In Theory

Because in theory, it should come naturally
Good intentions, love, respect and peace
Because in theory, it should come naturally
Special places for all the pieces
Oil in robots’ wheels
Because in theory, we know with certainty
Two and two is four no doubts about this
Because in theory, we know with certainty
There’re no angles in a circle, ghosts are not for real
But there’s the blackout theory
Your heart bursts and you feel
Like your worst enemy
Try to resist but see, it’s stronger than me
Blackout theory
Your heart bursts and you feel
Like your worst enemy
Try to resist but see, it’s stronger than me
Yeah cause the blackout theory
A strong dark energy
Explosed all what you’ve been
There’s no more theory for me
Because in theory, we sometimes hope to be
Someone better but in fact we cheat
Because in theory, we always hope to see
An escape from all the problems, we could learn to heal
But there’s the blackout theory
Your heart bursts and you feel
Like your worst enemy
Try to resist but see, it’s stronger than me
Blackout theory
Your heart bursts and you feel
Like your worst enemy
Try to resist but see, it’s stronger than me
Yeah cause the blackout theory
A strong dark energy
Explosed all what you’ve been
There’s no more theory for me
In theory a fairy tale,
An ever lasting fairy tale
Where evil fails and good prevails
With happy ends on a global scale
But in practice happiness is factice
They're trying to corrupt us based on market analysis
Who the hell is this
Telling us what’s best for us with theories
In practice we are left with history books
And conspiracy facts for all to see
But we decide to blind ourselves
Climb on top of each other
To reach higher social status
And expend our wealth
Selling and buying
Even thought we know that major corps are all liars
We keep living the dream
We keep living the dream
But you’re living in a dream
Oh there’s the Blackout theory
Your heart bursts and you feel
Like your worst enemy
Try to resist but see, it’s stronger than me
Oh Yeah cause the blackout theory
A strong dark energy
Explosed all what you’ve been
There’s no more theory for me
Because in theory we all want to be happy
But we’re still fascinated by fatal diseases
Yes in theory we should fear guns and armies
But we scared of beeing defenceless and free
Oh yes in theory
Yeah in theory
This is just theory
You just give me the theory
But you tricked me

Eight Men
04:00
|
|||
|
Hey
Cold an wet, this jail’s gonna kill me
Simply have a bad feeling
Not sure we gonna make it this time
Even if we call, I realize we’re locked in
And you’ll never hear about us
Cause we’re
Eight men in the dark
Like wasted hungry sharks
Two hands plunged in oily doubts, we go on
The only way to reach the light in fact
The only way to reach the light in fact
The time has come to leave this cage now
We’ll go below
Or we all gonna die behind these walls
With no one to see it
But I don’t wanna know why, why we’re here, for how long
I only wanna know how to dig
Until we reach the sun for real
Until we reach the sun for real
Eight men in the dark
Like wasted hungry sharks
Two hands plungged in oily doubts, we go on
The only way to reach the light in fact
The only way to reach the light in fact
Cause when you hope that much
Yeah when you hope too much
You become a prisoner
If you want to leave, it ain’t as easy as you thought
Forget your ideal just feel what is real
Keep diggin in your soul
Until you reach it and breathe again

Oh tell me what the hell is this for
Tell me what the hell is this for
Oh tell me what the hell is this for
I have no idea where it comes from
The shape is weird but I found it in my home
Hope it ain’t a dirty trick
It even wobbles when I squeeze on it oh!
It looks so complicated
Which way does it go? Is it fake?
But when I shake it baby,
It suddenly makes little sounds, I’m worried.

Wanna what the hell is this for
I Wanna know what the hell is this for

Oh you know I’m curious have to try it
Maybe we should open it but
How to be sure it’s not dangerous honey?
It looks so complicated
Which way does it go? Is it fake?
But when I shake it baby,
It suddenly makes little sounds, I’m worried
So tell me what is inside

Use my head but still can’t make this out
Gonna lose it, I’ll be crazy or a fool
If I don’t figure the real use of this tool aaah
When I push it makes a click
This (aah) thing was not on my wish list (aah)
Well its a question of practice (aah)
Gotta dig in the box forget the rest! Test it! (aah)
Gotta take chances live your life and enhance it (aah)
Take a pawn and advance it until you nail it down (aah)
Test test test it cause the minute you take it (aah)
If the shit goes down, up, around
You gotta know that

