Dislocation 05:16
Broke into me, broke into me Broke into me, broke into me Destroyed everything, plundered everything Destroyed everything, soiled everything I wish you could protect me but it’s too late Demolition’s consummated and the world just goes on People keep dancing on the ruins of my being And that’s ok - yeah that’s ok. It’s not just about me, not just about me It’s not just about me, not just about me So why wouldn’t they laugh, why should they stop ? Yeah, after all, why should they stop ? Surprise and pain are taking my breath Whatever – life has to prevail. Something will arise from my tears in the end Even if I still don’t know what Even if I still don’t know what Even if I still don’t know what Even if I still don’t know what Even if I still don’t know what

Sometimes I really feel like I Live in a different world from yours A world with evanescent contours Where borders dissolve and die You seem so sure but can you tell Just one irrefutable thing ? What makes you certain that your whole life, well, Isn’t a huge misunderstanding ? What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong You say you’ve done all you could for me I dragged you down into the dirt When I needed you, you weren't there for me I swear I never meant to hurt [who’s right ?] One person’s monster is another’s hero And today's convictions will be denied tomorrow I could give you twelve versions of the truth You would see it yet another way What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong What do you wanna believe ? Now tell right from wrong

I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now Pieces of my story Fade and break off by themselves In the folds of my shrivelled memory Can’t seem to recognize myself All these things I’ve done - But was it really me ? - All these things I have known Tomorrow where will they be ? I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now I will forget your face, forget the time you hurt me and forget your caresses, I will forget the pain of losing you and it will be worse than losing you, but I will forget, I will forget why and how and I will forget that once I knew, I will forget the day you promised me that we would be happy and I will forget that I didn’t believe you cause I knew you would forget your promise, I will forget the meaning of this all or rather I will forget to look for it, my world’s gonna turn over and slowly shrink and I don’t know what will remain, and it terrifies me, for what can I cling on to if my own past is slipping away, if my mind leaves me ? I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now Trying my best to hold back Words and places, names and faces I trace entangled lines to keep track Of this and fill empty spaces All these things I’ve lived - Did they happen once ? - Strange and distorted I reinvent their sense I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now I gotta fix this, gotta fix this right now

Sea Of Signs 04:39
I see things that nobody seems to perceive I can’t get them out of my mind I might be mad - is that what you believe? – Or I might be a seer in the land of the blind I swim in a sea of arbitrary signs That no one decrypts the same way When I try to read between the lines Everything blurs and slips away Just because you can’t see it Doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist Just because you don’t understand Doesn’t mean that it makes no sense Truth is the average of everyone’s views So the great majority prevails And those who don’t agree are said to be confused But under the veil there’s just another veil Just because you can’t see it Doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist Just because you don’t understand Doesn’t mean that it makes no sense

So you don’t wanna know what’s going on around you It’s so much easier to close your eyes You say it’s not your fault, say it doesn’t concern you You prefer to believe in your own lies : No dirt No fear No hurt No tear Let me drown, close your eyes Everything will be alright You can always pretend you haven’t seen anything When no one’s there to see, then nothing happened But when people will talk, you’ll know about everything, You’ll be the first to say what should have been done : No doubt You’re right Stay out You’re bright You hide behind a wall of silence Retreat in your good conscience Then you wanna tell me how I should feel In guess in your world my pain is unreal

Sanctuary 04:56
Immersed in his own wounds – familiar inner journey He’s safe from the outside here, no one else has the key Pain reassures him like an old friend, it proves he’s still alive Staying here with himself is the only way he can survive He locked the door years ago and now he’s stuck in this place Filled with ghosts that all have his face He knows this place very well, can make it as big as he wishes But it remains inexorably closed, seems it has lasted for ages He’s gone too far, doesn’t know how to come back Now the beautiful world he had created is turning black He bangs into the bars of his own conscience each time he tries to go [away Mad rush in a labyrinth whose plans have gone astray He screams : Get out Get out Get out Get out Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me

