The swan song. Here's the perfect description for this album. It's the last work before the breakup of a band that has always managed to bring out the best of itself live. A group that has produced several singles but has never managed to make that extra leap in quality.
Four people whose sole objective has always been to make healthy rock, energetic, genuine. Catchy. But pleasantly listenable, especially thanks to the voice of singer Sandra Nasic, capable of both scratching and soothing. An album to be listened to when you're under the covers, thoughts racing through your head, before falling into Orpheus's arms. Songs like "You Can't Stop Me," "Dick," and "Kiss The Down" are in classic Guano Apes style, easily recognizable if you own one of their previous two works. Good rhythm, excellent guitar and bass, complemented by a calm and angry voice at the same time.
Songs that can pump you up, make you dream (and even cry..) like "Pretty In Scarlet," "Quietly," or "Electric Nights." Then the quartet disbands, deciding to pursue different paths after producing songs like "Lords Of The Board," "No Speech," and the cover of "Big In Japan." After all, they said it themselves. You walk a fine line, where you risk falling, and suddenly everything ends...

01 You Can't Stop Me (03:09)
You can't stop me
Someone whos coming out to see the light of our destination
A maniac neurotic fool who wants to jump off the eye
How can you know that I'm the one who lives no matter of occasion
Another road another try
Where's the difference tell me why?
You cant stop me to love the world with all its lies
Keep it to myself
Keep it to myself
You can't stop me!
I'm close enough to kiss the sky
Keep it to myself again again
Why you coming out to see the road of less destination
I want look back for the shadows that fall off to me
We're trapped in a song so we lead them to hell or our salvation
Another you another me
Where's the difference telling me??
You can't stop me to love the world with all its lies
Keep it to myself
Keep it to myself
You can't stop me
I'm close enough to kiss the sky
Keep it to myself again again
I'm just another
Broken up
Mess them up
Running to the eye (eye)
(Running to myself)
Broken up
Mess them up
Running to the cosmic ways
(Running to myself)
[2x]
You can't stop me to love the world with all its lies
Keep it to myself
Keep it to myself
Won't you stop me
I'm close enough to kiss the sky
Keep it to myself again again again again
I'm just another broken up
Mess them up
Running to the cosmic ways
02 Dick (02:42)

