about

Over time, we have all learned to wear different masks or faces to protect our innermost selves. Until that one special person enters our lives to whom we want to reveal ourselves completely. The one who sees through our charade, holds the mirror up to us. Then, we slowly strip away layer after layer. This process can be both overwhelming and liberating. Evidently Exposed, is about the interplay of those conflicting emotions and ends in the acceptance of being honest and vulnerable and sharing personal worries, desires and fears with the other person.

lyrics

deception painted onto me,
like i’m a canvas of some sort
and all the layers are peeling off of me.
oh, how revealing. how inconvenient.
and i cannot help myself but wonder
if i’m see-through once i take it off
and if i’m fading into gray?
will i be translucent?
evidently exposed.

how come we’re so indecisive,
in choosing those rituals
we faithfully perform?
we often find ourselves delirious.
unreasonably mysterious.

ambiguous territory. for now.
we’re being guided
by visions in clouds.
And being apart seems quite irrational.
for now, we drown our feelings
in kitchen sinks.

tell me all about your sorrow,
place your hand in mine.
we’ll wear them out in style.
just in case that we won’t make it
or succeed, well bath our aching
hearts in chamomile.
potions will purify.

ambiguous territory. for now.
we’re being guided
by visions in clouds.

being intertwined is achievable.
physically, reasonable.
biologically.
at least for me.
for us, for you, for me, for we.

When asked how to describe their music, the band chose: trip-hop-inspired, jazz-influenced, synthesizer-backed hybrid-pop - and all these concepts can be felt and heard when immersing into the alpha-sound. ... more
