Return to Life - DieforCity (studio take)

Author: admin  //  Category: japan city life

Written about a ferral child who was flushed into the normal life only to be driven insane by the everyday actions that we take to be the norm.

LYRICS

Return to life

Youd scratch your eyes given the chance
Life leads a lowly grail with no romance
You cant feel right
You cant feel wrong

Lonely to you be just more than a word
When sheer isolation is more than you long for
You cant feel chance
You cant feel fait

In so many ways
Your number
So unlucky
As you face lifes waves

Wants of the masses be just this and that
What dya hope for when seeing is believing
You cant feel coins
You cant feel cash

Your only expression be un-guilty fear
Howd you get in when you dont belong here
You cant feel love and
You cant feel hate

Starting out again

They play tight, ured, angular rock’n'roll and reggae, with smart-enough arrangements and some above-average lyrical ideas. Unfortunately, like their melodies, the words are too often half-baked, not quite complete or satisfying. Despite its title, the first album suffers from stiffness, as if they’re unwilling to let go.