03 Kiss the Dawn (05:19)
Loaded forecast on you
the pants are tight
you are ready to use
searching for some trouble
who's gonna be the one
and try to feed your hunger
empty eyes
leading your own sorrow
none to get on
none to roll over this night honey
the lavatory is open
as you blocked his head away
twenty-one is such a good number
conversation lost its weight anyway
we are walking on a thin line
no you better stay away from this
and shut your mouth
and read my lips
we are just kids
do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be a doll
you won't cover me up
cause I'm the girl who kisses the dawn
kiss the dawn
kiss the dawn
rebel mad and broken
why do you throw your days away
twenty-one was not a good number
conversation lost its hate anyway
you are walking on a thin line
and you better avoid the risk
so shut your mouth
and read my lips
we are just kids
do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be your doll
you won't cover me up
cause I'm the girl who kisses the dawn
don't you talk to me
pull the string
don't want to be your doll
you can't cover me up
because I'm the girl who eats the scrub
04 Pretty in Scarlet (04:06)
...Pretty in scarlet
So pretty in scarlet...
We slept a while
to turn it off
and get it off our minds
I slept a while
to get it all
It seems alright
to find a place without a single lie
Where is the night
we ran into....
Cuz' Nothing is good
I can't explain
falling down and caught up the rain
I turn myself into changes
the night I kissed you goodbye
Cuz' Nothing is good
I can't explain
falling down and caught up the rain
I turn myself into changes
your death is over
You want to live a lie
and I'm pretty in scarlet
come on
you want to wash it down
and I'm pretty in scarlet
I turn myself to say goodbye
You want to live a lie
and I'm pretty in scarlet
come on
you want to wash it down
and I'm pretty in scarlet
I turn myself to say
It's o.k.
it doesn't count
found my place
a deeper sound
let me dive alone (2x)
You gave me wine
To poison me
and take away my time
I can hear you cry
I wonder why
Cuz' Nothing is good
I can't explain
falling down and caught up the rain
I turn myself into changes
the night I kissed you goodbye
Cuz' Nothing is good
I can't explain
falling down and caught up the rain
I turn myself into changes
your death is over
You want to live a lie
and I'm pretty in scarlet
come on
you want to wash it down
and I'm pretty in scarlet
I turn myself to say goodbye
You want to live a lie
and I'm pretty in scarlet
come on
you want to wash it down
and I'm pretty in scarlet
I turn myself to say goodbye
..Pretty in scarlet.. (3x)
You want to live a lie
and I'm pretty in scarlet
come on
you want to wash it down
and I'm pretty in scarlet
You want to live a lie
and I'm pretty in scarlet
come on
you want to wash it down
and I'm pretty in scarlet
And if you throw a stone on me (I'm pretty in scarlet)
and if you need some pain to see
and if you live your lies (I'm pretty in scarlet)
I will run, i will run, i will run, i will run away
And if you throw a stone on me (I'm pretty in scarlet)
and if you need some pain to see
and if you live your lies (I'm pretty in scarlet)
I will run..
05 Diokhan (03:34)
Stand up
don't sit in the dark
or should i call out the name of DIokhan
the penetration of my brain is so sick
I feel it every night
wounds and licks
beyond the days of sympathy
a tragic friendship is lost in me
now pull the nails out of my body
the beast is a mirror
and the mirror shot me
Would you leave my head
I'm inside your crimes
calling out the name of Diokhan.
Stand up
don't sit in the dark
you are still creeping here
and drinking another shark
the illustration of your mind
is just a trick
I smell it everywhere
rooks tres chique
beyond the nights of agony
a thousand friendships live in me
I pull the nails out of my body
the beast is a rhythm
and the rhythm got me
Would you leave my head
I'm inside your mind
calling out the name of Diokhan.
Vanity
is a therapy
in your eyes
no you got to learn how to breathe
irony
is security
in your eyes
no you got to learn how to breathe
Like a spy in my own army
you have come to
march all over me
I turn my back
you took your chance
I feel the knife
twist and turn in me
06 Electric Nights (03:26)
I Close my eyes
And forever that's the time
When we were broken
Hey you!
Why don't we hypnotise
Ourselves and all the good friends we don't like?
I know you
Having all the kind
Situation's when you had a smile inside
You would cry
I'll stop till you know better in a mezzo
I break away from home and turn to Mexico
This bullet knows to get through it all
This is the night the stars fell down
Told me
We have turned the card
My electric night, yeah
Told me
We were lucky
Just one electric night, yeah
Hey you!
No need to terrify
Ourselves from all the good plans we denied
And aren't you
The one who left my side
Cavity's calling for changes in life
Stop the stuff the diver crossed and let's go
See the path is opened up to Mexico
We have to get away from people
This is the night the stars fell down
Told me
We have turned the card
My electric night, yeah
Told me
We were lucky
Just one electric night, yeah
Told me
They have nothing onto
Electric nights, yeah
Told me
We have turned the card
My electric night, yeah
Your life is naked
Your dreams have to fight
You walk just laid-back
And never satisfied
Where are the classical pieces of jewel
You wanna know
You wanna know
Yeah, you wanna really know
They are on in here tonight
These nights have gone
Forever is the time
When we were broken
Nights have gone
Forever is the time
I think we're broken
Nights have gone
Forever is the time
When we were broken
Nights have gone
Forever is the time
I think we're broken
Told me
We have turned the card
My electric night, yeah
Told me
We were lucky
Just one electric night, yeah
Told me
They have nothing onto
Electric nights, yeah
Told me
07 Quietly (03:37)
Quietly

your insecurity is so soft to me
I can�t let you breathe in
we are falling into us
I see you dying in my eyes
Just let it all go

(we go insane)

