lyrics are intense but work well...an angsty dance tune

I am sorry I most probably was not supposed to laugh, but my god I won't get into a relationship with you it sounds like jail. After that you turned out pretty good Nova

Ok Nova... I just listened to "Open heart" so this is a 180 head snap lol  great lyrics and a dopafied beat.

catchy and funky, enjoying this one a lot

What a track - Perfect work🫶🎶☺️

April 2024

Three minutes before the bus …

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me
Let’s dive in deep.

Our tender hands 
Trying a shared life to pretend.
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me,
Let’s dive in deep.

Our touch touches all,
Our body and our soul. 
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

PRE-CHORUS & BRIDGE
Those were the days ,
Those were the nights

CHORUS
Roll the dice
Playing Risk
Who’s turn is it.

So purify
Wonder dreams
Like a gleam

VERSE 1
Nose in the showcase
clouding the fate
Counting the days,
it was a long wait
Sand in the shoes.
There was … no pain.

VERSE 2
Kicking the stones
To not return home
Waiting the train
Just to smash the coin
Bleeding knees
All was … a glee

VERSE 3
Pride in the pinball
Watch for the thug
Moove the machine
Control the tilt
Look for the way
The green light… is on

EXIT
For all was the first time.
First kiss, first broken heart
The future didn’t exist
But time run, run fast.

WASTING TIME by NOVA J

Same street, same house, same silent war
I don’t remember what we’re fighting for
Your eyes cut through me like icy air
If we’re honest, I just don’t care

Too exhausted to scream and shout
Lost count of what you’re angry about
Is this what love’s supposed to be—
Rotting in silent misery?

(We have a life, we have a home
But it doesn’t feel like my own)
(Wish I could be somewhere else
Wish I could be with someone else)
(“But youuu…”)
Anyone but you…

OH, who CARES?
IF I FUCK AROUND
OH, who CARES?
IF I BURN IT DOWN
DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

I hate the guest room where I’m confined
I pay the bills here, don’t I?
I don’t even hate you, don’t wanna cry
I just don’t care if you live or die

What have I become? Casually cruel
A special kind of monster when it comes to you
When I’m alone, I’m scrolling my phone
Searching for a stranger’s bed, not home

(I used to be like Lego man
Everything is awesome, yes I can!)
(Wish I could be someone else
Wish I could be with someone else)
(“But youuu…”)
Anyone but you…

OH, who CARES?
IF I FUCK AROUND
OH, who CARES?
IF I BURN IT DOWN
DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

We look so perfect on Instagram
Picture-perfect happy man
Our fake smiles make me sick
But I can’t leave—I’m chicken shit

OH, who CARES?
IF I TELL A LIE
OH, who CARES?
IF I SAY GOODBYE
DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

WASTING TIME

REARRANGED by Nova J

She says you’re quiet, deep, refined
But there is sadness on your mind
She calls you brilliant, says you’re wise
But there is pain behind your eyes

You found a woman who loves you still
Who holds your hand, who shares your will
But time moves fast, and things have changed
Maybe we’ve both been rearranged

(mmm-mmm-mmm)

You keep your sorrow locked inside
Behind the hurt, behind the pride
What kind of past can twist so tight?
And still feel present in your mind?

Now I speak instead of bite my tongue
Not to fight—just to be known
You wear your scars like battle wounds
But so do I, and mine still bruise

(mmm-mmm-mmm)

I was just a kid
(mmm, ohh)
You were hurting too
I was just a kid
(mmm, ohh)
I didn’t see you
But now I do

ANALOG by NOVA J

In my dreams I’m back in ‘93
In the office, computer-free
Fluorescent lights and rotary
Full of vintage machinery

Oh, I long to be analog (analog)
Yeah, I long to be analog (analog)

Off the grid
Analog
(Off the grid
Analog)

Yes to corded simplicity
No to scrolling anxiety
TV static serenity
In my dreams I’m back in ‘93

Yeah, I wanna be analog (analog)
Oh, I wanna be analog (analog)

Off the grid
Analog
(Off the grid
Analog)

In my dreams I’m trauma-free
Blur the bad that happened to me
Rose-colored glasses, simplicity
In my dreams I’m back in ‘93

Oh, I long to be analog (analog)
Yeah, I long to be analog (analog)

Yeah, I wanna be analog (analog)
Oh, I wanna be analog (analog)

Yeah, I wanna be analog (analog)
Oh, I wanna be analog (analog)

NFT  by NOVA J

Mmm, I’m running on empty again,
Heavy eyes, heavy heart in my chest.
Soul so tired, I just need some rest.

Sunlight through the window but it feels so gray,
Woke up drowning in the words you said yesterday.
Your poison in my veins but I won’t let it stay,
I’ve been carrying this weight till my back nearly breaks.
All your chaos and your noise, I’ve got nothing left to take,
So I’m closing off the hurt, letting silence have its way.