So you want me to pay for such a crime But the only thing I’ve done was being me I guess I should feel sorry, guess I should feel guilty And ask you to forgive me – but not this time Well, you think I am too different But I won’t apologize for being who I am Want me to shut up, smile and pretend But I’d rather stay myself than take part in your sham I think too much, ask too much, cry too much and dream for hours I’m much too weird, too passionate, a bit too lively, too indecent I cannot stand dilution, I’m addicted to quintessence I’m not able to suit your moderate desires Well, you think I am too different But I won’t apologize for being who I am Want me to shut up, smile and pretend But I’d rather make my rules than be a pawn in your rigged game Well, you think I am too different I won’t apologize for not fitting your schemes Want me to shut up, smile and pretend I’d rather stay alone than prostitute my dreams Well, you think I am too different But I won’t apologize for being who I am Want me to shut up, smile and pretend But I’d rather stay myself than take part in your sham

No place for failure, no place for tries No place for accidents, no place for compromise Whether I reach the top or I look for disaster I handle the rise, I make the sinking faster, faster, faster Perfection can’t resist the injury of time Wonder doesn’t last, all is desperately light I’ve been pursuing my ideal without ever noticing That the bright star everyone’s staring at is just burning, burning, burning A perfect life, a perfect love, a perfect smile for a perfect girl and A perfect dream with perfect plans and a perfect end, a perfect end It’s all under control It’s all under control It’s all under control until you fall and can’t pick up the pieces All is under control All is under control All is under control All is under control All is under control All is under control All is under control All is under control All is out of control

Hey you there Seems like you’re missing something Hey you there You could steal it from me Don’t worry I am the perfect victim You will see I promise I won’t scream While you’re there You can eat my bowels Anyway My liver will regrow I thought I would get hurt when I fell, But it hurts cause I don’t fall I thought I would get hurt when I fell, But it hurts cause I don’t ever fall I am tired Of fighting again and again I am tired Of always being strong I know I’ll win Because I’m used to it I always win And it makes me sick And finally What if I surrendered ? What do you think ? Would it all fall apart ? I thought I would get hurt when I fell, But it hurts cause I don’t fall I thought I would get hurt when I fell, But it hurts cause I don’t ever fall Come on, come on, please just help yourself Take everything you can break Come on, come on, please just help yourself Break everything you can take F*** me again, destroy me again F*** me again, destroy me again F*** me again, destroy me again F*** me again, destroy me again

Relief 03:33
Hey you, I don’t know you I wish you could be there and hold my hand… I know there’s nothing in the end I know this is all vain But it would make sense with you Regardless of the nowhere we would go, We’d just go, just together And it would be enough to make some light and see our dreams dancing ; I would hear the echo of your heartbeats and nothingness would no longer be nothingness ; I wouldn’t be afraid I wouldn’t be afraid I wouldn’t be afraid I wouldn’t be afraid I would see the reflection of my doubts in your eyes and I would know that I exist ; I would feel your breath and the rhythm of the blood in your veins ; The shivering of your eyelids would meet the wavering of the world And it would be a convenient, familiar motion to me, I wouldn’t be afraid. I wouldn’t be afraid I wouldn’t be afraid I wouldn’t be afraid I wouldn’t be afraid

I’ve lived a thousand lives And all of them were lies I entered every room And everything inside was true I opened every door And played every scenario I tried a thousand roles And found there was no best one And yet they told me To follow the yellow brick road Yes, they told me To keep my green spectacles locked But why should I stay where they say I should be ? Why should I kill all these parts of me While everything I see Is so attractive to me ? I’ve gone a lot of roads Even the tortuous ones I’ve showed all of my faces - Didn’t know I shouldn’t do this … I never could be pleased With unicity Despised security That makes everything so insipid And yet they told me To never get close to needles Yet they told me To never use the little key But why should I stay where they say I should be ? Why should I kill all these parts of me ? While everything I see Is so attractive to me ?

about

Lifeline France

« Alive » : c’est avec cet E.P. au titre éloquent que Lifeline pousse son premier cri en 2012. Aujourd'hui, fort d'un nouveau line up, le groupe évolue, ses compositions gagnent en maturité et en complexité et s’enrichissent d’influences plus indus, tout en conservant les ingrédients clés que sont les riffs de guitare puissants et une voix féminine-mais-pas-trop aux accents rock. ... more
