Lebanon has been going through one of the worst socio-economic crises. It feels like we are watching the horizon sink and the country with it. The airy vocals sustained by colorful synths tell about how the ever-present restrictions affecting our daily lives, how we feel trapped. Sharp and angry guitars awaken the sleeper in the end.
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
