Brainstorm
My feelings are overflowing like the glass of a drunk
I know it sounds cool, but deep inside it's dumb
Overthinking leads to madness
Oh, think about it
Can you tell me what I'm thinking?
I don't think you understand
If you give up so soon you will reach nowhere
Can you tell me what I'm thinking?
I don't think you understand
If you give up so soon you will reach nowhere
I'm lost inside the dungeon of your mind
Apart from the bullshit I can see a light
Overthinking leads to madness
Oh, think about it
Can you tell me what I'm thinking?
I don't think you understand
If you give up so soon you will reach nowhere
Can you tell me what I'm thinking?
I don't think you understand
If you give up that soon you will reach nowhere
This illusion finally wore out
This ain't no time for bitching around
If I tell you that underthinking leads to sadness
Don't think about it
The Radar
The radar is not showing your position
I've searched you everywhere
I'm trying to get your recognition
Living without an ambition
Is more piteous than dying while striving for your dreams
The moon is already up
Still no idea where you are
I feel somewhat handcuffed
I'll continue tomorrow
I know it's hard nonetheless survive
Come back home, you won't get anywhere alone
This jungle will eat you alive so either return or survive
Come back home, you won't get anywhere alone
You might be brave, but now there will be nowhere safe
You don't have anyone, no
Apart from me that is, so I can't understand
Why you'd run away from home
Unbeknownst to me, my love, when will you come?
Maybe it's just a game
And in the morning everything will be back to same
But I can't be too optimistic
In this kind of situation I should be realistic
Come back home, you won't get anywhere alone
This jungle will eat you alive so either return or survive
Come back home, you won't get anywhere alone
You might be brave, but now there will be nowhere safe
Found you upon the hill
With looks that could kill, standing still, with your iron will
Screaming: "Emancipation at last"
It seems now is my time to rest
Come back home, you won't get anywhere alone
This jungle will eat you alive so either return or survive
Come back home, you won't get anywhere alone
You might be brave, but now there will be nowhere safe
Fortune-Teller
Reading my future while touching my lips
She said I might live long, long enough to enjoy this gift
I said "hey, ain't that sweet"
And then I kissed her right in her cheek
First thing in the morning I try to identify
Who was the pretty girl in the bed I called mine
She had this shadowy look in her eyes
Only to think about it gives me a chill in the spine
I can't explain
It was as quick as lightning, but I certainly felt that pain
My brain aches for fuck's sake
What does it take for you to take me away?
It barely took a blink and she already slipped away
I'm trying to think of what kind of game
is she trying to play with me
I was almost at the brink of my sanity to shatter apart
When I realized that she was the gipsy from last night
I can't, I can't explain
It was as quick as lightning, but I certainly felt that pain
My heart aches for fuck's sake
What does it take for you to take me away?
Now this mist is dense
And all this shit is making me feel so tense
She disappeared so fast something is wrong with that
It's just a hunch but that gift she talked about
Was it my life?
If so, then I guess it is too late
To rely on Christ
What the fuck is that
Following me down these halls
I can feel a heat, my heart it skipped a beat
I'm running a fleet
Oh fuck this door is stuck!
I can feel my blood running down my corpse
Plot Twist
I'm falling in quicksand
You ask me if I'll breathe or dig
Babe, I'll just fly and hope not to die
Tonight
They might say I'm a narcissistic freak
They're not all wrong but at least I'm free
And if you want to become like me
Then drop your shackles and let the Rhythm drive you be
Amps, drumsticks and picks
Microphones and other shits
Lent us this power as raw as it is
As fierce as my fist, as lustful as a kiss
The watch in your wrist tells us it's about time
To go frenzy and to lose our minds
Look forward and don't stand behind
Or we'll lose your sight
Could you notice I did notice that I
Just stated all this bullshit and it was all a lie
I'm falling in quicksand
Will you please lend me your hand?
I don't care if you don't understand
Or this might come to an end
Vídeo.
Resenha.
O Primeiro EP da Alkalines foi gravado quando a banda ainda era um trio composto por Marcus Brito (Voz e Guitarra), Caio Simão (Baixo) e Laurent Gripp (Bateria). Amps, Drumsticks & Picks consiste em 4 músicas no estilo mais cru e energético que a banda já apresentou. Foi o primeiro trabalho que a banda produziu no Andar de Cima Homestudio com Memel Nogueira, o que se tornou uma parceria frutífera desde então.