Merry-Go-Round
04:04
|
|||
|
First I’m gliding on the ground
Then I’m turning round and round
Yeah I know the way by heart
On top
I wish I was rising up
It’s an illusion cause we stop
Someone gets upon my black old back
And then we start again, the same old track
Oh I’ll leave the ground
Gonna take my time
I’m ready in my mind
I’ll leave the merry-go-round
Don’t stop me no
Cause one day I’ll leave the ground
Over all this crowd
Higher than the clouds
I’ll leave the merry-go-round
I need to be free
No
No it never was my goal
A stupid pole piercing my soul
An awful music rocks my days
Mmmh now
That my colors flake away
The old nag’s tired and won’t play
New games will be around the bay
An there I’ll spread my wings to fly away
Oh I’ll leave the ground
Gonna take my time
I’m ready in my mind
I’ll leave the merry-go-round
Don’t stop me no
Cause one day I’ll leave the ground
Over all this crowd
Higher than the clouds
I’ll leave the merry-go-round
Don’t stop me no
Cause one day I’ll leave the ground
Over all this crowd
Higher than the clouds
Yeah one day I’ll leave the ground
Yeah one day I’ll leave the ground
I’ll leave the merry-go-round

Sleeping for Ages
03:37
|
|||
|
It could be early or late I couldn’t say
Hear the rain
It’s warm and so peaceful in my head
Far from simulators’ traps
I’m home and safe
Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
Sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
It’s till the same
Oh Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
Sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
I’m gonna see again
Deep inside my bed my legs
My back, my shoulders and my head
Are sinking in the haze
I fight, I scream at all my demons
Grief turns into sensual visions oh oh
Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
Sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
It’s still the same oh
Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
Sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
I’m gonna eat again
Easy easy yes it is, easy easy when you sleep, easy easy
Your intimate world
It’s easy easy, it’s just so easy easy
When you’re dreaming
Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
Sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
It’s still the same oh
Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
I’m gonna stand again
Been sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
Sleeping for ages and I don’t know when
I’m gonna live again

No Fear, No Bravery
03:03
|
|||
|
Heroes stand and take it on
And superheroes never move back they overcome
Yet a cold sweat flows in their boots
At sunset rings the truth quietly when they shoot
You can believe in their strength
But you’d better trust their weakness
Better trust them cause they’re righteous
Where there’s no fear there’s no bravery
If your heart’s not beating faster
Your fight ain’t real, that’s the deal
Cowboys smoke cause they fear
The cosmic emptiness the void that haunts the human sphere
Warriors roar to free their minds
Of all the doubt inside and free their body of their ties
You stepped in just as you are
Shaking body with a will of steel
With your heart for only shield
Where there’s no fear there’s no bravery
If your heart’s not beating faster
Your fight ain’t real, that’s the deal
Where there’s no fear there’s no bravery
If your heart’s not beating faster
Your fight ain’t real, that’s the deal
Hey hey
Hey hey
Oh no
Oh no
If your fight ain’t real
That’s the deal

Haa

Ghosts and haze in a
Crystal bottle whirl and I
Try to catch them with my hand
But they keep turning turning unchained
It’s silly yeah
Seems so easy yet but I
I’m unable to pass the neck
Of that bloody glass bottle that hold the answer
Girl I know it’s rough
You’re not looking for the right stuff
You want the key of the shackle
Then you chose the right battle
Your dreams are true
Yeah girl it’s easy
It’s coming yo
Why do you do, why do you do this
For money, power, to reach a state of bliss
Is it for fun fun fun fun
Never never say it is for
Fun fun fun
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Fun fun fun fun)
(Fun fun fun)
Ghosts are brilliant
Mist is resiliant
Shadows know but never show tracks
Or cracks that lead to original pigments
I wanna know why and how
But I can’t break the phial
I can only drink what is inside
And let the potion work
Oh every element spread throughout my body
It heals, it heals me, yes it heals it really makes me live
So girl it’s now, don’t try to know how
Why do you do, why do you do this
For money, power, to reach a state of bliss
Is it for fun fun fun fun
Much more than fun fun fun

