Open Seas 03:54
You’re homeward bound and hope that you’ll find The safe lovely place the way that you left it But no, that is not your home, you keep dreaming on to mislead yourself I don’t like you, you’re not like this What have you become? You could have been leaving it all behind When the golden sun rose up over the bay Should have been turning your ship around to the open seas Waves were rolling on underneath And the morning wind swept through the deck again Should have been falling in love with it But you’re not like this But you’re not like this I don’t like you, you’re not like this What have you become? You’re questioning yourself What went wrong You’re homeward bound and hope that you’ll find The safe lovely place the way that you left it But no, that is not your home, you keep dreaming on to mislead yourself You’re homeward bound and hope that you’ll find The safe lovely place the way that you left it But no, that is not your home, you keep dreaming on The sky is your open sea You could have been leaving it all behind When the golden sun rose up over the bay Should have been turning your ship around to the open seas Waves were rolling on underneath And the morning wind swept through the deck again Should have been falling in love with it But you’re not like this But you’re not like this

Now you should go and leave me lying here It’s getting late, you should leave me lying here Look at me, I am weak and you have seen me fall Look at me, I am just a burden for you all So you should go and leave me lying here They’re on your back, you should leave me lying here Look at me once more and take this picture with you Look at me once more and take this picture with you You carry me out (I know you well), you carry me out (I know you well, you carry me out), but you need to leave me, need to leave me here For you it’s not the end of the fight Grab your gun again and break through the lines Something good will follow, break through the lines In your heart I know you carry me out Leave me here and time will bury me Deep down in the ground

The Room 05:10
Spending too many hours in this transitory death But in the decisive moment the eyelids close And so does the gate of understanding I won’t avoid pain I won’t avoid life Neither the arcane I won’t avoid anything to feel that I’m alive I laugh at Life’s hollow threats For I’m ready to take the last breath The armrest’s dying Under your unseen, sick touching of fingers Clotted is your confused presence Dark was the day and everything was silent Dark was the room and I was someone else You told me that I was gonna be the patient But then you lost yourself again Dark was your mind and you were afraid again To live your own life and to unbend yourself I was just unable to help you find a way I tried so hard to escape but you forced me to stay Tried to inprison me in your mental cage Swallowed by your own room and your mind With my eyes like knives And you’re the bleeding one tonight

What lovely weather, do you feel the breeze on your skin? Nothing really matters, let the sunshine in Let’s take a walk together, I want to hear the words that you say Trying hard to forget, we’ll be gone one day And it’s all we have And it’s all we know We’ll be gone one beautiful day but I don’t care and I hide my pain Smile again As long as I live, sun will shine on me Shining on me

about

While our first album which was varied in song structure, rhythms and styles, it was really dense, drums, bass and guitars almost always playing something, on this EP we started focusing on the contrast of dense and sparse, instrumentation and arrangement, culminating in Мәншүк (Manshuk). Also we were experimenting with going acoustic a little bit, and new instruments (violin, cello, piano, udu), to show off our creative capabilities and we had the chance to work with some super talented people (see Manshuk and The Room).

About the title:
If you are an artist, you will struggle with originality; having too much of it or having the lack of it.

We are not unique, because we play music with instruments, we write lyrics - we didn't invent guitar playing, neither tuning nor song structures.
We are not unique, so there are people like us - we are not alone.
We are not unique, and being unique is not a value in itself - so it's not a loss.
But if we are not unique at all, there's no meaning in recreating what already exists.
