Trembling earth under an open sky I just read about it I can’t do anything ’Cause I’m a wasted child Why don’t you just get away It’s 'cause you never know if it’s what they say For them it’s too late Learn to help yourself and go You’re driving me, driving me in my car Be my carrier now You drive too fast and I want to get out You’re driving me, driving me in my car You drive too fast and I can’t get out I want to get out What’s far away is getting close I see a uniformly blue wall And I hesitate I’m never faking one of those Senior sensations Senior sensations Are sincerely taking me here You are driving me, driving me in my car You drive too fast and I want to get out You are driving me, driving me in my car Be my carrier now I want to get out

No case, no crime In a suspicious mind the worst happened Will you give up, will you try Will you give in Now I’m lost in signs Hope lives where hesitation slumbers In a spider’s web She knows what she’s gonna get All those dead bodies in my dreams Disturb my sleep I’m not the girl you were talking about I’m just an example and I thought you were still around It’s a glorious death that it had But that doesn’t convince me of your innocence It’s a mystery that still lives in me Between all those dead bodies Now I’ve learnt things that I don’t wanna know Don’t stop to hope against hope Now I’ve learnt things that I don’t wanna know I am no victim, no detective Not suspecting nor neglecting Hope lives where hesitation slumbers In a spider’s web She knows what she’s gonna get She is waiting, she is debating She got long legs And she’s got you It’s a mystery that still lives in me Between all those dead bodies Don’t stop to hope against hope Now I’ve learnt things that I don’t wanna know Don’t stop to hope against hope A-a-ah A-a-ah

It happens to be in the game Do you see the same Another dark horse in the race That wants to escape Words go were they want to Figure out your blinds Words go were they want to And I can’t afford to mind Light blind for dark intentions And wrapped in the silence I heard a voice insisting I am existing and I want you near In between planets is the best thing To have you here I’m not in your position But I’m in a flow Let’s stop serving the answers Words go where they want to go Light blind for dark intentions And wrapped in the silence It happens to be in the game Do you see the same Another dark horse in the race That wants to escape

Cars 02:33
There’s aggression in your blood Of aggression in the flood Gonna skip the rest And experience a huge emptiness That you can’t possess That you can’t possess Hand it over to me Hand it over to the mass Planes and cars can cross the stars Gonna skip the rest to clear all distress Hand it over to the mass That you can’t possess That you can’t possess Think cars Think numbers Think stars Think people Think fast Think cars And over the years I saved crocodile tears Planes and cars Cross the stars There’s aggression in the flood You can’t possess The emptiness

Minor Flaw 03:52
Thirty seconds is not enough Display what’s fake and what is good I see a minor flaw In something beautiful Institutions provide solutions Very conscious of my looks There’s an urge to improve If you are your own rival And beat the flaw There is an urge to improve If you are your own rival And very conscious I refuse to take advantage I’m going virtual Display what’s fake And move in the break Do you wanna be her And beat the flaw I refuse to take advantage I’m going virtual Do you want to be her And beat the flaw One with different names I like them all Be all the ones at once I’m going virtual There’s an urge to improve If you are your own rival Do you want to be her And beat the flaw

Withdrawn 03:11
Once we come closer to the bow It moves away The further we go it withdraws Everything seems strange The air widens One day I’ll get close What is silver worth when you are looking for gold Keep postponing like we never get old A minute seems forever in the rain And I’ll stay This is where the rainbow ends It makes me aware of who I am Let’s unite, let’s unite Our fears and our pride When colours come together It seems like it’s now or never The rainbow keeps on moving And I see what I can’t Alone in my room I’m writing to strangers Tell them the best things are only for a while Feel familiar and an alien The rain is painted And teardrops glow

Once my eye caught your eye And I saw you walk In black and white I’m not sure if you saw me What happened to my feelings All that’s is private is meant to be shared And stare at you, I stare at you A camera is like an eye You never say goodbye We don’t know each other and we don’t care Invisible present but you were not aware Invisible but present all the time I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine ’Cause I know how to find you What happened to my feelings We don’t know each other and we don’t care Invisible present but you were not aware

Police Song 02:44
When you are like the police to me It does not suit you Endeavor to endear Before you’re running out of love If you never chose clear You start to lose your brightness I want to gain ’cause I’m afraid to lose And stand aside Now you’ve got the key and I’m unlocked Don’t hide it Endeavor to endear Before you’re running out of love If you never chose clear You start to lose your brightness Unlocked Opening up too soon I can’t get a hold on you I can be like you too Like the police tomorrow Stop mixing up joy and sorrow I’ve got a leak inside I just try to please Instead of being right I want to gain ’cause I’m afraid to lose And stand aside Now you’ve got the key that got me unlocked Give it back to me Endeavor to endear Before you’re running out of love If you never chose clear You start to lose your brightness

Intertwined 03:34
Looking for a resemblance With my little princess Strangers of one body are intertwined Growing towards the other Do you dream against your conscience No definition for what’s unknown All is done And for you everything is a first experience You are breathing fast and making contact You’re very compact Activate my system You are very compact and breathing fast And making contact, making contact Every day another dress I lay on low While you’re making contact And curl up in a smile When I press you on my chest And you are breathing fast Are making contact Once separated Getting used to the new situation Everything is a first time For strangers that are intertwined What looks breakable is flexible And I lay on low While you curl up in a smile Strangers that are intertwined

The girl comes in on tippy toes Puts off her shoes Where she goes is home She whirls around And knows what she does When she confuses the place What took you so long Come on and show your grace Anybody can play With a soul that can change Who she is dancing for Glitter and glamour With glittering eyes she tries To set the room alight Anybody can beat anybody With a soul that can change All she wants she want now She whirls around And knows what she does When she confuses the place I warned you What’s in the mood Is tomorrow left with the shoes With glittering eyes she tries To set the room alight Anybody can beat anybody With a soul that can change Who is she dancing for

A & A 02:34
Laws that are made to express Won’t keep me occupied Never black out my light Sinking in views Sinking in the flames Fizz out like a dumb squib Your fuel is on fire Your fuel is on fire We’ve got something in common To keep an eye on Everything suits in a perfect fit Your fuel is on fire Your fuel is on fire Watch your six All those layers are fading out A and A and A and A A and A and A and A Let’s go back to the basics Fuel the flame and let it fizz By laws that are made to express And you can’t skip A and A and A and A A and A and A and A Let’s go back to the basics Say if you mean sometimes

Last Ride 04:57
It’s a lonely ride In the desert that’s very dry Did the wind forecast At the party of the past A folly would be an inspiration Dreams are visions now The limit is expired The limit is expired It’s the last ride In the desert that’s very dry Did the wind forecast At the party of the past And the sun will rise If it keeps you going It’s alright If it keeps you going If it keeps you going it keeps you going If it keeps you going it’s alright Your chain is a silver wire Your chain is a silver wire This is the last ride This is the last ride
14.
Sorrow, don’t come unexperienced Don’t pretend it was a surprise It’s a together of more of the same In the name of pride Tomorrow is an unknown that we can’t compare Am I truly ashamed It’s a together of more of the same In the name of care And if I could hook in where we started To destroy what would I create Is that why we feel estranged In the name of fate

about

Labasheeda Amsterdam, Netherlands

Growling, dynamic stuff here from the Netherlands. Labasheeda make intelligent but not emotionless, angular rock music; it's a brooding sound
with touchstones in the post rock (some gorgeous violin playing in parts) and post-hardcore camps. singer Saskia van der giessen in forlorn almost-romantic vocals which sound all the more sharp set to a back ground
of foreboding guitar chimes.
