Perfect Gene 04:07
Gene-edited baby Perfect body and soul Beyond comparison Why not try? Triumphant! Take control of everything including our primal origin Triumphant! Do everything to live up to our wills We are the ones The greatest ones. Gene-edited baby Perfect body and soul Beyond comparison Why not try? Despair! Take control of everything including our primal origin Despair! Do everything to live up to our wills We are the ones The lonely ones Artificial body and soul Artificial eyes and smile Abandon human nature Despair! Can’t do anything about our desires We are the ones The greedy ones

You're falling in a dream An eternal Dream of a pale veil embracing a withering rose You're falling in a peaceful dream Your lips never turn Never turn red again Not yet to know Why we're born in this world And why we keep striving for something Like Sisyphus rolling his rock Is our life an accident No inherent meaning at its core? Ideal and cause Or even faith Are placebos for the soul Is our life a coincidence? Everyone is dancing on the grave Open our eyes And close them up Existence vanishes into thin air I'm falling in a dream An intermittent Dream of wonderland embracing an artificial rose I'm weaving myself a peaceful dream Escaping the void of the universe No need to know Why we're born in this world And why we keep striving for something Like Sisyphus raising his rock If life itself is an accident No inherent meaning at its core Family and friends Lovers as well Are consolations to our minds If life itself is a coincidence Shall we sing and dance to make our own sound? Open your eyes To see the world We are tiny but Remember A drop of water can reflect Thousands of stars in the sky We suffer and grieve with love To carve the proof Of living here and now It's true We struggle in the mid of nothingness Like Sisyphus repeating But when the sweet dreams come Once again Domination is in our hands

Which would you choose for? A sweet night like this, oh my dear Look into the mirror Ruby or Diva A touch on your lips Let me keep my space and pace My space and pace No matter how they will always talk about me Oh my space and pace My space and pace No matter how they will make a judgment on my beauty Which would you choose for? A sweet night like this, oh my dear Look into the mirror Scarlet or Chili A touch on your lips Let me keep my space and pace My space and pace No matter how they will always talk about me Oh my space and pace My space and pace No matter how they will make a judgment on my beauty Would you like to take me in your arms? Hold me Touch me And feel my space and pace Oh my space and pace If you decode my color You will have the chance you want Let me keep my space and pace My space and pace No matter how they will always talk about me Oh my space and pace My space and pace No matter how they will make a judgment on my beauty

Ambiguity 04:13
I see myself in you my love I hear an echo from you my dear You see yourself in me my love You hear an echo from me my dear With every part of us being the same We can’t be forgiven By the world who name themselves as god With every part of us being the same We can’t be blessed By the one we love We love I see myself in you my love The Anima, Animus, in us With every part of us being the same We can’t be forgiven By the world who name themselves as god With every part of us being the same We can’t be blessed By the one we love We love I just want you I just want you Until the end Just want you No matter who you are Let’s keep the ambiguity inside Search for the answer in the labyrinth of love

Dual 04:31
I smile cuz No one cares for truth behind I'm strong cuz No one cares for weak ones I am kind Just to make everything easier Be positive I need to get applause from you Pride Envy Sloth Gluttony Lust Greed Wrath Cardinal Sins If you look inside You'll find the darkness in your psyche Humans are too weak To acknowledge their inborn flaw “Ego” never defeats “Id” Beneath the water Cold mind Yet no one detects from outside Keep silent Don't let the true word slip out I love you Cuz I can't face the darkness alone So fearful Duplicity tears me apart

Mystery 04:39
She is dancing in my dream Dancing in my poem Her fragrance And blue eyes To my heart Glimmer of light    She is dancing in my dream Dancing in melody She won’t tell about her story Or her name Where does she come from? Doesn't matter What is the role she plays in life?  Don't care And I keep a distance from her Mysterious lady Appreciating as an audience Untouchable Oh my angel Ephemeral Oh illusion She is gazing in my dream Off into the distance What is she gazing on? In my eyes Misty forest She is weeping in my dream Weeping in silence She won’t tell about her story Or her name Where does she come from? I hope to know What is the role she plays in life?  Wondering But I let her hold them inside Mysterious lady Appreciating from a distance She is vanishing from my dream Not even a clue left Don't let me find the truth Could you stay Glimmer of light   She is dancing in my song Lasting in memory She’s a dream veiled in mystery

