Random Gyan - Just Some (Random Gyan) EP

'Bills' is track appropriately, albeit not very creatively, named after just that- bills.Those dreaded documents that arrive to sullen your cheery mood at the end of every month, as you suddenly find yourself regretting the fancy new shoes in your closet and that night of generosity at the bar with your friends. Well, hopefully our song will be of some help in consoling your heavy heart, even if not much can be done about your empty wallet
lyrics
And the month is ending now 
It went off fast and how 
Recalling all that you spent 

That night, that particular night 
You wished you hadn't swiped your card 
Under the influence of those darned 
Darned intoxicants 
Showboating, guess you weren't noticing 
The figures on the card 
Just jostling for space, 
Guess you got it too 

Thinking about the same 
The elephant in the room 
Can you tame it in time 
Or not I guess 
Well it's sittin' on you 
Screamin' out for time 
And your mailbox 
'Cause your table 
Flooded with phone calls 
Your eardrums, your drums they kill! 

And that iffy credit's a stain that you wouldnt wanna have 
Just a little bit of this, an un-needed that, yes that you see 
The bloated wardrobes and the crazy shoe collection you have 
Mr. Snazzy now you're feeling hungover and can't 
Make your way through the space 
But those glares, they look so... so fab 

Thinking about the same 
The elephant in the room 
Can you tame it in time 
Or not I guess 
Well it's sittin' on you 
Screamin' out for time 
And your mailbox 
'Cause your table 
Flooded with phone calls 
Your eardrums, your drums they kill!

Bills

Hoi-An is a small, scenic beach town in Vietnam, which happened to be a pit-stop in a personal journey in which two wandering souls unwittingly fell for each other, knowing well that it would only last as long as the journey did. This song, with its pleasant ukulele and violin interplay, is a tribute to that short lived but everlasting memory.
lyrics
The sunlight nicked away from the sea 
We head down south from here 
Backpacks, helmets and two wheels and we got 

The sun, shrimps, the pho and the sea 

'Cause I don't know, no man knows 
We've been staring at the sea so long she said 
Is there something wrong with the waves tonight? 
And the funny way that we've been talking 
Cutting curves and now were falling for 
What we set out to avoid 

Dramatize, criticize your back 
With your hair streaming down your face 
Let me take in, acclimatize 

I assumed, how could I decide 
Hidden among those smoke plumes 
Fall in the trap again 

We are lost with time in these pretty streets of Hoi-An 
These yellow walls uneasy silences inbetween the noise of this crowd 
And the funny way that we've been talking 
Cutting curves and now were falling 
How can you make time move so fast? 

Dramatize, criticize your back 
With your hair straming down your face 
Let me take in, acclimatize 

Hoi-An, Hoi-oi-oi-oi-an 
'Cause I don't know, no man knows 
We'd been staring at the sea so long she said. 
The sunlights nicked away from the sea 
And a little you still a part of me 
You and silly me 
Still a part of me 
You and silly me 
You and silly me 
You and silly me

Hoi - An

Intergalactic lights is about this intrinsic dilemma whether individual fates are truly governed by celestial entities or by the individual themselves. Is it worth giving up on things citing fate, or can individuals within the nano-second of their relative existences change what they truly believe in. Our pseudo-intellectual take on lives, zodiac, astronomy and everything between us and the universe :)
lyrics
And she tried 
And she tried, to feign 
To feign that plastic smile 

And I tried 
And I tried striking 
A conversation to my bottle and bookshelf 
And she tried 
And she tried, like never before 
Again and she never knew why 
And he fought 
And he fought, like a mercenary 
With intergalactic lights 

This way we can bide more time 
With no apparent reason or rhyme 
We fail another time 
Plus or minus doesn't matter now 
I'm just spending my life with you 
And a self-styled confession 

So tell me, why'd you leave me? 
Why'd you leave me with this wave to fight? 
Star-crossed we were 
Star-crossed we believed 
Believed 
Let us end this, let us kill this miracle 
Before our fortunes collide 
Before our fortunes collide 
Collide 
Take me back to the start of the game, darling 
And I promise I won't complain anymore 
I promise I won't complain 
Anymore 

And she tried 
And she tried, to feign 
To feign that plastic smile 
And he fought 
And he fought, like a mercenary 
With intergalactic lights

'Outbox' is about the anxiousness you feel when you're texting someone new, and every text you type is calculated, measured, lest you send something inappropriate and lose the connection. As you press send, in the brief moment when your text sits in your outbox before being sent, a flurry of thoughts occupy your mind. 
"Was I too forward?" 
"Would I come off as funny or just lame?" 
"Was it too early to ask for bobs and vagene?"
lyrics
Should I write should I not, is it a lot 
It's a little confusing 
Will she get judgemental about me 

Or not that I'm assuming 
I guess I'm just assuming 
To be prompt or not that is the question I 
Ask to myself but now 
Will it look too fast but I can't afford 
Can't afford to let it pass 

It's late but you take another look at your cellphone 
That you've been staring at for the last hour 
The vibes make you skip a heartbeat 
For the solitary text that you received 

Oh well now, should've know 
Hadn't thought 
Hadn't given a thought but now 
Well I'm broke and your not and it's daft, 
Guess I can't afford your body shop 
Guess I can't afford your body shop 
Should I try, could I fail should I not 
Though she threw a look at me 
And to temptations we surrender 
Amid the haze I try to find the clarity 
Amid the haze I try to find the clarity 

It's late but you take another look at your cellphone 
That you've been staring at for the last hour 
The vibes make you skip a heartbeat 
For the solitary text that you received
