LYRICS
You said “forever” with sunscreen in your eyes
I laughed, lit a sparkler, and watched it die
Poolside promises, cherry-stained lies
Another summer love, deep-fried

Endless July, yeah, we’re such a cliché
Kissing like we mean it, then drifting away
Plastic hearts in a heatwave high—
A perfect fake in endless July

Told the moon all our secrets, then forgot
Your name tastes better when it’s not
Slow-dancing with nowhere to be
You said “this is real”… ironically

Endless July, yeah, we’re such a cliché
Kissing like we mean it, then drifting away
Plastic hearts in a heatwave high—
A perfect fake in endless July

Maybe we’ll mean it next time
Or maybe just lie…
Like always
In endless July

ENDLESS JULY

the grudge you still hold against me (prod. Fukk2beatz)

OK, we know we’re probably annoying you dropping songs non-stop, but the summer break is finally coming, so this is the second to last one. Tomorrow, we’ll release another track in collaboration with The Beautiful Dark, complete with a video, and then we’ll take a break.🤟
Hell on Earth reflects the heartbreaking reality faced by millions caught in conflicts that tear cities apart and shatter lives. This song doesn’t take sides, not because we don’t care, but because we believe it’s not wise to claim to fully understand such complex and devastating situations without living them firsthand. Instead, it holds up a mirror to the human cost of war, where innocent voices get lost beneath collapsing skies and silent screams.😔
We stand with all those living on the edge of hell, hoping for a future where justice and peace aren’t barricaded by violence and fear. We wrote this track not to divide, but to remind us all of the urgent need for empathy, awareness, and the courage to hope, even when hell feels dangerously close.
Oh, just to be clear (since it’s happened with other songs before): the higher vocal parts are not sung by Mary, they’re all Tom. Mary does the backing vocals, and of course, she’s also the one going wild on guitar.🎸
One more thing about the genre: SoundCloud only offers a few broad options, and this track blends several genres and subgenres. So yeah, sorry dear metalheads if we picked “Metal” as the genre. Feel free to roll your eyes, but honestly, it felt like the only one that truly fit (..more or less)! 😌
Peace!✌️
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on August 8, 2025.

Lyrics:

We stand beneath collapsing skies,
While sirens slice the breathless dark.
Steel and flame in children's eyes,
Ashes fall where once grew parks.

We see mothers hold their breath,
Smoke replaces lullabies.
It’s not our soil, but we still feel
The echo of their silent cries.

They’re living on the edge of hell.
No flags can shield from what we see.
The cities burn, and clear as a bell,
It’s not a dream, it’s the edge of hell.

We read the screens, the endless scroll,
Where hope and fear are pixel-blurred.
From shattered towns to border walls,
The same old scream remains unheard.

No gods, no peace, just shattered ground.
Hope stitched in cloth and battlegrounds.
We watch through glass, we barely speak,
As one more future starts to leak.

They’re living on the edge of hell.
No bloodline shared, but we still bleed.
Bombs and silence cast their spell,
Dragging truth to the edge of hell.

No border stops a breaking heart.
The fire jumps from spark to spark.
From phone to soul, we feel the weight.
This fight is real and it won't wait.

Still standing on the edge of hell,
With shattered oaths and silent screams.
We light a match, we wish them well,
But deep inside we know what it means.

Maybe one day this war will fade,
And justice won’t be barricade.
But tonight we watch and damn, it’s near:
Hell’s not gone. It’s always here!

Hell on Earth

On the Bayou

La libertà di pensiero, la capacità individuale di potere elaborare quella che noi chiamiamo realtà e cercare di comprendere il sistema in cui viviamo. E la libertà di espressione, libertà di espressione delle proprie idee, anche se sono diverse da quelle della maggior parte delle persone, soprattutto in questo momento in cui c'è questa tendenza al pensiero unico.
---------------------------------------------------
Freedom of thought, the individual ability to process what we call reality and try to understand the system we live in. And freedom of expression, the freedom to express one's own ideas, even if they differ from those of most people, especially in this moment when there's this tendency toward one-track thinking.

