The Maze

LYRICS:
You don't wanna give up to your conscience
You don't wanna get up till the sunrise
You don't wanna rollout in a moment
You just wanna moving clockwise

Time is elusive. It proceeds swiftly in a straight line, always forward and without waiting for us. Being on this continuous and unstoppable path, leads us to ask ourselves many questions about the present and the future. But as far as we go forward, everything, meant as what shapes all things, is also a cyclical trajectory. It returns, never the same as before but always ready to come back to itself. Just as the hands of the clock move swirling towards their origin and then overtake it again and go beyond it countless times. Life too proceeds inexorably forward and in a circle, retracing each step and acquiring new form.
After all, you just wanna moving clockwise.

Moving Clockwise

Ghostly Noise

Lyrics: 
A fresh dawn
Casts a shadow of a doubt
A black cone
Subtle splendor in your eyes
You get to know you don't wanna play a part
You get to know you don't wanna play this part

Swept away by a know voice in a call
Drifted away from a lonely distant shore
Stabilized in a movement hard to stop
Far away from a place you barely know

Grain of Sand (Original Mix)

UK Garage beat combined with layers of synths and percussive bass line. Upon all this, melodic vocals which embrace the whole track.

This new track comes out after a dark winter, hitting like a punch on your face, redefining concepts right on time before they break apart. Put your headphones, press play, dance and sing it out loud.
It might be hard to realize, but there’s no need to tell a lie in this story. Just hold on and beat around the bush.

Lyrics:
It holds and distracts
Refresh it’s hard to realize 
You owe one a spite
You lash and beat around the bush

How to realize? How to realize it’s dawning?
Do you redefine? Do you redefine before you break apart?

How to tell a lie? How to tell a lie in a story?
Are you re-aligned? Are you re-aligned to what’s told before?

Beat Around The Bush
