This page lacked new songs, so here you go! This be demo of a song we've been playing live recently. We should probably be recording something soon, but, you know, lazy.

lyrics:
"WAKE UP!
It's time to find yourself
Existentiality is flawed - we're all dead
You see - there's nothing left to be
Stop struggling for what you won't achieve
and lose yourself to death
Realise you are broken, wavering, scarred,
empty in your heart and torn apart
Please excuse me as I lose myself
Transcend this world and become nothingness
The only way to heal the emptiness inside
is to close your eyes and die
WAKE UP
The disillusionment is spreading - become aware
RISE UP
(and) declare this world has drained your power
and all your strength away
GIVE UP
I searched my soul but couldn't find it 'cause I'm an animal
FIRE - let it burn you as you fall
into the blackened abyss
Heed the call and see it all come forth
And heed the call and sleep where shadows lie
Lose yourself to death
-
I wish I could forget all
Wish I had the strength to settle
and start a new life buried in a grave
(with) my remains on display to see
I wish I could forget all
Wish I had the strength to sever
all of my arteries from my brain
and watch it all fade away...
LAST CALL
I finally found myself
and broke into pieces when I realised what I saw was me
This wretched life - this worthless, wasted life
has taken all too much of your time
It's time to go

So write me down in history,
how I wanted the world to be
and how it failed me again and again
I lose myself to death
The journey ends right now."

Lose Yourself to Death (demo)

A small excerpt from our recording session earlier this July. More to come.

Yarp Summer Recording 2015 in a nutshell

A recording of Yarp performing their song "Sensational".

This is one of the few songs we've written where we all went "wow - this could be really awesome!". So we decided to record it. It's a 7 minute track of alternating sections and intertwining musical ideas, building up form simplicity to alternations of 15/16, 7/8 & 13/16. But it lacks a chorus (fuck yeah). And it's subject matter is love~~ (read the lyrics below).

In the studio, we might have gotten completely mad with power, which explains the ending... Anyway, if you like what you hear, shoot us a message. Also, feel free to invite us to any event; we'd love to play random places.

"Sensational" was recorded during summer 2015 in Studio Underjord. Engineered and mixed by Joona, preliminarily mastered by Mattias Montelius.

Lyrics:

"My wish - come true
My life - renew

A mutual understanding
A pact of unconditionality
Unspoken words of trust
Bind our vow

We can never flee
Stuck upon this Earth
Where we toil in grief
Always so desperately cold
We can never feel
In our search for more,
we can only hear ourselves
 - bickering

Speak up and hear
We're out of tune

Come closer, show me who you are
There's no restriciton for our cause
Cast off your tightly weaven skin
Let us begin

We can never heal
I'm standing in the rain
And although I might be soaking, I'm warm
So I'm standing still
It's pouring over me
Silently listening

In the bleakness I strive for release and peace of mind
In search for more
I have a desperate longing for an enlightened state
of eternal SATISFACTION

On the highest peak
of human emotion
Trembling
shivering
in delight
Stuck in this place
Forever

WEAKNESS
Tell me I'm weak 'cause I'm struggling with no
DIRECTION
Endlessly/helplessly searching with nowhere to go
Numbening nerves
WEAKNESS
Tell me I'm weak 'cause I'm struggling to feel
SENSATION
I've spent my life searching to find that I feel
nothing but disgust

(Look behind... underneath...
deep inside... what you keep...
Say that you... are complete...
lie that you... don't seek.)

Lay down
Pull through
Put weigth
In what you do

Strong temptations
feed your longing

Let warmth
Consume
And float
Into
A brilliant dawn

And though we had it all
Nothing stops the pain
Infused with bliss temporarily
The world is in the way

We can never stay
We can never be whole

Fade out
So soon
Broke down
In pursuit

Of something more to
Make me feel alive

Tell me I'm weak 'cause I think I have lost
PERCEPTION
You drown me in loving I stare back in hate
WEAKNESS
I tell you I'm weak, I'm dependent on your
PROTECTION
Anything to recieve what you give

You are the drug I take in defiance
of the truth I found
That nothing is enough
to bring heaven alive

'Cause nothing escapes in the end
This is planet Earth,
your burial place and tomb
- where nothing escapes

Nothing escapes

Give up
The truth
Laid bare
And cruel

I ALWAYS WANTED MORE
I ENDLESSLY PURSUED
I DREAMT OF BLISSFULNESS
I FOUND NOTHING, AND NOTHING LESS"

Sensational

Yarp performing their song "An Account" during the summer of 2015.

"An Account" is a couple of years old. However, it was always laying there, deep within the vaults of some mysterious computer, perpetually half-finished. Until someone got the idea to stick a few ballad chords at the end. Brilliant! Lyrics deal with Christianity, mainly because Mattias wrote the text for the last part first and fitted the rest thereafter. It isn't exactly scorching criticism, but hell, it's just supposed to fit the song.

Overall, "An Account" is a slow, simple, heavy and sluggish number that does well both on recording and especially live. And it actually has a chorus.

If you like what you hear, let us know. If there's anything going on near your town that you'd like to invite us to, let us know. We'd love to play. Probably.

"An Account" was recorded in Studio Underjord during summer 2015. Engineered and mixed by Joona, badly mastered by Mattias Montelius.

Lyrics:

"Listening to what you say:
'All of this accounts for something'
You weep and laugh and scream in rage
Second-guessing your mistakes and
Listening to what you say:
'All of this accounts for something'
Lying to youself and sway
All adrift in your disturbant thoughts

And I'm scarred
Turning away from it all
Figuring out what we are
Turning away from their cause
So shoot me away

Listening to what you say:
'All of this accounts for something'
You war and lie and steal
Ignoring that which lies before your eyes

And I'm scarred
Turning away from it all
Figuring out what we are
Turning away from their cause
So shoot me away

[improv]

But then,
whatever cause that brings you to an end
A breeze in the warming snow
Then my bells call out for sermon in the wild
and calm
and quiet

But then again,
I have no wish for dieties to befriend,
nor see what they wish to show
Then again,
they always end their sermons with the wine
to appease the broken

(Insh'Allah transcendis
Mea culpa deus ax
Allah Akhbar
deus ex machina
Insh'Allah transcendis
Mea culpa deus
deus deus deus machina)

An I'm scarred."

An Account

Balladen. From "Sketches For a Brilliant Future"

Balladen

Yarp is a metal band originating from Linköping, Sweden. We like to make things difficult for ourselves, and challenge conventional songwriting. Still, we identify our music as "pop" and try to make it catchy. We just release a single; "An Account + Sensational", you should listen to it. If you like what you hear, message us and force us to get out and play somewhere. We'll do it. Probably.