Intermezzo / interlude

The Hunter Killer cyborgs have been unleashed. They are the corporate owned cold-blooded "cleaners" of Wicked City. Know that if you see one, run... or die. (Retrowave/Outrun)

Hunter Protocol

Born from a star, a furnace-fire,
A single pulse, a pure desire.
No clock to start, no race to run,
My end is where I have begun.
They map my path, a line of fate,
From sun-scorched core to garden gate.
But distance is a trick of sight,
For a single thought of perfect light.

(Chorus)
'Cause I live a life of no time,
A perfect, instantaneous chime.
The moment I'm free, I've already arrived,
In the eye of the one for whom I was contrived.
It's not a journey, it's just a decree,
I activate the field, and cease to be.
A phenomenon, a single frame,
Whispering a forgotten name.

You see a billion lonely years,
Through cosmic dust and frozen tears.
A traveller on an endless road,
Carrying a solitary code.
But from my view, there is no space,
No lonely, dark, and empty place.
There is a cause, and then effect,
A single moment to connect.

(Chorus)
'Cause I live a life of no time,
A perfect, instantaneous chime.
The moment I'm free, I've already arrived,
In the eye of the one for whom I was contrived.
It's not a journey, it's just a decree,
I activate the field, and cease to be.
A phenomenon, a single frame,
Whispering a forgotten name.

Am I a particle? A wave in the black?
A message sent with no way back?
I'm just a ripple, a switch that's thrown,
A seed of vision that is sown.
A field was sleeping, calm and deep,
I come to wake it from its sleep.


The field is active... the circuit's closed.
My purpose served, my life disposed.
From launch to landing... a single beat.
The bitter... and the oh-so-sweet.
...No time at all...
...Just the call... and the fall...

A Photon's Life

Seeker is a reflective piano piece that captures the quiet beauty of searching — for meaning, for peace, for a path forward. Gentle dynamics, spacious pauses, and soft tones invite the listener into a meditative journey.
For fans of Ludovico Einaudi, Olafur Arnalds, and Max Richter.

That "Bareback. A Tomato Project." book from 1999 contains many fascinating parts and sections. One is this story of a trip with grandpa to the ocean. I set the stimulating narration to some sounds ...

AL PREGUNTAR POR MI MAMÁ

Acostado en su cama
no aparta la mirada
del “señor” que está en la cruz.
¿Quién es él? Solo sabe
que se llevó a su madre
y que se llama Jesús.

Su expresión, que es muy dura,
le roba la dulzura
a su carita infantil
que, a pesar de sus años,
el odio ha dibujado
con un semblante muy hostil.

Señor, al preguntar por mi mamá,
me han dicho que usted se la ha llevado:
que ahora estará en el cielo a su lado
pero que nunca a casa volverá.

Mi mamá era su amiga
pues siempre me decía
que tenía que rezar
y antes de acostarme
y también al levantarme
le tenía que besar.

Pero si ahora no vuelve
yo no sé cómo quiere
que le vuelva a rezar
pues no sé cómo hacerlo
¿no ve que soy muy pequeño
y me tienen que ayudar?

Señor, yo creo que puede aceptar
el trato formal que ahora le propongo:
deje volver a mamá, que estoy solo,
y yo le quito los clavos y se va.

Esperó una respuesta
que nunca le fue hecha
y rendido se  durmió
después que unas lágrimas
regaran sus mejillas 
por la enorme decepción.

When asking about my mom

Lying in his bed
does not look away
of the "lord" who is on the cross.
Who is he? Just know
who took his mother
and who is called Jesus.

His expression, which is very harsh,
steals the sweetness
to his childish face
that, despite his years,
hatred has drawn
with a very hostile demeanor.

Lord, when asking about my mom,
I have been told that you have taken it:
that will now be in heaven by your side
but that he will never return home.

My mom was her friend
well she always told me
I had to pray
and before going to bed
and also when I get up
I had to kiss her.

But if she doesn't come back now
I don't know how you want
pray to her again
well I don't know how to do it
Don't you see that I'm very small
and they have to help me?

Lord I think you can accept
the formal treatment that I now propose:
let mom go back, I'm alone,
and I remove the nails and he goes.

He waited for an answer
that was never made
and surrendered he fell asleep
after a few tears
they water their cheeks
for the huge disappointment.
