Weights

You can always
Say you remember
When the time is right
You can always
Kill the contender
In an unfair fight
So they wait and they wait
But they never will
Always stopped by misplaced feelings
And the last thing you would do
Tell anyone at all
But it weighs and it weighs
And your body screams
For the only shameful healing
Save your breath for the after life
If there's any one at all
I failed to resist
Thousand weights pull me aside
Can't keep the balance right
I’ll try, I’ll try
I’ll try
You can always
Stay a pretender
In your public life
Never cave in
Never surrender
To the other side
Yet it weighs and it weighs
On your your body still
Every heartbeat sends you reeling
Couldn't wait for an honest turn
So many years ago
It's too late it's too late
Now you never will
As your debts rise to the ceiling
Playing house of cards instead
With everyone you know
I failed to resist
Thousand weights pull me aside
Can't keep the balance right
I tried, I tried
I tried

To find out what it means to be
Suspend your bias and disbelief
Enough for you to think it’s real
The voice inside is always right
You’re too rebellious
Stop acting selfless
I’m telling you what anyone would do
Until you make it
You’ll have to fake it
You must become what everybody wants
Share a story
And push it onto to everyone
Make them all
Like it, Like it
Stay in motion
Present yourself to everyone
Just to keep your
Numbers rising, rising
Then you realize
You’re feeling the same
Never alive
It’s all in vain
Oh I cannot fake it anymore
I want to get myself replaced
Enough for them to think it’s real
My copy and paste and copy and paste appeal
I’m growing hatred
Becoming jaded
My life attracts the people I despise
I want to break it
And rearrange it
To disappear before their very eyes
Share a story
And push it onto to everyone
Make them all
Like it, Like it
Stay in motion
Present yourself to everyone
Just to keep your
Numbers rising, rising
Then you realize
You’re feeling the same
Never alive
It’s all in vain
I can’t do this anymore
Promise me forevermore
Promise me forevermore
Move towards a different door
Something that’s worth waiting for
Something that’s worth waiting for
Where is all the healthy air
Promised to be everywhere
Promised to be everywhere
Shift into a different form
Something that’s worth waiting for
Something that’s worth waiting for
You can’t do this anymore
Promise me forevermore
Promise me forevermore

Lives

Dependencies, they’re cause for destruction
Creating distractions, invoking reactions
Oh can’t you see
It’s all about the possibilities
You grew up in
You grew up in
I left it all
In the hands of the world
To cause decay
Till all is gone
(Sorry that) I left it all
(Brought up for years) In the hands of the world
(Stories) To cause decay
(Make it all undone) Till all is gone
It’s not that we could say
That we would never tell a lie at all
It’s not that we would say
That we could ever save a life at all
I left it all
In the hands of the world
To cause decay
Till all is gone
Stories come to life
Hold your trusted wife
No sorry can make it right
No matter how hard you multiply
It’s not that we could say
That we would never tell a lie at all
It’s not that we would say
That we could never face this life at all
These lies of the civilized
Lies of the civilized
Lies of the civilized life
If you go away
It will never come
If you go away
It will never come
If you go away
It will never come back

Another Way

I’ve come to say I love you
And find my aim again
At night I want to sleep beside you
Get carried away into another day
Dreams and thoughts I don’t amount to
Everything I know about you
I’m wasting every step a mile behind
Please ignite ambition inside me
Erase my fears and hold my tightly
You’ve helped me clear my mind of this before
Let me find another way
Let me find another way
I feel it rise above me
In the clouds
Your hands are here to guide me
Their weight will keep me on the ground
Your warmth alone revitalized me
So that I awake much stronger all around
Slowly growing ever more likely
Lead me to the lightning that strikes me
Make it send a spark into my bones
Failure made me walk astray
It’s just as hard for me to say
I feel it rise above me in the clouds

Fame and glory
It's the same old story
You can't always be the best
You should put your mind to rest
You are a failure from the start
You are a piece of fading art
You are a failure from the start
You are a piece of fading art
I can’t relate, I can’t relate
And you're feeding on the end of the line
I can’t relate, I can’t relate
And now everything that happened is gone
Wait till all is dry
I will make it right
When the sun replaces
What the mind erases
Everybody’s silent
Everybody’s silent
Seven PM but no one’s moving
Always uninvited
Always uninvited
Told me on the phone that you’re still brewing
Solely undecided
Solely undecided
Sit in the rain of your own doing
Totally misguided
Totally misguided
Paving the road to your own ruin
I can’t relate, I can’t relate
And you're feeding on the end of the line
I can’t relate, I can’t relate
And now everything that happened is gone

Echolox Düsseldorf, Germany
An alternative blend of Pop and Electro filling a gap in the polycentric Ruhrarea.
Echolox captures
the millennial disillusion and cynicism in an electronic, hyper-connected era. Yet shimmers of hope and love keep you from falling to the floor and assuming the fetal position in a push and shove of energetic melancholia. It’s hardly categorizable, but somehow you know exactly where it is.

Beautiful and melancholic. Can't get True North out of my head ever since I heard it for the first time in a Cafe in Bochum.
