Temnere - In Flames 04:21
lyrics
lyrics: rampaging worlds away, a whisper a glimpse of things to come in time a chance of desolation but as the time passed, growing nearer it wont sink in, we need to hide but theres a trepidation no reason now to stoke their fear we'll wait and see i saw the blight on the horizon but panic festers in the gloom it just seemed right to calm them i undersold, a soothing lie told it caused a vector site to bloom the ones who trust me, condemned and now reality is here oh god what have i done truth of its severity proceeds the lie i sold all the suffering i could have spared multiplied manifold now a harbinger of death i only wanted everyone to be okay now im the one to blame for a world in flames final chorus layered bg vox: i said it'd all be fine i said it'd pass in time i didn't know id have such sway i thought they'd come around thought we'd be safe and sound i didn't know it'd be this way

Jerkatorium - Oh Pandora 03:25
lyrics
So there’s this lovely wedding gift from Zeus And Prometheus (your brother-in-law) says, “Leave it alone.” But being the curious person that you are You sneak a peek inside the jar And accidentally You set all worldly evils free And then after all the plagues have flown Everyone blames you instead of Zeus Thinking that you somehow should have known Knowing you were meant to set them loose Oh Pandora Can’t you see the humor of it all? Oh Pandora, they made you, and then they made you take the fall Oh Pandora Oh Pandora Your story was revamped much later on They added talking snakes in trees (yeah I don’t get that either) The overarching gist is still the same Because the woman gets the blame And we’re ostensibly Still paying off her penalty And after you’re evicted from the garden Some people never see things as they are Such thoughtlessness could cause a heart to harden and make you want to smash Pandora’s jar Oh Pandora Can’t you see the humor of it all? Oh Pandora, they made you, and then they made you take the fall Oh Pandora Oh Pandora And now the Golden Age is done The Silver Age has just begun And now that bell can’t be un-rung I guess that’s just the way it goes Those stories everybody knows The jar is open and the garden closed Oh Pandora Can’t you see the humor of it all? Oh Pandora, they made you, and then they made you take the fall Oh Pandora Oh Pandora

Steve Stearns - Surf Or Die 02:52
lyrics
Sign says "Beach Closed Due To Sharks," but buddy look at those waves Wax up your flipboard, I'll grab my boogie Screw what that sign says, anyways Don't give me aggro, you know me bro I smoke my buds by the pound Here, smoke this pre-roll We'll surf the dawn patrol That way no one else will be around You may think I'm crazy or stupid but I'm really not that kind of guy You only live once ... time to surf or die Next morning the surf is firin' It's gonna be an epic day My bro's in heaven, hanging eleven The beats the square life any day You may think I'm crazy or stupid but I'm really not that kind of guy You only live once ... time to surf or die Breaks were mackin', shark was trackin' I never saw that great white fin Pulled me under, call it a blunder I went down with a simp eatin' grin You may think I'm crazy or stupid but I'm really not that kind of guy You only live once ... time to surf or die Surf or die ... Surf or die ... Surf or die ...

Ross Durand - One Last Drink 03:37
lyrics
When the candle’s burnin down, the wine glasses are low And the waiter comes around to ask if we’re ready to go And she looks me in the eye, I just don’t want this to end So I look at him and I say, “One last drink, my friend” Give me one last drink, give me one for the road We ain’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go One last drink, yeah give me one for the road What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before So now we’re cruising down the highway, she’s got her hand on my knee And I look in the rearview, what’s that I see? Bright red and blue, a cruiser flashing his lights He pulls me over and asks me, sir have you been drinking to night I just had one last drink, yeah I had one for the road Cause we weren’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go One last drink, yeah give me one for the road What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before So he makes me walk a line and try to say backwards ABCs Is it T or R that comes right before Z Before I know it I’m sitting in his back seat And she’s in the rear view yelling and cursing at me I just had one last drink yeah I hadone for the road Cause we weren’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go We had one last drink, yeah one for the road What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before So now I’m in the holding tank some big guy gives me evil eye I ask him what he’s looking at, and immediately ask myself why So he walks across the cell, and picks me up by the hair He’s got mean left and then he kicks me you know where I just had one last drink yeah one for the road Why’d I drive away, I didn’t have nowhere to go I’ll never see her again, it won’t matter even so Because of one last drink, yeah one for the road

Glen Raphael - Hand Washing (SHADOW) 01:45
lyrics
Title: Hand Washing Lyrics: I don’t need to wash my hands I don’t need to wash my hands The water is too wet and I forget I don’t need to wash my hands I intend to touch my face I intend to touch my face Cause faces sometime itch and I won’t switch I intend to touch my face I refuse to hide from crowds I refuse to hide from crowds Crowds form where there’s fun, and I’m not done I refuse to hide from crowds I won’t cover when I cough I won’t cover when I cough Cause coughing wild and free announces me I won’t cover when I cough I don’t need to disinfect I don’t need to disinfect Cause cleanliness is something I reject I don’t need to disinfect I don’t plan to stay at home I don’t plan to stay at home My soul is free wherever I may roam I don’t plan to stay at home Now I’m sad that we’re all sick Now I’m sad that we’re all sick It could be that I’ve been a little thick Now I’m sad that we’re all sick I respect clean lifestyle now I respect clean lifestyle now All earlier advice I disavow I respect clean lifestyle now It’s okay to wash your hands It’s okay to wash your hands Biology and physics understands It’s okay to wash your hands

Jocko Homomorphism - Minnow (2020) - Marketing Pitch (SHADOW) 01:04
lyrics
lyrics Robert Andrews has it made, fresh out of school and already first mate under the mysterious Captain Hale. As the show opens, Robert has convinced his high-school sweetheart Dawn to ride his tour boat before she leaves for the Ivy League. Along for the trip are Silicon Valley entrepreneur James Backer, esteemed author Doctor Russ Johnson, his wife Natalie, and introducing pop sensation Tyna, as herself. When a storm appears on the horizon, Robert intentionally crashes their ship, the SS GILL LAGAN, in order to get intimate with Dawn. When their romantic advances accidentally foil the Captain's SOS, it becomes clear that Robert's last fling with Dawn will be much longer than they bargained for. Can he swim with the sharks? Or his he just a Minnow?

