// verse 1

come on follow me she said
gonna show you a good time
turn to me and grab my hand
her eyes can blow my mind

my head is spinning round and round (and round)
while i try to find the beat (the beat)
i dunno if i am lost or found (hello)
i fuckin suck at hide and seek

// chorus

drawbrige up,
i'm boarded,
look jaded,
fuck i'm faded

she's boarding
my ship
there's not a thing that i can do with it

but cut ties,
i'm sinking,
flatlining,
stop thinking

she's boardning
my ship
there's not a thing i wanna do with it

// verse 2

so this it how it feels
to give up the wheel
it's giving me the chills
the chills the chills

she is steering with a mission
an unavoidable collision
first a fusion then a fission
the chills the chills

my head is spinning round and round (and round)
while i try to find the beat (the be be beat t t)
i dunno if i am lost or found (hello)
i fuckin suck at hide and seek

Submission to the Reddit's Game of Bands, Round 145:  Track Must Build to a Climax at Some Point II

Lyrics: /u/specocean(https://soundcloud.com/the-specific-ocean)
Vocals: /u/jamthelows

Wake up late the same as every night.
Eyes heavy in the warm salt light, tonight.
I spot a chance, I want to make you mine.
I'll chase her up on the business line.

Long story, need to tell it quick.
Fingers tapping out a steady beat.
Get a message back, said "Hey, I'd like to meet"

Confidence covered with the K.L.S.
Runs like a dream when it's put to the test.
But here I'm sweating as I walk through the door.
Looks like she's brought along a few more.

One sugar
Two coffee

Toes twitching on the carpet
Get my hands back on the wheel
The right moves at the right time

Original lyrics:

Wake up late, same as every night.
Eyes heavy in the warm salt light.
Spot a chance, want to make you mine. 
I'll chase her up on the business line.
Long story, need to tell it quick.
Fingers tapping out a steady beat.
Get a message back, "hey, I'd like to meet", but, uh..
face-to-face ain't that easy for me.

Confidence covered with the K.L.S.
Runs like a dream when it's put to the test.
But here I'm sweating as I walk through the door.
Looks like she's brought along a few more.
Nerves start jamming and I can't compute, so
auto-pilot calculates an optimal route.
Devil's in the detail, and I gave her some more... still the
words are worth nothing with the triple-letter score.

One sugar 
Two coffees
Clarity

Toes twitching on the carpet
Get my hands back on the wheel and steer.
Right moves at the right time.
You'll get more if we can just talk...
in the same currency.

A Cycle That Goes Up

Submission to the Reddit's Game of Bands, Round 147: Parodies II

Music: /u/pdlourenco
Lyrics: /u/dvanpat
Vocals: /u/scottpontiac

This is a parody of the song "Into My Blood" by Shawn Mendes.

Lyrics:

There's the doves!

Crazy, that’s how it goes, the train I’m in
Sometimes I feel like getting drunk
But I already am.
I’m gonna eat this dove.

Dealing with these record whores, getting nothing
I brought these doves to let them soar, but now I’m hungry
I could go release these birds slowly
Just take a bite and you’ll feel better
Spit out its head and you’ll feel better
Just drink its blood it’s never better
Ok, whatever

Crazy, that’s how it goes, the train I’m in
Sometimes I feel like doing drugs
Last few I did were not enough
Going crazy
I’m living life in sin
Sometimes I feel like getting drunk
But I already am
I’m gonna eat this dove.

I’m gonna eat this dove.

I think I may have lost my mind, I’m paranoid
But can I see or am I blind, I’m destroyed
I did too much coke, I need a pill, oh lord yeah
I’m in my head I’m going

Crazy, that’s how it goes, the train I’m in
Sometimes I feel like doing drugs
Last few I did were not enough
Going crazy
I’m living life in sin
Sometimes I feel like getting drunk
But I already am
I’m gonna eat this dove

I’m gonna drink its blood!

It’s in my body now!
It’s in my body now!
I’m gonna spit it out!
Out of my body now!

Crazy, that’s how it goes, the train I’m in
Sometimes I feel like getting drunk
But I already am
I’m gonna eat this dove.

