Disco-nnect

You make me dead inside, I see no guiding light
I see no purpose in forgiving and trying to fix it
I want no more confusion, don't want this endless war
This is the end of the world that we created from nothing

~~*~~

Heavy

They built you a cage, of diamonds and gold
Most beautiful place, for you to grow old
They brought you the Moon, and served you the lie
And all that you wanted, was freedom to fly

It's heavy
But you are not the only one
Who's tired of giving
Afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the crown on your head never felt this, heavy

Harness your rage, take a leap of faith
To claim back your soul, before it's too late
Show them no fear, sing them goodbye
Leave all but your heart, and you're free to fly

It's heavy
But you are not the only one
Who's tired of giving
Afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the weight of the world never felt this, heavy

Take the evident leap of faith
Don't you be afraid

It's heavy
But you are not the only one
Who's tired of giving
Afraid of the oblivion
Could it be that your curse is a bliss?
But the cross that you bear never felt this, heavy

You are not the only one
Tired of living
Afraid of the oblivion
Cause the crown on your head, the smile that you wear
The cross that you bear never felt this, heavy

(You are not the only one)

The crown on your head never felt this
Heavy

Have A Little Mercy

Mirror on the wall tell another lie
Lie about my age the colour of my eyes
Mirror on the wall show me what it's like
Staring at a face that greets you with a smile
Mirror on the wall tell me how it feels
Being satisfied feeling good inside
Mirror on the wall show me what it's like
Loving someone so it makes you wanna cry

Tell another story tell me not to worry
Let me find a reason
Tell me that I'm good just the way I am

Tell another story with happy ending
Tell me not to worry
Keep on pretending
Tell me there's a sky outside the window
Tell me there is light behind the door

Have a little mercy
Don't let me break up
Say that it's all over before I wake up
Let me fall asleep
I must have been dreaming after all
Have a little mercy

Mirror on the wall tell another lie
Lie about my age the colour of my eyes
Mirror on the wall show me what it's like
Staring at a face that greets you with a smile
Have a little mercy

Don't let me break up
Say that it's all over before I wake up
Let me fall asleep
I must have been dreaming after all
Have a little mercy

Hello

Silently breathing the air of December
Window's left open she lies on the floor
No further questions the jury has spoken
Nobody hears as she whispers the call

Hello
Is there anybody out there in the cold?
Hello
If there's anybody else who's left alone
Hello, hello

Injustice has won as she climbs on the platform
Strangers are staring and waving goodbye
Closing her eyes from the madness around her
Breathing the air of this world one last time

Hello
Is there anybody out there in the cold?
Hello
If there's anybody else who's left alone

Maybe it's like falling asleep
Maybe it's not so bad
I ain't gonna leave here feeling guilty
I ain't gonna let you have that

Go ahead crush and break my bones
But you will never touch my soul
I would rather ride a bolt of lightning
Than feel nothing at all

Anybody out there in the cold?
Is there anybody out there at all?

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

~~*~~

In The City

You and me 'til the end of time
Tears of joy in my eyes as you walk down the aisle
We'll never be apart
Made a vow in front of everyone
We would dance 'til the dawn to welcome the new sun
We'll never be apart

But somewhere in time, in the distant horizon
A seed of the storm, a shadow was born
I couldn't change, should have known myself better
I should have known I belong

In the city
Such a lonely sky in the city
Miss you like a fool, I admit it
I belong to the city
For a minute
I though I was in love for a minute
Such a silly though, I admit it
I belong to the city

As I'm leaving your loving arms
Tears of joy in my eyes as I walk out the door
The ring lies on the floor

I don't know why, but I don't feel sorry
for you and I, for anyone else
You'll be alright, you deserve to be loved
By someone who loves no-one else

In the city
Such a lonely sky in the city
Miss you like a fool, I admit it
I belong to the city
For a minute
I though I was in love for a minute
Such a silly though, I admit it
I belong to the city

