In the shadows of the room
I can see yours
Thrown on a carpet that looks like velours
Dash my illusion
When pain is failing
I’m longing to be nobody
Almost like it’s physical
When you touch the gloom
Is it strange the animal
Does not want to escape
Dash my illusion
Such a fool
If you stay in the gloom
And there’s a lot you can do
If you stay in the room
Such a fool
If you stay in the gloom
When pain is failing
I’m longing to be nobody
Almost like it’s physical
When you touch the gloom
And I disappear
In the scenery

Bad News for Batman
02:50

Not only you
Is a winner now
Not only you
Our carers, even our jailers
This is bad news for Batman
What’s left of your confidence is for iron hands
He functions in areas where we can’t
’Cause he is the man
Everybody is a winner now
Lubricate the machine
This is bad news for Batman
A phantom that’s not visible but it’s aware
Change your changeable mind
Every time you’re nasting
From a piece of common sense
Every time you’re nasting
From a piece of common sense
Snag the stone and take it home
Every time you are nasting
From a piece of common sense

Headquarter

While we look at each other
I give what I get from you and take it too
There are two liars in this room
Being innocent is beautiful
Give me space for a headquarter in my heart
Where you and me fit in and can live apart
Blame it on Eve
She’s what you believe
She became a thieve
’Cause she was listening to her needs
When evil appears in a friendly shape
I don’t care
I’m reaching for the apples and the grapes
There are two liars in this room
Being innocent is beautiful
Give me space for a headquarter in my heart
Where you and me fit in and can live apart

Winter

You and I are left in the cold
I give my love a rest
The wind blows fast enough
Pearls on ice are galvanized
Will roll
While snow falls
Stripped down
See it like it is
Stripped down
On the barren ground
It is the winter wind
That makes us feel so cold
A crack in the ice
We’re put on hold
Pearls on ice are galvanized
Will roll
Money is like snow
Winter came suddenly
Disappears way too slow
Keep me tight and I feel save
It’s cold, cold, cold
Pearls on ice are galvanized
Will roll, roll, roll
Winter came suddenly
Disappears way too slow
You and I are left in the cold
I give my love a rest
The wind blows fast enough
Pearls on ice are galvanized
Will roll
While snow falls
Money is like snow
Winter came suddenly
Disappears way too slow
Keep me tight and I feel save
It’s cold, cold, cold
Pearls on ice are galvanized
Will roll, roll, roll
Winter came suddenly
Disappears way too slow

Learning from the other
Able to more than you think
But you can’t decide
You can decide
In the distance is in front of my eyes
I am so tired of things that are impossible
One step to you
One step back
See the future in the gap
On the river with the hills on the other side
Something you are doing right
Soak up your desire
Soak up someone you admire
And your view is wide
On the river’s other side
Soak up someone you admire
Soak up your desire
Soak up your desire

From You to Me

Oxygen is on the phone again
Above our heads a frame of lines
And an empty space
Wave patterns, wave trails
Stay connected, stay connected
On your own
In the whole
Vacate from the vacuum
Is this a test
Another request
Is this a test
And I try and I try
To follow that line
And I try and I try
A dancer
On a halo
A hallucination
Vacate from the vacuum
Fancy dresses and sunglasses
This is how I like you best
Cover your face in an empty space
Wave patterns, wave trails
This chaos seems organized
Just another one in my mind
Vacate from the vacuum

White leather
Is a cold hand
On naked skin
White leather
And now I’m with you
It feels like forever
Pleasure is the pain
I want you
You
You
’Cause without you
I fall
I fall forever
Pleasure is the pain
I want you
You
You
’Cause without you
I fall forever
Savage inside
Running wild
I don’t want to lose you
I see I failed
breath in the break
Comfort me but don’t try to tame
Savage inside
Running wild
And much to hide
Comfort me but don’t try to tame

We’re staring at the sea
Staring at its infinite
And you stand next to me
Imagine things are gonna be easy
I see a turning point and no brake
Let it have its way for its own sake
Never say it’s enough
In the twilight state
I see a turning point and no brake
Attracted by the infinite
It’s the crash within without you
Everywhere it’s a nation
We are staring at the sea
Staring at its infinite
Another change to get lost
Imagine things are gonna be easy

Way Out
01:47
|
|||
|
Should I listen to your call
Like a whistle very loud
I’m slinking to the centre
Slinking to the way out
You don’t have to take what is handed
Is this really what you want
Do you really want to push me
Catching up in the centre
Excluding the means
Be careful now, you know how it feels
You see what it does to me
Get lost underground
And go round, round, round
Let in, let it out, let it be
Fit the punishment to the crime
There are more ways to meet
At the same time

Duplicated
Where’s my original
Everything in two
A witness to what you do to me
A frantic plaything
A frantic plaything
I never regret what I do
Am I ever sure
I’m never alone
A frantic plaything
Flies on your wing
I like playing
And you are very entertaining
Original when you are true
And guilty too
Duplicated
Duplicated
A frantic plaything
A frantic plaything
I never regret what I do
I am never sure
I am never alone
A frantic plaything
Flies on our wing

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.
