Why is it hard
To say no more
When you’re not satisfied
When did you try to feel again, anyway?

And when we can radiate this thunder
How can we pair off our love?

Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?

The sound of words is like light in the dark because
you shine so bright

I’m beneath the stars that light you
All the ways

And when we can radiate this thunder
How can we pair off our love?

Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?

I want to be the right way
You want to be the right way
We want to be the right way
Baby I can’t take it no more
We want to be the right way
We want to be the right way
We want to feel the right way
I can’t face another love again

Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?
Are we electric now?

Electric

"Paris" is a striking blend of '80s retro synths and expressive sax, creating a familiar and pioneering sound. Experience the energetic pulse of an '80s dance floor intertwined with the refined allure of a jazz club – this is the track's heartbeat.

The lyrics weave a compelling narrative, exploring the intersection of Paris' timeless charm with the moral complexities of the good samaritan law. It delves into the nuances of shyness, shame, and the journey to self-discovery, striking a chord with anyone who's ever felt like an outsider or wrestled with the decision to stand up for what's right.

How would you feel, in Paris? Are you the kind of person to do nothing?

Lyrics:

Glass bottle on the trail
And what do we owe
When It turned to ice in front of me
Some help, and some watch
If not you, then who will make the difference

How would you feel
How would you feel
In Paris, embarrassed

And it occurs to me
How brave of you capture this memory
Step away from feeling, love

How would you feel
How would you feel
In Paris, embarrassed

I'm lonely in this place
Just for a little while
And I can't believe you came for me
You're helping me, have faith in me

How would you feel
How would you feel
In Paris, embarrassed

How would you feel
How would you feel
In Paris, embarrassed

"Silence" is the 2nd track from Crash Landed's "Paris" EP. The song is about finding calm after busy social times, letting go of society's expectations, and focusing on what really matters. Imagery in the lyrics like fading laughter and empty glasses shows how short-lived and shallow party joy can be.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Sounds recede from laughter's height,
Fragments glisten in moonlight.
Stale perfume, the faintest trace,
In this silent after-chase.

Pre-Chorus
Champagne glasses, empty and strewn,
That reflects the ghostly moon. 

Chorus
I can’t wait to reach inside,
Searching for the keys you hide,
When all is lost you might just find
Oh, empty space.
Freedom from the overjoyed,
No more masks, no more noise. 
I find peace, I find my pace,
In the solace of empty space.

Verse 2
A million lights, a thousand sounds,
The crowded room, now fully drowned.
Remnants of the chaos past,
Now lost it seems in tranquil vast.

Bridge
Dawn's arrival, I breathe in deep,
Secrets in the silence, I keep.
Party's end, a saving grace, 
In the allure of empty space.

Silence

Lyrics

We would dive in deep
A lot of dreams, dive in deep
Like lovers sleep
In lavender

Ooh, I know where you rest
Ooh, there's no way back

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, nobody has

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, nobody has

How did I win
I never saved, anything
For the way back, and you did

Ooh, I know where you rest
Ooh, there's no way back

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, no-body has

Burn for burn, justice served
Wound for wound, you haven't seen the last of me yet
Bruise for bruise, no-body has

Swim [Acoustic]

Cover of Nemo's "The Code" (lower key, piano backing)

Welcome to the show, let everybody know
I'm done playing the game, I'll break out of the chains
You better buckle up, I'll pour another cup
This is my Boheme, so drink it up, my friend

This story is my truth
I, I went to Hell and back
To find myself on track
I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh
Like ammonites
I just gave it some time
Now I found paradise
I broke the code, whoa-oh-oh

The Code - Nemo (Cover) [Eurovision 2024 Switzerland]

Welcome the chaos
Steer clear of the abyss
Suspended in the midnight blue
Like a grinning meteorite

Catch you on the flip side
Mist tapping on my window
Hoping for restful slumber
Why am I soaring high?

Hey
I'm on holiday
From the earth
Up above the skyline
Scarlet fever

Glimmers in my misted sight
Droplets of condensation
Feel the water vapour
Just like a dialogue

Hey
I'm on holiday
From the earth
Up above the skyline
Scarlet fever

Hey
I'm on holiday
From the earth
Up above the skyline
Scarlet fever

Scarlet Fever

One gaze split the dusking air
A flicker caught, a hollowed stare
The glass between us cracked and thin
Traces of what once had been

Threaded words in tangled spines
Fractured shadows crossing lines
We held the stars; they felt so near
Now trembling hands reflect our fear

Can we tread this tide?
Or drift with the divide?

If I breathe, will the quiet break?
If I speak, will the moment shake?
Caught between what's real, what's dream
Afraid to fall, afraid to leave
Should I touch this flame?
Should I call your name?

Laughter fades on borrowed time
Each note bends out of rhyme
The bridge we built, now overgrown
Footsteps lost, the path unknown

One word unsaid, a siren's thread
Pulls the heart toward what's unsaid
The clock unwinds, its song unclear
Time's a circle carved by fear

Is the cost too steep?
Or worth the secrets we keep?

If I breathe, will the quiet break?
If I speak, will the moment shake?
Caught between what's real, what's dream
Afraid to fall, afraid to leave
Should I touch this flame?
Should I call your name?

Fragments falling,
whispers calling

Do I sever, let it die?
Or mend the wound, though it's a lie?

If I breathe, will the quiet break?
If I speak, will the moment shake?
Dancing on the verge of a bitter sea
Afraid to fall, afraid to set us free

Should I hold this spark?

Or vanish in the dark?

Quiet Break

Treading i'm treading with no chart to mind,
Slipping i'm slipping, each twist redefined,
Shifting i'm shifting, a fresh pulse awakes,
A course unspooled as wonder overtakes.

Unmoor, unmoor, [unmoor]
Cast off that stale decor, [let it go]
Drift into margins unexplored, [off we soar]
Unmoor, unmoor. 

Turning I'm turning, I continue to roam,
Thinking I'm Thinking, it's a novel tome,
Leaving I'm Leaving, tedium grown stale,
We are seekers, unmoored, unmoored to sail.

Unmoor, unmoor, [unmoor]
Cast off that stale decor, [let it go]
Drift into margins unexplored, [off we soar]
Unmoor, unmoor.
