REFRAIN
(By Mark Muszynski)
Blue lagoons in distant lands
With angry nature calling me
Blue full moons in distant lands
With angry nature calling me
Rap Lyrics
(By Eli D)
INTRO
Spawned in a place where I have no business
Dreaming of a place called home
Picked up the phone
When the motherland calls I can’t hear that tone
But one day I will
Palm trees and lagoons,
Freedom from the rules
In this place, not a space I feel
I wonder
FIRST VERSE
In this concrete city
Full of lows and pities, I dream of a home of gold,
Not gritty
Clear blue skies not abundant cloud
Million me’s with the prettiest smiles
Tears of joy, and the cries are proud
Heritage, parentage, down to the soil
Fresh ripe fruits, not a meal from foil
Green white green, not a union jack on the flag
Long haul flight might get jet lagged
But it’s worth it
To visit a place that’s perfect
A place where a face might look like mine
A place, yeah a place where the sun must shine
A place, year a space where my fate resides
A place, yeah a base for a brand new life
CHORUS 1
What do I want (what do I want)
What do I need (What do I need)
A whole new place (a whole new place?)
Will I succeed (will I, or will I?)
What do I want (what do I want)
What do I need (What do I need)
A whole new place (a whole new place?)
No longer a dream (no longer a—)
DROP
Am I running to, or am I running from (Blue Lagoons)
X4
BREAK
(Spoken by Carl Jung)
That is not to be forgotten, fantasy is not nothing! It is, of course, not a tangible object, but it is a fact nonetheless. Observe the stream of images within, you observe an aspect of the world.
VERSE 2
Passport ready, ticket in hand
So why do I feel like sand
Hourglass turning, it’s urgent, gotta go gotta go
Time ticks by the hand
But what am I leaving
All the memories, friends I made
All the days on the bus with my mates
Is this what I really need to escape?
Family here, all the ties we made
Every birthday
Every birthday
Every birthday
Am I truly, truly afraid?
Is this place I dream of truly a dream or a nightmare
Who cares, gotta find out and see
Bags all packed to embark, not flee
Gotta find what I seek
A whole new life, and now repeat
CHORUS 2
I know what I want (I know what I want)
But not what I need (but not what I need)
A whole new place (a whole new place?)
No longer a dream (no longer a dream)
X2
DROP
Am I running to, or am I running from (Blue Lagoons)
X4
BREAK
(Spoken by Carl Jung)
The man who is going by the external world; society, or perceptions […] thinks he is more valid, and the man who goes by the subjective factor is not valid. No! That man is just as well based.
OUTRO
I know where I came from
But I don’t know where I’m going
Steep or slow like where the wind blows, the rain don’t know it
Still gotta keep it going
Still gotta keep it pushing
Passports and papers in hand
Still en route to a distant,
Still en route to a distant land
OUTRO
(By Mark Muszynski)
I first met you on the airplane
Entangled dreams of distant lands

VERSE
So I see you sitting in your booth waiting for me, patiently
Somehow feel your ego staring through my victories, it’s policy
BACKGROUND
See me now, see me now, look up now
See me now, see me now, look at me now
See me now, I got new powers, I’m back now
See me now, I’m making bands, I’m back now
CHORUS
My book filled with red flags, don’t ask, it won’t last
I just wanna fly high, but you won’t let me reach the sky
Standing here with my bags, face mask, rubber bands
I just wanna say goodbye, but you won’t let me pass by high (ooh)
So I

BARK X2
Run at me, catching me, gonna be, makin’ me

You know me, VIP, see ID? Nah no need
VERSE 2
Wonderin’ who we are?
Take a seat, cause there’s no chundering at the seminar
My memoir, so bizarre, hottest crew out right now
Running these streets with our fleet of TC aircraft
Catching flights, picking fights with the next guy
Feeling real fly with the ice in my bloodline
When you’re up this high, find it hard relax
Only been two days but I just bought a new pack
CHORUS
My book filled with red flags, don’t ask, it won’t last
I just wanna fly high, but you won’t let me reach the sky
Standing here with my bags, face mask, rubber bands
I just wanna say goodbye, but you won’t let me pass by high (ooh)
So I

