Lyrics of TC23 – CITY OF DREAMS
Soaking in the moment,
Picky cos I’m chosen
so it’s got me hopein
Yeah it’s like me
This the city of dreams
I got lost in the search of meaning
Case acquired all in don’t mean to be demeaning
Hooked by the night hoping I can fucking find the feeling
Fast love is on the cards for those hearts in need of healing
Imma take the bar an raise it like the fucking ceiling
Wired up on shards, nights draggin (dragon) Perks of fire breathing
Past too dark, I got secrets that I need too keep in
Still moving central Feel electric like the fucking heating
What’s the reason pandemonium
helps with breathing
Need to take a minute always say goodbye before I’m leaving
Don’t speak so I’m never missing what they’re teaching
Small tweaks can make the difference ease paths that need defeatin
Sights on dough though I know it isn’t what I’m Needin
Close the door to the kitchen make sure I can keep the heat in
Seeking peace in the clouds comin up not even peaking
Plans to take the earth an rock it so I’m fuckin heat seeking
Soaking in the moment,
Picky cos I’m chosen
so it’s got me hopein
Yeah it’s like me
This the city of dreams
City of dreams (yeah)
City of dreams
Get a z a week ironic I ain’t even sleeping
The pain is chronic but the breeze helps me keep the peace in
Hearts stopped so I guess the music keeps it beatin
Won’t drown in water small minds won’t even dip their feet in
Recommend an author they don’t even practice reading
Follow useless causes void of faith I know they won’t believe in
How you supposed to raise the roof if you ain’t even started beaming
Life without the moment is the same as words without a meaning
It was in the dark my eyes opened
It was through the silence ysound was found so now I’ve spoken
Poor allegiance to the crown you’re fighting for can leave you broken
Stay awake up every Night like sun light forever glowin
Huh yeah I know you’ve felt the same pain
Different place, different face but it’s the same game
Held by the same chains damage in the mainframe
We All got baggage so were flying on the same plane
Soaking in the moment,
Picky cos I’m chosen
so it’s got me hopein
Yeah it’s like me
This the city of dreams
City of dreams (yeah)
City of dreams
We’re on Different course but feeling like the same aim
Nice Porsche high horse reppin gold chains
Black tie, eyes wide Betting high stakes
Think you’re winning then realise baby that it’s all fake
Eye on cake focused lookin rich but going broke
No debate try to cope, overdosed up on the smoke
Never choke so you’d hope, the wait makes it hard to float
Changin lanes cos No one wants to be up on a sinking boat
Couple grams in my system just to help you cope
In a world full of sheep it’s hard to find the goats
Yeh I roll with them best believe we got the smoke
Grab my ice pick unhinged yeah we fucking carved the slopes
Soaking in the moment,
See the door open
Picky cos I’m chosen
This city don’t sleep so it’s got me hopein
Yeah it’s like me except the system ain’t broken

Vanity Life (Remix by Bending Grid) – The Safety Word
“Ωραία μελωδία με φρεσκάδα και ζωντάνια που ανοίγει τους μουσικούς μας ορίζοντες. Τα φωνητικά με την δροσερή διάθεση τους και την ευχάριστη τοποθέτηση τους μας συναρπάζουν και μας προσφέρουν απολαυστικές στιγμές. Ο γρήγορος ρυθμός δεν σταματά να μας διασκεδάζει και να κάνει τα πάντα τριγύρω μας να μοιάζουν πιο όμορφα και μαγικά.”

