Lyrics:


Let me fall apart
From a broken heart
Let me drown inside
All the tears I’ve cried

Heal my whispering voice
Braking through this noise
Let me try to hide
Behind the fading smile

Let me turn my sins
And the childhood dreams 
All the time and pain
Into the hardest chain

Let me fall apart
Let the broken heart
Let it stop and sigh
Let it rot and die

Let Me

Lyrics:

I can’t hear you but I know you’re there
Faces hiding from an old despair
I know you would like to know
How to learn to let it go

And you tumble, while you crumble
On the floor that isn’t there
And you fight back, on your own like
A little child that doesn’t care

Turn the pages of an open book
Rip the chapters would you like to look
For the things you’d like to know
How to learn to let it go

And you tumble, while you crumble
On the floor that isn’t there
And you fight back, on your own like
A little child

Let It Go

Lyrics:

You hear that I’ve been trying, to find my way
Although it still reminds me, I couldn’t stay
Don’t have to look for nothing, to pass my day
It always seems like something, I have to say

I don’t know if I am hiding
From the things that make me cold
It’s been so long and now it’s over
At least that’s what I have been told

Don’t try so hard to prove me, ‘cos you can’t see
The frames that you are building, they’re not for me


Make Me Cold

Lyrics:

I have been waiting long for this love to arrive
I have been drowning and breaking from nine till five
But it's all right now, you are as real as it gets
I hope I don't wake up with stone cold sweats

We can live in the city, fly all over the world
New York to Beijing, it’s you and me as it should
It’s all right it’s all fine it’s all real, take my hand now honey. 
So let’s make it happen, let’s make it so
Drive into the wild, dive into the unknown
It’s all right it’s all fine it’s all real, take my hand now honey.

Where have you been hiding out all these years
What have you done who has seen your tears
Hey, it's all right now babe it's hot and sunny
Hey, it's all right now, I am here for you honey

We have only met some months ago
That was enough to make me know
I love you baby, you’re the one for me
I am sorry it took me this long to show
To say what I feel and let you know
I want you forever don’t you ever leave


It's Alright Now

Lyrics:

You said that you are traveling alone
I saw a picture hangs on the wall
You smiled and told me what do you know
There’s no such thing as truth no one to own
 
I know you wanna be patient and kind
I know that sometimes you wanna to be blind
I know you wanna be faithful but you draw the line
Yeah you draw the line
 
You cried and held your heart in your hand
I heard the thoughts that ran in your head
Go now, and don’t look back at the past
Don’t lock the door before you hear me say
 
I know you wanna be patient and kind
I know that sometimes you wanna to be blind
I know you wanna be faithful but you draw the line
Yeah you draw the line


Draw The Line

Lyrics:

I hear when you’re whispering
I see when you’re moving
I feel when you’re touching me
I want you to haunt me
To tell me that you need me
To cry if I cause you pain

I don’t want you to know,
I won’t let these feelings grow
Until I’m free

I’ll hold you in my arms
I’ll watch you with my eyes
I’ll be who you want me to be
I will smile when I’m with you
I will say that I want you
And I’ll try to pretend that I do

I don’t want you to know,
I don't want these feelings to show
Until I’m free

Until I'm Free

Zabukowski writes about '57 Guns:

This is a very special song to me – it contains many specific musical elements and it was a real challenge & fun to make. I think it is worth to write down a few interesting facts about it :)

The song is a combination of my authentic work and some elements/variations of the old Macedonian traditional folk song 'Jovano Jovanke'. A well known adaptation of this traditional song comes from the legendary Macedonian guitar guru Vlatko Stefanovski and his band 'Leb i Sol'. Being a huge fan of Vlatko and his work for as long as I remember, it is no surprise that '57 Guns in many parts feels very inspired & influenced by him. At least I hope so :)

You'll immediately notice the unusual 7/8 time signature, which makes the song not only more demanding to play (just ask my drummer, he really did a great job on this one in the studio), but also more attractive and interesting to listen to.

I played all guitars and a bass guitar in my living room ... no kidding !!! How is this possible, some of you may ask? Well, for all guitar work, the excellent Scuffham Amps S-Gear guitar amp simulator plug-in was used. Furthermore, the challenging task was to use only one amp for all duties. As the latest S-Gear v2.4 release contains the brand new Custom '57, it was a logical choice to use it.

As you can hear, the amp was pushed to its limits, covering all kind of stuff with the excellence: clean, crunch, overdrive & heavy. Only factory presets were used with some minor tweaking. Definitively, a small amp with a BIG soul, very dynamic & musical ... uh, I like things being musical =:)

Additionally, Electro Harmonix Q-Tron+ envelope filter pedal was used on some minor parts and Ignite Amps TS-999 overdrive plug-in was used with some 'heavy' solos.  The song was recorded/mixed/mastered with Cubase 7.5/Nuendo 6.5 using a bunch of plug-ins – I won't go further into the details, because it would be beyond the scope of this information.

The following guitars were used:
- G&L S-500 strat (G&L MFD single coils) for clean/crunch parts
  - Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 20th Anniversary Edition (humbuckers) for hard & heavy parts/solos  
- G&L L-2500 custom shop bass

Drums recorded in studio "Garbage", Ljubljana – studio technician: Drago Popovič 
Drummer: Boštjan Vajs 
Mix/Master: me & myself :)

Enjoy listening to this one, I really hope you'll like it :)

Lyrics:
You think you know, I say you don’t
You told me where to go, you told me where to be
Ask me to trust you, although I won’t 
You look so pretty but your heart’s a stone

You won’t fool me, oh no you won’t
I can see through you babe, I guess you don’t 
I’ll come around, but that’s a lie
You’ll try to push me, I know why

It’s getting late, it’s time to go
The chance is gonna come, it’s right behind the door
Hoping for something, to change my mind
But I don’t care and I’m not blind

You’re getting anxious, and tired of all
These things that you’ve been told I hope you know
I don’t believe you, I don’t recall
Been down this road before, I know why

But you don’t know me, but I know you
It’s just a game we play, until we’re through
I will convince you, I’m not the one
I will be gone by now, I know why

I Know Why
