Senja Menutup Mata

Dalam lagu ini, The Trees Strip ingin menyampaikan perasaan penyesalan dalam mengambil keputusan. tenang, bimbang, gundah, keberhasilan ataupun kesenangan semu, hingga akhirnya marah akibat penyesalan pada tindakan awal merupakan emosi emosi yang tertuang dalam lagu ini.
Terinspirasi oleh Grigori Nelyubov yang mana seorang Cosmonauts rusia yang handal sehingga menjadi orang rusia pertama yang pergi ke luar angkasa. Namun sayangnya, ia memiliki hidup yang kurang baik sehingga terjermbaklah ia dalam alkohol karena depresi. hal tersebut merupakan AIB bagi Negara. sehingga semua sejarah mengenai kehebatan seorang Grigori Nelyubov dimusnahkan.
Lagu ini menjadi representasi perasaan seseorang dengan posisi layaknya "The Lost Cosmonauts" Grigori Nelyubov.

Nelyubov (Live recording on KSP Fair)

The journey of the traveller with the aim to conquer the highest mountain in the world continues as he finds himself facing two difficult options.
In the middle of his climb, he experiences various natural phenomenon that happens on the mountain and it makes the traveller’s trip full of challenges, anxiety, fear, eagerness and satisfaction.
Limited supply and time brings the traveller onto two options; whether the traveller has to choose to continue his trip to pursue his dream, discovering the beauty of nature and to get his own pleasure by risking his life to get all of it or to give up with the risk of deep regret that will be felt later.
Finally, with all of the dilemma to choose between those two, the traveller chooses to continue his journey even when his life is at stake to survive all of the circumstance tha happens. He believes that with such struggle and strong desire, we can get through everything that deter our way.
He struggles to survive in the middle of the highest mountain in the world for days. With all of his faith, the traveller keeps going on his trip where he realizes that each step he takes means a lot. He is just a few steps away from making his dream come true – to stand on the highest summit in the world.
The traveller shed a tear realizing that he’s now higher than the cloud yet so close to the sky. Then he kneels while feeling satisfied because he has reached the summit with a very dazzling view that nothing in this world could beat. He achieves his dreams, he finds himself and he gets the tranquility of life. He made it.
His tears of joy get deeper as he let out all of his load inside him by shouting to the sky above the highest summit.
The traveller closes his eyes and mumbles, “the world is only tiny piece of whole.”

Trip to Tibet

We Shout The Sky

The story of the wanderer has started. The highest yet mesmerizing territory wrapped by sorrowful stories become his journey’s destiny. Tibet’s condition has changed, from when the glory is still preceived by people until now, when disaster is more visible. Though it happens, the tradition that contained in their mores is still abided, their belief of the ancestor will never fade.
Tibet is a beautiful masterpiece made by the creator. There’s no need to widen your view to feel its peacefulness and to see its splendor, because with our eyes closed, both of them will come by themself with no force.
But everything is different after the red army came to change all things for the sake of group. Blood, tears and suffering is what the people of Tibet currently feel. Their anger cannot be freed and burried with hope because of the rules that is not on Tibet’s native occupant side. Their freedom is being hostaged. After the wanderer knows everything, he stay silent and feel what the people of Tibet had gone through. Not capable to do anything, the wanderer remain silent and try to continue his trip to get peacefulness that’s actually the opposite of the current condition of Tibet. The trip must go on. As he takes step by step, he wishes for miracle to happen later...

Tibet; 1959

The trip of a wanderer who wants to find his self by conquering mountain in Tibet. He takes every step slowly and carefully. Fear, anxiety, confusion and worry mingled and muffling himself since the beginning.
He sits for awhile to think deeply.
“should i continue or should i just stop?”
Of course, he cant get this conflict out of his mind and his heart; it gets stronger with time. It wont get away until he finally decides which decision will he choose.
For a moment he realizes that only bravery that can actualize his hope. Strong determination starts to get into the wanderer’s mind and heart. Little by little, his will and courage erode his worry and confusion.
“Okay, i need to get this dream to come true.”
“My wild expectation and ambition cant be tamed by anything.”
“... I’m not afraid and i won’t die in this place!”
The whisper of the wanderer’s conscience.

Then he continues his trip. Slowly and unhurried.
As he step, he becomes more invincible. He keeps on going forward.
“Nothing can stop me now. My spirit and determination wont fade away!”

Guts Will Take Your Hope

Greetings from the wanderer. Greetings from the universe. The chill starts to creep as the wind blows. The gate to the new chapter of our life is infront of us. Perhaps you won’t believe with what will we encounter after we pass through that gate. The wanderer stride his feet to guide us. Happiness, fear, joys and excessive curiousity mingled into a determination to start this journey. And so it begins!

And Underneath All of These Shrivings
