Lyrics (by  Dakoda Sada)

My soul left home on Tuesday night
He's been sleeping rough ever since
My soul just up and left
My soul met your heart in a bar on Friday night
She got him drunk and she offered him a bed
My soul could end up dead
-
I gotta warn him
Her heart's made of skin and stone
Where's my phone
I gotta warn him
Her hearts made of skin and stone
Where's my phone
Where's my phone
Gotta warn him
Where's my phone
-
An innocent soul filled with fear
Shocked and stunned , your pretence not clear
Tied and tazered, no clue what to do
But you ran him down, with your BMW
You held a twelve inch blade to his neck
A nickel plated magnum to his head
My soul could end up dead
-
I gotta warn him
Your heart's made of skin and stone
Wheres my phone (x2)

A Firing-Squad of One.
(lyrics: by Dakoda Sada)

You're a different race
Better hide you're face
Here comes the mace 
No case , to answer
God and his gun
His policeman's uniform is on
Better pray
That he ain't had a bad day
Or you can say goodbye from where you lay
If your black
Get on your back
Report will say your high on smack
Only lesson learned
All footage to be burned
Take me to jail
I want to live to tell the tale
God and his gun
His policeman's uniform is on
Better pray
that he ain't had a bad day
Or you can say goodbye from where you lay
You don't know me
The N-word's not my middle name
You know I fit the frame
I have to play your game
This cop and his gun
Might be a firing squad of one
A firing squad of one....

Dakoda Sada - A FiringSquad Of One

Dakoda Sada – “Just Don’t, Lie There” (Demo)
Lyrics: By Dakoda Sada.

Broken and confused, in a hospital bed
The chart said, he’s emotionally dead
Have you ever thought back to a time you shouldn’t
Opened the box and found feelings inside
You said you couldn’t
The pleasure and the pain were never close to equal
And all I’m left with now, is standing tickets to the sequel
Cry if you wanna cry
Die if you wanna die
Lie if you wanna lie
Just don’t, lie there
The love drug is not illegal
You may take as much as you can get
But when your dealer runs out
Then you’ll know what it’s all about (x2)
The pleasure and the pain were never close to equal
And all I’m left with now, is standing tickets to the sequel
Cry if you wanna cry
Die if you wanna die 
Lie if you wanna lie
Just don’t, lie there

Dakoda Sada - Just Dont Lie There (Demo)

"Half the World"
lyrics: Dakoda Sada

Half the world is trying to stay alive
The other half's trying to kill as many as they can
The apparatus of the state
Tells me which countries I need to hate
The BBC says its time to hate Russia again
Constant demonization of another nation
Half the worlds trying to stay alive
The other half's trying to kill as many as they can
Drip-feed the sheep
Speculation and fear
Public opinion isn't something we fear
Public opinion is just something we steer
the apparatus of the state
tells me which countries I need to hate
only half the world
only half the world...

Dakoda Sada - Half The World

"As Happy as a Clam" 
Lyrics By: Dakoda Sada

You hooked me like a fish
But shortly after
I was gutted on a plate
My mate had to tell me my fate
Way back then I was as happy as a clam
Just workin' for the man
But when you came along
You changed the whole damn song
Thats where it all went wrong
The lads all say your such a fox
But I rue the day I gave away
The keys to my own jukebox
Way back then I was as happy as a clam
Just workin' for the man
Way back then I was as happy as a clam
Just workin' for the man...

Lyrics and Music: Dakoda Sada

When I let you go
it was like taking off, a tight pair of shoes
it felt so good
the last thing I want to do , is hurt you
it's the very last thing on my todo list

your just a brand sucker, a fanboy with wide-eyes
waiting to discover
a fanboy with wide-eyes
waiting to discover
is it Samsung or Apple thats going to be your next lover

your every grin and word are stored on a server
your self-obsessed and chav-like, to the casual observer
it's too late for taking back that hurt
because its all up on twitter, I'm covered in dirt
you send every thought and comment into the cloud
showcased to the public , who knows if they are proud

fanboy,camgirl,narcissist, attention-whore,phone-bore,
your pathetic, and your apathetic

your just a brand sucker, a fanboy with wide-eyes
waiting to discover, 
a fanboy with wide-eyes
waiting to discover, 
is it Samsung or Apple thats going to be your next lover

"Self - Absorbed Like A Blackhole"
Lyrics and Music:  Dakoda Sada
Vocals: Kate & Dakoda
------------------------------------------------------
Oh why can't we just be friends
Let me explain friendship treason
Picking up your mates 
Then dropping them with no reason
Whatever this is, uh huh, whatever this is
Infatuation is like love in a race
You need some time, you need some space
An excuse to drop your friends
Just put'em on hold untill it ends
There's no doubt that it is the end
You say you don't intend to offend
But then you treat me like you've never had a friend

(chorus)
Your self-absorbed
Your self absorbed, like a Blackhole

Your issues don't give you dominion over me
We've all got issues babe
But I don't wear mine 
On a sticker on my forehead
I wasted all of my time
Mine too
On you, on you

(chorus)
Your self-absorbed
Your self absorbed, like a Blackhole
Whatever this is, uh huh, whatever this is

It's no doubt that it is the end
What was I supposed to do
Curl up and die
You never even looked me in the eye
'Cos you texted goodbye
Uh uh uh ohh, there's no doubt that it is the end
Your self-absorbed
Like a Blackhole
Whatever this is
I wasted all of my time
Your self-absorbed like a Blackhole...

"No Luck So Far"
Lyrics & Music by: Dakoda Sada

decide to be jekyll or hyde
but lock it up, keep it deep inside
I'll give you a call
when I've seen your fall
no luck so far

making up euphemism's
for previous criticism's
maybe one day
I'll see you in pret a manger
no luck so far

(chorus)
you only want to hold me
so I'm close enough to scold me
some things get taken for granted
but who gets to chose which ones
no luck so far

you've been banging on my door
at half past four
I've been listening in bed
to things I never said
you made me swallow my pride
it didn't taste too good
I've been sitting on my bed
trying to play my guitar
like Johnny Marr
no luck so far

(chorus)
you only want to hold me
so I'm close enough to scold me
some things get taken for granted
but who gets to chose which ones
no luck so far

Dakoda Sada - No Luck So Far (DEMO)

The Sandman
 lyrics and music by Dakoda Sada

 I've always been a Sandman , even when I was six
 I'd play all day long in the school sand pit
 When I'm on my own I'm filled with doubt
 I missed that lesson when they showed us what its all about
(chorus)
 I wanted to be wanted, by you, by you
 I wanted to be wanted, by you, by you

 Wanna be a Sandman, there's plenty work in the pit
 These days I share with Snowflake and young half-wit
 All I ever wanted was to be a toy soldier
 Later on I realised I could have been a bulldozer
(chorus)
 I wanted to be wanted, by you, by you
 I wanted to be wanted, by you, by you
 I wanted to be wanted, by you, by you

Dakoda Sada ft. Divinityinlove - Remember me

Lyrics

Tell me do you still believe 
He's gunna come and save everyone
Or can you now see clearly
That God's the biggest conspiracy theory

(chorus)
The media are the enemy
Your strength is the sense you were born with
Before your brain was polluted
While your resolve was being diluted

Tell me do you still believe
Its the lizard people runnin' the world
Or was your memory erased
When the spaceship brought you back
And your head was shaved

(repeat chorus)

Tell me do you still believe 
That you died from a government hoax
Or did you realise
It's the internet that lies 
And you opened your eyes

(repeat chorus)
