Alex Summers I LOVE this album. It combines so many styles and does it in such a clever and musical way. The melodies are simultaneously simple yet memorable, and there is no lack of musical cleverness in song and chord structure..

And, I love the vocals in every
tune. They are sophisticated and always act to propel the tune forward. Everything I hear seems to have a purpose.

GREAT job by Bloo Burds. Favorite track: Destroy Yourself (ft. Easlern).

Nanomites 02:57
[Chorus] Do you feel the nanomites? Is there something in your mind? (Do you feel it, oh) (Do you feel it now) Your heart keeps beating That’s how you get with the program Serotonin rising We kick it off like a slow jam And is that ringing Driving you insane? [Verse 1] We’re living in a post-personality world Mass producing emotion And you could be my post-morality girl But do you get Down with the upgrades Down with the upgrades Down with the upgrades Do the upgrades get you down? [Chorus] Do you feel the nanomites? Is there something in your mind? (Do you feel it, oh) (Do you feel it now) Your heart keeps beating That’s how you get with the program Serotonin rising We kick it off like a slow jam And is that ringing Driving you insane? [Verse 2] Baby, do you get enough stim-stim-stim-stimulation? Baby, you’re my favourite simulation And we’re just dreams, cancer for reality But do you get High off the download High off the download High off the download Does the download get you high? [Chorus] Do you feel the nanomites? Is there something in your mind? Do you feel the nanomites? Is there something in your mind? (Do you feel it oh) (Do you feel it now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now)

[Chorus] 'Cause when it gets too much, you gotta let me know Emotions running high, can’t keep it on the low And if you feel that rush, you gotta let it go Lost in sweet delusions [Verse 1] Euphoria Must be something in the atmosphere And it was glorious Ooh, and we were dancing on thin air [Pre-chorus] 'Cause when your mind starts slipping and your head starts tripping And your heart starts fluttering, stop You start to wonder if you’re dreaming And when your blood starts rushing and our souls start touching And the love starts bubbling up What’s real to you is real enough [Chorus] 'Cause when it gets too much, you gotta let me know Emotions running high, can’t keep it on the low And if you feel that rush, you gotta let it go Lost in sweet delusions [Verse 2] Phantasmagoria A song that’s got no rhythm got no rhyme And it’s notorious Ooh, it gets us every time [Pre-chorus] 'Cause when your mind starts slipping and your head starts tripping And your heart starts fluttering, stop You start to wonder if you’re dreaming And when your blood starts rushing and our souls start touching And the love starts bubbling up What’s real to you is real enough [Chorus] 'Cause when it gets too much, you gotta let me know Emotions running high, can’t keep it on the low And if you feel that rush, you gotta let it go Lost in sweet delusions [Bridge] Why do we try to fight these delusions? If it's in your head It's more than an illusion [Chorus x2] 'Cause when it gets too much, you gotta let me know Emotions running high, can’t keep it on the low And if you feel that rush, you gotta let it go Lost in sweet delusions

Automaton 03:09
[Verse 1] (Rah-rah-rah ooh) You see them walking down the same old street (Rah-rah-rah ooh) They’re even dancing to the disco beat But I know something that’ll blow your mind (Rah-rah-rah ooh) Their swagger's got you so impressed (Rah-rah-rah ooh) And they could even pass the Turing test But open up that shell and you will find There’s nothing inside [Chorus] From the morning, to the evening, to the midnight From a Monday, to the weekend, for their whole life Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) [Verse 2] (Rah-rah-rah ooh) You try to reach ’em, but they got no soul (Rah-rah-rah ooh) They don’t believe in rock and roll But I know something that’ll blow your mind (Rah-rah-rah ooh) Like animals up in the zoo (Rah-rah-rah ooh) They eat and sleep and reproduce But look into the mirror and you’ll see They’re you and me [Chorus] From the morning, to the evening, to the midnight From a Monday, to the weekend, for your whole life Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) [Bridge] Close your eyes, what do you see? Is your life stuck on repeat? [Chorus x2] From the morning, to the evening, to the midnight From a Monday, to the weekend, for your whole life Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on) Automaton (just keep moving on)

[Verse 1] You were roundabout I was down and out We were inside out But we didn't have a care You were circumstance I was take a chance We were at first glance We were setting suns [Chorus] We were falling Faster than (with no direction) We were falling (Past the point of no return) [Verse 2] You were tried and true I was black and blue We were overdue But we couldn't break the spell You were all depends I was odds and ends We were more than friends [Chorus x2] We were falling Faster than (with no direction) We were falling (Past the point of no return)

