Shut the Door

[Intro]
Shut up!

Shut up!

They can hear you think.
Make it stop… or make it sink.

[Verse 1]
Every voice inside my head’s got a fucking name,
They line up, scream, and point the blame.
I taste tomorrow but it’s yesterday,
And I can’t tell which one will stay.I’m the sinner, the saint, the king, the prey,
The walls talk back in shades of gray.
Can’t find the truth, it keeps its grin,
Trapped in the war that I live in.

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear ‘em crawl inside my skull,
They pull the strings, I lose control.

[Chorus]
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
All these voices fight for the throne—
I’m never alone!
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
The world bends, breaks, and won’t let stay—
I fade away!

[Verse 2]
Faces melt, the sky bleeds deep,
Every lie hides something beneath.
Truth cuts deep but it still won’t show,
The stitches hold but the cracks still grow.
My pulse is gone but I still scream,
I lost the plot inside the dream.
Schizo saint or mental fraud—
I am every broken god.

[Pre-Chorus]
Pull the wires under my skin,
Wake me up—I’ll die again.

[Chorus]
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
All these voices fight for the throne—
I’m never alone!
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
Truth is a curse, a foul ballet—
I fade away!

[Breakdown]
You can’t cure what’s already burned!
You can’t teach what can’t return!
I am the preacher of the mind decayed,
The sermon screams God’s afraid!


“Wake me up!” – can’t sleep again!
“Shut me down!” – I count to ten!
“Turn it off!” – still I remain!
“Turn it off!” – remember my name!

[Final Chorus]
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
World’s just noise that won’t obey—
I fade away!
I’m fucking up reality—
And it’s fucking up me!
The truth dissolves, I’ll make it pay—
I fade away!

[Outro]
If they ask for me... tell them I’m all of them.


Every one.

Reality’s a Lie

Drive like jehu - 01 - here come the rome plows

As our fifth anniversary is approaching, we've promised to reignite the Upon.You Digital series to deliver you the goods as fresh as possible. From our hard drive to yours, here are four crisp cuts from Marcus Gehring, forming the Mansion EP, set to shake the foundations of a club near you. Mr. Gehring has been part of the Upon.You crew for a couple of years already, releasing a 12 last year, on top of his collaborations with fellow Amsterdam producer ONNO (for our two well received Diary compilations) as well as his remix for Gunnar Stiller. Although he's had a busy DJ schedule including a stop here in Berlin for our most recent label night at Watergate we haven't heard any new studio material from him this year. Till now! Kicking off with the seductive thump of It's a Mansion, the EP is already living up to it's name: this is not your average House it's prime real estate with enough room to get lost in, where dubbed out percussive elements float amongst the snappy, clear-cut beats. With 'Dark Side Of The Moon', Marcus creates a paranoid swing, soundtracking an assembly-line that dips fluffy popcorn into a metallized coating. Then, the mischievous 'Sneak Exit' comes in through the out door, offering some aqueous flair (and some reverse-reverb piano accents that noddingly bites a dusty #1 hit). Finally, Gehring takes 'A Step Into The Funk Room', hopping along to the murky bassline bounce as a ray of light permeates the purple stained glass for a euphoric ending. If tech-house is your passion, then this Mansion has plenty of space for an extended stay...
