BEHIND YOUR NEON EYES

MODULUS

BEHIND YOUR NEON EYES

01:\ DESCENT

Hey, welcome to the twilight zone
Simulation overgrown
On a planetary scale

Babe, now it’s time to turn the page
Of the future of an unknown age
And descend into the realm

Motion, oh, the motion
You know it’s all about the motion
With lack of devotion...

Do you really wanna
Dance into my realm

02:\ ROLL OUT

Here I am
Been searching for silence for so long
Under shades my thoughts are clear
But they’re so loud

But here comes the night, tonight
And the wind blows
Gotta go, I’m the key and time is my window

YOU KNOW IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MOTION
WITH LACK OF DEVOTION
SAY YOU KNOW ANOTHER PLACE
SAY YOU ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO REPLACE
THE ACADEMY OF DEPRESSION
OF YOUR OWN REFLECTION
TWIST AND TURN THE INTERFACE
FLEE TO OUTER SPACE
WE BETTER LEAVE NO TRACE
GOTTA ROLL OUT NOW!

There you are
Everlasting chaos, a memoir
Forgotten words with new ones
That I haven’t learned so far

A glimpse of the night, tonight, without worries
Gotta leave, before I consume all my memories

YOU KNOW IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MOTION
WITH LACK OF DEVOTION
SAY YOU KNOW ANOTHER PLACE
SAY YOU ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO REPLACE
THIS EPIDEMIC OF AGRESSION
OF YOUR OWN REFLECTION
TWIST AND TURN THE INTERFACE
FLEE TO OUTER SPACE
WE BETTER LEAVE NO TRACE
GOTTA ROLL OUT NOW!

03:\ DON'T TURN AWAY

You’re touching, engulfing, I see your lips are moving
Words are only scrambled letters but I don’t really care

Like you’re landed on the shore, half-alive but dead for sure
You come with the cold and leave with the first rays of the sun

After all is said done, don’t dream that I’m gone

DONT TURN AWAY, JUST TELL THAT YOU LOVE ME ANOTHER WAY
DONT TURN AWAY, HOLD ME TIGHT IN THE LIGHT OF THE COMING DAY
DONT TURN AWAY, OH, CRACK MY CODE, MAKE ME SWAY
YOUR FLESH WILL BE MY FIX OF DNA

You’re manic, pure magic, all hormones scream in panic
I still have fantasies of choking on your hair

After all is said and done,
You make me wish I have a gun
To hunt the dove of freedom down

DONT TURN AWAY, JUST TELL THAT YOU LOVE ME ANOTHER WAY
DONT TURN AWAY, HOLD ME TIGHT IN THE LIGHT OF THE COMING DAY
DONT TURN AWAY, OH, CRACK MY CODE, MAKE ME SWAY
YOUR FLESH WILL BE MY FIX OF DNA

04:\ [FUTURENATION]

FUTURE NATION ROCK THE HOUSE TONIGHT
FUTURE NATION, DO YOU WANNA ROCK IT DOWN, ROCK NOW!

Stand up, throw down the ugly headphone from your life
A shithole full of smog is the least of your desires
Feels like tomorrow is forged with an axe
This cyber doom you’ll survive if you’re the best

(This is the way) This is our way, one life, one goal
(Kids of today) Conquer and be stronger than all

COME MEET THE NEXT GENERATION: THE FUTURE NATION
DIGITAL ABERRATION: A RADICAL STATION
DIMENSION-CROSSING ADVENTURERS OF THIS AGE
FRUSTRATED, DICTATED, RIDE ON!

FUTURE NATION ROCK THE HOUSE TONIGHT
FUTURE NATION, DO YOU WANNA ROCK IT DOWN, ROCK NOW!

Be aware, rivals always drag you through the mud
Shock therapy for the mind and doping for the blood
In a handmade space suit command your own platoon
Take a stand and fly up to the Moon

(This is the way) This is our way, like one black hole
(Kids of today) Drift in a vortex with no control at all

COME MEET THE NEXT GENERATION: THE FUTURE NATION
DIGITAL ABERRATION: A RADICAL STATION
DIMENSION-CROSSING ADVENTURERS OF THIS AGE
FRUSTRATED, DICTATED, RIDE ON!

