A thousand years asleep under a heavy blanket of ice
She’s got zero experience, but she wants to do it right
Become a body with a breath of life
Most solutions, they hide in plain sight
Don’t rush
Don’t rush
Don’t rush
You better think twice
Is this all there is
Ignorance is bliss
What comes next
Don’t know what you’ll miss
What’s gone is gone and won’t come back
Justify your demands, justify your demands
Justify your demand
So keep on track, before it gets out of hand
Justify your demands, justify your demands
Justify your demand
Don’t rush
Don’t rush
Don’t rush
You better think twice
Wake up, but not in paradise
Ain’t it nice, ain’t it nice
Kissed awake at the wrong time
She is one of a kind
Ain’t it nice
Wake up, but not in paradise
What a surprise

Closure

You’ve been held back for so long
Visualize the unseen
Things are not always what they seem
I was carried away by the stream
It’s about you getting closure
Do you think of me
It’s about you getting closure
Every time you reinvent yourself
You put it down in a movement
In a moment of victory
It’s an illusion that you cannot bend
It’s about you getting closure
Hold on to that dream
It’s about you getting closure
Do you think of me
Honesty knows no mercy
Do you still think of me
Duplicate our memories
And they look stunning
An unwritten agreement we made with ourselves
Just like I was someone else
Honesty knows no mercy
Do you still think of me

It’s an unequal fight
The city takes over
When I surrender
You’ll be right
I’m not withdrawing
Full of the moon
I’ll see you soon
It’s all fetched
Far too far ahead
It started before
Things seem too bright
You keep it quiet
And I want more
I’m not withdrawing
Full of the moon
I’ll see you soon
It’s all fetched
Far too far ahead
Should I be grateful
Same place
Same situation
And I keep myself quiet
When I surrender you’ll be right
Should I be grateful
Same place
Same situation
There’s always a reason to be afraid
And I don’t want to downgrade
I’m the one you need to persuade

Homeless

So connected to places you’ve never been
Because we pass everything on
Related to family you’ve never seen
The blueprints are all drawn
You’ve got a dream that I can’t lend
This home will never be home
But I’m your friend
Just give me a hand
And maybe we can meet at the end
Sensitive to situations
In which you’ve never been
Just trace your loss
Maybe one day our ways will cross
Now decline the call
And draw a line
You’ve got a dream that I can’t lend
This home will never be home
But I’m your friend
Just give me a hand
And maybe we can meet at the end
No attempt to deceive
In which memories you believe
Which’s the one you want to delete
Would you mind what you would find
Would you mind, would you mind

Be careful what you wish for
It might come true
And I’m as curious as you are
The masterplan you believe in
Has never been completed
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
Bring back the joy
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Wide and blue is the ceiling
An empty sky
What makes us fly under the sun
We’ve just begun
Always rising ever upward
Now we let the situation run its course
Get off your throne
Bring back the joy
Don’t be so hard on yourself

You reacted like a stranger and I wondered why
Still crazy about you, I won’t deny
Where’s the oneness gone
And the tenderness that you showed sometimes
Do you still accuse me that I kept trying
I almost trusted you blind
We are stranded with limited resources
In another galaxy
I volunteered to stay behind
We were truly
Truly daring to each other
Guilty of caring too much
Sharing our vanity
You reacted like a stranger, even sidelined me
Let them talk, who do you believe
The real danger is the power of grief
Now turn a new leaf

It’s not very likely to happen
So why does it feel so real
When the thoughts are getting stronger and stronger
It’s your time that they steal
Are you ready to break the barrier
I’ll be there to set you free
Imprisoned voluntary
Once you cannot resist the commands any longer
You let them thrive
By showing you my empathy
I just kept the spell alive
Normal things are getting less and less self-evident
When is this going to end
Ignore your shame
Nothing matters, nothing is the same
I’ll be there to set you free
Imprisoned voluntary
Now that you’ve gone this far
You have to go through it
Is this the liberation
Stop putting it all on rotation
No more commands
The future in your hands
Is this the liberation

You are the way I was
So I know I have to be careful
I won’t go for more
Remember how it was before
You try me out, ignore my doubt
I gave you permission
Some of our assumptions we should shatter
Live to see the day
I think we have changed for the better
I won’t look away
A purple shade
Are you afraid that dreams will fade
And we’ll get stuck in our ways
Some of our assumptions we should shatter
Live to see the day
I think we have changed for the better
I did it my way
Flutter away
Another unconscious moment of pain
Remove the stain, remove the stain
Remove the stain, remove the stain
One of a thousand exceptions that I made for you
The threat is still existing
Some things you can’t undo

The feeling is all wrong, the desire is too strong
Do you think you can get away with it
One day you’ll pay the price
Now it’s time to break the ice
Sometimes you have to move around the obstacles
Be warned when there’s a lack of shame
Truth is an option, you’ve got your aim
There is bound to be a controversy
So where shall we meet
In a world that’s obsolete
Tie up any loose end
Once you bend you become breakable
A heart so black always will bounce back
There is bound to be a controversy
So where shall we meet
In a world that’s obsolete
A lie is no lie when it is multi-interpretable
Truth is an option, no one is replaceable
Our versions no longer align
And I will keep it with mine
It’s a roller coaster, I feel like I’m losing ground
’Cause we’ll keep going round and round
It’s all your fit
Until you feel like it
It’s a roller coaster
Never forget, never forgive
No lie will live forever
Master the rules before you break them
The feeling is all wrong, the desire is too strong
Do you think you can get away with it
One day you’ll pay the price
Now it’s time to break the ice
Sometimes you have to move around the obstacles

What Remains Is Love

It’s never too late
We are never in time
Running after ourselves
’Cause we can’t wait
What remains is, what remains is
Love, love
It’s like we look at ourselves
From above
With our feet down on the ground
Compromises are easily found
You’ve got enough
You’ve got enough
It’s pride that acts so unkind
A force undefined
Find its source
What’s decided
Eliminate your doubts
It’s pride that acts so unkind
It’s the way we are designed
All that we deny stays undefined
It’s pride
What remains is love

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.
