Bearable Lightness of Being 02:52
lyrics
buy track
Smothered by idioms imposed on me Values unrelated with my beliefs I’m torn between two worlds I choose moderation as my golden path Misunderstood by all who show their wrath They fall into extremes And I just wanna use my mind The way I believe it, the way I believe it… People expect you to fit in a mould And if you fail to fit, they just throw you out They’re all bound to be losing, We’re all good to be hoping And I just wanna use my mind The way I believe it, the way I believe it And I just wanna lose my mind The way I believe it, the way I believe it's right and I feel it’s right So show me some understanding A bit of comprehension And just respect that I have my own opinion And I just wanna make it, just wanna make it ... Right The way i believe it.

Spirals in My Head 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Fire is burning And our hearts are yearning Summer's too hot Winter's been sold Fear is abounding Oh sovereignty of thoughts We’re going nowhere holed up as rats The fire is burning And our hearts are yearning Again and again Again till the end The city's in flames And our hearts are braised No one is listening no No one cares Sprirals spinning in our head Spirals Make us go why, why, wy? Spirals Stuffed as pigs In their ivory tower Somewhere or another Looking down on us Oh poor humans Still stuck down there Look at us, our masks have fallen We’re up in the air, up in the air Sprirals spinning in our head Spirals Make us go why, why, why? Spirals

Where Do We Go from Here 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Mother, where do we go from here? I need your guidance, make me feel There's so much love, there’s so much warmth There are no words, you are my home where I feel safe You’re always there, you always care You are always standing there with a smile in the wind Mother, where do we go from here? For I don't know what it is that we have achieved The world's gone mad, the world's insane everywhere and everything is falling apart But in your world there is no hatred, no, no ugliness, no hurt Mother, where do we go from here? Where do we go, where do we go from here? Mother, where do we go from here?

While We Watch the Horizon Sink 03:16
lyrics

Fever, waiting in line they’ re re-shaping our days Breathing till the bubble will burst We’re looking in ten thousand days What can i say, there's nowhere to go Or to run away, we re caught in a trap Are we here to stay? Straight lines are blurry We can't see, they float Illusions are clouding our sight Sinking horizon Over the shadows Our fate is sealed, or we think so? What can i say, there's nowhere to go Or to run away, we re caught in a trap Are we here to stay? Freaking, silence, deeper Crawling, slowly, faster, out

Let's Start a War 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Let's start a war Against everything that we abhor Let's start a fight And make it right if you don't mind Let's start a war ahaaa Let's be the queens, be the soldiers, the cavaliers Let's try to make them sing until they tear Let's start a war, let's start a war... A war of Love Let's march ahead With our banners in the wind Let's be the thread Oh I m sure we ll win Let's start a war, start a war A war of Love We've marched ahead, our heads up high Only to be met by your disdain Your violence, your... Your hideous-ness exploded in our face In the quiet of our sacred homes But we ‘re still standing In this war, this war of love

Absolution 04:13
lyrics
buy track
There are things that are better left unsaid There are things better left unheard But there are secrets that need to be unveiled Glad my heart won't let me down (no it won't let me down) I feel it's all gonna be ok I think it's all gonna find its way No need to be upset Leave it all to God... Help me out, help me out, help me out Help me out from these complications Let it out, let it out, let it out Let out the cry of absolution, absolution Some days I walk through the forest (of my thoughts) Some days I keep my mouth shut (if I want) Some days it's too hard to breathe (but I still do) Some days I wake up and it's all we need to do Help me out, help me out, help me out Help me out from these complications Let it out, let it out, let it out Let out the cry of absolution, absolution

Silent Leaders 03:14

Things gone bad / And we’re all mad Things gone down / And we’re all done Silent leaders will rise The world’s a mess / Brings distress The world's a mess / don’t digress Silent leaders don't lie Silent leaders stand high We sing our heart / We sing our soul We sing our mind / We sing it all We save our hearts / We save our souls We save our mind / We save it all Silent leaders will fight Silent leaders don't cry Silent leaders still fight Silent leaders don't die

Wake Up 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Wake up Don’t lie In fact don't pretend To be what you are not Get up Realize Nothing’s ever gonna be The way it was Don’t waste In vain, be aware Of all your chains... Then you roll the dice Double sixes again I rest my case Wake up Wake up, stand up, make up your mind You run You do whatever you can Close your eyes (And hold) Be well, be you It's all in the mind Then you heal Wake up Wake up, stand up, make up your mind And I knew I could turn the tide And make it last (for one more ride) And when I try the day it dies I will be whole (and let it pass) And when I cry isn’t it right To say I m strong ?

about

It is an intense and colorful collection of songs exploring dream & indie pop, rock & folk. It delves into emotions felt while going through dystopian, surrealistic times as was the case these past two years worldwide, and especially in Lebanon. From protests and the hope they carried to Covid restrictions & lockdown blues, from the Beirut port explosion and the meltdown of a country to spiritual awakening and a new, transformed perspective on things.
