It's so hard to talk, to people these days They all look the same, in different ways Just walking alone, while watching a screen No reaction, so what does it mean ? Meet me online Where everything shine Send me a text We'll find out what's next All that we need, a few more contacts Looking for love or chasing more likes It's just a new drug, to scroll endlessly Living online, a reality So where do we go now we know it's real A digital life to keep us on track But pushing ourselves away from the fact That reality is all that we feel Meet me online Where everything shine Send me a text We'll find out what's next Now meet me offline Where everything's real Leave me a sign And say what you feel

Look at this new trend Of filming your life Messaging a friend It's a digital life Just browsing the web For more stuff to find It won't take a minute And it will blow your mind There's only one thing you can do Like and Subscribe All of them want this from you Like and Subscribe The only thing they want to hear Like and Subscribe There's only one way out of here Digital exile The digital world In the palms of our hands Looks like the future Is finally here Seems that all we do now Is to like & subscribe Does it really matter If we ever get lost ? Junkfood for the mind At the expense of our kind Life's just got easier But what is the cost ? Looks like the future Really seem so bleak But we still have some time To make it sublime

Firewall 03:44
I'm downloading from screen to screen Moving fast - to keep them clean I'm on the hunt for Trojan horses Chasing hard - like special forces I'm the update for your firewall Sending data - connecting all I'm shapeshifting from place to place Bending time - curving space I'm uploading security Cyber independance for you and me I'm providing efficiency Saving your files from piracy I'm the update for your firewall Sending data - connecting all I'm shapeshifting from place to place Bending time - curving space

Insecurities 04:14
Wake up Too late Money Can't wait Walk in The rain You'll miss Your train When you're depressed When you can't rest When life's a mess Nothing makes sense My insecurities (tell me what it is) My inadequacies (tell me what it is) All my anxieties (show me where it is) My insecurities oh oh News on TV Makes me Angry Can't sleep Can't talk I feel So locked When you feel sad When you feel bad When things are tough Your mind go rough My insecurities (tell me what it is) My inadequacies (tell me what it is) All my anxieties (show me where it is) My insecurities oh oh

Is it really so strange For me to go this way Seems like I can't change I can't help but stray And then, for a split second I don't know who I am Seems weird I reckon It's just the way I am Feels like a prison sometimes A pool of sentient sentiments A great big house full of doors Where I can't find an exit Looks like it's always the same To see the world in black and white Please just see it's no game When you want to win that fight Moving forward is so tough When the pressure might be on All your feelings are so rough When you know the time has come Talking your way out of here Was the right move all along The objective is now clear You have to find where you belong

When she's alone, she thinks of the future Drinking and smoking to escape reality She thinks that love is overrated And life is lived only for the money Most of the time he just talk to himself He feels isolated when surrounded by friends He walks in a straight line, never looking back Thinking that his problems will solve by themselves Winter, spring or summer They're just weird together He likes to walk She likes to talk He don't do things She pulls his strings Do you think he's just some kind of fool ? Or maybe he likes to play with his tool ? Just look, he can't fool anybody So why do you think he can be so lucky ? During days, she roams around endlessely At night, she's just staring at the sea Wondering where things went wrong Or since when they can't get along Winter, spring or summer They're just weird together He likes to watch She likes to think They'll stop now, just for a cigarette Wondering what will come next They drop their mask, just for a minute Wondering why their love is absolute Winter, spring or summer They're just weird together He likes to walk She likes to talk He needs a shrink She'll take that drink

about

"Wirklichkeit" means "reality" in german.

The music and words of this mini album deals with the reality of our daily struggles with internet and the whole digital era we live in, and more.

It might also be the most honest (as in : myself) piece of work I've ever done.

// PLAY LOUD //
// SOUNDS BETTER WITH HEADPHONES //
