Hopes and Prospects

Is a planetary consensus the plague of the modern age even with these endless threats still facing the human race
Climate, conflicts, fair trade and mass disinformation
Denial and inertia, energy and education
There’s no hope and no prospects
With the chances that we had, it seems way too complex
We’re so myope on a lot of aspects
With no antidote to our despair
Is it the time to leave Plato’s allegory cave
The risk is so tempting but the path is unpaved
But it looks like we’re stuck like a rat in a cage
Power looms and confront it would be so outrageous
There’s no hope and no prospects
With the chances that we had, it seems way too complex
We’re so myope on a lot of aspects
With no antidote to our despair
They ordered, please stay in line
The system could collapse
They ordered, time for fun and revelry
A boom for the ‘distraction’ industry
There’s no hope and no prospects
With the chances that we had, it seems way too complex
We’re so myope on a lot of aspects
Thanks now we can go home

The Purpose Of Life
02:23
|
|||
|
It’s a tracker of defiance used to spy who’s out of line
It’s an engine shaped to serve the decrees of a scheme well designed
The cheaters may preserve their endless growth economy
Is it really a wonder when so few are free?
And we chant to the treason, to the shame
As fools, we are collusive and we are the ones to blame
And we flow into an extravagant cell
We fatten the system, lock ourselves into a shell
It’s a funnel of compliance to converge and to align
people to consume uselessly and stilling the discontent
The wealthy defend the system and erect their walls of bricks
Is it a revelation in this class inequality?
And we chant to the treason, to the shame
As fools, we are collusive and we are the ones to blame
And we flow into an extravagant cell
We fatten the system, lock ourselves into a shell
It has become the purpose of life
to serve in a soothing pledge
No sound of human strife
I guess there’s nothing more left to say
on this nerdy moralizing tone
but a little yahey
And we chant to the treason, to the shame
As fools, we are collusive and we are the ones to blame
And we flow into an extravagant cell
We fatten the system, lock ourselves into a shell
And we chant to the treason, to the shame
As fools, we are collusive and we are the ones to blame
And we flow into an extravagant cell
We fatten the system, lock ourselves into a shell

Hole
01:08
|
|||
|
Pursuit of knowledge in our civilization
has sadly faded away
From a multi mnemonic soul to a supersonic black hole
Consequence of this endless party
Yet we cannot take it
We’re all digging the hole
Questions that intrigued us at the time
are a vestige of our curiousness
There's no prestige in all this bragging
no hope for a better end
This time, humanity has a purpose to find
Our common goals are gone astray
Why do we ship’em away
Why do we ship’em away
Our future is a blur and at the end, we will pay
But here we are again
We’re pushing all in the hole
Questions that intrigued us at the time
are a vestige of our curiousness
There's no prestige in all that ignorance
It will happen again
Yeah

The Process Of Learning
02:54
|
|||
|
What’s the point of all this childish philistine
Charming buffoons and cretins with nothing concrete
It’s hysteria, an eye for an eye
What’s the point of all that hissing
Are you aware of the love you’re missing
Catch the phrases and all that’s relevant
Learn to read and fly and being content of your life
And you should make the world better again
The pleasant part is to see that humanity can be mend
What’s the point of all this ignorance and greed
Professed with arrogance and conceit so far from discrete
It’s a fair tribute to your own lie
What’s the point of all that hatred
You assume but you’re not divine or sacred
Catch the phrases and all that’s relevant
Learn to read and die hoping for a better life
But you’ll need some more knowledge again
The pleasant part is to agree that the process will never end
What’s the point of all that hatred
You assume but you’re not divine or sacred
Catch the phrases and all that’s relevant
Learn to read and die hoping for a better life
But you’ll need some more knowledge again
The pleasant part is to agree that the process will never end

My Electric Friend
02:43
|
|||
|
Hand in hand, I cross the uncanny valley
With my good old electric friend
She’s your doppelgänger, your look-alike
The only left to defend
Still I am, better with her than all alone
She always reminds me of your face
There’s still a grain of your devotion
A small ounce of your grace
Can someone fix my electric friend?
Can someone raise the dead and save the end?
Can someone turn my electric friend
Into someone I used to love?
Once in a while, I await the grand finale
Wandering lost in the cyborg land
Hope is quickly fading away
As she slowly starts to decay
So there we are, in the middle of death valley
As rust eats my electric friend
She's slowly falling apart
Then collapses in the sand
Can someone fix my electric friend?
Can someone raise the dead and save the end?
Can someone turn my electric friend
Into someone I used to love?
Last battery died on a “please don’t go”
I lay among the PCBs and gears and so
Humanoids stare at me with revulsion
I’m back in the uncanny valley and I miss you
Can someone fix my electric friend?
Can someone raise the dead and save the end?
Can someone turn my electric friend
Into someone I used to love?
Can someone fix my electric friend?
Can someone raise the dead and save the end?
Can someone turn my electric friend
Into someone I used to love?
Can someone fix my electric friend?