05:\ METEORITE

Typical, may the end be near
And you’re still the same
No, you don’t want me to approach
your atmosphere, sorry dear

Forever I would fly with no harm
through outer space
I could stay lost in this moment,
being out of place

Cuz I am now falling, Afraid that I’ll
End it all, afraid to lose it all

I’M A METEORITE
AS I DANCE ACROSS THE SKY
CONQUEROR OF LIGHT
YOU BETTER KEEP AWAY
ACT WITH NO DELAY
THIS CAN ONLY END ONE WAY
NOW RELAY FOR ANOTHER DAY
I’LL HIT YOUR CORE HARD

Babe, The doomsday clock shows
It’s time to meet
I just know that I take way more
Than I can give, and you forgive

You’re my world
Always moving, spinning on the floor
For the term ‘forever gone’
a perfect metaphor

As long as I’m falling For you
I feel earthbound, afraid to hit the ground

I’M A METEORITE
AS I DANCE ACROSS THE SKY
CONQUEROR OF LIGHT
YOU BETTER KEEP AWAY
ACT WITH NO DELAY
THIS CAN ONLY END ONE WAY
NOW RELAY FOR ANOTHER DAY
I’LL HIT YOUR CORE HARD

06:\ FOLLOW YOU

There were times
I wanted to be heard
Not a gradient to be blurred
There are million ways to
Consider, recalculate,
Read before you write

But I guess
It’s not easier to try
Than to call up how to cry
There are million ways to
Be alone when worlds collide
But I still think the world of you

FOREVER,
A STARMAP-CRUISIN
ENDEAVOR
WAITING FOR THE LIGHT
ALL NIGHT
A THING TO KEEP YOU SATISFIED
ON THE PLAYGROUND OF OUR HOPE

Hush
Can you hear the sigh of times?
Woeful deeds left behind
There are million ways of
Repentance or exorcise
A competence to shape
What’s in the rhythm
Of this sluggish tune and rhymes
Pumping like the beat of her heart
There are million ways to
Sing your song
When worlds collide
But like a harmony, I’ll follow you

FOREVER,
A STARMAP-CRUISIN
ENDEAVOR
WAITING FOR THE LIGHT
ALL NIGHT
A THING TO KEEP YOU SATISFIED
ON THE PLAYGROUND OF OUR HOPE

All I know it’s fight or flight
Carry through these times
All the burdens of our hope

07:\ SPACE SAMURAI

From the past
From a tortured kingdom, long ago
Katana ro–bu no
The royal son travels alone

He subdued the shogun of sorrow
But just before the final blow
He sent him here, the world he rules
Our nameless noble savior

Seikou suru koto yori mo
Shippai shinai koto no
Hou ga juuyou da

LOST IN TIME
SAMURAI
HOPELESS RIDER IN DISGUISE
NOW I KNOW
THE PAST IS YOUR TOMORROW
OH, VICTORY BRINGS YOU SORROW

Samurai no mirai
Condemned to walk the future’s plains
Challenge the rusty cogs of time
your efforts are in vain again

Katte kabuto no shii i mero
Anzuru yori u mu ga yasushi

Bushi wa kuwanedo taka yoji

LOST IN TIME
SAMURAI
HOPELESS RIDER IN DISGUISE
NOW I KNOW
THE PAST IS YOUR TOMORROW
OH, VICTORY BRINGS YOU SORROW

Gotta get back,
Back to the past
Samurai man!

