det agiteres og det synges super flott i kor
og blir til kalde fakta på et udi-kontor
og pakketur med onkel politi på midtgangen
og statistikk som vi kan skryte av i dagsr'vyen

så mye mer enn deg det får eg ikkje ut av dét
det handler mer om kossn vi behandler tingene  
i oss og med den empatien som befinner seg 
i oss og til og med litt inni deg og inni meg

men du, vi lures til å rigge gamet inhumant
for, sant, for nåkken blir det faktisk virk'lighet iblant
fra frokostbordet uti kulden med et klippet pass
ti tusen kilometer fra et liv som gikk i dass

dette e liv som vi i kollektiv har kvant'fisert,
og så vurdert at de fortjener å bli refusert
og statistikksamvittigheten vår blir oppjustert
av nok en FN-studie der vil blir topplassert



ja jeg elsker det der landet
som det pleide stige frem
langt der borte over vannet
som eg alltid kaller hjem

elsker, elsker det og tenker
på min far og mor og bror
langt der hjemme senker natten
drømmer om mitt frokostbord




kom så synger vi litt inni ekkokammeret
om inkludering og litt om å hate mobbere
det er så få av oss her spredd utover fjord og fjell
at når du synger e det for deg sjøl mest likevel

du, ingen trenger å få vite helt kor hult det e
at internasjonalen best av alt kan skåles te,
du trenger ikkje se de like inni øynene
vi klubbet nettopp vekk de siste små problemene

tenk om vi skulle sett på hver en enkel enkeltsak
da måtte vi forholdt oss til alle de folka bak
da kunne vi jo ikkje vært så sinnsykt effektiv
de, konsekvensene, e dies, det e dies liv,

 - dies valg og dies avkall på en verdighet
vi kan'kje gi, vi kan'kje måles på anstendighet,
å herlighet, det e på grensen til naivitet
vi kan for faen ikkje måles på anstendighet.



ja jeg elsker det der landet
som det pleide stige frem
langt der borte over vannet
som eg alltid kaller hjem

elsker, elsker det og tenker
på min far og mor og bror
langt der hjemme senker natten
drømmer om mitt frokostbord

det der landet

Lyrics:

EASY GO
==========================
By vladimirdlc
With edits by agitat0r and twiggface
==========================

/* Verse 1 */

I catch kilos of coke off miami shore
I snatch a bald eagle from a gator's jaw
Then Florida Woman turn my jackpot sour,
Pushing my buttons, but she's good in the shower,

To be Florida Man sure as hell is taxing
The IRS come knocking when I'm high and relaxing
taxes, man, they get me hot and feral
collect'em from my shot gun barrel

/* Chorus */

Easy go, easy fly, 
that's the life of Florida Man
feel the flow, let it shine, 
come on now and hold my hand

Easy go, easy fly, 
that's the life of Florida Man
That's my life, man, it's my life, 
I don't think you would understand

/* Verse 2 */

hey kid, did i tell you when i met yo mom
i was kinda high and then broke in to her home
then i kinda woke up and a little later
i fed my family jewles to our pet alligator

for us i'm cookin chicken in some spicy wine
and season it with crack cocaine and vico-dine
and afterwards we'll do a game of naked twister
together with my ex and with her hottie sister

/* Chorus */

Pearl Jam - Release (tobiasn remix, work in progress)

Vocals by @tobiasn
Lyrics by Skerry1

Verse 1
Youre back again for more
Fill your sails with my confessions 
Leave me stranded on the shore

My friends say I'm a fool
And lately I hear ringing
From the bells upon my shoes

Chorus
I'll play my part
Heal your broken wing
Cut the bandage from my heart
And watch you fly and then
Leave me a new scar
Over and over and over again

Verse 2
I'm a sucker for the pain
Soak up your mixed up signals
A puppet hugging rain

Tie hope around my strings
Your midnight red wine kisses
That don't mean anything

Chorus
I'll play my part
Heal your broken wing
Cut the bandage from my heart
And watch you fly and then
Leave me a new scar
Over and over and over again

Verse 3
You chewed me to the bone
Devoured my obsessions
Til what I felt was gone

Now I'm just another guy
Who you'll say just used you up
You can paint me in that light

Chorus
I'll play my part
Heal my broken wing
Sew stitches in my heart
Watch me fly away and then
I can be your scar
Over and over and over again

The Long Dark - Game of Bands round 154

Submission to the Reddit's Game of Bands, Round 191: Solitude
Won best track, best music, and best lyrics.

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J0UAkRctkA

Music: /u/pdlourenco
Lyrics: /u/Glory2Hypnotoad
Vocals and production: /u/agitat0r (https://soundcloud.com/tobiasn)

Verse 1

Lights out
Not another soul for miles
Between the water and the trees
Under [these] endless, open skies

Out here in my seclusion
No noise, no light pollution
Staring out at the stars
So far but never closer
(never closer, no)
Than I’ve been right now

Chorus

So here I am stargazing
Eyes raised to the amazing
Cool wind and starlight gleaming
A deeper dream than [I’ve been] dreaming
(And yeah I am stargazing)

Verse 2

Back home
I remember pale white dots
Blending with the city lights
Nothing like this, barely bright

Out here in isolation
Alone among creation
Watching constellations drift
So far but so much closer
Than I have ever been


Chorus

Bridge

The explorer’s guiding light
The canvas where we paint our myths
A new frontier still unexplored
And so much more

Chorus

Stargazing

Thanks for stopping by! I've been making music ever since I discovered trackers back in the 90s. Occationally I sing. These days I mostly work in Ableton Live, making melodic electronic music, or mash up others' tunes.
