Dark Dream 02:35
You redefine me, redefine me In the parts that I denied In your exclusive dream Say it’s only me that you see And I don’t agree That something can come in between It makes me cry inside When things become someone And lead their own lives Who knows what’s true In between all those lies This love is having its own time Every time you Are passing by You make me happy Until we say goodbye It makes me cry inside When things become someone And lead their own lives Who knows what’s true In between all those lies This love is having its own time Our bleeding hearts Are set apart We had a false start And I don’t agree That something can come in between And I don’t agree Say it’s only me that you see

Reunion 03:06
Don’t you forget The promise you made Grand words were created With your own voice What was I for you These are the things you can’t ignore You were given the choice Like a chameleon You change your colours Don’t become like the others No one speaks the full truth Stay true Here we go again We’re caught in a trap ’cause we fooled them And I won’t forget to remind you What was I for you I don’t even know if I can rely on myself We were given a voice Tangled up it won’t let you go The past always comes back to haunt you Still you try find to find back what you lost I start to lose my patience Like a chameleon You change your colours Don’t become like the others No one speaks the full truth Stay true

Interruption 02:42
Nothing you do against your will Seduced by the fearful thrill of things unknown Scattered dreams are what you own What I think I think alone No more interruption No more interruption Moments turn into memories Get divided piece by piece Moments turn into memories Get divided piece by piece Would you help me when I need it most Drop everything regardless of its cost No reply, notify Moments turn into memories Get divided piece by piece Moments turn into memories Get divided piece by piece Scattered dreams are what you own What I feel I feel in my bones No more interruption No more interruption It’s just another empty phrase That gives space To wonder of And I wonder of I wonder of

Elusive Girl 03:10
Without feeling some regret And without looking ahead He wants to hold her, the girl is smooth Hold her, the girl is smooth She’s doing him good That’s why he wants to believe her She’s doing him good She’s doing him good While the poison flows through his blood She’s doing him good She’s sliding through the grass She just missed an arrow He goes where she goes Who is hunting who Changing his mood Changing his mood
5.
She’s one of a kind There is a pair of us She’s not easy to find We’re two, and you are you Traits do have some elasticity You do it for the one you’re not meant to be Her world can come crashing down On top of you You know
6.
If you say there is no other way There is no escape Wait and see I’m not ready, I’m not ready We are water We are oxygen The spirit of nature Created man You and me As different as we want to be No decline I see the lines blur and the skyline fades You can’t push someone to believe Forever on the sideline The ocean The mountains The river
7.
Clouds 02:09
Day by day clouds drift by Ride the wind At the other side of the sky Day by day clouds drift by They’re coming closer And I let it all go Until someone will show me the way Undecided And if you can turn everything around I’ll float above Without ever coming down From there I count down There’s a gap between is and should And all that I would do if I were you Undecided Day by day clouds drift by Ride the wind At the other side of the sky
8.
In the lee the surface is pretending To be wrinkle free Next to the mirror of your face In an open space We drift motionless on the lake No guarantees With you sitting next to me All of it just in theory Let me stay out of it Even when it’s a perfect fit No guarantees With you sitting next to me All of it just in theory
9.
I feel like I don’t want to feel The way that you do, the way that you do It seems so real, it seems so real No fear of pain Don’t say we collide You win that fight I don’t want to feel the way you do ’Cause enough is enough Maybe you’re not changed It is me Captured in our memories You don’t want to lose the game But it hurts all the same Enough is enough With new horizons to pursue I feel like I don’t want to feel The way that you do, the way that you do
10.
Free formed thoughts meet control machines Your smile makes me believe Plenty of nothing to make you feel at ease No you’re not a thief No you’re not alone in your dreams Gravity I feel it now It feeds the need No man is an island Nothing can compete The world that’s yours is mine A house of cards you could destroy With a single blow How could I know It meets the expectation Feeds the need No man is an island Nothing can compete You’re my guy Without purpose There’s no need to define Will you give a cue We almost came close I never knew you

Infralight 02:30
To forget is the hardest part Take your time to let go off And see what’s behind And recover In the red we’re still ahead With feelers out to discover Compound eyes For them we are blind Compound eyes For them we are blind They do describe An elaborate design A system that’s secure Time after time Compound eyes For them we are blind Infralight We navigate by sight
12.
A Novelty 01:34
She shook, shook, shook him Shook him to the core Shake, shake, shake me It proved unwise to ignore Share all that you explore Share all that you explore Share all that you explore How can you give any more A flaring temper Good intentions A cold shower She’s a wildflower Share all that you explore Share all that you explore Share all that you explore How can you give any more A novelty

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.
