Lyrics: Makimakkuk

I was wondering what life could be
If I was stuck between you and them
I didn't finally know the way
So you became in trouble because of me

Left all of my strategies sometime ago
I just thought we won't make it to shore
I want to know, I want to know

My mother always told me that life is a bitch/snitch
She suffered from migraines always
Teenage is coming back for me and her
dripping colors everywhere

I was wondering I, I was wondering I

Walls

Paris - shake off my bones

Indie singer-songwriter verses with ethereal touches and electronic instrumental choruses. Contemplative, nostalgic, spots of melancholy, and a bit of heat in the instrumental breakdowns. There are more songs related to this one in the works, including an instrumental that builds on the chorus material.

LYRICS:
Living here today on a road they'll never pave
It's a shame, there's a glimmer
There's a glimmer!
Turn around before it fades... too late

I hear it had a name and they sold that yesterday
It's ok, or not ok
But the river is muddier today
And those glimmers glow ever dimmer by the day
By the day

Waking up today a willing castaway
Puts a finger toward a glimmer
And it's brilliant for an instant then it fades
I swear

Gazing at some dirt, a hush floats in then bursts
And a million screaming shadows form a picture
that will soon go up in flames
Watch it closely as it decays
Disintegrates

Up there around the bend, a graveyard full of friends
No one tends golden patches
And the cabin is overrun with copperhead snakes

So shall we cross the golden meadow?
We'll go together now

And Those Glimmers (Prototype)

let her go (acoustic stairwell version)

Lyrics:
Moonwalk when I'm on your block,
I need space like an Astronaut
Yeah boy, these Bars sharp,
catch a fade, welcome to the barber shop  

Pass me the bazooka
Kamikaze's coming at me, time to rack up the katyusha
I'm Jesus you're Judas, I'm Ceasar you're Brutus
ego lives in the head, then becomes a tumor
next time, look at facts and not rumors,
you sent shots, thx for the Kaluha,
 racist Arab rappers I'm establishing my Juba
I write with the same ink they tat on the yakuza,
rap buddha,  this your Seppuku , Welcome to your Hara Kiri 
Your death here is honorary, I swear on Qur'an el Kareem, 
You can run or go call a Careem,  but i cornered the streets
coroner's here,  treat me like a foreigner here, l
ike i won't interfere, i'm awoken by fear, 
i'm the wolf your the deer, keep the gulf
gimme the whole hemisphere
this  my house, i thought i made it clear
with burned dead bodies hanging down like chandeliers, 
i'm making money now, so you tryna racketeer
I Putin work,  can't racketeer a Vladimir
Maza fucker, eat a cock and a can of beer,
i'm not interstellar, i'm in a cellar
with Lebanese wine by the barrels and a crate of cheddar
with  a sack of hash smuggled into Jeddah
through the red sea like Moses, then turn to Mecca
give the devil Zam Zam, i give you back prosecco 
my rap's English, so to them I'm Amerka
but  i give them images like Joe Sacco
flow hydro, you need more rock wool,
i tour Europe, i bring dope, Morocco,
you're only relatively good, like Barrack O.
you don't fit in, retreat to your Mar-a-Lago 
this my minority report, 
you have privileges i don't, still I've open you these doors
put you in these movies, while composing all the scores
tried to give you work, but u act like its a chore
make no mistake that's hate at it's finest
Emperor's clothes, now you've met the designer
you think your a giant, I know where de Nile is,
with finance, Originals are now made in China
This the People's Republic, Ethiopians, Indians
Filipinos will love this, 
Middle Finger the Kafeel, Fuck how you feel 
i came to make money, and i came to clean up shit, 
It's the Mamluk King, over throw masters,
art of war with these Sun Tzu schemes
Come on man,, I'm a commandant, you a common man
they ought to ban all your tracks, 
me no limit I Auto-Bahn on these tracks
everyone getting bars, Erdogan with the raps
fake treasure in ur chest, silicone on ya racks
bring a knife to my gunfight, bring a metronome to my jazz
- me and you - different class
shoot 'em up, I'm Kurupt with the Dillinger, this is Daz,
you a village rat, i'm a city cat, i set the trap,
while you tryna piggy back to the piggy bank

هم حلين بدي وبديش اكون سافل 
غرقت المشهد سطور وقلب ساحل 
مش موضوع صعب بس بيجيش بالساهل 
كله مستاهل بدهم تعليم هاي حلقة مناهل 
لكم جاهل خذها زي دعاي اعتبرها فاصل 
او جدار عازل عم بكون عادل اخرس اخي الفاضل 
سوري عم بكون قاتل كله اللي كان فاشل 
اللي عامله هون ستيتمنت بدون فاشين 
فاهم المقصود هاظ محصول اللي كان مزروع 
لسه مسموع ابانا اللذي في السماء بحكي عن دوم 
المصير محتوم بعرف حالي كثير مظلوم 
بعمل اغاني للرابرز وبقعد لحالي مفصوم 
بفكر الفهم معدوم يقضيها مصدوم 
بعدها بقوم بولع سيجارة بعمل بالغرفة غيوم 
وبمطر بدون ما اقطر بكتب عشان الورقة اسطر 
الريحة فاحت فا بحاول باللي بحكيه اعطر 
كله بعطس وانا كمان صرت كثير متحسس 
بصحى متحمس بدعس عالاخر بس كله بفنص 
كله مش بس بالحظ شايف كله ملنص 
 بس هاظ المقطع قاعد في بخصص 


اه بخصب عم بحكي نووي 
جنتلمان بس بقدر اقلب نوري 
عايش بمدينة مزبوط بس بنساش اني قروي 
بمشي عالسنة وبمسك علوي والليلى بتروح علوي 
معي مكالمة خلوي الحكي فيها شروي غروي 
بتفرقش حتى لو دولي بلف العالم كروي 
بعرف انكم حافظين الهيب هوب بس نظري 
زي ما انت شايف الشغل هون كله عملي

Postcards is a shoegaze/grunge trio from Beirut, Lebanon consisting of lyricist, singer and guitarist Julia Sabra, drummer Pascal Semerdjian, and guitarist/bassist Marwan Tohme. The trio has been working together for over a decade and are Lebanon’s longest-lasting alternative musical group since they formed in 2012.

With four concept albums under their belt, Postcards has produced a diverse catalog ranging from their signature dream pop and shoegaze to post-punk and noise. Their highly-anticipated fifth album, “Ripe” will be out on March 28th, 2025, in a co-release by Lebanese label Ruptured Records and Berlin-based t3 records. A record born out of anger, grief, and uncertainty, “Ripe” showcases the band at their most ferocious, most vulnerable and most assured. As the world around them crumbles, the trio transmute their rage into something transcendental.

In over a decade of making music, Postcards has worked through periods of social strife and political violence in Lebanon, which Sabra has approached through themes of alienation, melancholy, and resistance. Working closely with their longtime collaborator Lebanese producer and musician Fadi Tabbal, they managed to reflect life in Beirut for their post-war generation, through textured soundscapes and raw intensity in their music, helmed by Sabra’s poignant words and graceful voice.

Postcards are firmly rooted in their native Lebanon, as all three members of the band are active in Beirut’s vibrant music scene, and were active members of various local projects throughout the years, most recently post-folk outfit Sanam and ambient/industrial duo Snakeskin.
