Dorian Urac – First album

A sad song, about miscommunication between differently wired brains.

____________________

Lyrics
The blind, they do think ill of me
Must be a madman, to some degree
The deaf just talk behind my back
about what is going on and what I lack
I can see that, I can feel that

You think I’m selfish, naive,
downright evil; you misperceive
Disconnected; still very loud
Secluded brain; living in a cloud
I can see that, cannot help that

There’s no sign, above our heads
The things we do, it will be misread
I can see that; it makes me feel sad

Hurting when one rambles on:
‘there’s always something going wrong’
Unspoken expectations; the memos I don’t get 
The things they impose
You’re not my warden

Try to copy what they do
No connection coming through
Try to listen to a word
The real intention, it wasn’t heard

I can see that, I can feel that
I can see that
It makes me feel sad

Lonesome (introvert)
Foolish (offbeat)
Indifferent (processing)
Egocentric (angsty)
Awkward (shy)
Gullible (open-minded)
Dazed (limitless)
Clumsy (intellectual)
Eccentric (different)
Mean (honest)
Weird (beautiful)

I can see that

A song about bored & entitled rich folks.

Lyrics
Up in the sky behind the window
Looking down from the castle over infinite lands

No conscience to bear
Not knowing if you should even care
So bored with the view these days

You’ll just throw another party tomorrow
All the snobs to invite, the money to spend

Bad news is a trap
One might get carried away
Must host a charity event someday

Not your fault that the world has come loose
(high and dry in the castle in the sky)
The emptiness is gone between starter and dessert
(high and dry in the castle in the sky)

Depressed the day after, but you won’t see it
Spellbound by the golden cage up in the air

Never climbed down from the ladder to the globe
Afraid of the life you could have had

Not your problem that the world has come loose
(high and dry in the castle in the sky)
Cutting the last rope, so you’ll make it to the stars
(high and dry in the castle in the sky)

Castellan

A song about narcissist leaders and their followers.

Lyrics
Wolves and sheep
Cruel dance in the darkness of night
A new round up, but where is the fight

They glamour the sheep
All baffled by the masters’ strength and their icy speech
Sheep need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves herding sheep
Unspoken hostilities shining through, 
from behind the masquerade
Some cannot keep up

Wolves feed off the weak
Submitting to such masters was not the best idea
There will be slaughter of sheep

Wolves and sheep

Counting the sheep
They howl with the wolves to fit in
Lost their intuition somehow

Expelled or asleep
Or they feel exalted for not being the slaughtered one
Most need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves and sheep

Wolves and sheep

A song about the dying planet.

____________________

Lyrics
Noah’s ark, on a collision course
Adrift through unknown space
We might have caused the flooded lands
No one truly cared for this place

Are we still here to see the day
when the ship arrives back home
Will there be singing birds in Eden
Or have they gone extinct

Drifting beyond the event horizon
Where it all comes to an end
The memory slowly fading
With every new born child

Are we still here to see the day
when the ship arrives back home
Will there still be an Eden
Or did we dim the light

The ship
Lost in space
Adrift

Lost, lost in space

The ark (lost in space)

The Ark (lost In Space)

Just a fun song about vampires. Nothing sexy to see here.

____________________

Lyrics
I’m graving your glance
Bewildered by your daunting presence
I’ll wait down here, in your shadow
Do it to me

Awaiting your lead 
Just make me dance around your ego
I’ll worship you, my goddess
Just do it to me

Do it to me

I’ll offer you wine
My mistress, I’ll pour you the bloody substance
I’ll lie down here, bleeding
Just do it to me

Do it to me

Do it to me

Vampire Love

A song written after extreme fever, accompanied by delerium.

__________________________

Lyrics
I might be broken, beyond repair
It seems like a dream long forgotten
since I wholeheartedly cared

Can’t look at horizons, defeated by waves
While deep down I hope 
I will live on a long and prosperous life

But look at my face
I’m dying
My last breath of life
Losing my colour
Transform into something I’ve never dreamt of

I might be broken, beyond repair
My courage, it’s fading
I no longer run
alas alas

I might be broken, beyond despair
Deep down I know it’s not yet the worst
alas alas

Internal struggle to be peaceful and stable once more
A forsaken concept
to imagine my life all refreshed and renewed

In hell I’m facing
this angel smiling kindly at me
Deep down I hope he’s a wisp
guiding the way through the sea

I may not be broken
It’s not the end
There is this face of an angel
Shining, so I won’t-have-to be afraid

Together we’ll face it
We will see this through
We’re in this together
Brothers at heart and beyond

My guardian angel
He has come down just to strengthen me
The soul of a will-o-the-wisp
leading the way to my heart so that I will prevail

Together we’re facing
the end of the journey through misery
I just know my angel is here 
to guide me through the ink black sea

Face of an angel

Face of on angel

Dorian Urac is inspired by 80s new wave, alternative rock, nostalgic lofi recordings and cheesy outdated music from the 50s and 60s. 

Dorian's first and only gig was in 2007, 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.) Ever since, Dorian decided to remain a cozy stay-at-home rock star.
