we think we will live free running naked up & down the streets bodies getting pleasure from the lack of bounds bodies blowing up, bodies stuck underground we think planting a tree will make up for the crimes of humanity forests being loved for the air we breathe forests burning down, forests out of our reach we're better off locked inside a dark room we've had enough life's tide is gonna end soon we're better now trapped inside our own minds we write our vow life's time will be left behind I think I'll find paradise on the arms of a pretty lover in disguise future looking bright in my wildest dreams future on a slackline, future busting the seams I think I will prevail if I keep all my ideas on the rails art is the best way to make a living art is a tormentor, art is unforgiving I'm better off locked inside a dark room I've had enough life's tide is gonna end soon I'm better now trapped inside my own mind I read my vow life's time will be left behind you think you will find love on the lost & found section of the club hearts being stomped by the kick drum sound hearts so confused, hearts are spinning around you think you'll conquer life on a subject matter, on the tip of a knife brains being crushed by mass media opinion brains bleeding poison, brains gonna oblivion you're better off locked inside a dark room you've had enough life's tide is gonna end soon you're better now trapped inside your own mind whisper your vow go into hide there's nothing to leave behind

oh, I wish I had a boyfriend I wish I had a loving man in my life I wish I had a father maybe then I would've turned out right but now I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad yeah, I'm just crazy, been fucked in the head but maybe if I really try with all of my heart then I could make a brand new start in love with you oh, I wish I had a suntan I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine I wish I had a beach house then we could make a big fire every night instead I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad yeah, I'm just crazy, been fucked in the head and maybe if I really try with all of my heart then I could make a brand new start in love with you c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, hey now

about

Cairo Braga’s new single ‘Thanatos’ is the first chapter of his first album cycle (prefaced by his previous single ‘Nature Boy’).
the song is a personal reflection upon the death drive and how to live with it, or not live at all. it’s backed with a cover of Girls’s ‘Lust For Life’ as an attempt to bring a less fateful perspective to an ill-fated narrative. but does it really succeed in that intention?

this release is part of Netlabel Day 2015, the worldwide independent free music event on July 14th. know more at netlabelday.blogspot.com