I should have known by now

So I guess I was blind
Too young for your heart
To hell with the line, 'til death do us part
Don't cry for yesterday, it was meant to be this way
So baby goodbye

I though I was in love for a minute
Such a silly though, I admit it
I belong to the city
I should have known by now
In the city
I though I was in love for a minute
Such a silly though, I admit it
I belong to the city

You Don't Remember My Name

Feeling
I thought I'd never get this feeling
My heart has never been so open, for anyone
Slowly
Time is moving on so slowly
I've been waiting for this moment
Like the rising sun

But you don't remember, you don't remember
You don't remember my name
You don't remember, you don't remember
you don't remember my name
You'll never love me
You live above me
I will return to my cave
You don't remember
You don't remember my name

Feeling
I know I can't afford this feeling
My heart has never been so broken, for anyone
Breathing
What if just stop breathing?
As long as you're on my radar my world is undone

What if I'd just lay down and close my eyes
Would I wake up to a new day?
What if I just don't want the second prize
Without you there is no beauty
What if I'd just lay down and close my eyes
Would I wake up to a new day?
Without you there is no beauty

But you don't remember, you don't remember
You don't remember my name
You don't remember, you don't remember
You don't remember my name
You'll never love me
You live above me
I will return to my cave
You don't remember
You don't remember my name

What if I'd just lay down and close my eyes
Would I wake up to a new day?
What if I just don't want the second prize
Without you there is no beauty

~~*~~

Because Of You

Because of you I find myself surviving trying harder
Because of you I've done things that I never thought of doing
I let my soul to taste the pain
I put myself against the grain

Because of you
I don't allow the night
To fill my sky, to darken my view
Because of you
I lean towards the light
Because of you I have something to lose

You watch and learn never complain about mistakes I'm making
Your trusting eyes burn on my skin inside my heart is weeping
I miss the years of disarray
But I'm afraid of yesterday

Because of you
I don't allow the night
To fill my sky, to darken my view
Because of you
I lean towards the light
Because of you I have something to lose

Because of you
Because of you

~~*~~

What Are You Waiting For?

Tell me you love me
Tell me a lie
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for?

Tell me a story
Pretend that it's true
What are you waiting
What are you waiting for?

~~*~~

Got You On My Mind

Come my love, take my frozen hand
And my head, in your arms
High so high I shall climb
Because my soul flew ahead

I'll never know if I don't go and see what's on the other side
I'll never stop thinking of you
I've got you on my mind

Touch my hair like a spider
Make me forget, what I am
Touch my skin with your breasts
They don't know me at all, like you do

I'll never know if I don't go and see what's on the other side
I'll never stop thinking of you
I've got you on my mind

I'm fading out

~~*~~

New World

Don't be afraid
I just wanted to see the sun
Hold it, the one last, time
I just wanted, to touch the sky
I wanted to feel the rain
The shine
One, more, time

~~*~~

CITAZIONE

Lauri's solo album New World is completely different from the material that we've used to hear from The Rasmus. And that's the whole idea.
"On this album you don't hear guitars. Still some of the songs 'rock' harder than any other song I've made in the past. The music is very visual; you can find 'Vangelis' Blade Runner type of moods and many different variations of electronic music styles all mixed up... Altogether the feeling on the album is quite dramatic with the long instrumental parts, still not forgetting the more radio type of pop songs," says Lauri.

"Hi! Here are the lyrics for the first single 'Heavy' (coming out February 25). I wrote them while I was in Singapore visiting Pauli (The Rasmus). The song is based on an interesting conversation I had with a local taxi driver one night. We were talking about what it means to have the freedom of speech. He told me a story of a bird in a golden cage, where all the beauty and wonders of life has been brought infront of him but only thing he really wants is freedom. He asked me to write a song about it, so I went back to my hotel and did it that night. I really hope he's able to hear this song one day!"
