Come, let me guide you away from this all.
I still pray for this darkness to exit our room.
We will stay just a moment to make sure you're fine. 
Break the spell, let me walk you right into the woods.

So turn away,
let it all fade.
Run as far as you can. 

No one will say
it was the easy way out
or take your place. 

Push, nothing will ever come without pain.
Pull away, for love to be trapped in your soul. 
So alone, let it blister down into the past.
Just recall, split away from this moment in time. 

So turn away,
let it all fade.
Run as far as you can. 

No one will say
it was the easy way out
or take your place. 

Life is lost, and no memories prevail here no more.
Into the sea, both our lives have become so submerged.
What could have been, speak no more of whom I used to be.
Strike me down, this whole place was just too harsh for me. 

(So turn away.)


The Escape


Hunting for a shooting star
with a dubious wish. 
Praying for a drowning moon
to feed off your dreams.

But you never believed in love.
Never believed in love.
But you never believed in love. 

Searching for the missing link
to clear off some doubts.
Just had to figure out the truth
and finally rest. 

But you ignored all the signals.
You ignored all the signals.
Yeah, you ignored all the signals.

What are you like on the inside?
What are you like on the inside?
What are you like on the inside?

And you tried to be shameless
And you tried to be fearless.
And you tried to stay hopeful. 

But you never believed in love.
Never believed in love.
But you never believed in love. 

You ignored all the signals.
You ignored all the signals.
Yeah, you ignored all the signals. 

Unbeliever

Am I a special kind of freak
and will the sun not shine for me?
Have I overstayed my time
or is it different just for me?
A child of Venus or a bum
for life to shine on oh-so bright?
You thought I'm such a different kind.
And maybe I'm just having fun. 

Freak. 

Now take a moment
in isolation.
Look onto what
is in the future.
Keep on dancing,
move your body. 
Such a secret
congregation. 

Freak. 

So how about all those mistakes?
And what about its consequence?
Will the night come dark for us
or does the party feed off sin?
So, let's just put our knives away
and wait to celebrate the day. 
Am I a special kind of freak
or is it just too late?

Now take a moment
in isolation.
Look onto what
is in the future.
Keep on dancing,
move your body. 
Such a secret
congregation. 

Freak.

Is it just too late?

The Freak

You seem to have taken control
of the world around me.
Deep in, so falacious and flawed,
but you have taken hold of me.

You never liked feeling alone.
Never felt satisfied.
And next to you I feel alone
so I must leave you behind.

I thought my words had been so true.
It seems I cannot be trusted.
But you will always feel so fooled,
what's the difference anyway?

I can't just go back in time
and accept what my fate was.
So wrong, you've been hitting the floor
and then you float right above me. 

Take out this wrath on me.
You think you are so perfect.
Blame it on me today.
Go back and feel so lonely. 

You never liked feeling alone.
Never felt satisfied.
And next to you I feel alone
so I must leave you behind.

I thought my words had been so true.
It seems I cannot be trusted.
But you will always feel so fooled,
what's the difference anyway?

Guilty

I am feeling sensitive tonight.
Will you come along and help me make big plans?
They are all here to see us both tonight.
Let's turn over all that's holding us back. 

Push me back then.
Spare my feelings.
Put me away.
Break my heart then.
Don't deceive me.
Break away. 

We are getting closer to a fault.
Never knowing if the future will behold
what I thought was supposed to be loved. 
Let's just go on and follow the storm. 

Push me back then.
Spare my feelings.
Put me away.
Break my heart then.
Don't deceive me.
Break away. 

Break Away

("The past foreshadows the present
and the present hasn't been written yet.")

Boredom is loneliness
and emptiness.
Your shadows is glowing
as you think aloud
and dive below 
the sea of pain.
(The vaccum will haunt you)
when joy is lost.
With no control.
Get swallowed whole.
Belief will revive you.
So turn around,
grab my hand,
settle down.
(A vaccum persists) 

Angels coming to rise you above.
They are coming to take you away.
(Away into space, away into space)

I will keep you so close to my heart.
I'll remind you of just who you are.
(So just hold your way, just hold your way)

Numbness comes.
You hold on tight
and feel so scared. 
You're drowning in panic
as the lights go off.
You drift away.
No choice but play. 
(The vaccum dissolves you)
So break it down.
Just use the door
to the other side,
where wisdom is hiding. 
You hold the key
with your golden soul
and eternal fate.
(A vaccum persists)

Angels coming to rise you above.
They are coming to take you away.
(Away into space, away into space)

I will keep you so close to my heart.
I'll remind you of just who you are.
(So just hold your way, just hold your way)

("Anytime, when less is more.
When too much is never enough.
There is always hope for the future. 
The future can't be written from the past.
The past foreshadows the present.
And the present hasn't been written yet.")

Angels coming to rise you above.
They are coming to take you away.
(Away into space, away into space)

I will keep you so close to my heart.
I'll remind you of just who you are.
(So just hold your way, just hold your way)

The Vaccum

(Hold me down, take me away)

The night is shining and I'm getting near.
The wind is preaching for me. 

