Urban delusion

from Persona by The Surs

/

lyrics

Holding on to hopes in this place of comfort
Where we are dressed and the rules are shown
It feels so empty, filled with strange figures
Running around but they are all long gone

In evolution it floats weightlessly and decayed
An assassination attempt of this self-destructive state
The weather, the storm, the blizzard, the scorn
Coming down on me in the strangest form

So I´m gonna travel to the other side
So many people around, I got nowhere to hide

Picture perfect in this motion madness
Lunatic awareness in the same old street
Consciousness is painful, love out of fear
Death is where the rain hits the concrete

These new industrial places are passing by
I’ve heard them screaming out with nothing to say
We buy what we are and we´re stuck in device
Following each other day after day

We need a better version, another take
Tapes are rolling; I can stand no more fake
I am so disgusted, I never feel at ease
Like I´m waiting for the day I can no longer breathe

So I´m gonna travel to the other side
So many people around, I got nowhere to hide
Leaving this all to make it on my own
Letting go, getting out

The rules are different there, no one to fall back on
No way to fake it, nobody to con
Just me and the world, ain´t that a high
Being my own man alone under the sky

Progress is simplicity
Let’s simply not progress
Do you have enough happiness?
And is happiness enough?

But I´m still in my culture head
In my sick morality mother head
I have supervisions of alienation
Creation of imagination
Try to go in sane mind, and never stop
Try to go in sane mind, and never stop

Letting go, getting out
This urban delusion I drag along

about

The Surs 'S Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

The Surs uit Den Bosch brengt de expressie van haar songteksten vol overgave: gecontroleerde chaos, verstilde momenten en psychedelische uitspattingen als gevolg. Dynamische, licht ontvlambare muziek met een scherp randje, die je telkens vast grijpt. In februari 2011 is debuutalbum 'Persona' uitgekomen. "Veel grotere talenten ben ik de laatste jaren in Nederland niet tegengekomen" - OOR ... more