you�re left, so am I
we leave all inside
Quietly

08 High (03:23)
So hello, how has it been?
Twentyfive years and still the same
Is it's me the night to take me here
Run for, holding the door
Apparently I missed
and risk to fall
nightmare's turned me back
into a little girl
Blind me, I fly over some place
in those days we used to run in hard
surely sooner clock wakes me up
Your nightmare's seen
and becomes a part of this existance
It is not to high
I can get it
something carries me away
It is not to high
I can get it
wake me
The wind falls, into a wave
shadows calling I'm the ache
nightmare's turned me back
into a little girl
Stuck in the mud
try to stay clear
when suddenly
and my body starts
to shiver hold me!
It is not to high
I can get it
something carries me away
It is not to high
so if you
so if you
hold me
it is not to
hold me
hold me down to ground
and my body starts
to shiver hold me
if you lie
if you fly
if you die
so if you
if you
09 Sing That Song (03:02)
Wrecking the best of me
see me front onto past disease
what's up
wrecking the rest of me
you got no sign
you got no scene
what's up
and I believe in one
that I run and i run
and I can't stop what's been done
wrecking the best of me
see me run
cause the best�s for free
and I do not care for you
Why
must
I
sing that song
Now that you got the deeds
you are forced to see
my whole entity
what's up
touching the dust of me
I got no time
but it's just for me
what's up
crawling down deep in mud
and you run and you run
you can't stop what's been done
you are running out of steam
see me pass
cause the best is not free
I do not care for you
Why
must I
sing that song
It's rock and roll
10 Scratch the Pitch (03:47)
The lines fade away they disappear
the colour of your lips wants to move on
so now
the one you are looking for
is the one without a soul
I need no reasons to feel your wave inside
so hold on
the only thing you have to know
is I see your make-up
Scratch the pitch
and fool me around
the time�s gone
and no
Don't forget
where you are coming from
hide your make-up
If pain and mania
show us what we are
I draw your skin and push you way too far
�cos tonight
I'm the one you're looking for
one more time feeding your soul
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
we fly
�cos there in the sand of our shore
lies your fear
Scratch the pitch
and fool me around
the time�s gone
and no
Don't forget
where you are coming from
hide your make-up
Scratch the pitch
and fool me around
when you're laughing
11 Plastic Mouth (04:04)
It’s a long life
a long life you have to live
for only a short time
exit will let you leave
Are you dancing
dancing all alone
with asassins who stab you down
I know how to defend
when you are in my head
I know that a storm is growing
I know how to hate everything
but soon or later
I'll win
Won’t you take off
take off that plastic mouth
you scare us
to death and more than that
Are you sharing
sharing the blood of your veins
to marry the world and its pain
I know how to defend
when you are in my head
I know that a storm is growing
I know how to hate everything
but soon or later
I'll win
We are climbing
on our faith
we are crying
with pink sour plastic mouth
we are climbing
we have to beat them
with pink sour plastic mouth
12 Counting the Days (03:38)
When you'RE down putting nothing but a mask
And you GET UP and you're running out of blast
When you picked OUT A FEATHER WRITE a word
with the debts and you set it down
But now I'm into
Like a clock...has been around
what...the town
[...]
but now
Counting the days to rearrange
Beyond the surface
We're meant to pay
counting the days to rearrange
and you won't suffer
we're still the same
When you're...spreading from the past
Like you haven't got the running on your ways
when you're a bit loaded digging UP the dirt
and you had...
but now I'm into
...on the ground
and you're dizzy, YOU'RE AD NAUSEAM AND foul
...BLEEDING ALL DOWN
but now
Counting the days to rearrange
Beyond the surface
We're meant to pay
Counting the days to rearrange
And you won't suffer
We're still the same
I'm tired of...the lies
Say you don't wannabe and so do I
Where'S the rap and respect
speaks to reach all the sides
where's the goddess bless of justify
Counting the days to rearrange
Beyond the surface
We're meant to pay
Counting the days to rearrange
And you won't suffer
We're still the same
I'm tired of...the lies
Say you don't wannabe and so do I
Where'S the rap and respect
speaks to reach all the sides
where's the goddess bless of justify
13 Storm (03:47)
Come come try
draw your scale
try to make it special
don't throw it all away
the time might be untrue
don't screw the day
Theres something more to do
You are so special
you are a special germ
you are so special
in a restless world
{Are you ready
to attack the storm
What?
Are you ready
to attack the storm
What?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?} (again)
Poor poor fame
still insane
buy me a ticket
to get and go away
the world in my pocket
shows me a way
out of empty secrets
no more yesterday
You are so special
you are a special germ
You are so special
in a restless world
{Are you ready
to attack the storm
What?
Are you ready
to attack the storm
What?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?} (again)
I agree it's enough to be just me
silently theres a private symphony
I'm lying here with some monsters in my bed
I'm crying here with some monsters in my head
...