[Verse 1] The planet falls beneath your feet The beams of light that shine around you Filter through the dusty sheen of a cloud above the ocean Wading through a thunderstorm A shimmer in the haze confounds you Slipping past the threshold of the transient horizon [Verse 2] Gliding through the cosmic sphere Ego seems to disappear When taking off and landing in the mist beyond the veil Soaring at the speed of dreams The echoes ripple deep within you And though you fall, a fragment lingers there amongst the stars

[Chorus - Katie J) You were wishing on a love That would fall out of the sky Won’t you open up your arms? Let me be your dream tonight [Verse 1 - Bloo Burds] What’s a wish to a dreamer? What’s a love to a stone? What’s a stone to a moonbeam? You better leave it alone When the seeds have been sown, and there ain’t no place You can bleed on your own, so you make your chase And you breathe and you gasp, and you’re trapped, no escape But tell me how can you sleep when it’s cold? When you needing a light for the road Is believing a lie for the soul? Is deceiving what’s right for the whole? Tell me how could you know? Sometimes taking a chance Means receiving a blow And you ride with the high, but can’t deal with the low If we're falling in sync we can meet on the floor Or below, that's just how this thang go [Chorus - Katie J) You were wishing on a love That would fall out of the sky Won’t you open up your arms? Let me be your dream tonight [Verse 2 - Bloo Burds] Have we been here before? Is it déjà vu? Do we come with a lock? Open up and let the pain run through Cause we tainted, we’ve fallen from grace, and let’s face it You and I can’t survive in a stasis If you don’t mind the pace, I can take you to the other side of the zone (Tonight) So if I wish on love (Tonight) And the wish came true (Tonight) Could we be above? (Tonight) Could we make it through? (Tonight) Were you made for me? (Tonight) Was I made for you? (Tonight) Have we been here before, huh? (Tonight) I guess it’s déjà vu [Chorus - Katie J) You were wishing on a love That would fall out of the sky Won’t you open up your arms? Let me be your dream tonight [Outro - Bloo Burds] How can you sleep when it’s cold? When you needing a light for the road Is believing a lie for the soul? Is deceiving what’s right for the whole? Taking a chance means receiving a blow And you ride with the high, but can’t deal with the low If we're falling in sync we can meet on the floor Or below, that's just how this thang go

[Verse 1] And he was dreaming of the real thing While he sitting there staring at the ceiling Images and videos to make him feel things Chilling in a chat room on the weekend He want a love like you see on the TV screen How to get it? Alone in a world where nobody see the virtue of a boy in love How pathetic And she was dreaming of the real thing Popping pills so that she don’t gotta feel things Feeling numb 'cause somebody made her feel things Now she don’t know how to cope with all these feelings But when she log on she can be someone else About the only place she can leave from herself And on a night when the stars aligned They both logged on at half past nine And they met online [Verse 2] What they have is little mixed blessing Late night texting, and they romance over instant messaging The slow dance begins, and when lights get dim They escape from the daily stressing They got connection that’s real As the pain they feel, even though reality stay depressing But when she gotta log off It’s back to feeling off, gotta pop another anti-depressant Now he don’t feel so alone Cuz he knows when he’s home, he’s got something for his own Even though the truth keep intervening He’s craving her touch, but there’s an ocean that’s lying in between 'em And she’s wishing for his hand to hold Cause sometimes when she lets her mind roam she just gets so cold He says I know I can’t be there by your side But every night when it’s half past nine, we can meet online [Verse 3] She’s fading fast, she’s 'bout to crash Pull off the scab, her soul gush out the gash Alone in a world misunderstood Prospects, they don’t look so good And meanwhile he been daily on the grind Push the pain out of his mind, 'cause he gotta get a ticket to ride To leave his shallow life behind and make a dash But first he gotta get this cash, he did the math And thinking bout the future is what gets him through the present Where he doesn’t have a presence and his past is omnipresent Because she the only reason that he’s breathing still They’ve gotta be together, he believes he will And that night when her tears start to flow He promises that she don’t gotta cry no more Only a matter of time, and I’ma get myself a ticket to ride And I’ma leave this life behind And we can meet offline [Verse 4] Sometimes planes crash before they can take off Sometimes hopes dash before they can pay off It’s a travesty, the tragedy of living Is that life’s unforgiving, and this was no different Somebody made her feel things, left her with a burden The pills numb her mind but her soul’s still hurting He’s out of a job, and he’s falling apart, he’s afflicted Alone and he’s getting evicted When the weight gets too heavy to hold, we try to share But the weight was too heavy to bear, so to spare themselves They made a pact, a desperate act A last-ditch tactic, and the way they planned it Was to leap at the promised time And it gave them the peace of mind To know that they were finally gonna be united Put the grief behind, and when the clock struck half past nine They met offline [Outro] Well maybe we can’t board a plane But we can get off this plane I said we gotta take a leap of faith If we ever wanna leave this place And maybe we can't board a plane But we can get off this plane And we gotta take a leap of faith

