In the "Masquerade," the struggle for authenticity in a chaotic world takes centre stage. A plea to pause the noise and savour the moment. The song was written in a serene backyard, highlighting the beauty of finding joy even after everything seems to go wrong. It's a simple anthem about letting go and rediscovering the simple pleasures of life.

“We hope this track resonates with anyone feeling overwhelmed, encouraging them to step back, breathe, and rediscover the beauty of simply living”

Talk - Lyrics


I wish for a break from the masquerade 
To shake all these bad thoughts from my brain
No sleep from the street light through the panes
Ther rat in the roof is here to stay

And the kite pulls you around 
You’re tangled in a knot 
The sea’s so rough
Till you capsize

Talk to me 
Turn down the machine 
You’re only gonna burn it out
Watch with me
Roll another scene
Don’t stress it
We can play this out

Ahh Oohh
Ahh Oohh

I’m running from the bus
I can’t afford luck in this little town 
Missing the alarm, in a head rush
Don’t you ever get tired running in the wheel?
Don’t you ever get tired?

When the kite pulls you around 
You’re tangled in a knot 
The sea’s so rough
Till you capsize

Talk to me 
Turn down the machine 
You’re only gonna burn it out
Watch with me
Roll another scene
Don’t stress it
We can play this out

Ahh Oohh
Ahh Oohh

It’s funny how after everything went wrong
Now we’re feeling young in the backyard under the sun
Rewind to what we’re living for 
You don’t have to feel the rush
When the sea gets so rough

Talk to me 
Turn down the machine 
You’re only gonna burn it out
Watch with me
Roll another scene
Don’t stress it
We can play this out

Ahh Oohh
(Talk to me)
Ahh Oohh
(Talk to me)
