Vesuvius 2025 cop.       Lyrics

Please mind the gap between the train and the platform…”
—click, hum, silence—
Yeah, there’s a gap alright.

[Verse 1]
Neon rain on plastic dreams,
A billboard smile where the sirens scream,
Someone sleeps beneath the crown,
While the city keeps him down.

[Verse 2]
Golden towers scrape the grey,
Their windows never face this way,
I see your coat, it’s paper-thin,
Winter’s teeth are closing in.

[Chorus – darker tone]
Mind the gap — it’s swallowing whole,
The money, the mercy, the pieces of soul,
You can pray to the gods of the trap,
They’ll answer back — mind the gap.

[Verse 3]
Coffee cups and credit cards,
Buy your peace in bodyguards,
Every law they twist for fun,
Is a loaded gun for someone.

[Bridge – whispered, half-sung]
Static in the speaker’s breath,
Talking down the steps of death,
Somewhere under London clay,
A voice repeats the same cliché…

Mind that f…gap

As an author - composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
