Gentle Crisis 08:24
lyrics
he calls them animals confusion in his mind messy lexico of a racist mouth (things with soul) if you haven’t slept outside in the streets for one night at least if you weren’t afraid that you wouldn’t have bread or medical care or breathable air she said “είμαστε πολλοί” so, reduce the number messy ethics of a paid opinion (things with soul) αν δε γνώρισες αν δε γνώριζες βία στο σπίτι και να επιζήσεις μετά τη φρίκη what kind of woman you are how up is your skirt how down is your neckline messy groundrules of a phallo-heart I talk like this and I choke them with my words and I kill and they die their will under mine and I feel all this pain can’t you heal me? only I feel pain only I.. feel… pain.. how would you know what’s inside a black hole how would you know what’s on the other side of a black hole

Blooming 02:20
lyrics
turn that music on turn that music on turn that music on I need some comfort turn that music on I need to export this giant fist that lives inside my chest keeping all my dreams breathing in the mess but they’re blooming in the dirt like the white lotus white flowers blooming in the dirt wishing this wouldn’t hurt colors blooming in the dirt colors blooming in the world colors blooming in the dirt floating moments of the world

Detuning 05:42
lyrics
no critical ability we’d use anything to impress we keep comparing deaths judgemental deep stupidity ‘cause 35 is smaller than 5000 yes, 35 is smaller than 5000 the news said “we’re doomed” who dares to detune? they’re spreading negativity they keep you a slave of their own goals they make millions playing with your souls the news said “we’re doomed” who dares to detune? I am detuning can’t you see oh, they control your mind can’t you see they want you to freak out I am detuning re-building trust was not the truth we are still waiting for your move too many deaths too many homeless I am detuning

Ισορροπία (Balance) 06:20
lyrics
πάντα σου άρεσε η αλήθεια τι καλή! τι καλή! κι αν δεις την απελπισία, μέχρι εκεί, είχες πει όλα φαίνονται συνωμοσία μυστική… μυστική… ψάχνοντας την ισορροπία μουσική… μουσική… ψάχνω εδώ (finding balance in your eyes) ψάχνω εδώ (I found balance in your eyes) ισορροπία τίνι βρε - ντάιμα σουάρι (you want always your sun) βιάρα σουάρι (summer sun) ιο άρντου βριάρι (I burn love) νίνκα όμου, ούνου, έρμου (still a human, one, alone) όταν σου γυρίζουν πλάτη τι θα πει - τι θα πει όταν χάνονται για χρόνια τι θα πει - τι θα πει δεν αρέσει η ειλικρίνεια τακτική - τι θα πει κι εσύ δεν το βάζεις κάτω εμμονή, εμμονή. ψάχνω εδώ (finding balance in your eyes) ψάχνω εδώ (these days, I found balance in your eyes) ισορροπία

Cosmopolis (You are not alone) 02:22
lyrics
leaving home to find a home you carry your lives as you go they act like you’re not there you have to say again what’s your name she said that we’re all the same but mostly wanted to explain that you should be proud of where you’re born but the place you live now is her own (you mentioned) you’re (a) citizen of the world (she insisted that) the place you live now is her own immigrants or refugees some piled up or on their knees trying to build basic rights the right to live the right to live among us the right to live as humans

The Bus 06:41
lyrics
soon, I’ll wake up (all this pain, never truly goes away your ghost is very comprehensive) I will run to get the bus (time is passing by, your life, my life. we don’t know.. we don’t know how to celebrate) and you’ll be there (when everything is dark and we can’t see) and I will come beside you (we can’t see you and me) and I will hug you and our journey will begin and I’ll hear the beating of your heart (we tried the same city, we tried different cities, we tried.. we tried) and also my own (but were we ever?) and we won’t talk (you and me) ‘cause you know my thoughts and I know yours and the bus will be going on (some need money some need space) don’t care where it’s heading (some need war) don’t care where it’s heading (some need someone to adore) because we’ll be.. you and me… in our hidden (is it love?) kingdom… (or is it war?) hidden… soon, I’ll wake up (time is a friend) soon… soon… soon… (breathe! yes!) soon I’ll wake up but I’ll run nowhere the dream will be over and the bus will not be our bus

lyrics

every day, this is life what you do, what I do do it now, life is now you act like you don’t know death you act like you’re immortal you act like you found the one big truth you act like you know the order of the world what if there’s no order? what if what you know is what you see? and what I know, what I see..? what if there’s no just one truth? what if there’s just us thinking? what if there’s just us here? what if the world is in one’s mind? or every mind a differnet world? what is true? what is not? (what is true and what is not?) what I choose is what I am what I do is who I am I may have dreams, but what I do is who I am every day, this is life. every day, every day. what we do is what we are if you want love, just make love do it now, life is now.

Blanket (feat. Influence) 04:22
lyrics
we go by colors we cover ourselves to hide behind a fearful mind his silver tongue tried to reach me but I’m all flesh and I can still taste a bitter kiss, a sour breath he played sitar with her complaining voice in that burning sun and I can still hear little kids near the tree of death in my heart I know you’re not who you say you are and noone is none of you but they need to keep going she has to recover and all her children dry or wet (all the people) re-innovating myself re-justify myself my existence they want to know “how” they want to know “why” they want to change it they want to change me they want to change me they want to make me they want to make me go by colors cover myself and hide behind a fearful mind

City 06:38
lyrics
lights there are lights in this city my city the Sun in the sky and the mirror of Moon (things I will forget fear of being late) the lights in the streets the lights of the signs and all these cars all the avenues (things we all forget never time for friends) the lights of the city in this city my city I can’t see the stars but I have my Sun and my mirror Moon (where is common sense? our life and health Vs trends) and reflecting sexy Venus to dacorate my electric clouds (this is my home I say but I can my sense break your hate?) and my polluted air I live in this big city in this city my city confusion illusion progression profession delusion obsession possession impression aggression exclusion revolution evolution pollution my fusion indignation depression frustration no-motion emotion devotion confession expression co-motion
