ELY BUENDIA - MAKEOUT PARADISE

Pain Shouldn't Hurt

Written, Arranged and Performed by -The Room 8X Project
Words and Music- M. Abundo, E. Inting, R. Rull

Lyrics

Im gonna kill someone to gain
a piece of your mind, turn me on
Im gonna climb up on the stairs
Yeah...

Behind the bush I lit a fire
A glimpse of light amongst the blind
A castaway trapped in your mind
Give me...

Little distance of space and time
is a mountain I cannot climb

Traverse inside  my dreams and fly
with broken wings,just make sure it's dry
Just wake me up if it hurts inside
I love you

Going back to that empty street
where you shook my heart and said
Makeup your mind or go to sleep
Give me...

Little distance of space and time
is a mountain I cannot climb
Reach out and touch me
Reach out and pull me love
Be real to me
Please do not wake me up

Little Distance

Delecacia Blanca - The Only Times We Meet Is When I Dream Of Us Together

With the lyrics based on the first law of thermodynamics which is the conservation of energy, this slow, deteriorating song attempts to bring the listener to step way back and see the large picture.

Was here but not anymore. 
Still here but not in a state that's familiar. 
Small parts make up a whole. 
Tiny parts make up something that's greater. 

Whole once but now in pieces. 
Was always here just in a different sequence. 
Rearranging does not make it less. 
Make it matter. The universe couldn't care less. 

I'll always be with you, 
I'm always a part of you. 
We're stuck with the same glue. 
We don't even have a clue. 
You'll always be with me. 
It was always meant to be. 
We're nothing but energy, 
bits of the galaxy.

Dismantled

Hango sa pakiramdam ng ayaw umuwi noong bata pa ako dahil gusto ko pang maglaro at ayaw ko lang talaga sa mga tao sa bahay ko.

lyrics
Doon ang aking libing 
sa kabilang panig. 
Naghihintay sa akin 
ang ayokong marinig. 
Ayoko pang umuwi. 
Ipagpaliban natin. 
Kunyari'y 'di 'ko sawi. 
Kunyari'y dito 
ang aking kanlungan. 
Ang tadhana ay ipagpaliban. 
Ng isa pa ako ay pagbigyan.

"Sariling Mundo" is a Tagalog phrase that roughly translates to "one's own world".

This chill-out, ambient track attempts to capture the mood of living in one's own little world... and escaping it. Escaping a world where you have very little in common with your roots. A world where what you thought gave you identity was actually forcing you to be something you're not.

Sariling Mundo

Time was here when it all was still young,
when the world has just begun,
when life learned how to eat off the rays of the sun.

Time is gonna run out on you.
Time's not gonna wait.
Time decides your fate.

Time makes everything new,
balances the askew,
weighs down on everything until it cannot do.
 
Time sees if all is in place,
will keep on even if you're late,
won't wait for anything,
will leave all in its wake.

Time washes everything away.
Nothing lasts for long.
There's no right or wrong in the end.

Time

It feels like something's 'bout to crush me.
I don't know where it's coming from.
I feel it building inside me.
It's not gonna leave me alone.

This anxiety is killing me.

On my chest it weighs down always, forever.
As soon as I forget, I remember.

It feels like something's catching up with me.
I just know that it's gonna come.
I know that there's no escape for me.
It's been there for as long as I've known.

This reality is killing me.

I am up to my neck.
'tired of this thing on my back.
It's all up in my veins.
'trying hard to keep on track.
Racing thoughts in my head.
Cannot help but think that
it's an omen. it's a sign, it's a warning: caveat.

Libera te me.

Three consciousnesses with three different backgrounds who never met each other, never in the same room together. Intertwined by their passion for the song, brought right beside each other by the escape. Engaged by the mechanism of the experience of creation, controlled by tide that does not come from them, but flows through them.
