When the sun goes down, I turn it on
The antidote, my fears are asleep my consciousness afloat
Won’t you lift me up and take us on a journey to know
The lush reflections reaping what you sow
I am creative and I need a jolt from my purple drawer
Sometimes it’s the moon but on occasion floor
When it hits, I shed the layers I wear
I am left bare to my bones but I don’t care
Twenty times out there
Should I be worried?
Then tell me how I fare
Am I so desperate to hold
Me back myself
Have my intentions been
To avoid the edge or I’m
Splitting at seams, craving blue dreams
Waiting to reach
Cruising the thread, got a skin to shed
I’m letting you know
A balancing act, a nihilistic bow
Cruising the thread, got a flight ahead
I’m letting you know
I’m starting to think that I’ll just let it flow

Heard you say “hello” a millionth time
Face like litmus paper, mirroring mine
Across the kitchen table lies the truth
I’m all alone with you
Sometimes I want to burst in flames and show
Just how you’re wrong
But yet you hover round my mind
And whisper late at night
Through all this time you showed me why
There’s nothing concealed, nothing to defy
Won't let it set this forward
Won’t you break down this door
I’ve seen the rights and the vices
you’re holding inside
I’ll move them back to our place
And act like everything's fine
We are congenial in minds
yet immense in our fears
We’re going past our mistakes
Until this force reappears
No gods, no warning signs, nobody
Stumbles along
I’ll hold to your shoulders
With the same old
Song to warm you back
I’ll hold on and crack
Won’t save us
No saviours now
You are the only one I know
I don't think you’ll go

Less than a moment
The narrative completes
Last equaliser of the poor and the elites
When I drove through dreary desert roads
The whole world decided to explode
As far as eye can see
Defeat, deceit and lunacy
Wherever I go, whatever may be
A week may be all I’ve got
Waiting to be drowned, or burnt or shot
Let us be the people time forgot
Let us rot
Doubts and worries from our youth
Were nothing more than
Truth that realised before
Anyone could move
Dying beside all you fools
Ashes are covering the sky
The cities fall
Nothing to bargain with
We all comply
No more time to make this right
No means, no reason to fight
The old is not to stay
Another time, another day
No more time to make this right
No means, no will, no reason to fight
The old is not to stay
Another time, another day

Twenty Out of Ten

My nothing in particular, my nothing but erratic
with a tendency to disappear and a bit overdramatic
Neon signs and ceaseless sounds composed her graceful fever
A clandestine marauder with a face that made me shiver
Her mind began to shatter, she left, she did not try
Three white crosses, two white flags and a one white lie
Needlessly exaggerated promises were violated
and undoubtedly she'll end up with another flaw
Life behind those wistful eyes
The frail strike again
The coy become the wicked
The twenty out of ten
The beauty in complexity
Always gets the better of me
Can’t look back but
I will not participate
In what’s got me to this state
In what’s remaining of her fate
Life behind those wistful eyes
The frail strike again
The coy become the wicked
The twenty out of ten
Life behind those wistful eyes
My life forever more
My nothing in particular
Is nothing like before

I am feeling discontent
Little check before I go to bed
What a shame
There’s nothing new since I’ve been there
15 minutes ago, oh well
I’ve learnt today how to escape from a moving car
Like a superstar,
Watched a show about a war but it's way too far for me to cry, let's watch some cats
We’re window shoppers, swinging choppers
God forbid we become bored
My FOMO squats down like a Slavic chap
Lurking if I fell to this trap
Scrollum Infinitum, casting spells on the momentum
Deadlines don't survive a day
For the necessity, VR humanity
Helps me not feel like a boomer though I’m only twenty-nine
Is that fine? Lacking spine to say out loud
I’m addicted to being connected
Though at some point expected to become bored
I’m staring harder than I should
There’s no sympathy out there
I rush myself to recognise if I could
Find enough to care?
I’m staring harder than I should
There’s no sympathy out there
I rush myself to recognise if I could
Find enough to care about
How it’s going to end
Don’t you feel the same, I want you
To carelessly come swallow all your pride
Look how time has flied
Unrestored
Tonight I’m cuddled by the blue light
Sponsored by the billionaires’ design
To spend all our time
Getting bored
(Oh, how I love to stay in touch
Even if it is too much
Reality ignored
Cause I’m fucking bored)

