The Abyss

(Edward McBride)

This song is about a guy whose wife suddenly dies; they had no kids. He starts to drink excessively and spirals downwards, losing his home. He has no other family near him, and he hits the bottom --the abyss. He finds the inner strength to change as he knows it is a long road back. He has the shakes; he sees the demons and screams out because he thinks that they are coming to get him. After a long haul he has climbed the abyss.

Down in the Delta
I'm seeking shelter
No home, no kids
I'm all alone

My wife just died
A big surprise
I drink and drink
until I just sink

Chorus

The voices rage
I turn the page
I will get clean
and look so lean
My message is
please help the others
They are someone's brothers
The sun is on me I feel alive

All day, all night
It is not right
I need to stop
or I will drop

The demons out
I scream and shout
No more abyss
I need some bliss

Chorus

The voices rage
I turn the page
I will get clean
and look so lean
My message is
please help the others
They are someone's brothers
The sun is on me I feel alive

I seek out help
with pain I yelp
I shake and shake
pull- on the brake

The voices stop
the nightmares over
I start to heal
This was the deal

Chorus

The voices rage
I turn the page
I will get clean
and look so lean
My message is
please help the others
They are someone's brothers
The sun is on me I feel alive

Get a grip

By Edward McBride

The lyrics relate to some of the crazy things that go on in our world, from shootings, to mass shootings, individuals being imprisoned because they speak out against the countries leader. Old people in care homes with no chance against Covid-19. Presidents inciting insurrections, despots who could fire nuclear weapons if he has a bad day. China wanting to impose control over Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is never ending and through it all we survive.

Leaving It All Behind

Leaving It All behind is a song about being so sick and tired of living life the way you're "supposed " to. Wanting to get off the grid, free your mind from the rat race, and being conditioned what to want, how to think.

Can You Hear Heaven Cry

By Karlo Čavlović

A song about growing up and realising that the world isn't what it seemed through the eyes of a child. You can't glorify and mythologize situations and people because if you do, you might end up disappointed. And if people do in fact disappoint, it might seem to us as though the world is falling apart and fire is raining from the sky.
