You take me into hell and then back again

Don’t keep me here, I can’t bear to stay!
Oh I’ll come back again, on another day

SYSTEM OF PLEASURE
(John von Ahlen)
Chant

Verse 1
I’m in a hurry, but I’m waiting for nothing
It doesn’t make sense, my life was meant to be something
Pre Chorus 1
But are you waiting for the morning light?
Do you think it’s better in the afterlife?
Chorus
My Life meant nothing, till I met you
A true believer, misunderstood
Now I share my feelings with the world
Repeat Chant
Verse 2
Could I be wrong, maybe life’s not so amazing?
I should leave the house, but the truth is I’m lazy
Been waiting for days yeah
Pre Chorus 2
Who do you think you’re fooling, you don’t hold the treasure
We’re all trying to find it, a system of pleasure
So don’t be a fool!

Chance upon
A pure delight

When The Future calls you
There’s no need to decide, for...

What I adore
They despise

Like poetry
I reconnect
To you and me

Demanding you do it better

NEMESIS
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
Samurai inside your mind, with visions of another life
If I should fly away tonight, don’t follow me to the morning light
Ancient life on satellite, reflections of a modern life
With this in mind I cast aside, all notions of an alibi
Pre Chorus
Oh my, the Blood is mine, philistine
Oh my, the West is mine, justified
Oh my, the East is mine, satisfied
Oh my, the Beast inside, terrified
Chorus
Caught in a vision of love
Lost in the moment of how should it be
Caught in a vision of love
Lost in the moment of how should it be
Verse 2
What could you do but sympathise
The eye that sees for miles and miles
When power comes it leaves you weak
Till you transform a power freak
Build a life for me and you
Till the Russians come and the Yankees too
The flesh and blood that I provide
Should oscillate and satisfy
Repeat Pre Chorus

Verse 2
At the bus stop, you were there
At the beach, I declare

Then the ocean, changed your world
Got run over, but the sign said
You’ve got to wear gloves
Get out of my head!

On and on we ride, I’ll be your genie tonight
Far into the night, I need some gasoline

See my black dress, you turned it white!

RECKLESS
(Gina G, Johnny X, John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
I wanna ride with the wind in my hair
Not a care if you dare come with me
Hey you thrill seeker, daredevil, earth shaker
Wanna go wild and crazy?
I got a taste for winning in the race
Staring at the face of danger
Don’t be mistaken, I am not your angel
Waiting for a change...
Chorus
Cos I can be reckless
I can be reckless
Verse 2
I’m gonna fly, like a bird in the night
I don’t care if you are there, believe me
Non stop I’m moving, pushing till the last
A spirit so divine, within me
Now is the time for miracles divine
Stranger things are what we live for
Who do you think you’re dealing with my dear
I know what’s on your mind...

ÜBER DING
(John von Ahlen)
Vers 1
Lass mich alleine, mein Haar ist nass
Ich trinke Wein, und ich habe spaß!
Ich kann fliegen so sehr hoch
Schöne Augen wie ein blauer koch Topf
Fang den Hut ist mein Lieblingsspiel
Mein Arsch ist weich wie ein xenophil
Ein Herz aus Stein in der Sommerzeit
Habe ich gesagt, Es tut mir leid?
Chor
Über Ding
Gib dir etwas. Zeit für dich

Gib mir Leben. Zeit für mich

Ich bin ein Mann mit einer grünen Nase
Heißes Wasser gibt mir eine Schmerzblase
Wir machen Urlaub in Blankenese
Mit scharfem Senf und Leberkäse

Ich höre das Signal, das heilige Signal
es ruft nach dir

THE FUTURE
(Jeffo Bang, John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
Staring through windows, crumpled up cellophane
Thunderclap car crash, and it’s starting to rain
Crepsucular skyline, Iridescent horizon
Fluorescence in motion, like a neon lit diamond
Pre Chorus
Tell me do you feel like trying something new?
Rearrange the timeline, only if you don’t mind
Chorus
The future arrived (the future arrived)
Where were you (where were you)
The future is gone (the future is gone)
So what’s new (so what’s new)
If you find something new, don’t deny what you can do
The future’s bright, I can see the whitest light, our destiny
Verse 2
With polarized eyeballs, the palest of celadon
When fractals are decayed, then beauty will be gone
Liquid crystal parallellograms, kaleidoscopic retina
A palimpsest of holograms, exploding into nebula
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
Somebody put naphthalene, into the Ice Machine
Subatomic particles, some were pink and others green
Organic crystallography, disturbing the complexity
Synthetic iconography, a collapsing of integrity
Repeat Chorus
End Chorus
The future arrived (right on time)
Where were you (out of sight)
The future is gone (I don’t mind)
So what’s new (we say goodnight)
If you find, something new
Don’t deny, what you can do
The future’s bright, I can see
The whitest light, our destiny

HURRICANE
(Johnny X, John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
I never imagined that I’d be crying tears for you
Now you’re gone I don’t know what to do, woah
The sun and the rainfall are asking me to choose
But I don’t know, what is there left to lose, woah
Pre Chorus
I feel you like a storm, you’re unpredictable
I feel that hurricane, I feel that hurricane
Chorus
I should have known it from the start
A storm has come to take my heart
The clouds have spoken, like a hurricane I’m broken
Now you’ve left me in the dark, I feel like I could fall apart
A love forsaken, like a hurricane you’re breaking me apart
Coda
Apart, apart, you tear me apart
Apart, apart, you tear me apart
Oh way-o
Like a hurricane you’re breaking me apart
Verse 2
A flood of emotion, though it hurts to see the truth
I need shelter, protection from you
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
I just wanna feel alive again
Tear it all apart and start again
The sun will rise, the rain will fall
It’s what I’ve got to do

NEW LIGHT (ROTERSAND VS TIMO VAN LAAK REWORK EDIT)
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
What happens when I turn the dial
I want to know at any price
A new light dawns
A brand new days begins
There was a time when conscience rang
It used to talk and talk all night
I feel that time has left me long ago
Chorus
One touch and then you’re nothing
Follow me, there you are
One touch and then you’re nothing
Follow me, there you are
Verse 2
I want to create many things
I want to feel what others feel
I want to be a part of something more
But when I mix the chemicals
I maybe get the balance wrong
I feel the darkness crawling from within
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
A new light dawn
A new light dawn
A new light dawn

Parralox Melbourne, Australia
If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more

C'est un album magnifiquement sombre, que ce soit par les textes ou les mélodies. Je suis saisi par ses synthés glaciaux, ses basses graves, ses percussions lourdes et ses textes mystérieux. Monsters est mon titre favori. Un titre lancinant que je trouve fort et envoûtant mais tellement amer. Comme si quelquechose de terrible se tramait...