Passengers of TC Aircraft flight number 2703 to Distant Lands are requested to head to gate number 13. Thank you
OUTRO
I first met you on the airplane
Entangled dreams of distant lands
Stuck in a rut, in a concrete carcass
Straight from the gut, we jumped into darkness
For the promise of a new beginning
Your voice, I remember your voice

GATE ft. Lipmann
03:07
|

In Romanian:
Am ajuns la poarta
Cu ai mei, deja asteapta
Sa ajung acasa
Dar abia am plecat
X2
Oare ce se mai intampla cand sunt plecat?
A plecat femeia ultima data cand am plecat
Dupa a murit ala tot ultima data cand am plecat
E a doua oara cand se intampla asa ceva
De asta nu imi mai pasa, nu imi mai pasa
Nu e prima oara!
Dar nu mai imi pasa, nu-mi mai pasa
(Nu e prima oara)
X2
Totusi unii inca ma asteapta
De cand am plecat
Altii au uitat
De cand s-au schimbat
Dar oricum nu eram la fel
Oare ce se mai intampla cand sunt plecat?
A plecat femeia ultima data cand am plecat
Dupa a murit ala tot ultima data cand am plecat
E a doua oara cand se intampla asa ceva
De asta nu imi mai pasa, nu imi mai pasa
In English:
I'm at the gate now
With siblings, they're already waiting
For me to get home
But I just left
X2
What else happens when I'm gone?
My woman left the last time I left
Then he died also the last time I left
This is the second time this has happened
That's why I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore
It's not the first time!
But I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore
(Not the first time)
X2
However, some are still waiting for me
Ever since I left
Others forgot
Since they changed
But we weren't the same anyway
What else happens when I'm gone?
My woman left the last time I left
Then he died also the last time I left
This is the second time this has happened
That's why I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore
VOCALOID Lyrics

All my friends run on (oh oh oh)
Seeing them takes so long now (oh oh oh)

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking, welcome aboard TC flight 2703 service to Distant Lands. We are going over the big ocean, there are a few bumps associated with that, but hopefully we’ll have a smooth ride. Should be partly cloudy and then clear blue skies. So enjoy the flight, please help yourself to the array of food and drinks that we will be serving, and thank you for flying with us!
Immigrant Prayer
By Luke Carey Chorlton
We grieve under the shadow of a storm
We leave under the shadow of the past,
God, so that we might find hope in you
Oh! These skies are no reservoirs
They spurn us with volcanic residue
Yet let us be fresh buds rooted out of foul soil,
Let us be dancing stars born out of this ill confusion,
That we may find home under any constellation
Unto hate and pain, let us be a foil
This plane a vessel for those whose skin… tongue… soul… was made taboo
We will not fear the storm, the unknown,
For it is us who were made unknown
And now we erupt in symphony
We pray, we pray, and we pray,
Amen
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. As you can probably tell we’re having a little bit of turbulence. I know it’s uncomfortable but just please bear with us. We have just been updated that there are unforeseen rough weather reports ahead of us… Anyway won’t be lasting too long so we ask that you please stay within your seats until the seatbelt sign is turned off. Thank you.

