Et Pourtant

Un sourire, appel au compromis
Bien qu'odieux c'est la belle qui s'en omit,
Fille des fables et hommes d'émoi,
Tous en déboires en leur ébats+

Si bas d'estime aux égards des unes
On s'égare dans l'infime au regard des urnes
Et arrache nos rêves à leur socle idylle
En confins confiné de pensées serviles+

Et quand bien tous meurent, plus se trompent,
Pour preuve en torpeur, toutes audaces s'estompent,
C'est la vie qu'embouti la peur du beau,
Quand empathie et raison viennent à faire défauts+

Tumultueuse errance que l'incertitude,
L'angoissante liberté des sentiments,
Qu'engendre à beaucoup turpitude,
Laissant le reste s'accabler de mille tourments+

-
Et pourtant tous meurent,
A le savoir ne déraisonnent,
Aucun enfants qui des frayeurs,
Si facilement frissonnent.
Et pourtant tous meurent,
Quelques outils de dérision,
Aident l'homme en sa peur,
Lui pleure sa condition+
---...
Et pourtant tous crèvent,
Quelques outils de dérision,
Aident l'homme mais lui préfère,
Pleurer sa condition+
-
Mille états d'âmes qu'en faire?
Quand l'enfer c'est soi,
S'en faire pourquoi, ma foi, l'envers,
Du masque c'est moi+

D'un astre en noyade au crépuscule,
A l'aurorale dorure d'un mont d'orient,
Aux danses des feuilles qu'un vent bouscule,
Les beautés n'abondent qu'aux esprits béants+
-
Et pourtant tous meurent,
Et le savoir ne solutionne,
L'écho accru des faux malheurs,
Qui dans les coeurs résonnent.
Et pourtant tous meurent,
Âcre conscient qu'adoucit,
L'orgueil trouble et menteur,
Qui d'ostentation sévit,
---...
Qui d'ostentation surgit
---...
D'un délabrement naquit
---...
Vie dispensable maquis+

A Chapter to an End

Verse 1:

You were prepared,
Your head in the sand,
Still you'd prefered,
A chapter to and end.

Chorus :

But It's here,
And you better embrace it,
The short time,
Before getting trough the exit.
And you'd rather,
Have a chapter
To an end,
No extends,
Nothing after,
Being bitter doesn't matter.
Don't admit,
Just embrace it.
---


Verse 2:

Your faith is still,
Inside your god
But your fear is real
Coz god is not...
So fear your time,
Your anxious nature,
Poorly sublimed,
Seeks for torture

Chorus :

But It's here,
And you better embrace it,
The short time,
Before getting trough the exit.
And you'd rather,
Have a chapter
To an end,
No extends,
Nothing after,
Being bitter doesn't matter
Don't admit,
Just embrace it.
---

Verse 3 :

You've had your share,
Don't go out,
Thinking life is unfair,
Justice smilles at believers,
So don't be dumb as you leave us
cresc:
Your breath is now leaving,
Your lips are now shaking,
Your brain is now swimming,
Your heart is now swinging

Chorus :

So It's here,
You're now facing the exit,
Can you feel,
Calm and slow don't you love it?.
And you rather,
Had a chapter
To an end,
To attend,
Afterlife to ascend
Nothing after,
We die covered
Empty smile flowered,
Lifelong tone unanswered.

So embrace it,
Don't you love it?
The end to the chapter
Of your exit.

BPM : 71

Verse 1

Here the past
Smells like ashes
Pages from the outcast
In books have vanished

The stones don't talk
The trees forget,
And man speaks words
Not worth being said.

And you might be the one,
Yeah you might be the one
One of the ones that no ones understands,
01’09’’
Yeah you might be this one,
The one who wants to be once,
The one that wasn't one of the once no ones.

Yet time passes by,
Now can you hear it,
It makes sense seems futile
Once you fear it.
But still, while you cry,
Let me clear it

Chorus :
Tough luck,
The time fucked you up,
Your dreams, your hopes,
Found no back up
So genius cry,
Your lamp is lost,
Here Jesus died,
No man has found the cross
All memories to dust,

Verse 2 :

Be Nieztsche,
Another lonely wolf,
Don't preach,
Leather boots leads to Adolphs,

And the rest, maybe best,
History's better side,
Eternity put to rest,

Chorus :

Tough luck,
The time fucked you up,
Your dreams, your hopes,
Found no back up
So genius cry,
Your lamp is lost,
Here Jesus died,
-but-No man has found the cross
All memories to dust,
We share, we care,
Once written by the wisest,
Seesed to be fair
So cry away your fear,
Not being remembered,
And feel each of your tears,
Vanity tempered.

The one sided tale of a psychotic lover and her wish to meet her lover in sleep and death. A narcotic version of Romeo & Juliette. 

One of the 3 songs made in real life and recorded in studio together.

