MY OWN REMAINS Do you feel closer now?
 There’s no link, no common ground I don’t feel sorry now
 I’m not your perfect dream
 The ends don’t jusOfy the means You call it sound, I call it scream I’m out of words right now Wish you could show me how It all got turned upside down Won’t listen to my brain
 It’s driving me insane
 I’m picking up my own remains They’re buried deep inside Nothing seems so fun right now but what can I do?
 If I could leave it all behind then I would do that for you
 My guess is that I’m growing old and I don’t think that’s okay Well I am only 23 and stil l got a lot to say
 I got a lot to say Like I’m living in the safe place they tried to make I sit and bleed now
 California screams silent in my broken dreams
 A seed now is growing deep inside Nothing seems so fun right now but what can I do?
 If I could leave it all behind then I would do that for you
 My guess is that I’m growing old and I don’t think that’s okay Well I am only 23 and still l got a lot to say
 I got a lot to say I’m picking up my own remains They’re buried deep inside now

BACK OF THE LINE I’m looking for an answer
 Another one just to bring me down
 I think I’ve never been so low and so loud
 I try to fight against it
 But I can’t even explain to you how
 We’re walking hand in hand but cuffed to the ground I wait down in the back of the line
 Just like everything is fine
 Feeling so numb in my head but so wide eyed To any opportunity
 Knocking inside of my brain
 Unlocking me out of the chains I sill hide I’m not reciOng no poetry
 And you’re not looking at me
 I bring no sunshine along with me And I pay no mind to your relief
 I have been dreaming about it Feeling so incomplete
 I’ve been drinking and lying About living life so honestly I wait down in the back of the line
 Just like everything is fine
 Feeling so numb in my head but so wide eyed To any opportunity
 Knocking inside of my brain
 Unlocking me out of the chains I sill hide As long as I live
 I wanna feel as young as I did when I got here
 There’s nothing lek to hate
 And nothing lek to break in my heart that I won’t care That I won’t care

2008 04:42
2008 This Ome I’m not feeling the floor, I feel so sick, so stranded
 In such a massive mix of boredom, freedom, bad sleep and despair I died so long ago and buried deep concepts and meanings So overrated, so absurd, I wish I could bring them back
 To feel that I’m not misleading, to check if I’m sill breathing In and out then trying once again Like a rerun life, like a one way drive
 Like a TV screen on a stupid dream I’m not home Bring me back 2008
 Bring me back 17
 Get me out of this circle of hate I’m in I’m not trying to fix it anymore, some things you just leave behind But leave a slightly open door, keep it away but alive Like you hair turns grey and guitar strings break I will lay awake and pretend I’ll take it from here Take away this ball and chain
 My taste for reveries
 Wash this daze off my face and just let me live and resist I’m not buying, I’m not trying
 This is not a race for gold, we’re sOll young, sOll bold, we’re sOll here I’m so sick of lying
 Sick of toasts made to the past, I won’t raise my glass
 Higher than the crest of the wave that leads my new way Bring back life, open the gates
 Take your Ome, just set me free
 And shine some light on my stupid face again

FLAT ON THE GROUND Have you seen the place around?
 It looks like a fucking ghost town
 Full of anger behind all the boredom
 Take a trip to the real world
 Leave behind your heart and soul
 Feel the pain, feel the sickness, the poison Therapies are make beliefs And they are doing all they can To get us on our knees That’s what we get when we think out loud That’s what we get when we lose
 That’s when we start to refuse to grow old And get used to being one in the crowd The train is leaving now, my friend
 You won’t get inside again
 Till they see what you hide in your pockets
 Try and stand sOll while you bleed
 Hold on to what you believe
 Your own hands hide the keys to destroy them Destiny is naiveté
 And there is not a recipe To tell us what to be That’s what we get when we think out loud That’s what we get when we lose
 That’s when we start to refuse to grow old And get used to being one in the crowd That’s when they think they can let us down That’s when they start to abuse That’s when we die in between
 Leaving nothing but dreams lying flat on the ground

Big Lie 02:53
BIG LIE I’m on the verge of breaking down
 I’m tired of living on a chase, I’m gonna leave this town Throughout the years I never ran away
 I’ll pack my bags, get off the bed, I’m gonna make my way I’ve got a vision that you’re not allowed to ignore
 It’s like a life-size roundabout
 Throughout the years I never ran away
 I keep on standing, keep on hanging on to beser days The gun to my head shows that I’m right The piss in your bed hides a big lie
 Hides a big lie I’m on the verge of breaking down
 I’m sick of living on a chase, I’m gonna leave this town Throughout the years I never ran away
 I’ll soon be hanging on a rope if I don’t find my way I’ve got a vision that you’re not allowed to ignore
 It’s like a life-size roundabout
 Throughout the years I never ran away
 I’ll take my chance and soon be dancing on your fucking grave The gun to my head shows that I’m right The piss in your bed hides a big lie
 Hides a big lie The gun to my head shows that I’m right You know the piss in your bed hides a big lie Hides a big lie

