“The Dusk” is about the nightfall, the moment the light dims and everything on Earth gets darker.
“Arrhythmic” is about the lonely heart of a fearful woman that has never left the darkness.
(Verse 01)
I am sorry for my absence
Guess I’m stuck in my bad habits
Probably this sounds like nonsense
That’s okay if you cannot imagine it
Think I’m allergic to the light
Just waiting until midnight
(Chorus)
Sorry, but I killed my own battery
And only shadows are able to recharge it
Scrolling endlessly through my phone’s gallery
Digging for a hidden treasure that no longer exists
All ‘cause I wish to stop this old feeling
And cease my arrhythmic heart-beating
Close my eyes to hide from the demons
That keep haunting my soul every season
For no fucking reason
(Verse 02)
I am sorry that we couldn’t greet tonight
I’ve spent my day trying not to feel so tired
You can blame me for all the things that went wrong
But you can’t change what I’m feeling in this pseudo comfort zone
The fear increases while time goes by
Count to eleven, it’s almost midnight
(Chorus)
Sorry, but I killed my own battery
And only shadows are able to recharge it
Scrolling endlessly through my phone’s gallery
Digging for a hidden treasure that no longer exists
All ‘cause I wish to stop this old feeling
And cease my arrhythmic heart-beating
Close my eyes to hide from the demons
That keep haunting my soul every season
For no fucking reason
(Outro)
I am sorry that the party is already over
And every heart inside this house got a little colder
Suddenly I finally hear the twelve chimes
Take a breath, girl, it’s midnight time
I am sorry
“Bittersweet” is about the ambiguity to interpret the most intimate human feelings.
(Verse 01)
Everyday we’re getting a little more distant
But I hope I have at least one last chance
To tell you I’m happy that I’ve met you
Hm, hm, I will never forget you
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m glad you broke this steel chain
Tell me how or I’ll go insane
(Chorus)
How do you keep your head up while growing older?
The more you climb, the more the air gets colder
Though the tough battle, your smile still shines
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
Oh, when will it be my time?
Oh, when will it be my time?
(Verse 02)
This melancholy is bittersweet
A mix of feelings like anxiety
The future makes me afraid
Lord knows how much I prayed
For all of these dark clouds to fade
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m glad you broke this steel chain
Tell me how or I’ll go insane
(Chorus)
How do you keep your head up while growing older?
The more you climb, the more the air gets colder
Though the tough battle, your smile still shines
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
Oh, when will it be my time?
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
Oh, when will it be my time?
(Outro)
Here I am again back to the beginning
I can’t help but cry
I still wonder when it will be my time
And I hope it’s gonna be soon
‘Cause I miss you sometimes
“Chokehold” is about the suffocating feeling of self-destruction caused by guilt.
(Intro)
We went from good night to goodbye
Think this time I can’t blame my mind
I feel like I am a disaster inside
When I’m working on speedlight
(Verse 01)
Slowly feeling it coming up my throat
Swallowing back the words I just spoke
Frustration makin’ me lose all control
Can’t believe this came from my soul
The cards that I pulled off in tarot
Showed me the lyrics that I wrote
I don’t like it when my skin gets cold
It feels like I’m dying by chokehold
(Chorus)
It feels like chokehold, like a freak show
I’m on blindfold while you behold
It feels like chokehold
Chokehold, chokehold
It feels like chokehold, like a freak show
I’m on blindfold while you behold
It feels like chokehold
Chokehold, chokehold
(Verse 02)
I’ve closed my eyes because I had hope
Everything would get better the next day
But that’s not how it was when I woke
Guess I made a mess, a big mistake
I listen to your weak heart beating
And I can see that you’re still bleeding
Every drop feels heavy as metal
And every minute feels like a battle
(Chorus)
It feels like chokehold, like a freak show
I’m on blindfold while you behold
It feels like chokehold
Chokehold, chokehold
It feels like chokehold, like a freak show
I’m on blindfold while you behold
It feels like chokehold
Chokehold, chokehold
(Outro)
It feels like chokehold
Like chokehold
Like chokehold
“Treason” is about the constant self-sabotage caused by excessive manipulation.
