The compass in our hearts, now
Is spinning out of control, how ?
All calls have been dropped
All the signals stopped

In this moment of silence
(that slowly falls)
we crawl looking for a guidance
(to lead our souls)
All calls have been dropped
All the signals stopped

When we were in the sun
Risking our wings getting burned
We did not realise then 
We'd dug our future grave

When we bought everything 
And wasted all that it could bring
We started wondering in the heat
Who we were going to eat

In pixels and likes, we've grown, but
True connection remains unknown 
All calls have been dropped
All the signals stopped

With individualism's embrace
(that slowly falls)
We are strangers in the same space
(with lonely souls)
All calls have been dropped
All the signals stopped

When we were in the sun
Risking our wings getting burned
We did not realise then 
We'd dug our future grave

When we bought everything 
And wasted all that it could bring
We started wondering in the heat
Who we were going to eat

When we were in the sun
Risking our wings getting burned
We did not realise then 
We'd dug our future grave

When we bought everything 
And wasted all that it could bring
We started wondering in the heat
Who we were going to eat

When we bought everything 
And wasted all that it could bring
We started wondering in the heat
Who we were going to eat

All calls have been dropped
All the signals stopped

La boussole dans nos cœurs, maintenant
Tourne de façon incontrôlée. Comment ?
Tous les appels ont été interrompus
Tous les signaux se sont arrêtés

Dans ce moment de silence 
(qui tombe lentement)
Nous rampons à la recherche d'un guide
(pour guider nos âmes)
Tous les appels ont été interrompus
Tous les signaux se sont arrêtés

Quand nous étions dans le soleil
Risquant de brûler nos ailes
Nous n'avons pas réalisé alors 
Que nous avions creusé notre future tombe

Quand nous avons tout acheté 
Et gaspillé tout ce que cela pouvait apporter
Nous avons commencé à nous demander dans la chaleur
Qui nous allions manger

En pixels et en likes, nous avons grandi, mais
La vraie connexion reste inconnue 
Tous les appels ont été interrompus
Tous les signaux se sont arrêtés

Avec l'étreinte de l'individualisme
(qui tombe lentement)
Nous sommes des étrangers dans le même espace
(avec des âmes solitaires)
Tous les appels ont été interrompus
Tous les signaux se sont arrêtés

Quand nous étions dans le soleil
Risquant de brûler nos ailes
Nous n'avons pas réalisé alors 
Que nous avions creusé notre future tombe

Quand nous avons tout acheté 
Et gaspillé tout ce que cela pouvait apporter
Nous avons commencé à nous demander dans la chaleur
Qui nous allions manger

Quand nous étions dans le soleil
Risquant de nous brûler les ailes
Nous n'avons pas réalisé alors 
Que nous avions creusé notre future tombe

Quand nous avons tout acheté 
Et gaspillé tout ce que cela pouvait apporter
Nous avons commencé à nous demander dans la chaleur
Qui nous allions manger

Tous les appels ont été interrompus
Tous les signaux se sont arrêtés

All The Signals Stopped

A demo for FAWM 2024

Colab with @kajati who plays bass

inch by inch
drop by drop
they reeled us in
til they’re on top

but you and me
wow, we’re so free
to be whatever
we want to be

the world burns
as the world turns
chickens come home to roast

last gasp
of a dying lung
served with
dreams on toast

and you and me are finally free
to be whatever
we wanna be

oh yeah.... oh yeah

the fat cop spoke
nothing to see here folks
this man he died alone

sitting on the couch
watching fox news
screaming along with host

an ar15 and a bucket of wings
he truly died young and free

Freedumb!

One verse One Chorus One Outro sometimes less is more ! 
A song about a friend who was so in love with a girl but she never felt the the same way and he was kept at arms length. They had the occasional drunken fumbles but never the whole way. It hurt like hell but he never wanted to not keep seeing her as friends. She always kissed him on meeting and always kissed him goodbye. 
We give you Friends who kiss 💋 


V1
I’ve had a little taste 
of my dream
better than to of  never tasted it together 
I drive myself to the edge of my
sanity 
I think I love you more than I love
football 
I wanna slide more than into 
my sleeping bag
Lying on your floor and  you in  your king size bed

Chorus 
I wanna be  the hero in your corner
You my  Barbie transformer
Together we can take on everything 
Be lovers be fighters be storm riders 
Not just friends who kiss 
Whooooooo Kiss 

Outro 2.35 
Like a moth to the Flame,  there’s nothing left to gain
I  look like a man who is running out of Road with you

Friends Who Kiss ~ Conscience Of Kings

Lyrics:
Adjusting the aim, changing the mind.
Serving the dream, seeking to find.
Transmuting views, a genius, the bond.
Messiah, a muse, divine fools. (fools abscond)
Swan song release, the pearl and the wave.
The throng and disease, Wheel of life and nave. (wheel of life)
The eye of the storm, fighting illusion.
The shadow of form, the hermit seclusion.
Occlusions that seal, cover the eyes.
A cycle reveals, a giant surprise.