I’m gonna eat this dove
I’m gonna drink its blood
It’s in my body now
I’m gonna eat this dove
I’m gonna spit it out
I’m gonna eat this dove

Gonna Eat This Dove (Into My Blood parody) ft. dvanpat and ScottPontiac

Submission to the Reddit's Game of Bands, Round 162: Multi-part Songs

Music: /u/pdlourenco
Lyrics: /u/crested_snug
Vocals: /u/pfeifits

A new country.
A new life.
Turning over a new leaf, as they say, but the leaf is stained and blackened with soot.

Mother is all by herself now.
Abandoned... or outgrown.
The factory is my mother now, as much as I hate to say it.

I wash the dust off every night, but it's always there the next day.
Working its way under my fingernails.

Towards the void 
out of power 
going nowhere 
a 1000 miles an hour

set aside 
forgotten by time 
building nothing 
dime by dime

wandering 
the streets at night 
aimless drifter 
but what do I find

 A glimpse at hope 
an unturned stone 
not just a woman 
a love of my own

Under a clouded sky 
life finds a way to thrive 
the future is always bright 
when you have found the light

never been here before
 i've so much now to wake up for 
never been out the door 
to bask in the golden rays!

And just as swiftly as she came about, she was gone again.
Sweeping up all the joys and sucking up the colour out of the world.
The factory is my companion now, and i will let myself fall into its cold embrace.

 Love is just a verse in the life of a working man.

Just a verse feat. crested_snug and pfeifits

Submission to the Reddit's Game of Bands, Round 165: Troll Songs

Music: /u/pdlourenco
Lyrics: /u/vladimirdlc
Vocals: /u/kmbroom

[Deep inside the darkness of Moria a Troll chants a warning into the ears and of his fellow trolls] 

Hear my Olog
in the dark demon follows
I fear you my Olog
these halls far are from hollow

Olog-hai
much we tell we tell no lie
you hear cry
olog-hai tells be afraid not die 

Bal Garmadh x3 (like Fire Ruins)

Nar Udautas 
fire ruins, fire walks
Nar Udautas
fire spit, fire burns

Hear my Olog
in the dark demon follows
I fear you my Olog
these halls far are from hollow

Hear my olog
In the hollow, darkness flourish, fire follows
Olog-hai
fire spit, fire cries
be afraid not die

Crumbling rocks and rolling stones 
greenish scales and black-red blood
Nar Udautas, we say!
Nar Udautas, Olog zau

Afar Vadokanuk
Afar Angathfark
By the forge of my soul
By all the dead
Moira is my place to die
but not today!

Nar Udautas, we say!
Nar Udautas, Olog zau

Submission to the Reddit's Game of Bands, Round 191: Solitude
Won best track, best music, and best lyrics.

Lyrics: /u/Glory2Hypnotoad

Verse 1

Lights out
Not another soul for miles
Between the water and the trees
Under [these] endless, open skies

Out here in my seclusion
No noise, no light pollution
Staring out at the stars
So far but never closer
(never closer, no)
Than I’ve been right now

Chorus

So here I am stargazing
Eyes raised to the amazing
Cool wind and starlight gleaming
A deeper dream than [I’ve been] dreaming
(And yeah I am stargazing)

Verse 2

Back home
I remember pale white dots
Blending with the city lights
Nothing like this, barely bright

Out here in isolation
Alone among creation
Watching constellations drift
So far but so much closer
Than I have ever been


Chorus

Bridge

The explorer’s guiding light
The canvas where we paint our myths
A new frontier still unexplored
And so much more

Chorus

Stargazing

Submission to the Reddit's Game of Bands, Round 209: Looking back on 2020

Music: /u/pdlourenco
Lyrics: /u/phillnugent 
Vocals: /u/sireclecticous

Three hundred and sixty-five days
How has the world grown
Are we all where we all wanna be 
Or are we lost in the storm

We float on alone
We float on alone 
No looking back when yesterday's gone
We Float on x2

Hard to figure out when everything changed
When Half the world is on fire
Everybody else is so sick and tired
Of simply being ignored

(chorus)

I don’t have the time to think about tomorrow
I’m to busy just trying not to die
Do you have a little hope that I can borrow
I can’t find the last of mine 

In the end, we’re just all trying to breath
Gasping in between our yells
How can you stand up  for somebody else
When you’re busy taking care of yourself

(chorus)

(chorus)

365 days
How have you seen yourself change
