Lyrics:

I feel so high, you're a fever, you are so...
We are so low cause we're bleeding, we are so...
There's no solution to the question of our bad decisions,
this space in time will never last forever.

I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna waste my time here.
Where we gonna go, where we gonna go,
where we gonna spend our time now? Where we gonna go?

I feel so tired, like a river, our flow died.
We are so wrong and we're so right,
just this night...
Our inspiration comes and goes in waves of hesitation,
I always ask but all we have is this thing.

I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna waste my time here.
Where we gonna go, where we gonna go,
where we gonna spend our time now? Where we gonna go?

I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna waste my time here.
Where we gonna go, where we gonna go,
where we gonna spend our time now?

Where we gonna go?

Lyrics:

Getting dressed in the back seat,
getting lost in the streets that we grew in.
All the way to the river where we lost ourselves.
In the house that we lived in,
in the birth of our imagination.
Like a hint of a feeling that we all gave up.
We are so divided,
I am so tired.
There’s a girl that I knew then,
she was glad when I found what I wanted.
And I knew that I loved her but she’s all messed up.
Now I live in my future,
but I sleep in the bed that we slept in.
And the things that I wanted don’t add up to much.
We are so divided,
I am so tired.
We are so divided,
I am so tired.
And again, and again,
and again, and again...
Getting dressed in the back seat,
getting lost in the streets that we grew in.
All the way to the river where we lost ourselves.
We are so divided,
I am so tired.
We are so divided,
I am so tired.

Lyrics:

I wouldn’t wake you if I had the choice, please believe.
But now we have to go our enemies are closing in.
I wouldn’t take you from our secret place, honestly.
They’re getting closer now so run with me to the sea
We’ll float away from here so silently lost among the waves,
until the only thing is you and me, everything.
They’ll never find us on our distant shore, sleeping with the sky.
Just like the dream you can’t remember now, all the time.
I wouldn’t leave you If I had the choice, truly.
But now I have to go, my everyday is closing in.
I couldn’t wait here till you disappeared, softly.
I’d rather keep you in my memories, perfectly.
Stay, stay, don’t let it die this way.

Lyrics:

These concrete surrounds are the drug that kills me,
I am denied the sun by my constant shadow.
Who wants to know what the world,
could have been if we only didn’t run?
It doesn’t matter.
Cause in the end we’ll defend all the lies
that we use to sleep at night.
We didn’t put up a fight.
To live my life like a hero on a silverscreen.
To live my life like a rider on a desert scene.
By our own design we are sleeping always,
under the midnight sun we are slowly fading.
Who wants to feel what the world
could have been like the lovers on your mind.
We are in rapture.
But in the end all the words that we sing
never really mean a thing,
until we wake from the night...
To live my life like a hero on a silverscreen.
To live my life like a rider on a desert scene.

Mastered at Kelsey Mastering, Johannesburg.

Lyrics:

You’ve got your indiscretions,
you’ve got your lies.
You’ve got no limitations,
you’ll never know what you are.
Can you feel this house is waking?
Can you break the sky?
I feel your body shaking,
just like the stars that you are.
Burn it up,
all around.
I’d die to hang on your every word.
I’d die to live out your every word.
I do crave your attention,
I feel your eyes.
You are my own invention,
I’ll never leave you behind.
This is no time for faking,
this is the end.
This is our greatest moment,
This is the time of our lives.
Burn it up,
all around.
I’d die to hang on your every word.
I’d die to live out your every word.

Woodstock Mafia - Fade Out Night
Official Audio, off the debut album 'Defiance'

Recorded at Sound and Motion Studios, Cape Town
Mastered at Kelsey Mastering, Johannesburg.

Lyrics:

When I walked on the edge of the world
my desire,
was to find what I’d never been shown
In the silence.
So insane, so insane,
was the feel of my ecstacy.
So insane, so insane,
like the touch of insanity.
When I saw her dancing in the light,
all of my addictions taking flight.
When I woke with the sun in my eyes,
my surrender,
to the ghost of the sound of her voice,
vague horizons.
So insane, so insane,
was the grip of my agony
So insane, so insane,
like the crutch of her memory.
When I saw her dancing in the light,
all of my addictions taking flight.
Fade out, fade out night,
when I saw her dancing in the light...

String arrangement by Luke Otto.

Lyrics:

There’s a man on the street waiting patiently,
for someone to hold on to his story.
He has eyes that have seen great euphoria,
now he hides from the rain in a doorway.
If you knew him you’d think he was lost inside,
like the ghosts of millennia passing.
He holds on to his memories like a child,
if he lets go he’ll lose them forever.
He’d like to think that you’d remember when he’s gone,
he didn’t want to live in vain.
He’d like to think that when he passes from this world,
that things will never be the same.
There’s a man on the street talking endlessly,
he won’t stop cause he’s scared of the silence.
When he dreams he can see the forgotten times,
when his life was a secret before him.
He’d like to think that you’d remember when he’s gone,
he didn’t want to live in vain.
He’d like to think that when he passes

Woodstock Mafia - Electric Light

Woodstock Mafia are a 4-piece rock outfit from Cape Town, South Africa. Since 2011, their hard, alternative rock has captivated audiences and their energetic live shows left crowds screaming for more. Their debut album, 'Defiance', is a full-length, 12-track soundscape of the bands' signature sound and has been described by Rolling Stone as 'an iridescent debut album'.

The bands first single, 'Electric Light', thrust them into the local spotlight with a lengthy playlisting on 5FM, and a double MKtv award-nominated music video. The single was also featured on numerous compilations. Woodstock Mafia have been main stage acts at top South African music festivals including Oppikoppi, Rocking the Daisies, Ramfest, Up The Creek and Splashy Fen.

Their international appeal saw Woodstock Mafia support Chevelle on their Cape Town tour in May 2013, and they have shared stages with top acts such as Deftones and Dead Letter Circus. Locally they can be found regularly alongside leading SA acts such as Taxi Violence and The Plastics to name a few. Woodstock Mafia's latest single, 'Trigger and Gun' is accompanied by the band's second music video, shot by Ric Shields. Their first official remix for 'Electric Light' by The VAriable is available for free download.

In 2014, Woodstock Mafia plan to focus on touring the album far and wide, as well as continue to write fresh new material for their hungry fans.