I used to set myself on fire just to keep you warm,
But those flames died out and I won’t get burned anymore.
You keep on talking but I can’t hear a thing,
I got my heart on lockdown, you don’t get to come in.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
I’m saving my soul, keep your drama away.
N-F-T — no love lost today,
You can’t steal my peace, I ain’t payin’ you no mind.
No fucks today, I’m numb to the pain,
Nothing you do is gonna make me cave.
No fucks today… no, no fucks today.

There were nights I couldn’t sleep, replaying every lie,
Gave too much of myself, left me bone-dry.
I built a wall out of all of the tears I cried,
Now your words hit my wall and they stay outside.
Every scar that you left turned to armor I wear,
Now I step through the fire and I don’t even care.

It took losing everything for me to draw the line,
Now I’m done with the battle that was never mine.
You keep on pushing but I won’t bleed again,
I got nothing to lose and nothing left to give.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
All your venom and hate, I brush it away.
N-F-T — I’m done hurting this way,
Took back my heart, now I’m keeping it safe.
No fucks today, I’m free from your chains,
You got nothing on me, watch me walk away.
No fucks today… no, no fucks today.

Under the skin, there’s a flicker of ache,
A part of me wonders how much more I can take,
I’d rather be numb than burn in your flame.
(Ooh-ooh)
I remember the hope that you stripped away,
Now the well has run dry, there’s no more to drain.
In the darkness I found I could light my own way,
I felt the fear in my veins but I let it decay.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
I’m claiming my space and I’m finding my way.
N-F-T — no more debt to pay,
You can’t make me feel guilty for walking away.
No fucks today, your shadow can’t stay,
I let it all go and I’m healing today.
No fucks today… (hey, hey) no fucks today.

No fucks today, I’m not giving in,
No fucks today… that’s the state I’m in.

Anywhere

I just wanna be free by NOVA J and MADRE

Woke up in the woods again
Sky so still, no sign of wind
Your face in firelight fades
But I still hear what you didn’t say

Breathin’ in the golden air
Nothin’ moves, I’m barely there

I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t wanna be perfect
Just don’t wanna bleed
I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t need a reason
Just need to be me

Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be me
Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be free

City dreams, they blur and fade
Got no heart left to persuade
I used to wish for better days
Now I just want peace that stays

Built a shield inside my mind
To block the noise I couldn’t fight

I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t wanna be perfect
Just don’t wanna bleed
I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t need a reason
Just need to be me

Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be me
Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be free

River at my feet
Wind don’t speak
Sunlight fades
But I still seek

Do you feel it too?
That hunger we hide?
The one that never dies—
The one we feed inside…

Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be free
Oh oh oh oh…
Don’t wanna bleed
Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be me

I JUST WANNA BE FREE

I am very pleased and proud to present my first collaboration with Sandi J. 🇺🇸 
SynthWave Rock Spirit ! ✨✨✨✨

Lyrics :

Will you embrace this love, or will you push it away?
Where will you run? X2,
Where will you hide?x2
Just turn around and face me, face me.
Will you embrace this love?
Or will you push it away?
Will you step into obsession?
Or will you let it face?
My heart can't take it anymore
Why do you have to leave?
Will you embrace this love
Or will you push it away?
Will you let it fade? X2.
Will you embrace this love ?
Or will you let it fade?
Will you step into obsession
Or will you let it fade ?

EMBRACE THIS LOVE Feat. Sandi J.

Beyond the purpose

This instrumental track, performed by GOLTZ (Gunther Benedict-drums, Christoph Musil-bass, Mario Palaschke-keyboards), is the result of a nightly improvisation over a poem by German writer Christian Morgenstern (1871-1914).

Gruselette

A dear friend asked me if I wanted to set one of his poems to music. Well, I did. And this is what came out of it...

The title of the poem is “Augenblick”, which means "moment", but literally “blink of an eye”.

Augenblick (by Hans H. Hiebel)

Tender day
The eye-lid of the night
Has opened
Time
Is twinkling at us
And because everything is divided
And must be divided
We twinkle back
And death
Closes the lid


Composition, vocal, guitar and piano by Joliz.

The track wouldn't be the same without Robert S. Dean... Thank you!

PARTY PEOPLE

INFINITY POOL by NOVA J

Feel the breeze (breeze)
Could all fall down
You and me (me)
One slip — we drown

They say I’m lost
I stare too long
At the edge
Of what feels wrong
Every step
Led me here
Now my head
Is full of fear

Did I lie to me?
Was this ever true?
Did I chase a dream
Built on you?

Feel the breeze (breeze)
It’s breaking down
You hold me (me)
Still might drown

Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)

Sun on skin
Toes in sand
If I sleep
Might burn my hand
Wave comes fast
Can’t rewind
It’ll take
All that’s mine

Did I lose my path
To make this real?
Did I trade it all
For a feel?

Cracks show now (now)
This place breaks down
You hold me (me)
Still might drown

Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)

Sharks around
They smell the fear
We go down (down down down)
If they get near

Did I lie to me?
Was this ever true?
Did I lose my way
Chasing you?

Feel the breeze…
One slip…
We drown…

Infinity pool
