This unconditional love So demanding, so tolerant I am beyond sedated Like a dried butterfly That turns to powder at the touch You’re safest when you don’t say much My urge wonders about Like shades in a room And explosive made of ice So tired and stimulant This unconditional love So demanding, so tolerant I am beyond sedated This unconditional love So demanding, so tolerant I am beyond sedated (Stimulant) Like a dried butterfly That turns to powder at the touch You’re safest when you don’t say much My urge wonders about Like shades in a room And explosive made of ice So tired and stimulant

Woe 03:54
lyrics

As I fall asleep Watching ActionKid Strolling the streets A modern life dream Post-Soviet scene Breaks me to bits Still we feel the shame Own it all I lose my faith in playing Now and then ‘Cause Woe is this? Woe is this Woe is my kingdom Failing to new land Winning to this Dream of the day It’s the greatest dream Never ends and fades away Woe is this? Woe is this Woe is my kingdom Woe is this? Woe is this

Young Turks 04:34

Oh Understood, understood Here we go again The history repeats itself Time to understand Now or never Come closer tonight Don’t be unkind ‘Cause it gets bitter In the end All the young Turks They’re sorry for the news No need to argue All them precious words Make no sense at all Search for the truth Young Turks are sad and lonely Young Turks feel hopeless Can’t help, it feels so empty Young Turks are restless Then to binge on pain Still waving with a pride To an old parade Which had long since passed us by All the young Turks They’re sorry for the news It’s time to argue All them precious words Make no sense at all Search for the truth Young Turks are sad and lonely Young Turks feel hopeless Can’t help, it feels so empty Young Turks are restless

Big switch Bad switch Fire after fire Smoke after smoke Mistake after mistake Scraping, inhaling The asphalt, the zone Morning after morning The rust in my rose Reaching for the bad switch Make believe Make believe Make believe The dust in my nose Make believe Scraping, inhaling Turning the big switch Turning the bad switch Turning the big switch Turning the bad switch The hands, the eyes, the bone Defile, the ground, lie down Pain after pain, that’s denial The hands, the eyes, the bone Defile, the ground, lie down I’m turning it now The big switch Big switch

Ah, Delfinia (Space-time dream) Ah, Delfinia (Space-time dream) Thank you for choosing Delfinia We promise you a great experience In an atmosphere of timeless elegance Comfortable and stylish rooms And an unmatched sea view Delfinia offers a wide selection of facilities Which are detailed in the booklet Placed on the writing-table in your room Should you require any assistance Or have any specific requirements Please do not hesitate to contact our duty managers At their desk in the lobby Wish you a pleasant staying Thank you Ah, Delfinia Space-time dream Ah, Delfinia Space-time dream Space-time dream Space-time dream Found myself sitting next to Groucho Marx I think I dreamed a little while The lady at the bar nodded And smiled a crooked smile Said it’s so close, but no cigar Ah, Delfinia Space-time dream Ah, Delfinia Space-time dream Ah, Delfinia Space-time dream Oh no I can’t blame you Space-time dream

That Night 02:27
lyrics

Who knew? The universe kept expanding Inside that tiny room The most beautiful room I called home Always had one too many Chasing white rabbits And poking dimples In gold nettings for sure And regal eighteen Late night snacking The choking smoke Adoring the works of art Aspired to leave our traces Friends, neighbors, lovers Late night deliveries The usual Forgotten The most loved Taken for granted The shallow vortex The soul The texture Never washed in day light And the music Soundtracks of our lives Oh It was a Tuesday That night

about

It is a given that any independent work is mostly personal. This confirms “Woe” even more as the darkest and most personal effort to date from Dahakara. It is a relatively quiet and short album, which sums up what I (and we) have been through since the last release.

7 songs anchored in longing, desperation, rebellion, and hope. Bare, raw, atypical. We have all witnessed the change and transformation of most of what we knew. I hope you will find your moments in these stories.

Tabii ki her bağımsız iş büyük ölçüde kişiseldir. Yine de bu yeni albüm “Woe”yu, Dahakara’nın en karanlık ve en kişisel gayreti diye tanımlamak en doğrusu. Son zamanlarda çoğu şeyin değişimine, dönüşümüne tanıklık ettik. Bu nispeten sessiz ve kısa albüm, o süreci ve önceki albümden bu yana geçen zamanları özetliyor benim için.

Özlemi, başkaldırıyı, umutsuzluğu ve umudu eksen edinmiş 7 şarkı. Ciladan, standarttan uzak. Umarım siz de kendi hikayelerinize dokunan anlar bulabilirsiniz içinde.
