Endless Roads MCD/7″
2008 – Shield Recordings
01. Into The Distance
We’re on the road
Feeling free
It’s so unreal
I Feel alive
INTO THE DISTANCE
THE UNKNOWN
INTO THE DISTANCE
THE ENDLESS ROADS
Explore the world
A thousand miles
Day and night
Both passed me by
The times we’ve shared
We won’t forget
Sleep on your floor
While we’ve just met
It made me grow
FOREVER IN MY MIND
Looking back, at those days
I hold ’em so dear
FOREVER IN MY MIND
Being packed together in a van, exploring the world. Those are the best times we have as a band for sure. No feeling of time, no pressure. Just driving into the distance, into the unknown. If you ever went on the road with a couple of friends you know what we’re talking about. That feeling of total freedom. This one goes out to everyone that we did meet on the road.
02. Empty Soul
You can promise me the world, it won’t mean a thing
I’m already aiming low, I’m not asking much
I’ve had enough of you, I should have known
You fail me, let me down, times and time again
I DON’T WANT TO SEE, I DON’T WANT TO FEEL, YOUR EMPTY EYES
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR, I DON’T WANT TO READ, YOUR EMPTY WORDS
You always talk so much, but never say a thing
Your words mean shit to me, you’re an empty soul
LET ME DOWN
I FORGIVE, I FORGET
TO BE LET DOWN AGAIN
We all know these people. Be it politicians making empty promises or even close friends letting you down time and time again. You draw a line, enough is enough. But in the end you’ll forgive them, you’ll forget about it and move on. To be dissapointed yet again…
03. Rearrange
My life’s like a boat on open sea
No wind in the sails, just floating around
I’m not drowning, I’m still in control
Yet I keep thinking, where does it lead me?
I KNOW, I KNOW, GOTTA REARRANGE
I KNOW, I KNOW, THINGS GOT TO CHANGE
I gotta put meaning to my words
No more stalling, times are changing
I KEEP RUNNING
INTO THE SAME WALLS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN
Ever reflected upon your life and got the feeling it’s not really moving forward? Not like there’s anything wrong or something, just the lack of progression? Right. I often wonder what life’s got in store for me and where it will lead me… The thing is, instead of wondering about that we should just take matters into our own hands and direct our lives the way we want it. I know I have to rearrange, I know things have to change. This is my mantra, to activate myself.
04. New Footsteps
Leave those old footsteps, find your way home
Break out of these chains, set yourself free
Mind over matter, true strength that’s inside
Take control over your mind, take control of your life
DON’T FOLLOW BLINDLY
THINK FOR YOURSELF
DON’T BE AFRAID
TO SPEAK WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND
Don’t believe everything, no matter where it’s from
Reconsider and think it through, find your own truth
No need for a show, just be yourself
Don’t fear what they think, just speak your mind
I want to know
I want to learn
What’s on your mind
Think for yourself, make your own choices. It seems so simple, but in reality most of us are simply following footsteps. Don’t be afraid to share your opinion, to do things your own way, no matter what people might think of you. Always speak your mind. Discuss. It’s not going to hurt. We might even learn something from each other.
05. Day In, Day Out
Everyday, it’s all the same
Marching along
We’re all pawns in this game
Stuck in a groove
OUR LIVES ARE ON REPEAT
I FEEL CAUGHT IN THE CYCLE
Going down that road again
Walking in line
We’re all slaves to this world
Day in, day out
Ghosts of the past are catching up
Tomorrow will become yesterday
These days aint new to me
This life is on repeat
“What days is today?” How many times do you get that question or even ask it yourself? Some rhythm/order in your life is a great thing, but you know you crossed the line when each day starts to feel the same. When it starts to feel like a broken record, stuck in it’s groove. 9 to 5, day in, day out. Our society is build around that cycle. I cherish the opportunity to break out of it now and then to jam with the band or go to a show or something like that. To feel alive.
06. Isolation
THE WALLS WE HAVE BUILD
KEEP ON CLOSING IN
ISOLATION, THE GROWING DISTANCE
DESOLATION, WE’RE TRAPPED INSIDE
Can’t you feel, we’re slipping away
We turn a blind eye to the world
We stopped caring
Take of the blindfold
Relight our fire
Reconnect with the world
ISOLATION
DESOLATION
It’s a strange contradiction… We are more connected than ever before these days, with all our technology, but at the same time we’ve never been further away from each other. We’re getting more and more individualistic every day. A good development? I don’t know…