08:\ THE LAST STARFIGHTER

Now you know
I have lied every single time

Just to see and take with me
All the tears you cried

And every fight
with every bite
I’m in orbit
all around you

And the speed of light
It can bring me
into your arms tonight

I wonder how I know you
Do I know who am I
Duty calls me to the sky

CAUSE I AM THE LAST
AND THE LAST STARFIGHTER’S
JOURNEY NEVER ENDS

CAUSE I AM THE BEST
JUST A HOTSHOT
HUMANKIND MISAPPREHENDS

MAYBE
I JUST SPEND MY TIME
SMILING AND FLIPPING A DIME
CAUSE I AM THE LAST
AND THE JOURNEY
NEVER ENDS

After all I recall
Every single time

A memory
Of somebody
That I will never be

Every time
With every night
It’s how love meant to be

‘Cuz you’re my queen
So let me be the soldier
of your dreams

I wonder when they phase me
Back to you again
From the far end of this land

CAUSE I AM THE LAST
AND THE LAST STARFIGHTER’S
JOURNEY NEVER ENDS

CAUSE I AM THE BEST
JUST A HOTSHOT
HUMANKIND MISAPPREHENDS

MAYBE
I JUST SPEND MY TIME
SMILING AND FLIPPING A DIME
CAUSE I AM THE LAST
AND THE JOURNEY
NEVER ENDS

09:\ TEKNOSKEPTIC

Hey, don’t wanna know your name
I only need an interface
I’m the hyperlink nobody follows
Your game of lust in cyberspace
No, don’t wanna know your name
Entering to entertain

BEHIND YOUR NEON EYES
THERE IS A PARADISE
MECHANIC OVERPRICE
BENEATH MY EVERY SIN
THERE’S A BROKEN HEART
DESIRES TORN APART
I NEED YOUR LOVE
I NEED YOUR LOVE
WHY I’M SO SKEPTIC (TEKNOSKEPTIC)

Pamper me
Fingers cold and hard
Dot matrix heart,
My digital love
Electric toes
Eternal bliss
Just quit being
so binary with me
Digitally numb

BEHIND YOUR NEON EYES
THERE IS A PARADISE
MECHANIC OVERPRICE
BENEATH MY EVERY SIN
THERE’S A BROKEN HEART
DESIRES TORN APART
I NEED YOUR LOVE
I NEED YOUR LOVE
WHY I’M SO SKEPTIC (TEKNOSKEPTIC)

10:\ BEAM ME UP

Hey, Scotty, won’t you beam me up
I will limber up the rope tonight
Maybe you will never give it up
But I’m fed up with Enterprise fights

I would rather be in Star Wars but in the pub
(just beam me up, beam me up)
The burned-out captain’s going down, you’ll see

MAYBE EVEN CAPTAIN KIRK DOES HATE FLOATING
IN SPACE TONIGHT
MAYBE IF I PASSED MY ROLE TO THE JEAN-LUC DUDE
COULD EASE MY MIND

Hell, come on, just beam me up
I’m ready to brawl with Khan tonight
And this time you better make it right:
My booty showed up front last time
(look at my space balls)

Colonial marines waiting for the shots
Because our fans don’t hate more than half of our movies

MAYBE EVEN CAPTAIN KIRK DOES HATE FLOATING
IN SPACE TONIGHT
MAYBE IF I PASSED MY ROLE TO THE JEAN-LUC DUDE
COULD EASE MY MIND
YOU WON’T LIVE LONG AND PROSPER
WITH LESS BRAIN THAN A TOASTER
MAYBE ON A NEW DAY THROUGH THIS QUEST I’LL LEARN
TO LOVE THESE SCARS AND BURNS

Like a slap on the ears emergency shakes the bridge alive
Another Klingonian fleet, I don’t care, beam me today
Into the pit of snakes!

MAYBE EVEN CAPTAIN KIRK DOES HATE FLOATING
IN SPACE TONIGHT
MAYBE IF I PASSED MY ROLE TO THE JEAN-LUC DUDE
COULD EASE MY MIND
YOU WON’T LIVE LONG AND PROSPER
WITH LESS BRAIN THAN A TOASTER
MAYBE ON A NEW DAY THROUGH THIS QUEST I’LL LEARN
TO LOVE THESE SCARS AND BURNS

MAYBE I DON’T HATE BEING ON ENTERPRISE AT ALL TONIGHT
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN’S BEEN BEFORE
AND DROP ANOTHER PINT

11:\ UNTIL THE STARS TURN COLD

Oh tell me how you feel
Reaching the end
This meaninglesness is real
Like a missing piece
Of a puzzle map
It’s how you’ll pass
As you were born
When the stars turn cold

