WHERE DO WE FAKE IT FROM HERE?

(Adrian Mallinson)

A song about a relationship which has come to an end but neither partner wants to admit it. There is nothing left and they are simply going through the motions. So, if it doesn't end now, the question is 'where do we fake from here?'

WE’RE DRIFTING IN THE DESERT AND THERE’S NOTHING HERE
IT’S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR MORE THAN A YEAR
CAN YOU EVEN HEAR ME ANYMORE?
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL’S IN STORE

SO WHERE DO WE FAKE IT FROM HERE?
TELL ME, WHERE DO WE FAKE IT FROM HERE?

LOOKS AND SMILES BEGAN IT ALL BUT NOW ITS GONE
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
DON’T TELL ME YOU’RE SURPRISED
DROP THE FAÇADE, DON’T MAKE IT SO HARD

WE CAN’T GO ON LIKE THIS NO MORE
IT’S OVER NOW AND YOU KNOW THE SCORE
IT ISN’T YOU AND IT ISN’T ME
IT’S SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE JUST CAN’T SEE

SO WHERE DO WE FAKE IT FROM HERE?
TELL ME, WHERE DO WE FAKE IT FROM HERE?

IT WON’T GET BETTER IT CAN ONLY GET WORSE
NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL 
ALL I CAN SEE IS AN ONCOMING TRAIN

IT HAS TO END NOW THERE’S NO OTHER WAY
IT CAN’T GO ON FOR ANOTHER DAY
LET IT GO IT’S THE END OF THE LINE, OTHERWISE…

WHERE DO WE FAKE IT FROM HERE?
TELL ME, WHERE DO WE FAKE IT FROM HERE?

THE DEMON’S GRIN

Gotta break out

A song about someone finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the pressures of modern, urban existence and the constant struggle to get by in an environment that often feels like a war zone. A need to escape, to break out and find a place to recover and take stock.

She arrived with an empty suitcase

By Adrian Mallinson

Whispers of the Cosmic Ballet

By Edward McBride

I have tried to create a dreamlike atmosphere throughout the lyrics. The connection between the individual and the cosmos is expressed --the idea of finding grace, learning to fly, and navigating life's ebbs and flows resonates with a sense of hope and resilience. In the outro, it invites the reader to join in the cosmic dance and embrace the dreams that lie within the whispers of the night

Famous

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about a relationship with a potential star, who becomes one. As the relationship goes along and the person becomes a bigger star they leave, and when they return there's always less of them that comes back. The person who isn't the star knows that the days are numbered and they will leave one day for good. The only good thing about it was that person got famous from the other. Famous for being the other one in the relationship. Even though they should have known better to get involved and stay in the relationship, they did.

Standing Here and Looking Back

By Isaac Wragg

Nostalgia is appealing, but it also has an enemy. Forgetting the last can harm us just as much as idolizing it. Finding a balance is hard, but when we do--seeing the good, the bad, and the path that led us here--we don't have to ignore or be owned by what our life used to be.

ATOMS

By Melanie Thompson

Some people believe that what one human being does can affect another human being. Even if they are great distances apart. These lyrics take that idea and shrink it.
