GODSPEED Lyrics

After classes
Like cold molasses
We fell through the foggy air
Abandoned houses
We kissed on couches
Forgot that the world was there

All the time and passion we wasted
All the anticipation that’s faded
I’m faded
I’m chasing

Travel with Godspeed
Over the sleeping hills
Broken like lightening
Following you still

After classes
Like cold molasses
My hand in your tangled hair
In careful movements
We drew the blueprints
To leave this pale town despair 

All the science and progress we wasted
All the anticipation that’s faded
I’m fading
I’m chasing

Travel with Godspeed
Over the sleeping hills
Broken like lightening
Following you still
Into the blue dream
Light of the last sky
Head like an aeroplane
Feet like a stone pilot


Godspeed

Magnificent Life

In the air, this golden cathedral,
Magnificent life.
Reverberation in harmonies,
Like you’re hanging on a star that can take you anywhere.
But if you refute your future,
Or refuse to be,
Then a fool and a beggar be waiting on you.
Do you think we could unplug the lies?
Shimmy into ultra-mind and make it all just disappear.
All the ego, all the i and woe,
All those psychic vampires that you know,
They all just disappear. 
They simply disappear.
Tilt my face, feels like I’m treading water.
I know all the moves, heard all the lines before.
Inconsequential theologies,
When you’re hanging on a star that can take you anywhere.
Do you think we could unplug the lies?
Shimmy into ultra-mind and make it all just disappear.
All the ego, all the i and woe,
All those psychic vampires that you know,
They all just disappear.
They simply disappear.

close your eyes
for every night has its secrets
come claim your prize
from this tub of filthy trinkets

defy the wind
let me come in
though all the doors they might 
swing wide
you slashed for days
and walked roads unpaved 
but you will lay here with me tonight

a clever child
oh but you grew up so haunted
the flames run wild
oh, was this not what you wanted?

defy the wind
don’t let them in
for you are sworn now to me 
my love
the saints parade
while dancing profane
but still they pray on their knees
for love

and so we cast off 
in that burned balloon
returned up to the sky
then a fabulous fall 
and farewell to you all
well i never was much of one 
for goodbyes

open your eyes
now you are just another secret
the serpent unwinds
you ask “darling, can we keep it?”

yes i’m the wind
and i’m coming in
and all the doors 
they shall swing wide
we slashed for days
and walked roads unpaved
but you will lay here with me tonight

Oumuam is a small interstellar body spotted on October 19, 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope installed on the Haleakalā Observatory, Hawaii, while it was 0.2 astronomical unit of the Earth. It is the first identified object to come from outside the Solar System.
Some scientists even think it could be an alien ship! So let's dream a little!
Oumuamua, est un petit corps interstellaire repéré le 19 octobre 2017 par le télescope Pan-STARRS 1 installé sur l'Observatoire du Haleakalā, à Hawaï, alors qu'il se trouvait à 0,2 unité astronomique de la Terre. Il est le premier objet identifié à provenir de l'extérieur du Système solaire.
Certains scientifiques pensent même qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un vaisseau extraterrestre ! Alors rêvons un peu !

La Sixième Extinction ( Extrait )

Ready for a dreamy journey into the UCR sound? If so, here comes a special occasion to let your mind fly on the vibes of our ‘Sonorities’. Our latest compilation features some of our old and new friends which joined the mission to trespass geographical and cultural borders, and to create a multifaceted community united in the common love for music. Our ‘Sonorities’ travel slow, but they travel far. Organic and joyful sounds reminding of Latin America and of their native people are flanked on the one side by instruments and motives coming from the East, on the other side there are urban trippy rhythms. Ecstatic dancing beats travel alongside ethereal and mesmerizing melodies. Such diversity is not only meant to present the variety of sounds which these great artists can exhibit, but also to represent the diversities among human beings which are here united in one heterogeneous and harmonious complex, as it’s the world we envision - a whole symbiotical organism...

For the ones you love...

No Time For Watching Clocks

Please don't run so fast
Life is long
Don't fall on the broken glass
Our love is a promise
A lifelong souvenir
Once given not forgotten
None shall disappear

You don't need nobody 
To say who you are
You are what you are
You're a shining star

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they make a fool of it

I'll take my chances on the way
You'll find if you go astray
There is nothing in this world 
You need fear from anyone
Life is long
Life is you

Boomtown
Meltdown
Build you up to let you down 
I can break 
No mistake
Want to be a salad plate?

Get on up 
Buttercup 
Guess you better suck it up
Tough luck
Be the rock
Aint no time for watching clocks

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they live their life in fear

There is something in this world 
To be for everyone
Life is long 
Life is you

Para Lia - 'Who Gets Fooled Again'
from the  album 'Soap Bubble Dreams'
https://paralia.bandcamp.com/

words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018
mix and production: René Methner
mastering: Thomas Heimann-Trosien, TurnstyleMastering, Berlin

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

Who Gets Fooled Again

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