OUT OF MY MESS Honey, I’ve been thinking
 About who we are, about peace, about war As I wait for you to sit and wait
 For me to bring some light out of my mess Out of my mess Maybe I’ve been creeping
 You out way too much, maybe I’m out of touch And it’s not so clear that I have no fear about you Be strong, try to fill up your lungs
 I won’t let you live your life in sorrow Hold on, ‘cause you’re never alone Don’t you ever think about tomorrow Out there we’re all so weak
 We’d have never thought we’d feel so cheap Just let me tell you that I love you
 100 fucking times before we sleep
 Before we sleep Be strong, try to fill up your lungs
 I won’t let you live your life in sorrow Hold on, ‘cause you’re never alone Don’t you ever think about tomorrow

STEREOTYPE FREAK SHOW Lonely eyes, so lisle Ome
 I guess it’s getng worse in me Silent cries, hidden goldmines I don’t know where I wanna be We’re dragged into this dirty place Of broken homes and money chase Where everything looks so familiar And I feel so ashamed I feel so ashamed Guess who’s wrong but not alone Everything’s where it all should be Rusty bones and cheaOng thrones Telling what they don’t wanna see Lack of faith and inner hate It makes me feel like I am weak
 So sit and wait for something great Is this my fate? I wouldn’t let one of my devils take control
 I’ll be gone as soon as I can, that’s all I know
 I won’t be a part of this stereotype freak show I wouldn’t let one of my devils This isn’t all we have
 Does it ring a fucking bell?
 We don’t need this living hell
 And we will get old and grey inside the same old shell I wouldn’t let one of my devils take control
 I’ll be gone as soon as I can, that’s all I know
 I won’t be a part of this stereotype freak show I wouldn’t let one of my devils

REACH THE SKY So I lay and every second awake
 My brain regrets every Ome of my day My memories keep me breathing tonight I can’t believe I just lost track of tme I’m so sick of finding an answer
 I just gave myself one more chance to Bring back things that I once lek behind Then I will be gone So I play all the games you want me to play And I stay all the tme you make me stay
 I regret all decisions I’ve ever made Looking back to when we used to be okay So here’s my side of the story
 We have had our days of glory
 But the truth is you never really cared I dare myself to leave this city behind This bisersweet feeling burning inside My head is clear, can you hear me? My hands are Oed in lies A shithole, home of the bad mood
 I sit here alone like a cartoon
 Of a promise that never lek the ground
 And now I’ll be gone away, I just couldn’t stay here Any longer with you on my way
 I’m like a dove that would never reach the sky alive Like a dove that would never reach the sky alive

Anesthesia 04:03
ANESTHESIA Break your window, find another door 
Can a single soldier face a war and come back home? Landmines blow up things around your way 
Will you live to see the light of day? 
And when you wake up crucified by your own judgement of faith Can I get a taste?
I need time to waste now A-NES-THESIA 
All feelings paralyzed now A-NES-THESIA
 All pain we sacrifice now Again we roll the dice now Soldier, do you still fell your heart beat?
 Sting it slowly, take away the heat
 And when you get there, just remember not to look down the street Where the angels curse, the demons pray and we still live for A-NES-THESIA 
All feelings paralyzed now A-NES-THESIA 
All pain we sacrifice now Again we roll the dice now A-NES-THESIA
 All feelings paralyzed now A-NES-THESIA
 All pain we sacrifice now Again we roll the dice now How can we roll the dice now?

about

“There’s no such place as home”. The somewhat nihilistic title sets the mood for what’s coming lyric-wise when you first listen to this record. Backdrop Falls’ debut comes with an interesting approach and unloads some anxiety-driven choruses through nine aggressive yet melodic punk rock tunes.
Three years as a band. After about two of them writing, testing new ideas and producing what would later become this record, the band finally releases their long awaited first full-length, featuring an energetic kind of punk rock sound combined with heartfelt reflexive lyrics that persistently question one’s role in modern society.
As a marketing strategy to support the album, there is a simple but smart idea: four new videos (to be released weekly) every month, being one music video, one lyric video, a live version and an acoustic version. This strategy aims to adapt the essence of the band’s characteristic sound (‘90s/’00s punk rock) to the new era of streaming services, in which the audience has become more thorough, selective and likely to change opinions. This way, each track off the record will have four different videos and will get the chance to be promoted individually, drawing attention to the concept of the album as a whole throughout the entire period of promotion of all nine tracks: nine months.