Spit It and Rewind
04:07
|
|||
|
Now see my structure
Feel the mechanism
Hear the squeak of the cog
As in mentalism
Visualize my purpose
The state I'm in
My entreprise nourishes souls
Amen! I mean men
Versus machine made by men
My plan is to make it as long as I can
Fulfill demands
Keep my bolts tight and my chain tensed
And then I might make it
To the end of the factory line
Poor old-fashioned engine
Your session’s ending
(Spit it and rewind)
(Spit it and rewind)
Cause your wheels are rusty
But damn your knowledge is worthy
(Spit it and rewind)
(Spit it and rewind)
You gotta spit it and rewind
It's been a century now
My factory is closed
Around me machinery
That is not that old
I wish I could do it all over
Start from scratch
My bolts are loose
My chain is off track
I need a mechanic to come
Help stretch my back
My engine might be old
But I'm still intact
In fact I am functional, fully functional
My creators don’t seem to be rational
Put me back to work
Full power to its maximum
Stop waisting my time
Give me back what’s mine
Let me spit it, spit it and re-rewind
Poor old-fashioned engine
Your session’s ending
(Spit it and rewind)
(Spit it and rewind)
Cause your wheels are rusty
But damn your knowledge is worthy
(Spit it and rewind)
(Spit it and rewind)
You gotta spit it and rewind
I’m falling appart, forgotten about
Piece by piece they're taking me out
I think this is it, they're pulling the plug
All system failure unable to log
I hear the sound of the trucks, the barking of a dog
Cockpit music comes from an Ipod
There is no use for me no more
I hear them say that at the door
That piece of crap's completely rusted
It's busted just throw it in the dumpster
It's totally wacked
But when I was a youngster, fit full of muscles
Was treated with respect by my operator Jack
I wish I could go back in time
And spit it, spit it and re-rewind
Poor old-fashioned engine
Your session’s ending
(Spit it and rewind)
(Spit it and rewind)
Cause your wheels are rusty
But damn your knowledge is worthy
(Spit it and rewind)
(Spit it and rewind)
You gotta spit it and rewind
Hey
Oh
Oh yeah yeah yeah

Stop the Killer
03:41
|

|
(Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey hey hey hey)
I’ve got an awfull story to tell you
For a while now a killer, a real demon’s been hanging around town
He looks for performers and kills them one by one
(Hey hey hey hey hey hey)
Stop the killer before he gets them all
Stop it before he shoots and shoots one more
See my boys out there are shaking cause they need somewhere to play
Take my pants, take my tv, take my car
But we need somewhere to play
Well you know, he can’t stop cause he longs for silence, for stillness
He can’t stand these fucking clowns who play with emotional notions
Perverting good people
(Hey hey hey hey hey hey)
Stop the killer before he gets them all
Stop it before he shoots and shoots one more
See my boys out there
Are shaking cause they need somewhere to play
Take my pants, take my tv, take my car
But we need somewhere to play
No please don’t do it
Cause we don’t deserve it
And you might love it
So come on and listen to me
It’s only music, we’re just asking for a place to play
Hum open your eyes, you don’t need to do this hum
You know our sound could ease the pain you feel
So drop your weapon and join us you can heal
Stop the killer before he gets them all
Stop it before he shoots and shoots one more
See my boys out there
Are shaking cause they need somewhere to play
Take my pants, take my tv, take my car
But we need somewhere to play yo
Allright well yo
A couple of years ago
Yes back in the days
We used to know how to party
Fuck rules we'd disobey
We used to go crazy
Geneva town was wild
A city full of squats
The spirit that built the underground
It's all history, the industry, political strategy
Sold the vibe and soul of our city for bigger profit
See, money is the key
Money makers make it here
Got no money, got no jewellery
Then you best get out of here
Get your acting, get your painting, get your music out of here
Cheap drinks, live bands
Mean cancelled licence out of here
This is what he’s been up to
Kill alternative culture
So please stop that killer right now
Stop the killer before he gets them all
Stop it before he shoots and shoots one more
See my boys out there
Are shaking cause they need somewhere to play
Take my pants, take my tv, take my car
But we need somewhere to play
(Stop the killer)
(Stop the killer)
(Stop the killer)
(Stop the killer)
(Stop the killer)
(Stop the killer)

Tous Tous Nus

I have thirty million friends
So many times I wonder how they
How they could be when they turn
The light off when their clothes are dropping
I mean that everybody seems
To feign and act like they never do it
Oh but I know it’s not enough to ease
My terrible curiosity
Dreams are haunted by naked creatures
They’re dancing in the middle of the preachers yeah
Take your clothes off
Don’t be ashamed
Forget our cliches as we all want the same
Take your clothes off
Take your clothes off
It’s simple when we’re finally naked
Take take take it off let’s get naked
This obsession’s weird I’m addicted
Oh no I can’t believe it so
You also take your tea with honey
Slow slow what makes you think yo
I’m just a little curious and I wanna know more
Yeah but I know we’re playing the same show
Behind the scene it’s hot and funny
Dreams are haunted by naked creatures
They’re dancing in the middle of the preachers
Take your clothes off
Don’t be ashamed
Forget our cliches as we all want the same
Take your clothes off
Take your clothes off
It’s simple when we’re finally naked
Take your clothes off
Don’t be ashamed
Forget our cliches as we all want the same
Take your clothes off
Take your clothes off
It’s simple when we’re finally naked
You show me mine and I’ll show you yours
Cause we’re up side down, but it’s our own choice
Ok I’ll show you yours and you, you show me mine
Cause you and me are really ready to fulfill our fantasy
We’re really really ready to fulfill our fantasy
Take your clothes off
Don’t be ashamed
Forget our cliches as we all want the same
Take your clothes off
Take your clothes off
It’s simple when we’re finally naked
Take your clothes off
Don’t be ashamed
Forget our cliches as we all want the same
Take your clothes off

