Hollow World
04:03
|
|||
|
We long to feel less empty inside our hollow world
These hollow days bring so much hurt
We keep our beds for living that echo in the dirt
why do we keep this world under
Did we all try?
Is this goodbye now?
Oh, my hollow world
What do they mean, all these empty words
I can’t stay, you must reject us first
We long to feel more pity inside this hollow world
Such hollow deeds just only hurt
We lost a real connection, we raised a false ego
What did we do? What do we know?
Did we all try?
Is this goodbye now?
Oh, my hollow world
What do they mean, all these empty words
I can’t stay, you must reject us first
And then it came to nothing
The sound that shook us all
That begat the fear and then the fall
Oh, my little earth shaker
That fell from the sky
We thought you were so divine
Did we all try?
Is this goodbye?
Goodbye, sunshine
Hello, dark skies
So long, clean air
Do you care?

Everything that we’ve seen
Is not lost, I still feel
Complications do arise
Day to day, we survived
A Darker time, a darker space,
What did you see?
Are we too late?

The Court and Jury
01:07
|
|||
|
We’re all out of time
To face our darkest crimes,
The court and jury
Have now come for me
Midnight has now come
We are all now undone
Wrong as we may be
There is no light you see
We’ve turned a blind eye

Land of Dead
01:49
|
|||
|
Land of Dead, land of endless space
Land of fire, the sky burns brighter
Empty love, empty space
Are we all losing grace
We can live here no more
Serpent skin you’ve shed again
Stories grow but the truth will show
What’s the use of hiding here
Can you smell the stench of fear
Your eyes do not lie
“Goodbye, blue sky
So long, clean air
Do you even care?”

Keep the Light Alive
01:46
|
|||
|
How do you keep the light alive
how do you keep the flame burning so bright?
Spirit come to me I am done,
Come take me away to the one
Hollow world, Hollow grace,
We will try to refill it, with emptiness within it
Hollow world, we can’t stay
You must learn to reject us
The tide is now upon us
The sun is gone and now the game is all over
As the cracks began to appear
I could not bring myself to face all my fears
I saw that your house was on fire
Oh, Goodbye, my hollow world

We Cry for Harmonia
04:18
|
|||
|
I’ve been down this road before
I’ve seen this place that we seek
It’s not what we were told
This place is far too cold…
They had come calling you see
There had been people before
There was space within
The walls then kept risin…
The land of dead keeps a call:
We cry for Harmonia!
How can we fill a space
With air we cannot breathe..
For all the ghosts that we keep
We cry for Harmonia!
We will we will rebuild
We will start something new...
How do we keep from the cold,
How do we keep from the pain
Please tell us how to live
Please help us find a way…
Dream dream dream...

Harmonia
05:11
|
|||
|
All this hate you bring is just white noise
Toxic to the bone, devoid of poise
Love from you is not too far from war
Love is not a thing that you care for
Harmonia
Thought I knew ya
But I guess I was foolish
To think that you had it in ya
Harmonia, I see through you
I have tried to be more than what you are
In all honesty, it was not so hard
I no longer feel pain anymore
Knowing what you are and what I'm for
Harmonia
Thought I knew ya
But I guess I was foolish
To think that you had it in ya
Harmonia, I see through you and what you are
Now I know your game
I no longer need to feel ashamed
Are we empty, are we hollow
Is there meaning in who we follow
They’ll forsake you, then reject you
They forgot you, never knew you...
Harmonia...

I See You
05:28
|
|||
|
I see you standing in the shadows
Guarding all your dying flowers
Withering like your soul
I see you and your silent actions
Spreading lies as a distraction
From your eyes and the truth
How do you pretend you just don’t care
It’s as if I’m just a stranger there
I can see you changing from what you thought to what you are
I see you holding onto anger
Hate only brings you nowhere
Loneliness as your vice
I see you.
How do you pretend you just don’t care
It’s as if I’m just a stranger there
I can see you changing from what you thought to what you are now
Not even a child now
Can have an ego that’s so strong
You think you’re so highbrow
Oh my my...
Look at these lies
That you base your life
Cut all your ties
Oh my my...

The Clampdown
03:42
|
|||
|
Are you waiting for the clampdown?
They’re coming for us, we go underground
Will they tear us from our dad and mum in the night
Just what do you think that we are?
Feel the cold hand of the clampdown
Where walls and borders break common ground
Will they take away what you thought was great in your mind?
How can you sleep while they cry?
They have come so very far
All they need are open arms
Will you be the one they turn to?
Will the world still look upon you?
Are you working for the clampdown?

Fox on the Run
04:40
|
|||
|
I don’t need to be a hero
I just want to be where love grows
Nothing left for me to hold to
They’ve taken all I had and you
Fox on the run
They won’t catch me
A war is to be won
I am not one to be bothered
But they came and took my honour
I don’t need to be a hero
So I leave behind this sorrow
Fox on the run
They won’t catch me
A war is to be won...

House on Fire
03:53
|
|||
|
Come back home, babe, it’s on fire
It’s dark outside, the flames grow higher
In that place, in that time
Did I think we’d make it
My love awaits me, cold and tired
The children laugh but cry for a father
What did I do, did I stay
When the choice was given
What did we lose
Like this house on fire
What path did I choose
In this house on fire
I don’t want life to be forsaken
All I have can just be taken
In the blink of an eye
Does it all really matter
What did we lose
Like this house on fire
What path did I choose
In this house on fire
I know what I did was wrong
Sometimes my ego can be oh so strong
Was I blind to the hurt you suffered
You know that is not who I am
I’ve come home to start all over
From that time, in that place
Can I be forgiven
What did we lose
Like this house on fire
What path did I choose
In this house on fire
What did we do
In this house on fire
Our love is true

A Way Home
03:14
|
|||
|
I did not know where I was until I found a way home
Life was a loss and my mind wasn't much to speak of
Time, wait for me
Love, please don't leave me
Lord, what a mess “I’m so lost” I confessed on my way home
To no one that's there in my mind I wouldn't dare to speak to
Time, wait for me
Love, please don't leave me
Your pale blue eyes
Lost in your stare
Please still be there
Because I am lost here without you
Why would you wait for fool that was chasing his shadow
I guess that love is real if two souls can find a way home

First time in a while I've enjoyed every track on an album. Unreal sound

Alien

Reminds me listening to underground radio in the 80s. In those times, discovering cool music was one, but to get such a record in the local outback-store was another thing.

This Can Only Lead To Chaos
by Helicon
supported by 47 fans who also own “Hollow”
Sonically, Helicon are brilliant. They produce sounscapes with hints of infuences from My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Verve, BRMC & BJM to name a few whilst carving out their own unique style and sound. They play the type of music I want to lsten to again and again. Buy this album you won't be disappointed. The vinyl edition comes in a groovy shade yellow.

Numbers Game
by Grocer
South Philly band Grocer has all the sly disaffection of classic ’90s indie rock in their wonderfully unruly songs.

The self-described "queer mom-rock band" bring their playful sound to their second project.

Vyvyd

A wonderful album although the style slightly changed compared to their earlier releases. I was lucky to catch the guys in a small venue in Vienna this summer and had a VERY good time - fantastic live band!