We brought nothing to this world
And it’s useless to cling onto
the fresh autumn cold
Neither the breeze of dawn
Nor wise last words
All has been told
We’re leaving bare and old
When the stars turn cold

With the candle light
The mourning’s nigh,
but the Flame ignores the blight
And what can we,
Lonely sparks
Do in the dark?
Just drawing flies
Cold pervades the stars

Who are we to save
Smoke and ashes
In an empty grave
With fading shades
Of decades
We’re drown into
Those neon eyes
Cold pervades the stars

UNTIL THE STARS TURN COLD
THE EMPTINESS UNFOLDS
UNTIL THE STARS TURN COLD
WE’RE NOT ALONE IN THE UNKNOWN

Tell me how you feel, it’s the end, it is surreal
Have you found the piece
of your puzzle map?
The missing gap...

Now tell me how you feel
It’s all real, it’s surreal
The final truth is untold
Forever calm, forever one

UNTIL THE STARS TURN COLD
THE EMPTINESS UNFOLDS
UNTIL THE STARS TURN COLD

MODULUS

01:\ SUBJECT ZERO

Get on the beat, move to the battle

02:\ AMBITION

Mirror, mirror, I’m the door, slam me hard and down you fall
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, one shall win and take it all

But why
Did you choose this way?
Or your way chose me
Don't nod your head, just hush
And i'll make you understand
Blank future howls right off your face
Why must you control my life
Or is it my life that'll control your days?

Your words are vermin and
They gnaw away my soul
I know I’ll lose myself
If I lose this war of yours

BREAK THESE CHAINS AND MAKE ME SPEAK MY MIND
HIDE BEHIND YOUR TRUTH UNTIL I'LL UNCOVER MINE
BREAK THESE CHAINS ONLY A SINGLE TEAR
I KEPT IT SAFE FOR THIS MOMENT

But why
Does this hurt so bad?
How come we walk one hundred miles
To see a more receding end?
Lacerate me once again
I beat my head against the wall
Between us
Just to make it higher

In alibis you drown
While I rush with no control
I know I’ll lose myself
If I lose this war of yours

BREAK THESE CHAINS AND MAKE ME SPEAK MY MIND
HIDE BEHIND YOUR TRUTH UNTIL I'LL UNCOVER MINE
BREAK THESE CHAINS ONLY A SINGLE TEAR
I KEPT IT SAFE FOR THIS MOMENT

03:\ NO ONE TO SHOOT

Corruptive and all-seductive minds control the world
Mankind is the only species that pays to live on Earth

Who winds the benefit then?
An exploiter upper system, lives lived through in rage

BLIND ME, HELP ME MAKE ALL THIS DISAPPEAR
ANYHOW, WE’VE NEVER SEEN A WAY OUT OF HERE
THERE’S NO ONE TO SHOOT!

Millions yell and fight wars for strangers’ instructions
Weaving an unfair, repressive social web

Freedom is simulated,
You’ll live and die in their hands poor and insecure

BLIND ME, HELP ME MAKE ALL THIS DISAPPEAR
ANYHOW, WE’VE NEVER SEEN A WAY OUT OF HERE
FIND A GAME TO HUNT IT’LL MAKE THINGS EASIER
BUT NO ONE TO SHOOT, MY OWN HEAD IS THE RIGHT ANSWER

04:\ A WAY OUT

Can you imagine that someone lives behind your eyes
You never knew, you never will ‘cause when you cry he drowns

Through giant leaps you carry an emotional storm,
All the slopes you’ve ever had, the colors shrink as you grow

Hear these words they’ve left behind, gently they whisper in your mind
When you forgot to paint the sun on the sundown of your life
Empty, numb and sad you are on the hilltop of the graves
Of what was life long ago, or what yours will be

DENYING AND ISOLATING, ANGRY BARGAIN, ACCEPTING A WAY OUT
YOUR WAY OUT
NEVERDYING, EVERCRYING, FRAGILE MEMORIES SIGHING THERE’S NO WAY OUT
NO WAY OUT

Can you ever be protective, put aside the pain
To comfort your beloved ones when the colors shrink as they grow?