Ceaseless thoughts flowing
One more, maybe I should have told her, maybe not
I don’t know, what the fuck
Can I sleep? I forgot, can the plot
Get smoother?
Tell me what you know
What was that? I’m alone
Everything has gone so wrong
Is it over?
No no no no no
Friends and foes all around
What are you on about?
Still can’t tell
A song I know so well
Yesterday's memories
A future I will gladly miss
Good to know it could exist
Now it fades away
Stay obey me
Now for a change of pace
I can’t feel my face
They saw me
They won’t let me fuckin’ sleep
You vultures
I will hunt you one by one
Dead soldiers
So gorgeous
Why do my teeth grind?
Is it to remind
Me of your blind
Luck to find me at the
Darkest of ends?
Now don’t pretend it works
Shame lurks
Opening my
Eyes so wide
They told me to lie
Go away, the pain
In a week I’ll go again

There’s a belief I should undermine
Try to understand the world is not fine
Gasping for breath is little too late
To fly with your planes to start a debate
Air did not fuck it up itself now
Using all your wealth
Can’t cause the currents to flow now
Air did not fuck it up itself now
Using all your wealth
Can’t really fix it you know
whatever you do, wherever you go
Watch as the waves now come crashing down
Avoid getting wet but eventually drown
How good it felt to flourish through all
the years of neglect couple more to go
Air did not fuck it up itself now
Using all your wealth
Can’t cause the currents to flow now
Air did not fuck it up itself now
Using all your wealth
Can’t really fix it you know
Now do your best to be afraid
Of the way
life will end
It’s not that hard to comprehend
They’re not on our side
Foresight in mankind
You won’t find it there
What makes you think I care
About people on people stuck in undertow they don’t know
They’ll never make it back onto the shore
Don’t hold on to me
My careless apathy
You don’t have time
Shelter your worries
Read all of the stories of
Fools on parade
shown higher and higher

We are down on weed, are down on our savings
Nothing’s cheap, third day no sleep
Were handed down shit, making minimum wages
Take a hit, noone works legit
I love despite, can’t sleep at night
I’m not alright, a parasite
I’m happy to, hold all of you
Accountable
Wealthy abominations
It’s us that you can’t buy
You know we were
Final three generations
That let you break us down
You thugs but we will
Crown your head with waste bags
And burn them down
Don’t worry a thing, I’m not gonna swing
any rocks at you, you fucking pig
When money is king, artist are homeless
Gathering next peoples spring
I’m full of hate, can’t deviate
Not doing great, degenerate
I’m happy to, hold all of you
accountable
Wealthy abominations
It’s us that you can’t buy
You know we were
Final three generations
That let you break us down
You thugs but we will
Crown your head with waste bags
And burn them down
Fight you with your own inventions
And take control tonight
Time after time
youth will revolt
Ruthless world out there
Where does the change begin
Compassion and discipline
Helplessly aware
Of workers that willingly
Applaud the plutocracy
We will teach you to share
Oppression cannot prevail
Debated to no avail
You will fail

Escapism

I can’t really move or speak
Debates slowly fade into monologues,
Pretending we’re fictional
and not that emotional
My worries and fears
concealed away
Someone who knew
wouldn’t dare to stay
Why are we all so intrigued
Deprived of our privacy
Bunch of lunatics on ecstasy
All as shallow as our bruises
Terrified constantly
Nothing left to do but flee
Calm me down, take me home
Disassociate me until dawn
Calm me down, I will take everything
that you have for me
I won’t be of help, I won’t make a scene
Days are all blurry and nights are chaotic
I’m anxious and tired and highly neurotic
Darkness, it shivers as I go to bed
Not much seems to work inside my fucking head
I don’t think it helps to get high every day
With the work and the songs and accounts to repay
My schedule neglected and health left behind
All things all at once every question combined
Don’t get me wrong with the persistent whining
I’m still going strong and I’m always refining
But three decades passed all spend thoughtlessly
How I wish that the world would stop screaming at me
Calm me down, take me home
Disassociate me until dawn,
Calm me down, I will take everything
that you have for me
I won’t be of help, I won’t make a scene
So you tell me to have kids?
How the fuck can I have kids
when the fascists roam the streets
and the maniacs on their thrones want to drop atomic bombs?
The world belongs to the beautiful
To the mindless and the unmerciful
No mistake is ever forgotten
no flaw is omitted and defeat is not permitted
The pressure from family, from work and from friends
Each new week starts before previous one ends
I’m not built to be spinning at this monstrous speed
How I wish that the world would stop screaming at me

The Great White Lights Wrocław, Poland
Born and bred in Wroclaw, PL, The Great White Lights are a group of friends in love with guitar-driven music. Their
different background result in a very specific blend of different genres – from stoner anthems to prog headbangers with a touch of more synth-driven songs (and a little flirt with metal aesthetics).
Listen with headphones on, enjoy the journey!