Notebook Of A Return To A Native Land
By Aimé Césaire
(In English)
Rally to my side my dances
You bad ****** dances
The carman-cracker dance
The prison-break dance
The it-is-beautiful-good-and-legitimate-to-be-a-******-dance
Rally to my side my dances
And let the sun bounce on the racket of my hands
But no, the unequal sun
Is not enough for me
Coil, wind, around my new growth
Light on my cadenced fingers
To you I surrender my conscience and its fleshy rhythm
To you I surrender the fire in which my weakness smolders
To you I surrender the chain gang
To you the swamps
To you the non tourist of the triangular circuit
Devour wind
To you
I surrender my abrupt words…
REFRAIN
By Mark Muszynski
(In German, Polish, and English)
Berliner Maschine, atmet rein die Toxine
Neuer Immigrant, geh sofort zum Arbeitsamt
Ty jesteś Polakiem, czyli jesteś biedakiem
Not Anglo and white, prepare to fight-or-flight
In English:
Berlin machine, breathe in the toxins
New immigrant, go to the employment exchange right away
You’re a Pole, so you’re a poor person
Not Anglo and white, prepare to fight-or-flight
SPOKEN WORD
By Mark Muszynski
You ever wondered
What the fuck you’re actually doing?
You’re breathing in the air
Choking
Under the presumption that’s life
Life is suffering they say
Life is ups and downs they say
What if yours is one big down?
Maybe everyone’s riding one big fucking down wave
They said Berlin would give salvation
Look what it did to you
You’re destroying yourself
You no longer believe
In the frantic lies of the free world
You no longer believe
In the propaganda propagated by the same people who created all the fucking destruction of culture, blood, people like you
Your life is meaningless because they designed it that way
One more cog in the machine
You’re nothing to them
Nothing!
They fucking destroyed a child’s soul
Turned him into a soldier
Competing to satisfy the superior blood
Of his captives
I fucking hate you
I fucking hate all of you
I fucking hate you
You made me fucking hate myself
It’s all my fucking fault
Should’ve complied
Should’ve been born to a different mother
In a different country
In a different time
I fucked up
I fucked up
I don’t deserve my skin
I don’t deserve my name
I don’t deserve a single breath I steal from you
I fucking hate myself
Congratulations!
You’ve done it
You’ve bloody done it
You’ve bloody done it
You’re him! You’re flying!
You’re god!
I can’t believe this I can’t believe my luck!
I’m with god!
I’m god!
I’ll construct my own propaganda!
You won’t know what’s real in my world
No sir!
You’ll be the bottom class rat
Feeding on the remains like a dog
I’ll make a religion and you’ll be the pagan
I’ll make a state and you’ll be exiled
I’m god
I’m everything
You’re nothing
I control you
You belong to me
Oh this isn’t real?
You’ll be punished severely for that
Fifty strokes for offending the architect
I’m the architect!
You’re a common filth worker of the machine!
A cog in the never-ending machine!
Let the rain pour down and destroy what you call reality!
I own you now!
I own your thoughts!
Oh shit
Interview
Spoken By Aimé Césaire

It’s fundamental, we must remember. This does not mean we are resentful people but we must remember.

CALM
04:07
|

I first met you on the airplane
Entangled dreams of distant lands.
Stuck in a rut, in a concrete carcass.
Straight from the gut, we jumped into darkness.
For the promise of a new beginning.
Your voice, I remember your voice.
Told me to brace for broken dreams, lands full of lies.
Can of sardines, doomed to die.
Now, the light glimmers, scorching heat.
We made it — home, journey’s complete.
Are you alive, my Love; from next seat?
Did you survive, above, at 30,000 feet?

VERSE
Sitting in a dark room
Gonna fight these dark times
I need to survive
Cuz this is my life, yeah
I want you tomorrow
To see all your sorrows
Flow away,
Flow away
I just want to hold you close
Together we can learn the ropes
I just wanna feel the sun again
We don’t the world to be
More than we could ever need
I just wanna have some fun again
BUILDUP
Baby, please don’t, please don’t doubt
Baby, please don’t, please don’t doubt
Baby, we’re gonna, we’re gonna ugh
Baby we’re gonna make it out
BRIDGE
Maybe you’ve got a hand to lend
I just wanna see you again
looks like somehow we’ve arrived
Now all that’s left is to survive (loud)
BUILDUP
Baby, please don’t, please don’t doubt
Baby, please don’t, please don’t doubt
Baby, we’re gonna, we’re gonna ugh
Baby we’re gonna make it out
LAST DROP
We’re gonna make it out

Dobranoc
In English:
Sleep well

Sleep Poem
By Mark Muszynski
Sleep
You craved sleep
It waited for you patiently, capably escaping dreams
Spider webs went overseas, now you’ve caught it with one sweep
Like a fish it wriggles and twists, til you persist: “We can coexist”
Sleep wants to go home, just like you. For home is long overdue
Home is a misused word. It confuses both of you
But now a light burns in the nerves of your home
Lighting the window, it yearns to not be alone
Will it go out?