After the Apocalypse
03:34
|

|
Open my eyes the day after the apocalypse
I had expected something better from the apocalypse
Noon and still the same boredom it’s the apocalypse
Still no ideals and no thrill, it’s sleazy, sleazy, sleazy
Ochre dawn has come
Winter’s feather’s glum
There’s no explosion, no fire, no judgement day
There’s still some human robots in a line who sway
Ochre dawn has come
Our lives go on and on
Open my eyes on the very next morning after the apocalypse
Expected fire, chaos or solar eclipse on the apocalypse
And then you call me on my cellphone and you let me know you're ok
With the apocalypse
Well if my end is by your side then the ride is really worth it on the apocalypse
So in confusion end appears as an illusion
The world can stop just as long as we're in fusion when my
Ochre dawn has come
Winter’s feather’s glum
There’re no explosions, no fire, no judgement day
There’re still some human robots in a line who sway
Ochre dawn has come
Our lives go on and on
Common imagination through times across the nations
I still believe that you and I have reached a new dimension
I still feel my emotions go up and down and in all directions
You are my inspiration, my love my living mission
So tell the world that they lied
Our love is still hard
And we were not expecting the apocalypse to be quiet
So hold my hand cause at the end when we stop moving
We can keep our love in movement
Nothing will slow our self-improvment
Ochre dawn has come
Winter’s feather’s glum
Yo I'm curious, is this really serious
Or do we need an end to not fall into deliriousness
Feeding ourselves with answers that are making no sense
Well, every age with its stories, tales and mystical quests
That's just how we put all our fears and doubts to rest
It's the apocalypse, you’ll be a witness
There’re no explosions, no fire, no judgement day
There’re still some human robots in a line who sway
Ochre dawn has come
Our love goes on and on
Our love goes on and on

Stop it’s enough you get to much on your shoulders, you bleed
Gonna protect you, I’m gonna fight all kind of monsters you fear
What ever you want, I’ll do everything everything everything that you will need
I’ll make a plane, a boat, I’ll invent something for you to feel free
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Straight through this crazy land
Driving you in my silver machine
Jump into my plane
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Far from this noisy strand
Driving you in my silver machine
Let’s get away from the pain
Like gold fever we’re addicted, we want more and more
Remind me every day, how this passion consumes what we are
It’s really really intense it gets to our brains through the flesh without rest
I know so
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Straight through this crazy land
Driving you in my silver machine
Jump into my plane
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Far from the noisy strand
Driving you in my silver machine
Let’s get away from the pain
Oh oh oh oh ooh
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Straight through this crazy land
Driving you in my silver machine
Jump into my plane
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Far from the noisy strand
Driving you in my silver machine
Let’s get away from the pain
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Driving you in my silver machine
I’m gonna take you in my silent machine
Driving you in my silver machine

I’m slowly clumping through a deep forest
The night is falling, I’m waiting for the hardest
I realize leeches suck my blood
My temples throb with a kind of scary thud
I killed a snake, cut a scorpion’s head
You see, I fight to survive along the river’s bed
I might be chased, might be seeking for someone’s head
No we don’t know
What’s behind waterfalls
A secret way, a cold brick wall
A hidden shelter for wandering souls
Oh no we don’t know
What’s behind waterfalls
Behind the roar, a deep dark hole
The perfect haven away from it all
Pricked by different species
Been bitten by hairy spiders, I
I’m running up river, nature seems to want
To see me abdicate right now
I swallow all the deceptions
Keep my dreams as my only light house
I’ll reach the big waterfall there
I have my goal in sight
No we don’t know
What’s behind waterfalls
A secret way, a cold brick wall
A hidden shelter for wandering souls
Oh no we don’t know
What’s behind waterfalls
Behind the roar, a deep dark hole
The perfect haven away from it all
Slowly go down to this cold and gloomy lake
The water’s breath, the deep thunder shake
A white rain falls like a million snow flakes
Swim and reach the heart of the giant, hit the bottom
lose the right direction, I might die, but no I get through, I reach the other side
I’m on the other side
I know
What’s behind waterfalls
A secret way, no cold brick wall
A hidden shelter for wandering souls
Oh yeah now I know
What’s behind waterfalls
Behind the roar, no deep dark hole
The perfect haven away from it all
Oh yeah you know I know
What’s behind waterfalls
Behind the roar, no deep dark hole
The perfect haven away from it all
Away from it all
