Lyrics

What I could have been.
Washed out by the salty sea.
Oh, it is just a dream.
A dream that's obsolete.

What a place to be.
A place where you can go and see.
The things that you could be.
All that you could dream.

Now you'll never know.
Anywhere's the way to go.
Oh, It's all for the show.
Now you'll never know.

Washed out by the sun.
This sun is just the current one.
The bun that traps the fly.
Now you wave goodbye.

Just wasted on the sand.
Wasted in a foreign land.
Wasted like you planned.
You wasted all your hands.

Time it ticks away.
Ticks away another day.
The days they will not stay.
The days they go away.

What I couldn't see.
Washed out by the salty sea.
Reminds me of the time.
I searched but couldn't find.

A scar that fades away.
Reminders of the former days.
The days that fade away.
The days they often change.

The salty sea imbibes.
More than you would care to mind.
You're full up to your eyes.
The salty sea revives. 


Salty Sea [2024 Remaster]

You called me in the dead of night
Said, "Prove your love, come win the fight"
Through storms and streets, I made my way
To find you standing cold and grey
Your gaze was sharp; your words, a maze
But I thought I'd earned your praise

It was a test
To see how far I'd bend
It was a test
A game you'd never end
You wrote the rules, the marks you'd keep
And all I did was fall too deep

You placed the glass within my hand
And told me, "Drink to understand"
The taste was bitter, sharp with lies
Yet I swallowed for your sighs
But when I staggered, you just smiled
And called me weak-a foolish child

It was a test
To see how far I'd fall
It was a test
Not a chance at all
You pulled the strings, a wicked jest
While I unraveled at your request

You set the stage, a gilded trap
With praise that hid the poison's snap
No answer right, no move to win
The judge, the jury-your hidden grin
I took my shot, I played my part
But you tore through my fragile heart

It was a trap
A noose you couldn't see
It was a trap
Never meant to set me free
You built the walls, locked every door
And left me wanting something more

But here's the twist-you failed the most
You played the god, but I was the ghost
I broke the script, I'm leaving now
Your rules are dust, I'll take my bow

It was a test, but now I see
You wanted power, not honesty
It was a trap, a cruel charade
But now I'm gone-you're the one betrayed

It Was a Test

The core theme of this track is “Empathy and support” that revolves around people’s desire to understand and support their closest companion who appears sad. The repeated lines "We are on the same boat" and "We are on the same ship" emphasize a sense of shared experience and a willingness to navigate challenges together.
The mood of the song is calm, chill, sad, and ethereal.

The tempo is 100 bpm which goes with piano and a soothing vocal sound. Bridge part was touched with tenor saxophone which makes a strong connection between narration and musical emotion.

By adding rich reverb effects, sound became ambient while still maintaining a usual pop sound.

We are on the same boat

Peeping Moon

On the evening of 28th February, seven major planets in our Solar System appeared in the night sky at the same time, with Mars, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus all lining up in a neat row next to the Sun. 

Nobody knows the last time that this major planetary reunion occurred. But Andreas (@APi_ZZ) thought it might be fun to imagine what the craic would be all about, and so this is what we've come up with.

The Cycle Of Life And Dead

Bandcamp

Today is calling with a crooked smile
Just 5am and I walk a crooked mile
And you there sleeping like a little child
And me here working, and the thought it drives me wild
And oh no, got to make it through the day
It ain’t forever but I got to earn my pay
The kick inside you says it’s got to be this way and so I’m

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

The sun it falling as I walk these dirty streets
15 below, I can barely feel my feet
Turn the corner and she’s waiting by the wall
My heart is beating and I’m waiting for her call
And I’m home and I’m taking in your smile
Is this forever, or is it just a little while
And if we’re guilty then I’m ready for the trial and so we’re

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

Now you’re here dreaming, laying in my arms
3 hearts are beating, underneath the stars
But I’m not sleeping, ‘cause I got to find a way
To pack away our fantasies, our Dreams and fly away…..