(Verse 01)
It feels like I’m in eternal debt
Being controlled like a marionette
It even triggers me seeing your silhouette
Even though I try, I cannot reject
(Chorus)
I can see something’s blocking my vision
Belittling every single one of my reasons
It’s been so hard I’ve made my decision
But why does it still feel like treason?
Why does it still feel like treason?
(Verse 02)
Is it just me or does it feel like a game?
Betting my freedom and losing everyday
Caught in your words web, found chained
Sorry but now I am too grown to play
(Chorus)
I can see something’s blocking my vision
Belittling every single one of my reasons
It’s been so hard I’ve made my decision
But why does it still feel like treason?
Why does it still feel like treason?
(Outro)
Cutting the strings one by one
Just waiting for the moment I can run
I incite fear like a lion on the loose
I’m dangerous if I have the right to choose
“The Devil” is about the act of vilification of a woman towards herself.
Some things might change you forever
Make you think yourself doesn't matter
Once it breaks, you can't glue it back together
I could try, but know what? Whatever
I've already lost my mind
It's too late to fight
Now I know I am the Devil
Now I know I am the Devil
(Now I know I am the Devil)
'Cause I'm the guilty
All the bad things are my liability
And I just agree
Yeah I'm the guilty
It aches under my skin
Sinking in my deadly sins
Yeah!
My head is my own hell
The flaming kingdom in which I dwell
I am the Devil, yeah
“Hostage” is about the awakening from a trance induced by crimson words.
(Verse 01)
A bloody path
Hold it until my last breath
Onward, no one cares if I reach there
Before my death
I want to stop this Sisyphus wheel
But the engine keeps running like
It's made of steel
(Chorus)
H-O-S-T-A-G-E, hold me
I scream but they don't listen
My head or a mass extinction
P-O-I-S-O-N, crimson stained
Stuck in your little games
I am your hostage
(Verse 02)
I want to survive but the society is rotten
And if I die now I'll be nothing but forgotten
I've been beheaded but my mind's still not numb
It feels like side effects of Stockholm Syndrome
(Chorus)
H-O-S-T-A-G-E, hold me
I scream but they don't listen
My head or a mass extinction
P-O-I-S-O-N, crimson stained
Stuck in your little games
I am your hostage
(Bridge)
There's no safe place
I chronically deteriorate
Sorry for making you frustrate
I am your hostage
Suffocate me till I choke
Heart so fast it broke
It's running out of my control
You're my evil host
(Chorus)
H-O-S-T-A-G-E, hold me
I scream but they don't listen
My head or a mass extinction
P-O-I-S-O-N, crimson stained
Stuck in your little games
I am your hostage
“Unbreathable” is about the spatial perception of vacuum and sensory danger.
(Verse 01)
Confined between four walls
I’m feeling observed
Afraid of moving my eyeballs
Is that what I really deserve?
Contemplating isolation
Devouring my heart
Lost all my motivation
Been thrown into the dark
(Chorus)
This place’s getting unbreathable
And the exit seems unreachable
Insane how you make it difficult
The way you act is sort of criminal
This blood’s flooding my lungs
I can’t breathe, I can’t run
I beg for someone to save me
‘Cause it’s unbreathable, baby
(Verse 02)
The hatred and thirst for revenge
That I nurture feels like poison torture
My body’s getting numb
Announcing my departure
Don’t you count on me
No matter what, soon I will be gone
And then all you’ll see is nothing
But the traces of what I’ve become
(Chorus)
This place’s getting unbreathable
And the exit seems unreachable
Insane how you make it difficult
The way you act is sort of criminal
This blood’s flooding my lungs
I can’t breathe, I can’t run
I beg for someone to save me
‘Cause it’s unbreathable, baby
“And Then There Were None” is about the detachment from the cause of all existing bad feelings.
(Verse 01)
It is a mystery
What have you done to me?
It’s like a parasite, oh, I’m hypnotized
I’m traumatized, I’m agonizing
Caught under your blood spell
Burning in an illusory hell
(Chorus)
You make this a claustrophobic space
Until I can’t stand looking at your face
Like it was once written by my namesake
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
(Verse 02)
Do you host my life?
The ghost from whom I hide?
