Explode - “F(r)âme(s)” Album

Same As Before?

Sometimes we wake up from the dream of growing up. Still numb from the cranky sleep we slowly realize that in the effort to be recognized as an adult we become someone else. We look around and we just don't know how we got there; how we accepted to be a version of ourselves that we have been always so critical about.

But are we the same? Same as before? Decisions and the compromises commanded by the passage of time transform us from young idealistic resourceful flowers to rooted disenchanted trees. The uncompromising values followed so passionately in youth faded out to a routine of alarm-car-screen-coffee-screen-lunch-coffee-screen-car-dinner-TV-sleep, where ideals seem gone.

So, how can we commit to such a schizophrenic exercise without losing a bit or a lot of ourselves in the process? We need to find holes in the emotional net created by the society. We need to make some moments still count and do not get loose in the Personal expectation<->Society expectation<->Disappointment vicious circle. We have to revive the old ideals and adapt them to the new situation.

Explode is a scream of freedom to the others, is a cry to ourselves to remember what we have been and what we can still be: faith in truth and honesty is the only way to move on!

Cheers
Stevo

Lyrics:
Used to live in freedom believing in anarchy
Everybody with me
Same views and anger, sharing struggles everyday
Fast forward in the future and you see everything has variated
Doesn’t mean that I changed
But the eyes around here watch me in a very different way

I do same things, I act like before, you never see me through the door
I love my crew, I got their backs, spend all the time workin’ soundtracks
I do same things, I act like before, you never see me through the door
Am I bad? Is it wrong? You should just turn and leave me alone

Can’t stand anymore those narrow walls, you’ve built around our souls
Harsh judgements, fake compliments, if I’ll hear them once more I’m gonna explode!!!!
Only you as the last moral hero, Can tell what’s right and what’s wrong
Sarcasm and criticisms, shut up and hear my words then your dumb head will explode!!!!

Put on a mask and behave for the society I must
But I will not adjust
Faith in truth and honesty it’s the only way to move on
I am bound to guilt and fake smiles and a slave I became
Hidden meanings to aim
In this world where people don’t share what they feel in their hearts

I do same things, I act like before, you never see me through the door
I love my crew, I got their backs, spend our time workin’ soundtracks
I do same things, I act like before, you never see me through the door
Am I bad? Is it wrong? You should just turn and leave me alone

Can’t stand anymore those narrow walls, you’ve built around our souls
Harsh judgements, fake compliments, if I’ll hear them once more I’m gonna explode!!!!
Only you as the last moral hero, Can tell what’s right and what’s wrong
Sarcasm and criticisms, shut up and hear my words then your dumb head will explode!!!! Explode!!!!