Lyrics of The Safety Word – Vanity Life (Remix by Bending Grid)
Vanity life
It pushes you down
You think of a way to turn it around
I know that we are rising
I know that times are changing
I know that we are rising
To soon to fall away
I think of yesterday
As tomorrow dawns anew
Over saturated
Over complicated we are
Do we live our lives being told what to do
Or follow our heart
I know that we are rising
I know that times are changing
I know that we are rising
To soon to fall away
I think of yesterday
As tomorrow dawns anew
Everything that I think about
Innocence is our way out
Choices made we’ve lost control
Insanity rules our mind and soul
If time was to end
Would we still pretend or pray
Spirit connects us all we share our pain
Gravity is a lie it’s all a shame
Harmony is our soul balancing the rain
No more need to hurt ourselves
Let’s be friends
I know that we are rising
I know that time is changing
I know that we are rising
To soon to fall away
To soon to fall away
To soon to fall away

Mortal – Eyeconic
“Η όμορφη μυστηριακή μελωδία εξάπτει την φαντασία και μας μεταφέρει σε μια ατμόσφαιρα ξεχωριστή και απολαυστική. Τα ευκίνητα φωνητικά με τη δυναμική τους ανεβάζουν την αδρεναλίνη και μας αναστατώνουν ευχάριστα. Ο ρυθμός με την ανήσυχη αγωνία του κρατά το ενδιαφέρον μας αμείωτο από την αρχή έως το τέλος.”

You Don’t Own Your Swing – Rachel Goodrich
“Η ωραία και ευχάριστη μελωδία μας ταξιδεύει πίσω στο χρόνο και μας γεμίζει νοσταλγία.

Ο εύθυμος ρυθμός πετά από πάνω μας την σκόνη της στεναχώριας και μας αφήνει να πετάξουμε ανέμελα ψηλά.”

Peace – Dr. Pushkin
“Τα πληθωρικά και ευκίνητα φωνητικά μας εντυπωσιάζουν. Η δυναμική τους παρουσία και η έκταση της φωνής τους τα κάνει να ξεχωρίζουν. Η ωραία μελωδία επιβάλλεται στο χώρο και ανεβάζει το επίπεδο της διασκέδασης. Ο έντονος ρυθμός με τις εναλλαγές του και το επιθετικό στυλ του μας αναστατώνει και μας αφυπνίζει.”

Lyrics of Dr. Pushkin – Peace
Aaaaah
Uuuuuu Aaa A Ahhhh
Aaaahhh Uuu A A A Ahhhhh
I wanna see, I wanna see
I wanna see that peace
I wanna feel, I wanna feel
I wanna feel that peace
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know that peace
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be at peace
Look at us going
Why do we fight
Stuck in the moment
Stuck on our lives
Everyone’s reasons always the same
Cannot let go, let go of the pain
Pain from the words
The sticks and betrayal
Pain from the memory
Of how it had felt
All we can think is
Paying them back
Paying with pain
Hate and attack
Next time they shout
Let it all be
No need to answer
Let them release
At the right moment
To those who offend
Simply just ask them
How have you been
Next time they shout
Let it all be
No need to answer
Let them release
At the right moment
To those who offend
Simply just ask them
How have you been
Down
I’ve been feeling low
And lately
It’s all out of control
I’ve been looking
For the words to say
I am speechless
Cannot find a way
We can clearly see
The games they play
But we let them
Play us anyway
I’ve been feeling down
I’ve been feeling low
But I gotta keep fighting
So I’m here to let you know
That I still
I wanna see, I wanna see
I wanna see that peace
Hear them argue who best is
They just measuring testes
Could be fighting for justice
Empathy’s what my test is
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be at peace
Are you feeling defensive
Defenseless are slain
While you sit on the fence
You should fence less
Saying you want peace
Get your finger on the trigger
Of your piece
And be ready to squeeze
Ima give it to you raw
Law of opposites
To know peace
Gotta study art of war
Yeah we hope for the best
And prepare for the worst
If they want some
Give them some more
World’s a mirror
Our reflection
We must face it
Imperfection
Only way to embrace it
Our culture
Cannot let them erase it
They are us
We cannot be complacent
Let me put you all on game
You a masterpiece
Never be nobody’s pawn
This you must resist
Current chaos not in vain
Turn the storm clouds into rain
Let it wash away the pain
And you know one day
We will have peace, yeah
And really really
I want to see it like SPiRi
Peace

