this has been stuck in my head for a week <3

Post-School Playlist 1

Expectations

Everything You Want

A stark protest song about modern warfare at a distance. The lyrics follow a drone operator caught between the cold detachment of screens and the bloody reality that never reaches him directly. Blending haunting imagery with blunt reportage, the track highlights how war can look like a video game from afar while leaving devastating human costs on the ground. A mix of storytelling and protest, it closes with a plain-speech quote that grounds the song in real numbers and real grief.

(Verse 1)
He’s a ghost in the house, a shadow in the wire
Trained by the code, not his own desire
Virtual headset on, release the drone
A strike in the desert, a place he’s never known

Chorus
They tell me it’s a war, but it looks like a screen
The bodies are falling where he’s never been
The killing feels distant, the carnage unseen
Just numbers and targets in a terrible machine

Verse 2
He goes to sleep and sees the faces, the ones he never knew
Flickering like static, in a hell that’s something new
Tries to tell his wife about the ghosts that haunt the screen
She says, “honey, it’s a war, and it’s something you have never seen”

Chorus
They tell me it’s a war, but it looks like a screen
The bodies are falling where he’s never been
The killing feels distant, the carnage unseen
Just numbers and targets in a terrible machine

Bridge
Every single mission, every single kill
Is just another credit, another box to fill
A target in the crosshairs, a pixel on a screen
The most expensive video game the world has ever seen

Final Verse
He shuts down the system, and goes out in the sun
His only enemy, the quiet syrup in his veins
He sees the kids at the bus stop, their laughter like a chime
And a thousand miles away, he doesn’t recognize his crimes

[Plain Speech]
"The Gaza Health Ministry has reported a staggering death toll of over 64,000 Palestinians since the war began, with a significant proportion being women and children"




ANOTHER DIGITAL SOLDIER

Living your life while running away from yourself can feel like an endless journey, getting closer to accepting who you are sometimes even more so. but the latter can improve your empowering sense of destination and ambition along the way. it’s ok to feel sad, lonely or angry, as long as you realise it’s timely too. this is the feeling we tried to convey with “Homebound”

✏️ Lyrics
Losing track under the water
Searching for something that I been missing
Looking back when we were younger
Heart beats were rushing blood always pumping

I drive away, leave it behind us
Without a trace, live for the day, dance in the moonlight
No one can say, we didn't do it right
So far away...

Baby I forgot to breathe
This town's got a hold on me
My mind is a casualty, find me open spaces...
Static in my blood
Can you feel the flood
Yeah I've seen enough, find me open spaces...
Open spaces

Feel the weight under the weather
Counting the thunder keeping me under
And if we break out from the tethers
Fade into each other, into each other...

Open Spaces
