My Life

Temprature is rising, I need to cool down
Total chaos! No time to rest!
I can not think straight!

I can't eat
I can't sleep
I just need to take a break!

I can't eat
I can't sleep
I am not thinking straight!


Just give me five minutes 
I need a break!
I need just five minutes 
To clear my brain!
Just give me five minutes 
To loosen up!
I need just five minutes
It is all I need!


6 o'clock, no more sleep
It feels like Déjà vu today!
I hear a voice! Get up! get up!
Rise and shine!
6 o'clock, no more sleep
It feels like Déjà vu today!
Why are you so happy today?!
Is this the day they make me pay?!


Just give me five minutes 
I need a break!
I need just five minutes 
To clear my brain!
Just give me five minutes 
To loosen up!
I need just five minutes
It is all I need!


(SOLO)


Just give me five minutes 
I need a break!
I need just five minutes
To clear my brain!
Just give me five minutes 
To loosen up!
I need just five minutes
It is all I need!

Give Me Five Minutes

If you are tired of your meaningless life
With work all day, and a boss on your back
It feels like everything you do isn't good enough

This is the final question
Can you tell me the reason why
Now it's time to do something about it
Just buy a ticket and fly away


Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close

Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close


Your life is at the crossroads
You have to choose before you lose
Now it is time to use your brain
Quit your job and hop on a train


This is the final question
Can you tell me the reason why
Now it's time to do something about it
Just buy a ticket and fly away


Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close

Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close

(SOLO)

This is the final question
Can you tell me the reason why
Now it's time to do something about it
Just buy a ticket and fly away


Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close

Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close

Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close

Round and round it goes
It's your final choice
All around the world it goes
Now you're really close

Round And Round (It Goes)

I'm going around with thousand thoughts in my head
I need to get them sorted out
I need to get on the right track
I can't fail anymore!
Why am I so afraid to do the things that I can
Why am I so afraid to do the things that I like


It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you

It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you


Feels like I'm fading away
I'm just a shadow of my self 
I need to get a grip on my life
Untie me now
Why is my fear too strong to handle
I'm going to burn down like a candle


It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you

It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you


You are getting older man
Time is running out
Go for the highest mountain
And climb it with pride

You are getting older man
Time is running out
Go for the highest mountain
And climb it with pride


It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you

It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you

(SOLO)

It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you

It is all in your head man
It is all up to you
You can't wait any longer
Now is the right time for you


Now is the right time  

I wonder why you never try!

In Your Head

Winter, white and innocent, but cold as it can be
The snow is coming down fast
Just covering up everything
Don't let the sun blind you, it's just the snow that's shining
Don't let the sun blind you
Blind the people

Can't see the bitterness in their eyes
And the jealousy tearing them apart
Can't see the bitterness in their eyes
Not having the life of their neighbor


This is a trip to nowhere
Just drifting alone on a cloud
This is a trip to nowhere
Like a dream you never dreamt

This is a trip to nowhere
Just drifting alone on a cloud
This is your endless journey
You are never coming back


We're all the same
Growing up in this god forgotten place
Everyone wants to hide their face
Everyone wants to find their place
Just wait and see
Wait and see the snow melting
Just wait and see
So much hidden underneath

Can't see the bitterness in their eyes
And the jealousy tearing them apart
Can't see the bitterness in their eyes
Not having the life of their neighbor


This is a trip to nowhere
Just drifting alone on a cloud
This is a trip to nowhere
Like a dream you never dreamt


This is a trip to nowhere
Just drifting alone on a cloud
This is your endless journey
You are never coming back (You are never coming back)


(SOLO)


This is a trip to nowhere
Just drifting alone on a cloud
This is a trip to nowhere
Like a dream you never dreamt


This is a trip to nowhere
Just drifting alone on a cloud
This is your endless journey
You are never coming back (You are never coming back)

Blind The People (Trip To Nowhere)

Why do people think they're better than the other?
Looking down on their father and their mother
Some people live without problems at all
Living a dream where the sun always shines!

Why do people keep on hating on eachother
Why do people keep climbing the ladder
Some people live without problems at all
But they'll fall! Down in the gutter!


Some people have it harder
So wipe of your smile!
Some people live their lives with nothing but pain!



Why do people keep on smiling all day?
They don't listen to whatever I say
Some people live without problems at all
Why do you think that you're better than us?

Why do people feel the need to kill?
Why do people love the king of the hill?
You'll loose your strength and fall off of the ladder
And find yourself face down in the gutter



Some people have it harder
So wipe of your smile!
Some people live their lives with nothing but pain!