05:\ A HUNDRED TIMES

Please use no words and leave this mess behind
A tear for every memory and smoke in the scrambling light

RISE, SHOW ME THE STARS, DIVIDE MY HEART, OPEN MY EYES
NOW IT IS HARD TO LET GO, I’VE HAD TO SAY NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED TIMES

I feel the Earth is moving under these cheap old shoes
A lousy grip to cling onto with bare hands to the crust of ground
But there’s no other option to choose

RISE, SHOW ME THE STARS, DIVIDE MY HEART, OPEN MY EYES
NOW IT IS HARD TO LET GO, I’VE HAD TO SAY NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED TIMES

No, I said no! Now, fetch this wound!!!

Drifting along all the places I wanna be
Acid rains on this blood-stained therapy
Reaching for something as fake as eternity
Wasted like you, so leave me be

RISE, SHOW ME THE STARS, DIVIDE MY HEART, OPEN MY EYES
NOW IT IS HARD TO LET GO, I’VE HAD TO SAY NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED TIMES

06:\ FRAKTURED

Work it harder, make it high
Build it faster, scrape the sky
Make it higher, ‘till you die
Build it faster, scrape the sky

A concrete cage we’ve made
(Still) evolving every day
On a rotten foundation

If God designed Man for its own image
What would be the face of our creation?

SO AN UNNAMED GRAVE WE LIE IN
WHILE THIS ARCHITECTURE’S RISING
CONFUSING, PERSUADING
BUT REACHING FOR THE STARS

All we know
We’re the lords of this land
Of the skin on our hands
If this broke their hearts
You will break their arms
To give this work a reason to rest

SO AN UNNAMED GRAVE WE LIE IN
WHILE THIS ARCHITECTURE’S RISING
CONFUSING, PERSUADING
A FAILURE IN THEIR EYES

SO AN UNNAMED GRAVE WE LIE IN
WHILE THIS ARCHITECTURE’S RISING
CONFUSING, PERSUADING
PREDESTINED TO FALL

07:\ HDSN:MIA

For Bill Paxton. The man who fought the predator, the terminator, the aliens and Agent Coulson. Our prayers are with the family of Private Hudson.

08:\ WORMHOLE

All exits are closed for me, the only thing I’ll ever see is
A corridor to the black infinity
A taste of supremacy or the deepest void of sanity
Parasites of this state of liberty

YEAH, I KNOW THIS FEELING, WAITING, CALCULATING EVERY SINGLE INCH TO REACH THIS GOAL
YEAH, YOU WON’T DECEIVE ME, TRY AND DESECRATE ME, PERSUADING WORMHOLE OF MY SOUL

Windows through time and space isolating every way and were
Opened to blow the dust off my mistakes
Swallowing yesterday, I am one with the stars this way
But all exits are closed for me

I am awake but closed are the mind’s eyes… WHY I’m trapped and there’s no chance to comply
FLY Much faster to know where the time flies… IT’S LIKE I’m stuck on a verse with a poor rhyme

YEAH, I KNOW THIS FEELING, WAITING, CALCULATING EVERY SINGLE INCH TO REACH THIS GOAL
YEAH, YOU WON’T DECEIVE ME, TRY AND DESECRATE ME, PERSUADING WORMHOLE OF MY SOUL
PERSUADING WORMHOLE OF MY SOUL

09:\ ENDS OF EARTH

It’s all right, just come closer
And hear my gentle whisper
Let it take you high in the sky

Sing along with the wind
And observe with eyes wide open
How fast all are clouds fly by

And if you live in stories you tell
You’ll never ever fade away
They will be here until all ends of Earth

FOR A NEWCOMER’S FACE
I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL IN VAIN
ALL THE COLORS SHE CONCEALED
ARE TURNING GRAY
IT ALL BREAKS APART NOW
IN A SHALLOW CAUL I HIDE
SUNLIGHT, BURN ME AWAY ON THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY

Just when the past is over
There’s another door that opens
And its tenant awaits you with conceit

A misgiving fortuneteller
She hides the long-awaited answer
Why life tastes so bittersweet