Sinking into your sea of lies
Think I might not survive
The monster’s in my head
And makes me see red
I wonder if it is real or my imagination instead
(Chorus)
You make this a claustrophobic space
Until I can’t stand looking at your face
Like it was once written by my namesake
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
And then there were none with you
“Dead End” is about the relapse between liberation and overcoming.
[Verse 1: Agatha]
Been up all night trying to be fine, but I hate myself
Somewhere inside of my bedroom still has your smell
How I wish I could back in time to fix what I broke
I just can’t help but cry in my pillow and let tears soak
[Pre-Chorus: Agatha]
Hurting people till they gone
Dying by imposter syndrome
Got lost on my way home, oh
Though all I’ve done, I still can’t…
[Chorus: Agatha & Lucca]
I still cannot comprehend
Cannot believe that I am
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead end
But this time I can’t pretend
Every minute that I spend
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead end
At the dead end, yeah
[Verse 2: Lucca Lordgan]
Hard to make out, my mind is on a falldown
I don’t know how to face it, I’m walking on a maze
I’ve been with pain, my heart has a stain, it’s so bad
Yeah, this will mark with a scar
I cannot change the damn past
[Pre-Chorus: Lucca Lordgan]
Hurting people till they gone
Dying by imposter syndrome
Got lost on my way home, oh
Though all I’ve done, I still can’t…
[Chorus: Agatha & Lucca]
I still cannot comprehend
Cannot believe that I am
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead end
But this time I can’t pretend
Every minute that I spend
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead…
[Bridge: Agatha Melina, Lucca Lordgan]
Thoughts so dense that I almost feel like I can touch
Thoughts so dense that I almost feel like I can touch
(Oh, at the dead end, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Thoughts so dense that I almost feel like I can touch
(Will this mist last forever?)
I am at the dead end
[Chorus: Agatha & Lucca]
I still cannot comprehend
Cannot believe that I am
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead end
But this time I can’t pretend
Every minute that I spend
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead…
I still cannot comprehend
Cannot believe that I am
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead end
But this time I can’t pretend
Every minute that I spend
At the dead, at the dead, at the dead end
“Hallways” is about the act of revisiting haunted ruins in the form of muffled memories.
Wandering through these endless hallways
A familiar voice keeps calling me as always
And every single word corrode me like acid
While the world’s getting a little more placid
Framed on the walls, I can peek the uncountable lies
I still don’t know how I could say it staring into your eyes
It’s clear I don’t know myself, but also never knew you
How could I trust someone with that kind of attitude?
I still got memories of what all this used to be
The more I explore them, there’s more to see
And I keep contemplating this old emptiness
Like a museum drowned in the deepest darkness
Wandering through these endless hallways
A familiar voice keeps calling me as always
And every single word corrode me like acid
While the world’s getting a little more placid
Maybe if we should’ve been closer it wouldn’t end up like this
It’s so hard to spot through this mist the few moments of bliss
At this point, I do not expect all the open wounds to suddenly heal
However, I will start trying not to neglect anymore what I feel
And as I go further, it saddens me to see how abandoned is this place
My inner child could never think this specific tear would roll down my face
Sorrows and regrets are my only company through this morbid ride
So I’ll leave you a handwritten letter to say you my last goodbye
“Echoes” is about the feeling of witnessing the inevitable and imminent end of all things as we know them.
(Verse 01)
When I be ghost a I'll be wandering down the Earth
Observing remains of broken memories getting liminal
Traveling through places that have lost all of their worth
Every second feels like centuries when I'm unphysical
A dystopian countdown
While this terminal world is emptying out
(Chorus)
How many years does it take for the echoes to fade? I can’t remember
Not even the wisest man to ever exist could understand me
A nostalgic deja-vu every time I dream, what do I call this?
I am still waiting for my happy ending
Oh
(Verse 02)
Take me on a boat trip into this night, you and I
Let me dive into shallow reflections of my mind before I rise
An ocean of tears that I’ve cried, oh my dead eyes
Under stars ungluing from the skies, the end of times
I…
(Chorus)
How many years does it take for the echoes to fade? I can’t remember
Not even the wisest man to ever exist could understand me
A nostalgic deja-vu every time I dream, what do I call this?
I am still waiting for my happy ending
Oh
“The Departure” is about the rest of a suffering soul after facing all its fears and traumas out of necessity.