Sleeping Frenzy / Rêve :
---

Spaces in the night
Fill denial
Each ignite
Shattering exiles

I see you there,
Eyelid sealed,
'Arms in the air,'
Sleepwalking,
My way

It's a wish preview,
A glimpse of free
I dreamed of you,
Dreaming of me

Once awake,
As we vanish,
Our fairy intake,
Has just perished

Now we leave,
Both our bed
Relieved to believe,
But wake up so upset
And your life passes by,
You don't seem too upset of that much wasted time,
And your mind trashes mine,

I'll forget all regrets and go on writing rhymes

Rhyming of you,
Dreaming of me,
Loving anew,
Sleeping frenzy,
Crazy pursuit,
Not to be free,
Poisonous fruit,
Forever sleepy,
An end in a suit,
In a coffin maybe,
Have no need for a cure,
I've gone mad already,
I just want to be sure,
You'll be dreaming of me,
Dreaming of you dreaming of me
I'vee no need for a cure
I'm as fine as crazy
I'll finally be free'd,
From this sleeping frenzy
I just want to be sure
You'll be dreaming of me
"Ton sommeil, mon amour"
I'd be dead but happy

144 BPM | SKY'S EYES

INTRO:

I open my eyes,
And feel so light,
Somehow not surprised,
All appearing so bright.

Chorus :

I'm as good as dead,
As I was once alive,
Perhaps slightly ahead,
My whole mind as revived.

I'm as good as dead,
As I would by sunrise,
Even, better instead,
Is see now from the sky's eyes

Verse:

1'01'': I see the world passing by
Underneath my eyes
I'm the sky, and to me,
Gravity laws no longer applies

Flying by some people on the ground,
Never felt more alive,
Waving greetings all around
None of them seems to reply

I'm flying by a river,
It's such a lovely feeling,
Once right over,
I saw my body missing
But couldn't believe it,
I'd rather though instead,
A dreaming lonely spirit,
But I guess -- I'm dead
No regrets right here,
I don't feel my fear,
I'm aware that I'm dead,
And I'm happy I am,
Cause life had me misled
In believing,
Almost kneeling,
3'04''
For anything,
To have any meaning.

Chorus :
I'm as good as dead,
As I was once alive,
Perhaps slightly ahead,
My whole mind as revived.

I'm as good as dead,
As I would by sunrise,
Even, better instead,
Is see now from the sky's eyes

Now I'm the sky and I'm free
From it's eyes, from it's lies,
From the sides, from the glides.

I'm as good as dead,
As I was once alive,
Perhaps slightly ahead,
My whole mind as revived.

I'm as good as dead,
As I would by sunrise,
Even, better instead,
Is see now from the sky's eyes

Pia to Forte                    
Tempo : 80 Bpm
In confort I'm bored,
To repeal it I bring-,
-In a major discord,
When I sing-
-In this minor chord. (repeat)
And I might switch, In a bit,
From upset to happy,
Higher pitch, 
To befit,
Your preset to beauty.

Hear me now,
See the smiles now instead,
Hear me now, 
Easy to get in your head,
Is it not,
No matter what I just said,
Hear me now,
Ho god I think I misread,
Hear me out
These lyrics have you misled
"I'll be Pia-It-seems-on- 
-Forte glissando,
My pia-ni-ssi-mo,
Seeks heavy Crescendo,
I'll be Pia,
It seems,
An outlaw,
In themes,
A major melody,
On a minor mind, 

And I think I lost it,
Singing this line,
The composer’s crossed it,
So I'll decline,
Smilling back again,
In tune and insane
I'm swinging in vain,
Singing in pain,
From Pia to forte,
From depth to cliché,
Beatrice to Dante,
From dismiss to display.

And I might be lost,
Yet hear me now,
I might pay the cost,
Yet hear me now,
Eloquence was here,
All along,
Beyond the sound it appeared,
Growing strong,
Hear it now,
On the drums,
Hear it now,
On the horns,
Hear it now,
In my voice
Know it now,
It's a choice

So let me end,
On beauty restored,
Yet also to offend,
With this minor discord.

Head's away
133 BPM

1
The ground withdrawn
My head's away,
When my mind is gone
My body plays


2
When my mind is gone
My feelings aside
That sweet taste left is a
A lie
My senses lives
A lie

3
Curious case
Of nothingness
The bassline curves
In emptiness
My mind is struggling for sanity
As vanity
Prices reality

4
No trip for remedy
Mine sells down the streets
I got the recepy
To be swept off my feets
to live this life,
And die,
And dive,
My innocence's alive,
My inner-self's a lie,
,

The ground withdrawn
My head's away,
When my mind is gone
My body plays

When my head's away
I head away,
When my head's away,
So far,
By the stars

Head's Away Ft A. Barry

ENG : Born in New Zealand (2005), The8thstep, Alias for Belgian composer/songwriter/producer (Derenne Stélian) started with purely electronic ambitions and evolved with the love of classical orchestrations related to technological capabilities and bastardized by years of abusive musical introspection.

FR : The8thstep, monté en 2005 en Nouvelle Zélande, alias pour auteur-compositeur Derenne Stélian.
Dans une fibre proche de celle d'artistes comme Massive Attack, Rob Dougan, Saltillo... Le projet a pour but d'emprunter aux modernes et anciens procédés de compositions leur particularité avec comme première ambition d'envouter son auditeur par des sons prenants, des mélodies singulières et des textes réfléchis.
