There’s actually a story behind this track… I’ve been playing at a garage gig a few days ago, and pretty miserably failed all my transitions. Most of all, I had taken the maximum guarantees by using OT Song Mode for the first time in live (hence the failure) and just couldn’t get some guts in the sound. At the end of the night, a bloody DnB DJ just kicked my ego by pointing all my defects, one by one. I just couldn’t do anything but taking it all, knowing he was damn right from A to Z.  This is a track for all people that accept vulnerability and expose themselves to the humbling danger of someone else’s conscient glaze in order to become better.

Dedicated to Lee for his words, and Maria Popova for their moving letters.

LYRICS

Enter a world that will never 
Make you want to surrender 
To all of your fears and desires
It’s breaking my heart that
Forever is not enough anymore
For you to endeavour 
To see with brand new eye
Brand new eyes

Falling Kings and Queens that never touch the ground 
Oxidise our dreams and watch them burning down, down

Breathe while we go on and on and on and on
We’re turning into stone and concrete
Breathe while we go on and on and on and on 
Your silence makes me skip a heartbeat 

What if this wasn’t your life
What if you were the third eye 
Then all of your fears and desires would break into pieces of nothing
But who am I to react?
I was born with the wrong heart
But seeing with brand new eyes
Brand new eyes - now

Breathe while we go on and on and on and on
We’re turning into stone and concrete
Breathe while we go on and on and on and on 
Your silence makes me skip a heartbeat

Our falling Kings and Queens that never touch the ground 
Oxidise our dreams and watch them burning down
Our falling Kings and Queens that never touch the ground 
Oxidise our dreams and watch them burning down, down 

Breathe while we go on and on and on and on
We’re turning into stone and concrete
Breath while we go on and on and on and on 
Your silence makes me skip a heartbeat
Your silence makes me skip a heartbeat

Oxidise