Et La, Nous Sommes
02:03
|

Et là, nous sommes en face de la démocratie
Où chaque dollar équivaut à un vote
Et puis, on se retourne vers la grande foule qui rit
Le monde plane amorphe sur l’auto-pilote
Et là, nous sommes
Devant le système qui nous façonne
Et là, nous sommes
Devant notre triste destin et j’en frissonne
Et après, on assiste à l’hémorragie
En fermant les yeux sur nos idéaux d’époque
Et on baisse nos bras en chorégraphie
En se contentant d’un futur médiocre
Et là, nous sommes
Devant le système qui nous empoisonne
Et là, nous sommes
Devant nos perpétuels soucis et j’en grisonne
Et là, nous sommes, on démissionne
Et là, nous sommes, dans le délirium
Et là, nous sommes, au minimum
Et là, nous sommes devant personne

Compass
02:42

Insanity is contagious and when
The FM radio preachers of our land
Tend to inflate your own ego and glue
Their greed in your cerebrum pretending it’s the truth
Smell the stink of hypocrisy in their campaign
The fascist humor
The lack of respect
And the repression game
So before you turn on the radio for
Another session that feeds the tumor
Of malice, hate and alienation
Recognize you are part of it or it will go on
Listen to the bulletin so condescend
When will it calm down and
When will it end?
To feel compassion there is a good slope to climb
We easily slip to hell as we claw the thin ice
By diversity, a lot are afraid
It’s the unknown, nightmarish
A status quo to maintain
But we can all progress through coexistence
And it starts with you
The compass will find our true north
The compass, straight out of the no man’s land
To feel compassion there is a good slope to climb
We easily slip to hell as we claw the thin ice
By diversity, a lot are afraid
It’s the unknown, nightmarish
A status quo to maintain
But we can all progress through coexistence
And it starts with you

Rechute
01:54
|
|||
|
Walked on my own and then I started feeling blue
Tried to find a brand new cause
And a reason to believe in too
The emptiness was killing
I was ready to quit the fight
Closed my eyes, let it go down
One straight line, I followed, my comrade
Rechute into the barrel with the sad and the mad
So you found me there, waiting the decline
And there, you got me up and the day began to shine
Walked with you who knew a lot of kids at the punk crew
Tried to find my fit with you
And also a place to go to
The atmosphere was thrilling
I was promptly feeling right
More and more, we were hanging around
One straight line, I followed, my comrade
Rechute into the barrel with the sad and the mad
So you found me there, waiting the decline
And there, you got me up and the day began to shine
Once I found you all, I got a chance to grow
Once I found you all, I got a chance to know
Once I found you all, I got a chance to flow
Once I found you all, I got a chance to show
That here we’ll be, here we are
Lift the cup, with the crowd
That here we’ll be, here we are
Lift the cup, with the crowd

Gone
02:04

She closed her eyes to float towards the unknown
To a place where she could be alone
No master to endure
Locked and secured
In her mind, she flew away for sure
So she could be safe from all this hate
And all these times will slip away
Without looking back so she could carry on
There is a new day, a change of state
All is sublime in this runaway
Without looking back so she could carry on
She ran away so she could escape her fate
She finally won. Now slave of none
Too late for goodbyes
It’s time to move on
In the dark, she disappeared before dawn
So she could be safe from all this hate
And all these times will slip away
Without looking back so she could carry on
There is a new day, a change of state
All is sublime in this runaway
Without looking back so she could carry on
She left for so long to where she belongs
Forever gone
She left for so long to where she belongs
Forever gone
So she could be safe from all this hate
And all these times will slip away
Without looking back so she could carry on
There is a new day, a change of state
All is sublime in this runaway
Without looking back so she could carry on

