about

This song was born from a mix of 3 separate parts Vasco had on the piano. Then Bruna added the vocals and we complemented it with the help of Tiago on the cello and Filipe on the drums.
The song speaks of climate change and the descruction of the planet's ecosystems and an attempt to focus on some hope for a future.

lyrics

you're a scavenger, you hunt
write a list of things you wanna kill
you're a scavenger, you hunt
i'm a prayer with no wish to kill

we meet in the woods
you stare right at me
you hunt for a soul
you lost yours on the battlefield

the changes are coming
and they won’t hold back
soon, there’ll be nothing left

on a river bed i float
away into the final cliff
your waste is my new home
i wonder what would happen if

you lost all the hopes
to conquer the world
there's so many signs
with nowhere to hide

the changes are coming
and they won’t hold back
soon, there’ll be nothing left

did we lose?
is it time
surrender to you
and all your crimes

did we lose?
there's no way back
is it time to surrender
with no regrets?

did we lose?
there's no way back
is it time to surrender
with no regrets?

did we lose?
there's no way out
is it time to surrender
to the weight of the crowd?

is it time to surrender?
with no regrets
there’s no way out
go with the crowd
is it time to surrender?
there’s no way back
did we lose?
No way out, no way out

about

alex and us Lisbon, Portugal

Alex, we think, is the ghost that keeps haunting us to create and play. Sometimes we opt to just fear it and hide. Ocasionally we are drawn to release stuff that hopefully other haunted souls can relate to.
All is fun.
