Lyrics of Varvarip – Warriors | Bargaining
There once was a warrior With a bright and shining armor Well, he walked so tall and strong With his feet on the ground
A life of death had the warrior Many scars upon his face So he forged the metal To hide his fear and shame
One day he met with a warrior A cloak of rubber was her shield Well, her beauty was known But her heart was closed and sealed
When she laid eyes on the warrior She looked deep within his soul Well, they got closer but their armors would clash They had to let them go
He took off his helmet and she raised her hood Just one look to see what’s inside Afraid to be seen by the rest of the world They felt safe in each others eyes
Soon new adventures would drift them apart A mission so far to the East So he wore his armor back on and he left But her eyes he could never unsee
He wandered through tropical forests afar Forty days and forty nights She sailed for a deserted island In a sea so deep as the clear blue skies
When he returned holding his sword at hand Well her face had faded away But she never forgot him And it was a matter of time till he’d seek her again
And so One other day they would meet in her island at sea He would sing her this song to explain Then they’d spend every night under stars shining bright Making love holding each other tight
Just one boy and a girl walk the streets hand in hand Running barefoot and dance in the sand No one knows how their story will end But for now it is time to see for themselves

Lyrics of The Innocent Bystanders x TAVIA – Whiskey & Tears
Drunk again all by myself I’m strung together by the whiskey and the tears you left me in
I can see you with her holding hands down by the water where you told me that you would never leave
Here I am all by myself Holdin’ the dog you left me with while you go and figure it out
If I would have known that we wouldn’t be together I wouldn’t waste myself on someone who loves to leave
(And) I could stay at home missing you and drinking alone it’s easier to cry then move on
I haven’t been myself in days and (And) I’m tired of feeling this way wishing you were just a dream… it’s better to lose you then me
Now I find myself sittin thinkin bout tomorrow and I’ll put it all away for tonight
And I’ll throw on that red dress you always hated me wearing And I’ll stop wasting my time looking back
I wonder what you’re saying and I wonder what you think of me I gotta work through all this questioning
I traded you in like a bad habit but you we all know that you can’t chase your whiskey with a bitter memory
(And) I could stay at home missing you and drinking alone it’s easier to cry then move on
I haven’t been myself in days and (And) I’m tired of feeling this way wishing you were just a dream… it’s better to lose you then me

“Με ωραίο και γοητευτικό τρόπο η μελωδία έρχεται να μας αγκαλιάσει και να ζεστάνει την ψυχή μας. Τα υπέροχα φωνητικά με το ωραίο ηχόχρωμα τους εκφράζουν τόσο επιτυχημένα τα συναισθήματα μας και ρίχνουν φως στις σκοτεινές σκέψεις μας. Ο ρυθμός με πάθος και όρεξη ξεδιπλώνεται για να μας κάνει να νιώσουμε πάνω από όλα και πιο δυνατοί.”

Lyrics of Christopher James – Best of Luck
I guess you’re gone for good this time You loaded up the car and took the credit cards And I guess you think I’ll call you But my head’s been talking to my messed up heart
And maybe that road’s getting lonely now Maybe you want to come on back round Maybe you think if you pull back in the drive I’ll welcome you home and dry my sad eyes Well, no..you’re wrong..so wrong Cause I’m glad that you’re gone So best of luck…thanks for leaving the truck
I guess I knew and heard it was true You thought it, but didn’t think it through There’s something I think that you should know Cause I cancelled all the cards you use so I hope you filled up the car before you cut loose
Cause maybe that road’s getting lonely now Maybe you want to come on back round Maybe you think if you pull back in the drive I’ll welcome you home and dry my sad eyes Well, no..you’re wrong..so wrong Cause I’m glad that you’re gone So best of luck…thanks for leaving the truck
me and the truck and the dog will be fine One of your friends bringing supper over tonight And I’m sure not leaving on the light…
Cause maybe that road’s getting lonely now Maybe you want to come on back round But I’m so glad you’re gone. Well, best of luck. Thanks for leavin’ the truck.

Τα φωνητικά με τις εκπληκτικές δυνατότητες τους μας προσφέρουν ένα απολαυστικό μελωδικό ταξίδι και αγγίζουν την ψυχή μας. Ο ρυθμός με την ήρεμη δύναμη του μας συνεφέρνει και μας βάζει στο σωστό δρόμο.”

Lyrics of Hazlett – doing my best
So long, goodnight Watch me go and put it upstairs How come warm lights Have a way of making me scared I know what you liked But don’t know what you like
I’m okay but kinda upset Told my mum I’m doing my best It’s too late to go and get rest So I’m gonna live in my head (Oh no, oh no no) (Oh no, oh no no)
Cold cup warm stay Growing up and learn to make tea Fall comes, too late Life is short and worrying me I know what you liked But don’t know what you like
I’m okay but kinda upset Told my mum I’m doing my best It’s too late to go and get rest So I’m gonna live in my head (Oh no, oh no no) (So I’m gonna live in my head) (Oh no, oh no no) (Live in my head) (So I’m gonna live in my head)

“Ενέργεια και ρυθμός γίνονται ένα και μας ξεσηκώνουν σε μια ξέφρενη γιορτή. Τα φωνητικά με την τέλεια χροιά τους και το γοητευτικό ύφος τους, μας παρασύρουν σε ένα ανέμελο χορό που μας απελευθερώνει και διώχνει τις ενοχές μας. Μπορούμε για μια στιγμή να νιώσουμε ανάλαφροι και πανίσχυροι .Η υπέροχη ροκ μελωδία διαπερνά την ψυχή μας και γίνεται τα κατάλληλο τονωτικό μας.”

Lyrics of Monotronic – Everything Moves
What you call Karma’s just a clever way, clever way, clever way to take revenge And every word, every word that you say, is just another way you bring it back again
Open your eyes, everything moves See how it’s falling apart You’re out on your own, feeling the world Stumble and fall then you come back home
You come to play you’re sucker for the pain Run away, run away it’s all pretend Turn the page, turn the page I hear you say Another way, another way to make amends You keep saying that the dividend will pay Now your broke, now you’re broke you can’t explain In the end you can put it all away And buy yourself, buy yourself another day
Open your eyes, everything moves See how it’s falling apart You’re out on your own, feeling the world Stumble and fall, then you come back home
Open your eyes, everything moves Open your eyes, see how it’s falling apart Get out of your head into the world See for yourself now you’re on your own