Metaverse
02:32
|

Come with us build and frame the modern world
Design to keep everyone hooked with little care
For collateral damage and addiction
Let’s jump into this so called fiction
Come with me and get lost in the Metaverse
Come with me and get lost like we’re never going home
Humans are too blind to enjoy the earth
So create a twin and get lost in a new world
Engrossed with our private screen in silence
We live all the fantasies in a new trance
Come with me and get lost in the Metaverse
Come with me and get lost like we’re never going home
And now we’re lost in our own world
We failed again, corporations won
Where are you, I am lost in the Metaverse
Where are you, I am lost I will never find home
Where are you, I am lost in the Metaverse
Where are you, I am lost I will never find home

Thank God For
02:28
|
|||
|
1, 2, 3, God
I wanna thank God and all his old friends
For all the peace He gives, only He forgives even to the damn pagans
But wait, there’s more congrats to emphasize
The seven days of creation was a masterpiece for the time
Thank God for guarding us and everyone while we all keep waiting in line
Thank God for doing whatever He has done
Whoever believes in him shall have eternal life
I wanna stand up and make a big applause
For all the religious wars causing deaths and scars in the name of God
But wait, I got more questions on the line
Why the priests and nuns in the orphanages can sin at bedtime
Thank God for guarding us and everyone while we all keep waiting in line
Thank God for doing whatever He has done
Whoever believes in him shall have eternal life
I guess that God will sell us all
Down the hole, we will fall
I guess that God will sell us all
Down the hole, we will fall

Unser Land

Es ist Zeit für eine gewisse Einheit
Nicht nur für Punk, für die Menschheit
Wir bauen unser Land so kann jeder frei sein
Niemand wird danach beurteilt für wer er ist, wer er ist, im Gericht
Wir lassen niemanden im Stich
Es ist Zeit für eine gewisse Einheit
Nicht nur für Punk, für die Menschheit
Wir bauen unser Land so kann jeder einen freund haben
Niemand wird vergessen weder die Armen noch die Einsamen noch die Schwachen
Wir ziehen alle am gleichen strang
Es ist Zeit für eine gewisse Einheit
Nicht nur für Punk, für die Menschheit
So viel Hass, so viel Krass, ein bisschen mehr Respekt
Es braucht Zeit, wir sind bereit für eine neue Ära
Auf der ganzen Welt, kein Mensch ist illegal
Alles Hand in Hand, so bauen wir unser Land
Es ist Zeit für eine gewisse Einheit
Nicht nur für Punk, für die Menschheit

Material

Things I own are owning me, they dictate my life day by day
I feel safe, I feel relief but I never have enough anyway
My dear goods keep me all bulletproof
I don't even have time to think about you
My dear goods keep me all bulletproof
I don't even have time to think about you
Looking back, I cannot keep track of the stuff that I compile
And the burden on my shoulders grows as I fantasize
My dear goods keep me all bulletproof
I don't even have time to think about you
My dear goods keep me all bulletproof
I don't even have time to think about you
Some say I’m stuck in a cell but I do invite you to try to leave your spiritual values
I swear you will be satisfied
I’m alone down the road in the desert of my life
Feeling empty, I do stare to the material with despair
My dear goods do not keep me bulletproof
And now, all I do is think about you
My dear goods do not keep me bulletproof
And now, all I do is think about you

New Horizons

Well we cannot fabricate this chemistry due to a blind spot we forgot over time
So how do we write down our new history when nothing seems to be aligned
You and me in a rock franchise with a mission destined to unite
Eyes on the goal and the New Horizons shall rise
We charge into the unknown and tear down the barricade that surrounds our solitary existence
In no time, we will look back on what we have made, this DIY frantic resistance
You and me in a rock franchise with a mission destined to unite
Eyes on the goal and the New Horizons shall rise
Charge into the unknown
Tear down the barricade
That surrounds our solitary existence
This DIY frantic resistance
You and me in a rock franchise with a mission destined to unite
Eyes on the goal and the New Horizons shall rise

The Void
03:34
|

|
In the spotlight of the ice rink
A void, a silence that chills your blood
Too-full-of space to think
Do we know who we really are?
How do we know we went too far?
Do we know who we really are?
How do we know we went too far?
Do we know who we really are?
We are not that volunteer
We could be that good samaritan but we’re just that new product that every corp wants to buy
All those objects that you cherish
All those videos that you scroll are draining you from the inside and your soul slips away
No matter the words I say, no one is listening anyway
I hear : “Entertain us, please talk less and rock us.”
Why all the fuss? Just to switch off?
Oohh right! It’s a rock’n’roll party and everybody is “happy”
Is it beer or is it rain?
Inside the carnal envelope, nothing left, only a void