Divine Fools

C'est le moment de rassembler nos forces pour créer le monde de demain 
(Traduit plus bas)
-----
I woke up from a dream where everything was blue
And I thought it felt so real, somehow it must be true
I've wandered aimlessly all the nights and days 
Under this azure sky, there were so many ways

No, I don't care what people say
I'd rather live a dream than stay
Stuck in this glue
Moaning every day, waiting for something new
I'll let the skeptic cynics sneer
Because I've found my purpose clear
In this crazy new world
In this chrysalis world

I'll fight the same old fools, I will show the way
I'll be joined by many more who've have enough of grey
In a world where forests whisper wise secrets to me
We'll cling tightly to the trees, and we'll swallow the key
 
But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye

I wanna wake up every day
Without some bad news, if I may 
We can move on
And teach it to our child he'll teach it to his son
Re-learn to look at the ocean 
Overflowing with emotion
Remember it's fragile
It all depends on our will 

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
 
"I was standing on the cliff, looking out to the sea
The sky reflected on the waves 
Creating many colours, between green and blue
Beauty washed over me and without realising it
I began to smile"

Je me suis réveillé d'un rêve où tout était bleu
Et j'ai pensé que c'était si réel, que ça devait être vrai.
J'ai erré sans but toutes les nuits et tous les jours 
Sous ce ciel azur, il y avait tant de chemins

Non, je me fiche de ce que les gens disent
Je préfère vivre un rêve plutôt que de rester
Coincé dans cette colle
Se lamentant chaque jour, attendant quelque chose de nouveau
Je laisserai les cyniques sceptiques ricaner
Parce que j'ai trouvé mon but clair
Dans ce nouveau monde fou
Dans ce monde chrysalide

Je combattrai les mêmes vieux imbéciles, je montrerai le chemin
Je serai rejoint par beaucoup d'autres qui en ont assez du gris
Dans un monde où les forêts me chuchotent de sages secrets
Nous nous accrocherons aux arbres et nous avalerons la clé.
 
Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir

Je veux me réveiller chaque jour
Sans mauvaises nouvelles, si je peux me permettre 
Nous pouvons aller de l'avant
Et l'enseigner à notre enfant, il l'enseignera à son fils
Réapprendre à regarder l'océan 
Débordant d'émotions
Se souvenir qu'il est fragile
Tout dépend de notre volonté 

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
Nous ne pouvons pas nous dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
 
"Je me tenais sur la falaise, regardant la mer.
Le ciel se reflétait sur les vagues 
Créant de nombreuses couleurs, entre le vert et le bleu
La beauté m'a envahi et sans m'en rendre compte
J'ai commencé à sourire"

No title.

Fifteen
For a minute
And it’s gone before you even realize you’re in it.
Summer bleacher summer cigarette
Waiting for a nothing thain’t happened yet

Then I was sixteen
Overnight 
And I floated through it all without oversight 
A year that ended with a tolling bell
Floating through the hallway of some Florida hotel

But where the stars are at the horizon
Where they melt into the sea
Where you find your forever finite
With decades still to be
Can you see
Can you see

Seventeen
for a moonlit hour
Seems like its sweet til it all turns sour
A year ended with me city bound
Always passing through and not around

But where the stars are at the horizon
Where they melt into the sea
Where you find your forever finite
With decades still to be
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see

I was eighteen…
For a leap year’s month
When you try to be her everything for everyone
And by nineteen…
It all evaporates
Quick as the steam inside a Chevrolet 

But where the stars at the horizon
Where they melt into the sea
Where you find your forever finite
With decades still to be
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see

The stars at the horizon
Where they melt into the sea
Where you find your forever finite
With decades still to be

Biography

The Failed States is a creative project based in an aged care facility in the leafy suburb of Wantirna, Melbourne Australia. 

Initially a recreational outlet, allowing residents to express themselves through music, poetry and sitting still, The Failed States has since taken on a life of it own. 

Anguished songs about other residents' grandchildren being too loud at the table tennis table, or jeremiads of lukewarm, semi-set puddings were gradually replaced by powerful pieces about climate change, urban decay, relationship breakdown and missing dentures.

There are no permanent members of The Failed States, we live on, as age, petty rivalries, and forgetfulness takes us all.

The Failed States tries to perform in the common room on the second Tuesday of every month, after lunch.

Freedumb!