And if you hear those stories she tells
They’ll never ever fade away
Just be their guide again to all ends of Earth

FOR A NEWCOMER’S FACE
I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL IN VAIN
ALL THE COLORS SHE CONCEALED
ARE TURNING GRAY
IT ALL BREAKS APART NOW
IN A SHALLOW CAUL I HIDE
SUNLIGHT, BURN ME AWAY ON THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY

10:\ IN FOCUS

Glass and superstitions all around
Rigid nonsense, it won’t make sense
Let me decide how I play this through one time

Dressed in dead conditions, fame keeps me warm
There’s no reaction without action
Let me design abnegation to defy

Make me believe
That I’m gonna make it,
Hunt the light with me
In my room with no window
Closed in my mind

AN EMPTY SHELL WE ALL BECOME
THROUGH EVERYTHING WE SAID AND DONE
THE HOLLOW STARES OF EVERYONE
SEE MY DESPAIR
AM I FREE? SECRETLY I AM FREE, ETERNALLY!

Glass broken in splinters all around
Of shudder and the colors of my life
Let me decide if I use a fragment now

Please just roll the tape
Don’t stop it now
No matter how you ask, I don’t know why
But I will slit my throat
With the brightest shard I’ve found

Hold on to me
And my intuition
That’s lost and found
And take all the blame
As I walk backwards
Opening my mind

AN EMPTY SHELL WE ALL BECOME
THROUGH EVERYTHING WE SAID AND DONE
THE HOLLOW STARES OF EVERYONE
SEE MY DESPAIR

EMPTY ARE THE EYES OF EVERYONE
AND SO THE SCREEN WILL FADE

11:\ FROM INSIDE

Wake up alone, running
My eyes through the room
I welcome the empty void as my only home
Beneath the tides of my feelings

You start to shout pulling me
Up from the floor
The moment you arrived you have ruined it all

I am falling back and realize
That I don’t see the door anymore

LIE THAT YOU’LL SLEEP THROUGH THIS NIGHT
ALL THE THINGS THAT SEPARATE,
ALL THE THINGS THAT SUFFOCATE
DON’T WATCH ME BREATHE FROM INSIDE
EVEN IF IT MAKES NO SENSE,
DROWN IN FAKE INNOCENCE

You went away buying something
Of our daily needs
The screensaver made an ambush on me
I’ve already seen that movie

Clarity hopes that silence comes
Into this hole
My breath paints oily clouds on the window

And as an urge my conscience arose
To glass he turns all my walls

Just come on and scream!
I’m alive
And will stand tall
‘Till the next part
Will break me apart

LIE THAT YOU’LL SLEEP THROUGH THIS NIGHT
ALL THE THINGS THAT SEPARATE,
ALL THE THINGS THAT SUFFOCATE
DON’T WATCH ME BREATHE FROM INSIDE
EVEN IF IT MAKES NO SENSE,
DROWN IN FAKE INNOCENCE

AND I KNOW YOU’LL ALWAYS LIE TO ME

12:\ CONDITION ZERO

We trust
That we will be the ones to shake some hands
With characters in private message
And everything just seems so perfect
The air is still cold
Out tonight

The absence of light is so right
So white so familiar
It leaves a scar
On the canvas of irrelevant thoughts
(What’s) So blank and torn
Even its fabric makes me cry
We despise the smell we’ll leave behind

BEATING HEARTS ARE REPEATING THE RHYTHM OF OUR LIFE
I WIPE YOUR EYES, THEY CRY, THEY SMILE
LIKE THE BLIND BLUE SKY

I trust
That you will be the one to call my name
The short one what I gave myself in vain
And I know there’s one seat left for me
Only tonight

From clusters they rise
They write with ten fingers
They reach for the light
Waiting, insulting
Since I downloaded the Sun like a leech
Without a blink of an eye
We despise the smell
We’ve left behind

BEATING HEARTS ARE REPEATING THE RHYTHM OF OUR LIFE
I WIPE YOUR EYES, THEY CRY, THEY SMILE
LIKE THE BLIND BLUE SKY, HALF AS CLEAN AS WE ARE

ONCE I BELIEVED IN YOUR EYES
