How do you count

(Adelina Stoyanova)

It`s about time and how focused we are on its pace. It`s all calculating, scheduling, trying to make time, to stop time, to make plans according to time. Life is passing by, and we are butchering it, trying to make it fit where it doesn`t, in some man-made construction made out of measurements. It is (once more) a straight-forward song about a universal truth.

Several years - and you will be
grown enough to lead a war
Few more years to be lovely
time is reaching to your core

Two more years - you`ll buy a car
and ten more years - you`ll have a child
Counting, `till you go so far
you can not breathe if it`s not filed

chorus
We`ve been tricked,
we keep on counting,
keep on  climbing hills and mountains
Look back - there`s no trace
All the numbers`ve been erased

20 years - it`s not so much
and 7 years - they`re not so few
Tell me, tell - how do you count?
Time`s making a fool out of you

50 years- they could be less
and 20 years - they should be more.
Feels like you`re just playing chess
when you`re opening a new door

Locked door

By Adelina Stoyanova

It is a sort of a love song - only sort of, because it is love blocked by fear and self-resentment. A person loves another person for their true nature, but feels like this person is better than them in a way, so they will not let themselves fall completely in love. They both want to achieve freedom through love, but freedom is not possible when you`re afraid of something (e.g. that you`re not good enough). These lyrics are pretty straightforward, so I think they are speaking for themselves.

Wolve in sheep clothes

By Ouafae Lakhlili

This song is about a man who acts like a boy and needs to grow up. He needs to man up and dont bother me with his dependances on every forbidden drug and drink there is.