These flowers blooming and it's time to reap.
The sun is warming for them. 

A kiss of cold rain for our lips to meet.
The seasons passing in me.

The Earth keeps going on its cosmic trail
while bright stars shine for those who fear. 


So I would never deny you at all
'cause I've been waiting for far too long.
And then I'll show you a way to know
what the future holds.

A little instant to face the snow.
A sacred temple. A secret show. 
So now's the moment to let you know.
This is how we're born. 

The moon gets lit up as our voices sing
and Saturn's no longer here.

We took an oath in our own secret cave
as wind and fire led the way. 

Just risk both our souls in the name of love. 
Let heaven fall from up above.

From now on silence has become the law
and you will never be alone. 

(Hold me down, take me away)

So I would never deny you at all
'cause I've been waiting for far too long.
And then I'll show you a way to know
what the future holds.

A little instant to face the snow.
A sacred temple. A secret show. 
So now's the moment to let you know.
This is how we're born. 

(Hold me down, take me away)

Initiation

I came down to get you,
to spoil and then break you. 
I'll strip and expose you.
I came down to get you high.

I'll learn how to love you
but I'll disappoint you. 
I'll share my fun with you.
I came down to get you high. 

I came down to get you high. 

Been waiting just for you.
Your mom should have warned you
about my behavior.
I came down to get you high. 

I'll take what I want to. 
I'll search and then find you.
So, why did I come down?
I came down to get you high. 

I came down to get you high. 

I Came Down To Get You High

I swear that I would,
if I could,
be truthful enough.

To say what I mean.
Tell myself
that you still remember.

The time that we spent,
all those years, 
fading now and forever.

A feeling of loss,
lust to dust,
and a pledge to stay silent. 

Those times you would pray
for my guilt
to make me surrender. 

A heart in decay.
Innocent.
In a sense just too pretty. 

A sudden collapse
came to pass.
Coincidence happened.

A hunger was fed
and you're the prey
just for this moment.

Could you believe me?
I thought I'd let you know.
So, you're an angel?
I'll chase you like a ghost. 

Just please release me.
Been here for far too long.
Will you forgive me?
Sometimes I can't let go. 

Incredulous

Been struggling for control,
but soon you'll let it go. 
Been reigning far too long,
tonight's the end. 

While stumbling you will see
my heaven's meant to be.
Don't ask me to believe
while my heart bleeds. 

I feel the universe right above the sky. 
Just hold me. 
Take me back home. 
And I try too hard to lift my feet from the ground,
but there's nothing 
left for my soul. 

You feed us all your lies. 
You tied us to your vice.
No virtue kept in mind.
Tonight you'll burn. 

Let's cut our rulers' heads. 
Let's kill this zombie dead.
Let's wake up from disgrace.
Let hope prevail. 

I feel the universe right above the sky. 
Just hold me. 
Take me back home. 
And I try too hard to lift my feet from the ground,
but there's nothing 
left for my soul. 

Nothing Left For My Soul

Like a daughter of demons you move, 
those who stare at you turn to stone.
Don't be afraid, just come and play at the gate of the underworld. 
Stop being scared, it's okay, let adrenalin rule you.

Don't let the knight cut the head of wisdom.
You are my girl. 
Don't let the stars steal away our sunshine.
Your name, Medusa.

How could you be the enemy of death?
Dreaded, headless, scented by beauty. 
Beneath the sand, obscured the sunset, high on terrible jealousy. 
Stop crying now, it's okay, let adrenalin ruin you. 

Don't let the knight cut the head of wisdom.
You are my girl. 
Don't let the stars steal away our sunshine.
Your name, Medusa.
Stop talking now 'cause the game's not over.
Call me baby.
Turn off the lights, now we're going under.
Don't stare, Medusa.

Medusa

I knew that you were smiling,
you thought you'd heard me laughing it out. 
I bet that you would like it,
you always seemed like the kind. 

But I guess I misread the signals,
you know how I always miss out.
You craved what the night would offer,
just like before.

Take your time, I'll be waiting here, 
so drop out your fear.
And as the night gives way, hold your head high,
I'm here.
Don't waste our time, this is all for you, 
have no fear.
Don't leave your hope at the door, 
just wait here with me. 

You knew that I would offer,
still your answer seemed so played out.
With no concern for heaven,
you always thought you could cheat your way in. 

And as the day brings about new order,
with regrets that almost make it worthwhile.
Take a look into the water,
once again. 

Take your time, I'll be waiting here, 
so drop out your fear.
And as the night gives way, hold your head high,
I'm here.
Don't waste our time, this is all for you, 
have no fear.
Don't leave your hope at the door, 
just wait here with me. 

Words and lyrics by Esteban Muirragui

The Dawn

You came and you said hello,
it was your fantasy.
A serpent told you your name,
asked to be paid for it.

And since you are feeling so strange,
you need some company,
To let those memories fade,
you'll always be prey.

More meets the eye.
Take another hit, 
more than you can take.
I know you want to stay. 

