I don't wanna say hello
I don't wanna eat your fucking candies
No means no.

I don't wanna kiss your cheek
Because I hate you creepy harridan
No means no.

And I smile if I want to
Why the hell don't yall leave me alone ?!
No means no.

Take time to remember
How lonely you could have been
Feeling far from everyone
Lost in thi schoolyard

Take time to look back
And consider all the way
You could have walked alone
Now I walk with you

I don’t wanna play with you
I don’t give a shit you’ll tell your father
No means no.

I don’t wanna draw a flower
I prefer guns, blades, bullets, fire
No means no.

I am just not a good friend
Why the hell don’t yall leave me alone ?!
No means no !

Take time to remember
How lonely you could have been
Feeling far from everyone
Lost in thi schoolyard

Take time to look back
And consider all the way
You could have walked alone
Now I walk with you

Now I walk with you

Take time to remember
How lonely you could have been
Feeling far from everyone
Lost in thi schoolyard

Take time to look back
And consider all the way
You could have walked alone
Now I walk with you

No means No !

No Means No

When we met for the first time
After a call you opened the door
And above your so gentle smile
Your sad look caught my eyes

It was the night of my audition
I didn’t know you however
But I immediately saw
The clouds in your chest

It must be a betrayal
I know this pain
It must be a betrayal
I felt his pain

You know
You should let me come in your life
And let me come in your thoughts
To save you
From all those underground memories
Those underground memories

Time ran we became close
Sharing pieces of past
And I discovered a wounded man
Trying to move forward

You got all admiration
You got all my fascination
Since the only thing I’m fighting for
Is making you win

Hold on my lovely boy
We’ll fix it soon
Prepare to give your running start
And catch the moon

I’m here
For you to let me come in your life
And let me come in your heart
To save you
From all those underground memories
Those underground memories

Prepare
To give
Your running start
We'll catch
The moon
Oh, together

We'll catch the moon
I’m here
For you to let me come in your life
And let me come in your heart
To save you
From all those underground memories
Those underground memories

Underground Memories

Frightened (Golden Light)

One more time I can foretell the sequence
It seems my head likes to repeat the same game
When they laugh
They seem so far
And when they look at me
I feel glassy
I feel away
I've gotta run
gotta run
gotta run

I want to scream
I need to hide
I'm insecure
I disappear

Who's gonna come
And take me home
I need a hand
I turn to sand

Even in the crowd I feel all alone
It's like I am lost on a rocky island
Oh
I won't get used to this
Feeling hemmed in an empty space
How can it be so ironic
Why don't I ever feel right in my place ?

CHORUS

And then he came
Illuminating everything around
(Take me home)
Like an echo
He was the light I have been waiting for
(Take me home)
Shining like gold
He was my landmark in the cloudiness
With a soulmate
I wasn't frightened anymore

I was afraid and ill-at-ease
I pretended to be alive
He just appeared in front of me
One gaze sufficed

I was afraid
And ill-at-ease
I pretended
To be alive

He just appeared
One gaze sufficed
To breathe and to
Surface again

I was afraid
And ill-at-ease
I pretended
To be alive
One gaze sufficed

I do believe
In his aura
He's a golden light
A golden light

Lyrics : 

It seems your God gave you two legs
To run from your fears and reach your goals
Listen to me, don’t be thankful
Welcome, see the real world

I run, run, I’m out of breath
I feel like a horse trapped
In a mudslide !
I run, run, against myself,
I’ve never been told
That this race was called Life !

Can’t you see the cruelty of this sadistic joke ?
Wake up, you’re messed up
Give yourself a break

If I run way faster
Will I sleep someday ?
Someday
Will I sleep
Someday ?

I ran, ran, so many years
And I’ve never reached what
I was lusting for !
I rushed, ran after myself
I’ve never been able
To catch what I want !

Ok I see, don’t listen to me, fine
Don’t complain if you end
With the head in the sand

If I run way faster
Will I win someday ?
Someday
Will I win
Someday ?

I fell
Down
I fell
Down on the ground
( bis )

If I run way faster
Will I sleep ?
If I run
I die !

The Way I Am - Run Faster 2017 (With new singer)

Freshly signed on the Klonosphere label and distribued by Season of Mist, The Way I Am was born
from the meeting of the musical universe of J-War ( Composer, Multi-instrumentalist )
and Saturne ( Singer, Painter ).

Intense, hypersensitive and accesible, their compositions are a blend of British Rock
( Muse, Radiohead... ), American Alternative Metal ( Deftones, Korn, Flyleaf... )
and movie music ( Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner ).

The synergy between J-War's music and Saturne's graphics form a true mesmerizing mix.

Spring 2014 : the line up stabilizes with the arrival of Bravic ( Guitar ) and Kronick ( Bass ).
The band starts touring, putting the french scene on fire.

Quickly, from gigs to encounters, from radios to streaming services, everywhere the same statement :
The Way I Am is a ruling machine head !

The Way I Am is the strong, reliable and organised band you'll definitely hear from !

Fraîchement signé par le label Klonosphere et distribué par Season of Mist, The Way I Am est né
de la rencontre entre l’univers musical de J-War ( compositeur multi-instrumentiste )
et celui de Saturne ( chanteuse et peintre ).

Intenses, à fleur de peau et accessibles, leurs compos sont teintées d’influences anglaises ( Muse, Radiohead... ), américaines ( Deftones, Korn, Flyleaf... ) et de musiques de films
( Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner... ).

La synergie entre la musique de J-war et les créations graphiques de Saturne
forme un ensemble captivant.

Le groupe, définitivement stabilisé à l’arrivée de Bravic ( guitare ) et KronicK ( basse ) commence à écumer et enflammer les scènes françaises dès le printemps 2014.

Rapidement, de concerts en rencontres, de radios en plateformes d’écoute,
partout le constat est le même :
la machine The Way I Am est en marche !

The Way I Am est le groupe solide, fiable et organisé, avec lequel il faudra désormais compter !