Menage A Tune - BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! (SHADOW) 02:31
lyrics
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Words and music by JoAnn Abbott ST 16 Rd 4 March 15, 2020 Don’t put that grenade into your pocket After pulling the pin as a threat When mugging the kindly local dealer His stash isn’t all you will get Boom! Boom! Boom! I know it made sense at the time But, Boom! Boom! Boom! Stupidity should be a crime One day while out scavenging for metal Three friends found an unexploded bomb They rolled it down the hill- it made a crater Their remains? They could fit within your palm. Boom! Boom! Boom! I know it made sense at the time But, Boom! Boom! Boom! Stupidity should be a crime Bridge We will not heed this Jewish plot! Daylight cannot be saved! They drove to plant the bomb and learned The daylight savings time they spurned Would leave them all much more than burned- The cell phone set for nine Auto set to Israel’s time Boom! Boom! Boom! I know it made sense at the time But, Boom! Boom! Boom! Stupidity should be a crime When driving with friends, all drunk and stupid That hand grenade isn’t your friend When you throw the pin out of the window You’ll all come to a sticky end. Boom! Boom! Boom! I know it made sense at the time But, Boom! Boom! Boom! Stupidity should be a crime

MIcah Sommersmith - Nuclear (SHADOW) 03:41
lyrics
The greatest generation of boys, we’ve come home from the war Silenced the fascist noise on a foreign shore Got that diploma for free, got the girl of my dreams Drive a brand new car down a brand new highway So long, Ma and Pa, I’m gonna do things my way Mr. Levitt, this beautiful house Is just perfect for the Missus and me and three little sprouts Can you build that fence just a little bit taller Don’t want the neighbors to hear when I holler Feels so good to be on our own Feels so good to be all alone When this family goes nuclear You best believe we go all out But when this family goes nuclear We then have to deal with the fallout All the uncles and aunts are now so far away We’ve finally got some peace and quiet Fewer helping hands, but that’s okay If we need any help, we can buy it Ain’t it great to be self-sufficient Relax in the shade while the wife does the dishes When this family goes nuclear You best believe we go all out But when this family goes nuclear We then have to deal with the fallout Someone said that it takes a village But all a child needs is a mother and father And parenting’s all feminine intuition I could probably learn, but I can’t be bothered See I’m the breadwinner, so it’s not a wonder Wait, what do you mean that the firm’s going under? Well a man ain’t a man unless he brings home the bacon You can measure a man by the money he’s making A man leaves his parents to cleave to his wife A man leaves his family to start his own life Now I’m the king of my castle, the head of my home A broken man on a broken throne When this family goes nuclear You best believe we go all out But when this family goes nuclear We then have to deal with the fallout

Governing Dynamics - Sink (SHADOW) 04:52
lyrics
for the love of this ship and these seas all the blessings this crew has received still feel a rope around my neck that tugs me up to the deck to hear a song under silent shining stars turn the bow towards the flickering moonlight your lovely voice has gone and cursed my sight sometimes the water's not enough until it's been touched with some blood it could be perfect and somehow not well enough you don't have to drag these bones along you can leave me, just let me drink just want to hear the end of this song what do you think, should I swim or sink? you erased all the pain I felt before as my home turned to splinters on the shore took me far too long to learn the whole thing's rotten stem to stern I fell fearfully to your embrace you don't have to drag these bones along you can leave me, just let me drink just want to hear the end of this song what do you think, should I swim or sink? I'll never see home again sailors get lost, it's not unique Never meant to put this on my truest friends heart's sprung a leak, I can't swim, I sink As the light dims there's unending rest I press my old dagger up to your chest On this jagged stone bed I sleep if the sleep of the dead And with morning all will turn to mist Now your song has been sung And the tide greets my lungs As the last notes fade away

Cavedwellers - Kissing Contest (SHADOW) 03:28
lyrics
When you’ve had enough of cruise ship food Come on down to the kissing booth We’ve breathed each other’s stale air We’ll do what we dare Don’t miss the kissing contest As we bobble in the Bay Don’t miss the kissing contest No matter what the newsman say We’ve been at sea for sixty days Quarantined, it’s inhumane Claustrophobia extreme It’s a sorry scene But don’t miss the kissing contest As we bobble in the Bay Don’t miss the kissing contest No matter what the newsman say (Beat) Just how bad could it be We’re all doomed eventually Can’t afford life’s rent, you see Let’s kiss torrentially Day sixty-one and I’m still here We disembark, see darker fears Among the healthy and the well We will never tell Them about the kissing contest As we bobbled in the Bay We had no means of egress Vacation wasn’t meant to be that way They missed the kissing contest And I’m not about to give away The reason why we all will call in absent And why we couldn’t wait just one more day