You You You 04:45
You, you, you In a dream You, you, you Silently You, you, you Your luminous shine Reflecting on A mazarine lake in the forest Like a moonstone in sapphire Brightly, mistily, lonely When a soft breeze Ruffle the water As if you were smiling at me So sweetly I fell in love With you, you, you You, you, you On a wind You, you, you Tenderly You, you, you I gaze upon your face A thousand times Your silhouette Flooding silver light But every time I am reaching out You shudder, blurred, faded The moon aloft in the sky Disappear in a water wave Fading away from me You, you, you Adieu, adieu

Body Free 04:21
Looking back at your life What are you living for? Unconsciously your mind is washed Your path’s already set Playing a lovely role Always show your mask Unconsciously your heart is stained Melting in a social rule Existence precedes the essences Everything is up to you Come on it is the time Get rid of “common sense” Feel wings unfolding on your back Away from occupied lands Look around the world No law governs everything Feel thoughts flowing in your mind Find a meaning for your life For you or me For love or hate For all or none No more Looking back at your life What are you living for? Unconsciously your mind is washed Your path’s already set Consume everything Everything well-advertised Unconsciously your life is chained Melting in a social rule Existence precedes the essences Everything is up to you Come on it is the time To the unknown to the dream Feel wings unfolding on your back Fly to the promised lands Look around the world No law governs everything Feel your body stretching out Get the meaning of your life

Big Boy 04:13
I am the evil icon So as you say I am the worst creature I should be driven out Don’t know what I have done To make myself hateful People are just frightened by Shadows in their hearts   Calm down, my big boy My fallen angel Don’t let the malice of the world devour you Beauty you foster in your mind Surpasses what they can imagine   I am the evil icon So as you say I am the worst creature Sentence is coming  Don’t know what I have done To make me sinful I am the monster you fear Shadows in your hearts   Keep on, my big boy My fallen angel Don’t let the malice of the world devour you Beauty you foster in your mind Surpasses what they can imagine I learn to love and to give Modern Frankenstein But they never change their view Wait! Be strong, my big boy My fallen angel  Don’t let the malice of the world devour you Beauty you foster in your mind Believe me, one day they’ll find   You hope the world will be in peace and love But people fear those who're different You see the world with sympathy Waiting for someday when...

Watching They're watching you all through Through the monitors they're watching All the moves you're making What you're saying Being watched all through All the social media Chats and videos You're seen in every lens Show Everything you show None of these things are really who you are The truth of who you really are None of these things are really who you are Everything you show None of these things are really who you are All you want is just to feel loved Watching They're watching you all through Watching They're watching you all through What you're saying Being watched all through All the social media Chats and videos You're seen in every lens Show Everything you show None of these things are really who you are The truth of who you really are None of these things are really who you are Everything you show None of these things are really who you are All you want is just to feel loved You can't shout You can't howl You can never wipe yourself out From the lens Why aren't we seen through eyes? None of these things are really who you are The truth of who you really are Watching They're watching you all through But your voice is drowning In the ocean of lens

You You do have a name Me I do have a name Reflection in glass As we see ourselves pass Cuz we have a name You You don’t know your name Me I don’t know my name Lost in the way that we thought it was straight We don’t know our names Do you know your name? People usually think They do know their names Really? Find your real name Find your real name Your real name Do you know my name? THE EITHER You You want someone’s name Me I want someone’s name The world we know now Would be better somehow With someone’s name Who are you Who am I Can’t recognize though we have the same eyes Do you know your name

Do you feel it Do you feel it Do you feel it Don’t you feel it baby Do you know it Do you know it Do you know it Do you know it Do you realize Do you realize Can you understand Can’t you understand If you felt it If you knew it If you knew it Why don’t you scream Why don’t you scream Do you know it Do you know it Do you know it Don’t you know it baby Do you know me Do I know you Do you know you Do you know you You you you you You you you you you You are holding If you are holding To you, to you, to you, to me To this mad world Why don’t you scream Why don’t you scream Do you love me Don’t you love me Can you love me tonight Can you hold me tonight Don’t you want it Don’t you want Don’t you want Don’t you want

about

We use electrified ethnic instruments and human voices to express ourselves.
That's just a coincidence.
That's a familiar and challenging expression.
What we want to express is the crazy world you and I feel together.
"Awakening" - We observe, we think, we introspect and we feel.
