Description: I never meant to be anything but far away.


Mirror shows a stranger’s face
Chasing praise, a hollow grace
Golden hands and silver lies
All reflected in your eyes

You build your throne on shifting sand
Every crown slips through your hand

It’s just vanity  the cost you pay
Pride and ego lead you astray
It’s just vanity  you can’t disguise
The shadow that’s behind your eyes


Smiles are masks, applause is fake
Every move a calculated stake
Whispers echo through the hall
Silent warnings you ignore them all

You reach for heights you cannot keep
Every promise buried deep

It’s just vanity  the cost you pay
Pride and ego lead you astray
It’s just vanity  you can’t disguise
The shadow that’s behind your eyes


Cold reflection, burning bright
Lost in glory, lost in night
Nothing lasts  it fades away
The mirror mocks what you portray


It’s just vanity  the cost you pay
Pride and ego lead you astray
It’s just vanity  can’t close your eyes
Forever haunted by your lies
It’s just vanity…
It’s just vanity…


IT’S JUST VANITY

HEAD IN THE SAND

"From the stimulating intro on you’ll tap your feet, without even noticing it. This is the wake-up-call I want to hear when I can’t get out of my bed in the morning. You simply can’t resist this shot of adrenaline. This is what elevating pop is all about. Vitalizing, energizing, and galvanizing. In a normal world, this should be a global hit. Oh yeah, I feel quite euphoric and, trust me, you’ll have your heart beat as fast as mine after just one spin. Hopefully, we can all come out of the lockdown shadows pretty soon."

LYRICS

You’ve got an axe to grind
There’s a place in town that haunts me
It’s true, setting fire to it earned
a death before you warned me
Their grue trickles into the forest
(where) shallow is the whole stay

Pelican Pete
You’ve gone too far this time
Pelican Pete
You’re out of your mind

You’ve got grave defined
In the shadow of the arcade
It’s all we can offer you now
As a memory of the old way
Your blood barely filled up the bath
Now as shallow as the first day
