LYRICS:
Smiling now over there
Would you move it closer?
I’m too old for all this fuss
Ought to know much better

Roses are blue, violets too
Seeing red when I see you
With a dagger in my hand
Trace the smile lines higher

Will I be the fool?
Not this time, no
This time I’ll show you love
Send it right through your heart
Swing it some more
So why that frown now?

You’re bleeding now
Screaming out
Not too loud, hun
It’s late now


Nervous - Love

LYRICS:
Doesn’t matter how much I sleep
Doesn’t matter how much I try
Yet this feeling always comes by
And it doesn’t help me to get through

Strapping up my heart in place
        Don’t you think
Thinking hard, inert in the haze
        I would rather lay down by your side
        At a sideway glance
Turning fake
        See the four walls closing on me
It’s a much better way out for me
        But somehow I can’t 
Control it

“Lagu Angsa” (2016) adalah single pertama dari album self-titled Nerv.ous yang akan dirilis akhir Mei mendatang. Lagu berbahasa Indonesia mereka yang pertama ini diilhami oleh kejadian nyata 7 tahun silam. Seorang perempuan melompat dari lantai 5 sebuah pusat perbelanjaan besar di Jakarta, disusul seorang lelaki yang melompat dari lantai 5 di pusat perbelanjaan lain pada hari yang sama. Tubuh mereka hancur di antara gerai-gerai penjaja gaya hidup yang serba benderang dan nyaman. Dikabarkan, sang perempuan berada di ibukota untuk berobat atas penyakit kronisnya. Judul lagu ini diambil dari frasa “swan song,” ungkapan yang didasari mitos bahwa hewan angsa hanya mengeluarkan bunyi merdu saat menjelang ajal.

LIRIK:

T'lah meradang
Selalu hadir siratkan paradoks yang terulang
Sendu hati
Dan berangan kembali buat ragaku mati

Tersiratkan maksud yang t'lah berpendar
Janjiku kan teringkar
Kelak nanti
Kutinggal hidup ini dan semua mengerti

Ku datang ke kotamu
Bersama semua sakitku
Ketinggian 'kan merayu
Dan hancurkan semua

Tak akan aku dengar

Persetan pengobatan
Lebih baik ku hilang
Tubuhku berserakan
Hancur di lantai plaza

LYRICS:
You are the one who can be rough and soft
You are the one who’s pretty when I’m not
You are the one who squeals when I slide
You are the one, yeah, you’re the one
The only one who turns me on

Trapped in a cage with a ceiling
Flesh with no feeling
Passions within
Pent up and burning

When the world turns its back on me
Oh tenderly, I’ll play with myself and my guitar
My guitar
It’s me and my guitar
Me and my guitar 
For the ride of the long night

You are the one who can understand
How would you like me to touch you with my callused hands?
My thighs are cold
I’m losing hold
Say you’ll stay cause you’re mine
If you’re not real, nor am I
There’s no one else but us 

When the world turns its back on me
Oh tenderly, I’ll play with myself and my guitar
When I come, don’t set me free
I’d rather be doing it with my guitar
Beneath the sound that is my soul 
There’s not much more
Just me and my guitar
When the world turns its back on me
Oh tenderly, I’ll play with myself and my guitar

Life is just a long, long ride
