Hell

Lyrics
Alive in the morning
Alive in the evening

Alive at AM and PM and always
The weekends and midweeks a zombie
Always conscious and creative while I’m at home

I’m alive
But also dead

Alive in the evening
Alive in the morning
Well, there’s something that you should know about me
I’m a night crawler
A morning crawler
I’m always around

Insomnia
Always the dreaming
Always in limbo
Always around
Floating around through dimensions
Surfing on the creative waves

Insomnia
Insomnia
Insomnia

Insomnia

the wonder that precedes the thunder

I haven't got what it takes to quit
'just play my hand n' get on with it
some might pray or say it's written in the stars
holding up answers with exclamation marks
toss an easy catch, all passions run from me!
strike another match, noncommittal and care-free

Ooh hooo...

you wanna' slow 't down, then I'm gonna' get off
'paid for my ticket, now I'm not gonna' stop
'swear it's like a habit to be hoodwinked, short changed
this time we're gonna' go the whole, damn way
this time we're gonna' go the whole, damn way

down in the valley we were almost lost
with the songs of the river n' the light so soft
th' jury dispersed when the judge didn't show
th' accused left standing n' th' case was never closed
deft slight of hand, murder in the first degree
void of reprimand, footloose n' fancy-free

Ooh hooo...

the wraith on your mast and your blinking cunt
will guide these stars 'til my days are done
but did you ever stop for a moment t'ponder
the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder
the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder

Ooh hooo...

the loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder

the Wonder that Precedes the Thunder

A somewhat schizophrenic track. Starts with a synth house, and then in the middle it turns into deep house. Starring Behringer RD8, Roland s1, Dreadbox Nyx, Oberheim Matrix, Korg EX-8000. And my 7 year old daughter who recently discovered the mic.

Oh Oh Oui

Lost

More Than A Lover

lyrics...


this is how the rich win the war

this is how the rich win the war
       magnifying differences,
    triggering all prejudice
 this is how the rich win the war

this is why you're destined to lose
     content with apologies
     accepting of the way it is
this is why we're destined to lose
    these mind machinations
       way out on a limb
   they' tightening the vice
        my head caves in

this is how the pricks win the war

success will surely destroy you
    there's no other way around it
   you will leave it like you found it
success will certainly kill you
      these mind machinations
        telling me I cannot win
           m' head is in the vice
             still the light gets in

 this is why we're destined to lose

     they will eat you alive
   slowly 'cause they' got no teeth
    it begins on the inside
  'till you're prayin' for release

this is how the rich win the war

This Is How The Rich Win The War

Remember How We Were 

You lying in the sun
Staring at the sky and all the clouds that drift away
Fun, we had so much fun
Endless lazy days with nothing else to do but play

Looking back
Remember all the things I used to say to you

Remember how we were 
Remember how we were

Endless days in the sun

Remember how we were 
Remember how we were

Remember How We Were

Thunderclock REMIX II (DJ Chronon)

It was the year 2007 or so, when I looked into the mirror, seeing my own imagery change into that of extravagant rockstar Dorian Urac. That night, I had my first and only gig. It was at a closed playground, where a shady intergalactic convention of evil overlords took place. (True story; obviously they were not quite right in the head. And no, it wasn't a dream either. They were for real, or at least in their minds they were,) After the gathering, my sensible side decided that Dorian’s true calling was to remain a cozy stay-at-home rock star.

Ever since, my alter ego is inspired by 80s new wave and cheesy outdated music from the 50s and 60s.

So here I find myself, all alone in an all pink, lila, purple, red and blue home recording studio, surrounded by robot toys, kawaii squish mallows, blythe dolls, several guitars, a bass guitar, lots and lots of pedals, drawers full of percussion instruments, a vocal mic, an 88 weighted keys midi keyboard, a few toy synths and last but not least an enormous modulair eurorack synth that covers a huge part of the wall.

Sometimes I wake up at night, pondering whether the whole Dorian Urac experience isn’t just a fragment of a wild imagination, an escape from reality. Most probably it’s all meant to end in oblivion, which is fine by me by the way. After all, isn’t life just a short rollercoaster? Me? I just scream the whole ride and then it’s over.

Now what’s your excuse to be listening to my ramblings?
