lyrics:
Wings on a Wagon
----------------
We've spoken twice
and roll the dice
i said i'm leaving this town for a day or two
I packed my bags
i'm on a railway track
i'm gonna see you again my love really soon
We're sailing into the unknown, before the sun comes up
Why we've become so distant? i see wings on a wagon
Why there's no line to reach you, we are flying on flamed wings of a dragon
there's only youth around me, only young angels beside me
i said don't worry about me, i see wings on a wagon
the end is near, i felt no fear
i had no time to think about
i saw the flames, i heard some names
and then connection lost for eternity
and i will call and i won't fall, get some rest and sleep well    
and i'll be there and i'll take care, don't worry mom i won't be late...

Stop and Think

The lyrical themes of this song stem from a crazy dream I had. I have only ever once had a true Lucid Dream, which prompted me to write this song.

In my dream, I was in a metropolitan landscape, underneath a bridge, and all of a sudden, a dragon appeared and began destroying the bridge. I began to film this with my phone, since I was bewildered to see a mythical creature in real life. Unfortunately, this somehow? drew the dragon's attention and I had to run away. Suddenly, the dragon disappeared and as I was running away, some CIA agents in suits began chasing me as I looked for a way to escape.

I came to a lake where I was able to get on a Jetski and escape. But unfortunately, the agents caught up with me. I had a wild theory that the agents had created the dragon in a lab and it had escaped, and I had footage. For that reason I was being pursued. Eventually I ended up in a wind-tunnel like concrete structure and the agents caught up with me once more.

I told them that I had backed up the footage to the internet and if anything happened to me, I would immediately release the footage on the internet exposing the conspiracy, which would result in governmental collapse. All of a sudden the dream changed, and I was in a shopping centre. I noticed at this point that something was not quite right and came to the realisation that I was dreaming.

At this point, I began to trial a few things since I identified that I was in control of the dream. I began destroying the shopping centre with flames from my hands. I began to fly above the clouds. I never felt so exhilarated and powerful in my waking life. I began to grow to the size of a giant. All of a sudden I became so gigantic that I burst through the glass domed shopping centre and could see a land of crystalline skyscrapers stretching miles. I began to destroy them with my hands of fire. After all, I knew it was not real and a dream. Then I began to wake up, and the sky cracked and collapsed on top of me.

With this imagery I attempted to design album artwork to reflect the fantastical nature of my dream using AI image generation.

One of my all-time favourite movies is Christopher Nolan's "Inception", so naturally some allusions to this movie ended up coming into the lyrics of the song.

Originally in 2020 when I wrote this song, the lyrics were entirely different. Like many others at the time, my plans for international had been well-and-truly cancelled due to the emergence of COVID. The lyrics were considerably more depressing and focused on feeling trapped and robbed of a gap year that I had worked so hard to achieve, after 5 years of medical studies that were incredibly taxing on my mental health. Feeling burnt out, I was unable to travel due to strict governmental regulations worldwide which influenced the preliminary version of this song. As this era passed, the lyrical themes no longer provided a message that I wished to present in my music. For that reason I changed the lyrics to reflect a crazy surreal experience that I had in the world of dreams. 
lyrics
LYRICS:
Fading rays of daylight
Fall into the dark night
Enter the wormhole
Subdivide my soul

Can you feel the change, there's something not quite right in this vicinity
Loss of gravity, I'm soaring through the skies freely
Hands of scorching heat, I lay waste to the diamond skyline pillars
False reality, the sun sets in the east

Open up your eyes to the possibility that we are stuck inside a dream right now
Now my subconscious will turn on me, the lightning storm approaches
Monsters shift their piercing gaze, I flee, the hills inside my skin engorge, remember
I'm the one who built this world, expand beyond a thousand peaks, I stand

Time eternal inside my universe
Lucid architect, I cannot be stopped by projections

Cracks in the sky, an earthquake is shaking me
Sound the alarm, I hope I'm not awakening
Breaking the glass of the lucid dream

------------------------------
You're so strage to me

you got offended so fast
you're not built to last
you're made of sugar, butter and shit

You think it's only you
you cry like a bitch
your job it's only to abuse

whatever i say is wrong
your life is like a crappy song
no reason to talk to you anymore!

Explicit lyrics:
Felt like almost dead, would you carry me home, would you lay me down?
Felt like shit again, would you bring my pills? do you know how it feels?

i don't know where to go...is this the end? i don't know!
From the tip of my head...till my toes, is this hell and heaven's above?

is there a free ride or a lottary prize? to win to lose on an XL size?
crappy or not, time will show...all i know is heaven's above!

I don't wanna buy a lotta food
i don't wanna get rid the booze
i don't wanna buy an SUV
i don't wanna get fatold and get peed

i don't wanna watch the news
i don't wanna get dirty with tools
i don't wanna smell your farts
i don't wanna mess around with you fatfucks!

Heaven's above?

lyrics:
Like we used to
---------------
We don't play in gigs like we used to
We don't play in the streets like we used to
We don't hang out in squares like we used to
and we don't drink ice cold beers like we used to

and now we grew up, became strangers we fell on trap 
and the days are not the same, like we used to...used to

We don't jam at all, like we used to
we don't grill outside the yard, like we used to
we don't party as friends like we used to
we don't say hello like we used to....used to

and now egos stood up, became cold and all that crap
and the years are not the same, like we used to...used to!