You never feared those ways,
you always held the key.
And as you opened the door,
she fell in extacy. 

Just had to hear you say,
you'l never love me. 
And now the end is near,
you can be done with it. 

More meets the eye.
Take another hit, 
more than you can take.
I know you want to stay. 

More Meets the Eye

Take me down with you.
Take me down.
Take me down with you.
Take me down. 

As you traveled around the whole globe,
this whole attitude was for you.
You would flutter around in a pond,
I felt you so far away. 

Just imagine how ugly things were,
as you played a stranger around me.
You would probably never forget,
how it was supposed to be.

Take me down with you.
Take me down.
Take me down with you.
Take me down. 

Take a picture, you don't have to stare,
I will always remain a monster.
Blow your candles, it's time to forget,
those times you were left alone. 

Sick and tired of zombified drones.
Sore and wasted, now you have to prove,
how pathetic, the weather gets worse.
Tonight you won't feel so bored. 

Take me down with you.
Take me down.
Take me down with you.
Take me down.

Take Me Down

You had a way with words. 
You knew that I would just depart.
I feel like you don't know yourself, anymore. 

And you can blame yourself.
A constant thought repeats in my head,
it's like a never ending dream about you.

And I wonder how it feels, 
in that loneliness you can't deny. 
I knew your love would be like this,
it makes me wonder if I'm still alive. 

A silent attitude,
you never told us how you felt. 
You always liked it so reserved and quiet.

Something to never be missed.
I let the memories prevail.
And now the story tells itself, you're away. 

And I wonder how it feels, 
in that loneliness you can't deny. 
I knew your love would be like this,
it makes me wonder if I'm still alive.

The Wonder

I felt a little bummed out, 
I guess you always leave room for some doubt.
You wanted me to give in, 
But then you told me that you would never live. 

Take more from me, 
give up your grudge,
I'll let you breathe in for more,
it's time to come. 

Speak out, dream me,
don't go, baby. 
So curious.
Dissolve, right here.
Just fly. 

Give it all up for love.
It's the only chance we've got.
Don't live your life alone,
I'm right here for you.

So take what you deserve, 
Just let your loneliness be gone.
It's the last chance that we've got,
I'm talking to you.

No reason to be afraid,
remember all that the wise man used to say.
This is the time to let go.
Because tonight you may need a little hope.

Break free right now,
burn the bridge that together,
we built, we'll live,
Just open your eyes.

These words for you,
To hear tonight, 
We are siblings. 
I feel you pain,
you're free.

I'm talking to you. 
Give it all up for love.
Give it all up.
Give it all up for love.
I'm right here for you.
So take what you deserve.
Just take what you deserve.
Give it all up.
I'm talking to you. 


The Chance

Said I, can you please just set the pace,
'cause I thought I could make you stay.
What lie, just shake this all away.
Just a lie your wanted me to say. 

When all the shadows in your room
cannot provide a place to hide,
I sense and ending in your eyes
that you will never understand.

Will you let me see?
Could you let me feel?
Now set me free, just let me go.
I wonder if you could let me be.
Just let me be. 

Guess I had it all wrong from the start
and you just had to have a plan. 
So cruel that I am now like you
and you don't even have a clue.

And the place in which you dwell
a place I visit in my dreams.
I sense corruption in your eyes
and that's precisely what I like.

Will you let me see?
Could you let me feel?
Now set me free, just let me go.
I wonder if you could let me be.

It seems I'm just a thing
for you, just for you.
I am not free, I long to be
Away from all this.

Away from you.
Away from here.
Away from him.
Away from me. 


Away From Me

You are what I need tonight,
for all my deviant cravings to be satisfied.
You are right here with my friends,
an overwhelming presence of mutual intelligence.

Then I know that everybody knows that
I am here for I love you. And
my eyes go down in decay,
I'm taken away by the vivid signal
of sounds turning into light. 

My love, hold on to my hands,
I'll take you to the places where colors glow intense.
Come close, sing into my ears.
Release me from all my trouble,
relieve me from all fear.

Then I know that everybody knows that
I am here for I love you and
My eyes go down in decay,
I'm taken away by the vivid signal
Of sounds turning into light. 

You are what I need tonight. 
You are what I need tonight. 
You are what I need tonight. 
You are what I need tonight.

Sounds Turning Into Light

For far too long has electronic music gone down a path where its human aspect  remains hidden behind layers of electro-noise and mathematical beats driven by impersonal DJs who seem to fabricate an atmosphere while adding very little from their own personalities. What happened to the emotional and personal variables which once made music relevant to our culture? 

Tortured by Midi is all about humanizing electronic music, and making it a faithful portrait of our nature, while maintaining its electronic orientation in terms of the ample expressive possibilities that its realm offers. While making use of synthesizers, drum machines and different electronic tools, Tortured by Midi also maintains human elements as clean vocals, and expressive guitars which add up to a deep and personal experience. By rescuing elements of rock, pop and dance music, Tortured by Midi aims to create an honest, festive and straight forward proposal to glorify our human souls.