Some people have it harder
So wipe of your smile!
Some people live their lives out in the rain!


(SOLO)


Some people have it harder
So wipe of your smile!
Some people live their lives with nothing but pain!

Some people have it harder
So wipe of your smile!

Wipe Of Your Smile

This was the first song I ever wrote, so in this way a step back, don't expect too much off it. I added more guitars and a bass, but it is nevertheless a very simple song, only a 3-chord song, as you can hear. I wrote it about 2 years ago in summer of 2022. I was asked for the lyrics, so also here on this song:

Giants
We're racing down on the freeway
In the city lights caught in the chase of freedom
running through the late night
crowds are gone from the streets
I hear the jamming lead
a guitar with its own speed
Let's break the silence
No more compliance
Let's live the defiance
Then we'll be giants, then we'll be giants

Moonlight makes our shadows long
the night and this song to us belong
We feel us near in the dark
freedom, making our mark
all the chaos fades away
in our nocturnal play
I hear the jamming lead
a guitar with its own speed
Let's break the silence
No more compliance
Let's live the defiance
Then we'll be giants, then we'll be giants

Giants

Shattered Reflection

Written by/ Guitars/ Bass/ Drums/ Keys/ Mix& Production : Me!
Lyrics & Vocals : Mauro Elias
Mastered by Marvin@Tidestudio

Lyrics:

Once we cherished the earth now it crumbles to dust
Deaf to the voices of the fallen we’ve lost
We sold our souls to demons and crushed those who defied
In the name of progress we chase the next lie

Screens divide hearts collide 
but never face to face, its all a lie
Fingers point while roots decay 
no one cares or mind

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We feel like gods yet hollow inside
Built empires of ego where the truth used to thrive
The forest burn the rivers run dry
But we’re too far gone to see what we have done

Empathy’s signed demise 
what have we become? who we are?

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
It's all a lie
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
Shattered reflection

Shattered Reflection

Fire and Ice

It's stormy you stand alone
you feel the danger in the evening tone
lightning crashes, sky full of light
everything is happening in this night

I feel it, the fear has grown
and soon it will be shown
too late, no time to inquire
everyone escape the fire
screams, then the flammes grow higher
away from the ring of fire

too much, the heat is intense
the heat threatens our existence
no turning back, the strain's immense

run for your life, fire
just to survive
everybody get out, fire
screams are so loud

everyone get out, fire
shout it out loud, fire
no time to hesitate
It's not too late

the wind howls a chilling scream
beeing far away is everybody's dream
seeking shelter, the cold sets in
fire, storm and ice, it all will begin

It's too cold, the frost is dire
so we must start a fire
the fire melts the ice away
and the night looses its grey

the frozen night is severe
no one can hide their fear
the cold's grip is very strong
and the night is much too long
It's a blizzard, no path in sight
we must find a way to the light

forstbyte and fear – so cold -
shelter now gets near
the path becomes clear

run for you life
just to survive
everybody get in – so cold -
your life to win

Fire And Ice

A day off work, a mood for some punkrock and a couple of beers formed this tune

Get Out!!

I can see the blue sea

I ride my bike through the sunny air
the wind blows through my hair
the city fades becomes a shade
time to get away on this day
I feel the sea made for me
yes, the sea made for me

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

The ocean shines so blue
a place for me to renew
I watch the tide, rays of sunlight
with the sea so near, free of fear
my thoughts drift away, 
more than words can say
a wonderful day

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

I ride back home through the fresh air
still smell the sea everywhere
then the city comes in sight
I will be home before night
still think the sea made for me
yes, the sea made for me

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

I can the the blue sea

My debut album "LORRIDI" from my new solo project with the same title is out on all streaming platforms now!!  🤘🤘
There will be 7 new songs in addition to the 3 singles that are already out.
Link below

A hard rock/power metal solo project from Norway by Jan Magne Garte. 

Born in Kristiansand south of Norway in 1971.

In 1975 he and his family moved to a small place called Surnadal, and at the age of 16, he played bass in different bands starting in the mid '80s. 
Growing in popularity and opening for some of the most popular Norwegian rock bands at the time. 

By the early 2000s, Garte started a band with som friends, and expanding his repertoire by writing his own songs, singing and switching from bass to guitar.
Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music, and his career as a musician took a hiatus for almost two decades. 
Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under the name LORRIDI.
He play all the instruments exept the drums, and doing all the vocals him self.
All tracks were composed, arranged, recorded and mastered by Garte himself.

Don't hesitate to follow me on Spotify, bandcamp, youtube and facebook