[Chorus - Easlern] Destroy yourself Don't let 'em take it all Strike the match Before they suck your soul [Verse 1 - Bloo Burds] Our generation is not a nation The notion of conflating us with them’s an abomination Inflation: the theory that everyone around me Is full of hot air We all sleepwalk, make no mistake That’s why when you die they call it a wake You work nine to five, so that you could buy the dreams that they sell All the dreams that you buy gather dust on the shelf What do terrorists and corporations have in common? They both commit murder in the name of a profit One spills blood, the other ambition They both share a goal: that’s to beat us to submission Will you listen? You wonder why we always lose We avert our eyes; they watch our every move Entertainment in a movie is disturbing in the news We prefer the lie; so they cover up the truth [Chorus - Easlern] Destroy yourself Don't let 'em take it all Strike the match Before they suck your soul [Verse 2 - Bloo Burds] We are not free; freedom is a concept Meant to appease, as long as you believe that you’re free You’re a slave to your own mind We are not men, we are dronekind We’re addicted to patterns, rinse and repeat We’re addicted to patterns, rinse and repeat We are taught that death is to be feared It’s wrong to be weird Melt into the crowd, let yourself disappear What is rhyme? Rhyme is comfort The antithesis to chaos, keeping time, that is rhythm Constraints, melody, never go between the lines Harmony, let’s pretend that we’re alike Company, let’s pretend we’re not alone Luxury, let’s pretend that they don’t own Our identities, what is destiny? Destiny is the religion of the enemy [Chorus - Easlern x2] Destroy yourself Don't let 'em take it all Strike the match Before they suck your soul

[Chorus - Bloo Burds] At the end of days ain’t a damn thing changed We keep trampling on our neighbours as we fall With our backs up to the wall Apocalypse (now now now) [Verse 1 - Bloo Burds] The revelation is this: See the flash as your flesh turns to ash, and your blood turns to mist There’s a hole in the sky, then you catch your reflection And see that the hole’s in your mind You’ve been fooled, we’re the waste product of Being led to believe that the world’s not enough So we turn to the dream, and you’ve got no mouth But inside you’re just dying to scream And the mushroom cloud’s gonna rain down acid Airborn plague will infect the masses Glaciers melt and the greenhouse gases Erode our atmosphere No one’s gonna stop the machine uprising Extraterrestrials colonizing The horsemen gather round As it all comes crumbling down [Chorus - Bloo Burds] At the end of days ain’t a damn thing changed We keep trampling on our neighbours as we fall With our backs up to the wall Apocalypse (now now now) [Verse 2 - Bloo Burds] The revelation is this: the earth starts to quake And the ground starts to break, and we all plummet down the abyss There’s a crack in the sky, then you catch your reflection And see that the crack’s in your eye You’ve been fooled, we’re the by-product of Being led to believe that the answer is love So we turn to the dream, and the dream pulls back To reveal an apocalypse scene: See the devils running 'round with their pitchforks, stabbing Gouging out the eyes of an infant, drowning Swimming in the blood of the virgins, choking Clawing at their eyes while their bones are roasting Watching all the kids get devoured by the locusts Zombies eat your brain while it’s in psychosis Brothers and sisters in the flame You start to salivate [Chorus - Bloo Burds] At the end of days ain’t a damn thing changed We keep trampling on our neighbours as we fall With our backs up to the wall Apocalypse (now now now) [Bridge - Miles Canady] Gather 'round with our heads bowed As we try to ignore the clouds It's our last second breathing I pull you close and breathe in I feel it coming, it's my last second breathing So I pull you closer and I breathe in I feel it coming, it's my last second breathing So I pull you closer and I breathe in The end [Outro - Bloo Burds] Don’t let them, don’t let them Don’t let them take your soul
