back in the days, just the same old song,
trying to think nothing, to get along.
pilot light’s weak, it was about time,
to either my catch my breath or lose my mind.
good times were gone, I couldn’t get them back,
my whole life felt like a cul-de-sac.
day in and day out, it was all the same,
you either break the rules or you lose the game.
i’d rather serve minors in some old shack,
just get this damn monkey off my back.
eternal darkness, it’s more than a game,
when every hour is so damn lame.
cut the cord, let this vision end,
it’s either that or to make a stand.
(and) while there’s a place and time,
it’s not here nor now, too much on the line.
and this guiding light, best seen in the dark,
starts out quite dim, more like a spark.
because it’s at night, that we see best,
first order is to get some rest.

how we fit new information into existing knowledge,
how we remember and how we forget,
how our consciousness fades
and eventually disappears.
how we fade and eventually disappear.
interactions between cells,
not with our surroundings.
bursts of activity following muscle twitching.
neurons firing briefly at a high rate.
slow or absent eye movement.
consolidate new memories.
fill in the blanks.

erase old memories.
our brain firing blanks.

an altered state,
in which dreams are rare.
a mindset more organized,
close to real life.
most restful phase,
behind some haze.
shutting down the brain,
toning down the pain.
tend and befriend,
not flight or fight.
healing of the body,
improvement of the mind.
the night does not belong to lovers,
because the night belongs to us.
don’t touch me now, don’t dare to,
because the night belongs to us.
when the day belongs to haste,
and the night belongs to lust,
tell me which part of our lives is it exactly
that really does belong to us?
the 70s are over now for nearly half a century,
we just seem to be stuck in time.
it's been a long trip and it sure has been weird,
anyhow, we're just stuck in time.

losing control over some matter, losing control over ourselves.
close our eyes to see what matters, close our eyes to see ourselves.
upon nightfall, things will get better, in this darkness that sets us free.
No control, no things that'll matter, everything is just plain to see.
upon nightfall, things will get better, in this darkness that sets us free. No control, no things that'll matter, when we dream is when we are free.
upon nightfall, we will be free, surrender to the night with me.
retreat and rest, recover and restore.
upon nightfall, we will be free, surrender to the night with me.
upon nightfall, we will be free, in this darkness that lets us see.
upon nightfall, we will be free, surrender to the night with me.
upon nightfall, we will be free, in this darkness that sets us free.

eyelids
made of soft tissue
a wide screen
for these hard issues
it’s warmer on the outside
it’s colder on the inside
muscles
randomnly twitching
no slow waves
the whole body itching
it’s warmer on the outside
it’s colder on the inside
it’s safer on the outside
it’s scary on the inside
wake up
let go
wake up
heart rate
out of control
breathing
out of control
deep sleep
old guard
deep sleep
old guard
the nightmare continues
the nightmare continues

Wir zieh'n das Geld an wie ein Magnet
by Les Trucs
"14 Minuten Motivationsmusik für neuzeitliche Survivalists." Müssen wir noch mehr sagen? Ja? Okay: Einer von uns "singt" auf einem der vier (allesamt höchst wirkmächtigen) Tracks. Enjoy.

Die Band, mit der wir uns den Proberaum und die Vorliebe für Pils teilen. Kraut as kraut can bzw. neu. Es ergeht eindringliche Empfehlung.

Ein weiterer Eintrag im Genre "2021 erschienene 10" EPs über den Tod und Artverwandtes". Falco (RIP) würde die Art des Vortrags sehr gefallen. Euch hoffentlich auch.

Another banger from Pleasure Model; this is dark, pulsing, nighttime house music that slaps hard but maintains a sense of menace.