Jolene (not a cover) – Jethro Pickett
“Τα όμορφα και εκλεπτυσμένα φωνητικά μιλούν κατευθείαν στην καρδιά και μας γεμίζουν αγάπη. Η ξεχωριστή χροιά τους χαϊδεύει
τα αφτιά μας. Η μελωδία δημιουργεί μια μαγική ατμόσφαιρα όπου τα συναισθήματα μας βρίσκουν θέση και ανταπόκριση. Ο ρυθμός με την ευκίνητη ροή του και την θετική διάθεση του μας γαληνεύει.”

Lyrics of Jethro Pickett – Jolene (not a cover)
You could be my Jolene
Inspiration may strike
At any time
Throughout your night
Another song I should write
But I won’t, instead I will try
With invisible ink
To avoid a fight
To get this one down, a quest for desertion is found
When you’re not around
I’m lost and can’t be found
Words like should should be banned
Own your words you’ve reminded me
Yes I know that’s a bad rhyme
You should ban me too
And if things were through
I’d still want to hear from you
Even if it’s bad news, oh from you
You could be my Jolene
Not your name and not my scene
My Jolene
Except for without the ownership that that implies
Jolene
I could talk to you forever and not cross a line
Jolene
Reassurance is a term for non ephemeral lives.
You could be my Jolene
Am I ten steps ahead and I think I’m behind
Jolene
No it’s the other way around I’m not that fuckin blind
Jolene
Like a fennec in the sand who doesn’t see with his eyes
Jolene
Oh the beautiful invisible and heartfelt demise

Highway Of Tears – Johnny & the Dinosaurs
“Μια όμορφη φωτεινή μέρα ξεφεύγω από το θόρυβο της πόλης και περιπλανιέμαι στη φύση κάτω από τον λαμπερό ήλιο. Η μελωδία αυτή με συνοδεύει και είναι τόσο ταιριαστή και γλυκιά. Τα υπέροχα φωνητικά εκφράζουν την ψυχή μου με την ευαισθησία τους. Ο ήρεμος ρυθμός μοιάζει να με φροντίζει και να με συμπονά αλλά και να μου δίνει ελπίδα.”

Lyrics of Johnny & the Dinosaurs – Highway Of Tears
Wind is blowing, through your hair, it’s golden.
like the moon, like the sun, like the stars
Radio’s on, playing an old rock song,
about a gun – you sing along but you get the words wrong
You look to the left and it doesn’t look right
I wonder why we fuss and fight
Spinning wheels and shifting gears
As we take our turn on a highway of tears
I’m gonna have to face it, one more time. Erase it.
You’re already gone, in another song (tu-du-du du, tu-du-du-du)
Your pale ghost is haunting my dark dreams
Every night I wake up, staring into the white (into the white)
It’s alright, you do me wrong
I just wonder what the hell I’ve done
Spinning wheels and shifting gears
As we turn around on a highway of tears
Spring is here again, so you’d better start swimming my friend
the water’s cold so I’m told
The water’s cold, don’t be bold
Better don’t show, better don’t tell
I just thought you were somebody else
We’ve slowed down throughout the years
But there’s no looking back on a highway of tears.
No, there’s no looking back on a highway of tears.

Work, Travaillez – Dustin Dale Gaspard
“Τα πληθωρικά και δυναμικά φωνητικά ξεχωρίζουν και μας βάζουν στο παιχνίδι από την πρώτη στιγμή. Η τραχιά χροιά τους μας γοητεύει. Η μελωδία μας προσφέρει την διασκέδαση απλόχερα και μας παρασύρει στον παιχνιδιάρικο χορό της. Ο ξέφρενος ρυθμός μας ανεβάζει την διάθεση και μας αφήνει να εκφραστούμε ελεύθερα. ”
