1st Song Music - Indie & Alternative | April 2023

Lyrics
Boats are rolling on the sea
On the sea, on the sea
Boats are rolling on the sea
Navy cut an instant no-no
Roses growing in the dust
In the dust, in the dust
Roses growing in the dust
Feeding on the nascent ground

I'm in no mind
I waste my time
Make like four degrees from progress
Stand me on this line
When your powers of ten exceed

One or two are known to me
Visibly disagree
When you go away you see
Numbers on the star-lit ground
I was dreaming
Never speaking
Loads to bear ubiquity
Selling you the same old sound

I'm in no mind
I waste my time
Make like four degrees from progress
Stand me on this line
When your powers of ten exceed

So below my fine
Bigger portion better process
Sow disgust inside
Never make it back to sea

Claim me now
In domine tu
Earth be overreached
Sink in dreams
Like Numenor
Returning to the sea

Safe?
No-one's safe
Babies break
God has no teeth

I've had enough of fear
And slow obedience
It brings me to my knees

------------------------------------------

You and I, we’ve left behind
Everything we thought we needed
All the ballast that preceded
Overwhelming yearning to be free
Eternally bound to question our existence
Ceaseless overflowing of ideas
If you don’t mind, I’ll write them down
So we can sing about it

Patient defiance, longing of soul
Will to stay lucid in the fall
Document minutes slipping away
Living life to the fullest every day

You and I, against the tide
Everything we thought we wanted
Made us feel like we were haunted
Overwhelming bucket list of things
We’ll never be chained to fabricated future
The one that someone else designed for us
If you don’t mind, let’s spend our time like there’s no tomorrow

Patient defiance, longing of soul
Will to stay lucid in the fall
Document minutes slipping away
Living life to the fullest every day

We Stayed Indoors

Lucid in the fall

----------------------------------------------------

Tallest trees, they've been here a while
They have heard the battle-cries
Saw what we could be

Tallest trees, whisper in the wind
Wishing to forgive our sins
Wash the lasting pain away

We try to find some solace in the forest of our
Messy and miscalculated lives
We carve our names into the bark of living trees
So scared to disappear and someday vanish from the memory

Tallest trees, closer to the sun
Witnessed how it all begun
War of human greed
Tallest trees, growing till they fall
Till we come and take it all
Here to satisfy our needs

We try to find some solace in the forest of our
Messy and miscalculated lives
We carve our names into the bark of living trees
So scared to disappear and someday vanish from the memory

Now it seems we might be lost in the forest
Past the lines that we have crossed
We will promise to be careful with our needs
Fall in love again with our tallest trees

We try to find some solace in the forest of our
Messy and miscalculated lives
We carve our names into the bark of living trees
So scared to disappear and someday vanish from the memory

Tallest Trees

------------------------------------------

We woke up to a brand-new world
Where all the stories have been told
And emptiness is shimmering like gold
We struggle through this lonesome day
In our heads we ran away
The clock has stopped but time will not betray

Stop counting the days and make the days count
Forever is made of nows!

So is this the best it's gonna be
Will we be loved, adored and free?
Successful to the uttermost degree?
Accept the fact that no one knows exactly how the story goes
This ride of joyful highs and painful lows

Stop counting the days and make the days count
Forever is made of nows
We'll keep our vows
Forever is made of nows

We'll climb the highest mountain range
We'll do our best to grow and change
We'll love each other more
We'll face our deepest fears and worries
Convert them to brave art and stories

This is how we will feel alive again
We'll keep our vows
And embrace the meaning then

Forever Is Made Of Nows

New year came around
And we all hope to hear the sound
Of pages turning to reveal where we are bound
Searching for the answers at the bottom of our glasses
We’ll be counting fireworks till morning comes
I wonder if this year will bring more songs that we can sing together
When we feel alone

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

New year came around
And we feel lifted off the ground
As if we know exactly which way we are bound
No need for the answers, we’ll just learn our little dances
While we’re counting fireworks and holding hands
I wonder how loud we can sing
No matter what the year will bring
We’ll never be alone

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

Flares colouring the midnight sky
Light reflecting off our eyes
Seconds passing by
I’ll hold you close and keep you warm
You’ll smile and kiss me in return
Excited to reveal all we can learn

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

Counting Fireworks

Breathing recycled air
I can hear it filtering its way through all the vents above my head
They've locked the windows worried that we'll go ahead and jump
Perpetually on a cusp of a better life
We're going through the motions prescribed by the tribe
It's easier this way
We tell ourselves today
We stay

Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long

Breathing recycled air
Wandering through cubicles identically grey
Saving for the future we forget to live today
We fray
Kaleidoscope of ever-moving fragments
All the blessings and the mysteries
And chances and hope
We're drowning out our thoughts
With dashes and the dots
We stay!

Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long

The sky catches fire
When the sun goes down tonight
And we feel inspired 
To spread our arms and try to take flight
We live someone else's dreams
But that's okay -
We're still learning what it means
Still learning what it means

Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
Stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long

Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long

Second-hand Dreams

------------------------------------------

We couldn’t turn around and run
Kept staring at the barrel of a loaded gun
We found ourselves corrupted by the fear
Complicit when we faced a difficult frontier
We cannot bear to be alone
Yet we prefer alluring brightness of our phone
We try to prove we’re worth it and sincere
But somehow all that’s left is paralyzing fear

How?
How can we change?
Nothing is out of range for the brave
Go and ignite the flame!
Before it’s gone, courage to carry on
Whatever it takes to keep on staying strong

This is the day when we collide
Celestial bodies on a course of great divide
We struggle in denial till the end
Surrounded by those who are eager to pretend

How?
How can we change?
Nothing is out of range for the brave
Go and ignite the flame!
Before it’s gone, courage to carry on
Whatever it takes to keep on staying strong

I am not afraid to try and fall defeated
I don’t want to be the one who’ve never even tried
Fear of the unknown will always be my dear companion
I am not alone
We wanna turn around and run
But we keep staring at the barrel of the gun
We might have grown quite used to feeling fear
But it’s no longer our difficult frontier!

How can we change?
Nothing is out of range for the brave
Go and ignite the flame!
Before it’s gone, courage to carry on
Whatever it takes to keep on staying strong

Hopeful songs in a seemingly hopeless world
.
.
.
.
.Ever felt truly alone in your personal quest for meaning? Lonesome in a big crowd of cheerful friends? Never truly fitting in the online world of instant gratification and permanent records? Awkward in front of a camera or on a dance floor? Daydreaming in that beautiful world of literature and art? Experiencing strong feelings when listening to music? Feeling truly sorry for the cruelty of the world and looking for ways to make it a bit better?

 If you have answered “yes” to at least some of these – congratulations, you are in the right place.

We believe that any art form can have truly transformative powers and soothe a wounded soul. The world today needs empathy more than ever – and art helps with that. Humankind has suffered enough. The Planet has suffered enough. In the times when we are all connected we somehow feel even more alone. This can change if we embrace our differences and celebrate our kindness, open our hearts to change and fight our fears for the sake of reinventing ourselves.

We play music because we just cannot stop feeling things that need expressing – and making noises through speakers is the only way we’ve learnt. This is how we look for answers to the difficult questions and find some peace in the turbulent times.

Let’s feel things together – and let’s be better together!
