Hunting Immortality
This has been a long and rocky road... but here we are. Adding lyrics and some other info about the album and the songs here. Gradually.
The New Renaissance
Lyrics
Walls are everywhere and I'm searching for my way around
Till that angry dog comes straight to me I throw it around the wall and hope for silence
But it turned out to be part wolf part lion, blue lighttrails as it's tail
And it disappears with a bang and all that is left seems to be some mist and smoke
Walking out to the street, seeking way through rainy wind
I see a group of old people walking
They seem so scary and so out of this world that I know
And everyone's ripping stones, and, poles, off the ground
CHANGING DIMENSIONS
We swing through space and time with this rope made of smoke
And fly to a plane hidden in our perceived world of dust
Everything is smooth and calmful, walls are made of the oldest paper
Dimensions are relevant no more and we live renaissance again
BACK TO REALITY
This was the first "serious" song I made. It also has special place in my heart because this was the first one that got recommended for someone by someone else than myself.
Imagine
Lyrics
Hidden hand is grabbing me
Around the heart
Around the neck
Dark force, unseen, restricting me
Silent voices telling me
You are too late – just wait some more
Distressing scenes inside my head
Unpleasant feeling
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
WHEN ALL YOUR DREAMS ARE TAKEN AWAY BY FATE
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
WHEN YOUR FRIENDS SURPASS YOU IN EVERY WAY
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
WHEN EVERYTHING YOU'VE TRIED HAS FAILED
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
I DON'T NEED TO, ANYMORE
No happy endings, every day
Is getting darker, slipping away
All of my time just passes by
You will never make it...
Is timelessness really so bad?
I would never need to be sad...
Is suffering better than nothing?
Transcend the void
To the other side
All waiting is in vain
There is the finish line
Why wait?
Why wait...
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
WHEN ALL YOUR DREAMS ARE TAKEN AWAY BY FATE
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
WHEN YOUR FRIENDS SURPASS YOU IN EVERY WAY
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
WHEN EVERYTHING YOU'VE TRIED HAS FAILED
IMAGINE HOW IT FEELS
I DON'T NEED TO, ANYMORE
My main musical goal is that in the future when a person types "imagine" in a song search field, this one comes first.
I think it is good to set long time horizon for your targets.
Nothing Is Enough
Lyrics
I haven't eaten this day, just noticed it few moments ago
I feel no hunger no pain, I pretty much don't care too much about
Anything, I do what I do, what I don't I won't, I can't get those done
I have more important things right now, without this everything will be gone
I do not know if it's inside my head or is it outside
And I do not know which one I would like to be true
All the little things are getting slowly bigger and bigger inside my head
I do not have perspective anymore, is this already too much
Without anything to compare I feel like I'm drifting away from safer waters
And entering something totally different and
DANGEROUS
But I want to keep on going forward to find out what could be the next stop on my endless journey
I have already seen so much different things and I always want to keep seeing more
Nothing is enough
JUMP
You're going
DOWN
Speed is more important than clean pronounciation
QuickOutside
The most chaotic C-part. The melody is floating in the wall of sound, stading it's ground...lessness.
I Miss You
Lyrics
You moved so far away from me
And I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I believe everything is fine
And I think you did the right thing
But still sometimes
I wish you were here
CHORUS
Oooh, sometimes it feels so empty
Without you
I miss you
I MISS YOU
When we are slowly growing up
Some good stuff is left behind
But that's not reason to get dull
Cause something new is always going right
We have to get up, pick up, write up, found out
Do that, it is what, it's, always been about
And right now it is time to break the limits one more time
Some days are better, and some are worse for me
Anxiety around is getting huge sometimes
It doesn't matter, because, allways, when it's, hard
I can recall good times
And I remember what made us so special
This is one of the more lyric driven songs. And it also features shuffle.
Invasive
I aimed for fast paced and heavy sound here. The song got its birth after I read a critic of Norwegian salmon farming practices. The song name comes from a description of my music heard from my dear musician friend.
Can your speakers play the Herta?
Frogman
This is a small nod to the older songs, letting go of the seriousness for a moment and just working towards a nice, forward going song. The lyrics are focused on rhymes and rhytmic impact more than a deeply touching story. It contains samples gathered from late night voice messages.
Can you hear the mouse?
Machine Gun Rocket Launcher
Something that probably should not be built.
Inspiration came from uncomfortable dream back in the mechanical engineering days. The song had lyrics, but they were never good enough to make it to the album. Song version can be found from live recordings.
Capra ibex
They made a very deep impression on me. This is them jumping up and down a massive dam.
tina sose PaKu
I seek redemption with this song.
Kutsuhuudot
Lyrics
You didn't respond...
And some more whispering
Why not make a melody with every note but A#
Whisper with brickwall compression is good enough for vocals, especially if you record them at 2 AM
Hunting Immortality
This is the main goal.