I'm ready to run with the storm
14 Sugar Skin (04:13)
Speak your word
leave a sign
no more critics
lay it down
worst demean
I prefer you blind
to salve your remains
I adore
your last scent
sweet the water
goddamned hands
say the words
my romance before
I take your breath
Want to see you run
to
want to see you run
for
want to see you run
sugar skinned my candy crim
Search
did it hurt
naked body there you lie
don't be scared
feel the mood of your bones
they get prisoners within
there's your world
spit it out
goddamned curse so now
you are drowned
in the light you look like a
silent lean device
Want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
sugar skinned my candy crime
Want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
Sugar skinned, my candy crime
There's your shirt on the ground
runaway
there's a sound
for a minute
we kept out the cold
Want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
Sugar skinned, my candy crime
Want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
to god
want to see you run
Sugar skinned, my candy crime
Squirm to f... him
love in the dark
wouldn't you lead me
inside
your dream of sanctuary
(Sugar skinned my candy crime
..ah ah ah..)(3X)
I lay you down
I lay you down
beloved
16 Big in Japan (02:48)
Winter's city side
Crystal bits of snowflakes fall around my head and in the wind.
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find the glympse of summer heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
It's when
You're Big in Japan
Then I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan
It's easy to be...
Neon on my skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo?
Should I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history I see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
It's when
You're Big in Japan
Then I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan
It's easy to be...
I feel you'll see they way
Too late, too late... *scream*
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
It's when
You're Big in Japan
Then I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan
It's easy to be...
You're Big in Japan
Yeah and I'll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in Japan
It's easy to be...
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
You're Big in Japan
It's when
Big in Japan...
17 Living in a Lie (04:33)
Don't give me names
You've got it all, you took it all away
Drive me insane
Who'd come down to earth, releasing me
Healing my wounds
why don't you close the door when you're leaving me
now you'll run
running all the way back to me again
It's not to end in shame
to fight an endless lie
I'm not to play a game
I won't be on your side
Found a way
to reach myself again but all I saw was shame
Drive me away
there's something deep in me waiting to escape
You think you know me
so why don't you close the door when you're here with me
I'm here to end the game
I'm living in a lie
it's hard to give the same
I won't be on your side
Won't be on your side
I love you a lot
to need you a lot
I leave you alone...
(x2)
I've been living
I've been living in a lie
(x2)
I'm here to end the game
I'm living in a lie
it's hard to give the same
I won't be on your side
Won't be on your side
I love you a lot
to need you a lot
I leave you alone...
(x2)
I love you a lot
to need you a lot
(x3)
18 Maria (03:40)
Maria, ...
Raw muscles in you
and you kill for the thrill to get into this
might not be sure
to get into the sin for the human race
Maria, ...
Raw muscles in you
and you kiss for the thrill to get into this
might not be sure
to get into the sin for the human race
Give it up and give up ...
19 Mine All Mine (03:48)
See the signs, you left behind
I won't run into the trap, something's wrong, you're under control
your life has so much pain
and if water burns,(the) white bearded man,sucks out your soul
are you afraid, when I am strong
far�s my mind, just my body that's here
You better run my darling
it's fear
it's now or never, nothing's real
keep your hands away, it's mine all mine
I'm honest man , and you just laugh
there's a fire in me, you talk too much, words won't last
I want to cry out loud
my spirit of life is to live with what is wrong
going with the tide, claim to be apart
far�s your mind, it's just my body that's here
You better run my darling
it's fear
it's now or never, nothing's real
keep your hands away, it's mine all mine
see the signs on the wall
see the signs on the wall
no way, I'm out of here
die with all your money
trying to reach me
keep your hands away, it's mine all mine
keep your hands away
keep your hands away, it's mine all mine
20 Open Your Eyes (03:09)
Hide your face forever
dream and search forever
Have you ever been for sale ?
when your isms get smart
oh so selfish and mindless
with that comment in your eye
Do you think that you are hard ?
really harder than the other
man you're acting cold
if you are not in charge
Don't split your mentality
without thinking twice
your voice has got no reason
now is the time to face your lies
Open your eyes, open your mind
proud like a god don't pretend to be blind
trapped in yourself, break out instead
beat the machine that works in your head
Will you offer me some tricks
if I ever need them
would you go into that room
if I call 'em
Do you think that you are better
really better than the rest
realize there's a problem
I know that you can give your best
Have you ever had a dream?
or is life just a trip?
a trip without chances
a chance to grow up quick
Open your eyes, open your mind
proud like a god don't pretend to be blind
trapped in yourself, break out instead
beat the machine that works in your head
Hide your face forever
dream and search forever
night and night you feel nothing
there's no way outside of my land
Open your eyes, open your mind
proud like a god don't pretend to be blind
trapped in yourself, break out instead
beat the machine that works in your head
Open your eyes, open your mind
proud like a god don't pretend to be blind
trapped in yourself, break out instead
beat the machine that works in your head
21 Rain (04:37)
I believe
I still believe in your warm rain
I'm alone
Can't sleep until i feel your rain
So unreal
Can't find another place of your rain
I believe
I still believe in your warm rain
So untrue
Help me to find through your warm rain
I sent out my wishes
You gave me promises
Why don't you feel the same
(I'm sad, I feel like a little child)
I sent out my wishes
You gave me promises
Why don't you feel the same
(I'm sad and I feel like a little child,
somebody left, there is no rain)
Oh no, I'm waiting
How 'bout your rain?
I can't believe
I still believe in your rain
Like in heaven
I can't wait until I feel your rain
So where's your life?
Who's living the rest of your life?
I can't, I can't,
I can't live this life, I can't live this life
I can't see in your eyes
Can't change it, no more tries
Leave everyone with a smile
(And I'm sad, I feel like a little child)
I can't see in your eyes
Can't change it, no more tries
Leave everyone with a smile
(And you're sad, you feel like a little child,
somebody's left there is no rain)
And you'll set me free
(And you're sad, you feel like a little child)
I sent out my wishes
You gave me promises
Why don't you feel the same
(And you're sad, you feel like a little child,
somebody's left there is no rain)
