Cast the First Stone
01:40
|

|
Cast your fucking stones
In someone's face and start slandering their name
You wanted to believe
You're better than the rest
Throwing dirt around
You leap far too far ahead
Nobody is perfect
We won't play your games
Trying to be a better person
I did for myself only
Fuck your competitions
Your stupid childish shit
No we won't, stand for it
It means nothing
When you're judging me
Knowing that you're far from living perfectly
Nothing
When you're judging me
Knowing that you're far from living perfectly
No nothing
When you're judging me
Knowing that you're far from living perfectly
Nothing
When you're judging me
Knowing that you're far from living perfectly

What I Recall
01:57
|
|||
|
I buried this so deep
That I forgot that it was there
This fucking thing kept me stagnant
And would leech of my despair
Well they say that someone's eyes
Are the window their soul
And it makes me wonder
If you look at me will you see anything, anything at all?
What I recall
Is nothing but a dream
My youth has expired
And I miss my sanity
I must put this onto paper
With words what I can't seem to place
I write it down to paint a picture of
My blackest days
For ten years straight
I couldn't point it out
But it kept eating on the inside
Can't explain, can't give a reason
That it broke my heart so many times
And I don't believe that it makes me weak to admit that I'm a human being
So dig it up, I can't deny
The sting of life that poisons me
That poisons me
I'm not ashamed
This is what it is
I'd rather tell the truth
Than have you make up shit
I'll carry this with me
Like a brick that is tied to my feet
And that will never
Be cut loose
And though I'm carried by a slower stream
I now believe that life just has its ways
And I will end up, where I need to be
Where I need to be

I know it's hard
It's hard to stand by your friends
But you dropped me in a split second
Called me a coward, for running away
Give me a reason to stay when you show me such hate
The spit in my face
Bad thoughts I would think
The pushing me to the fucking brink
You just fell by the wayside of my life
In the blink of an eye, ‘cause I'm the one who decides
You have no right to define
My state of mind or what I stand for
Talking me down, as far as you can
I'm not allowing you, anymore
Made me feel the lowest, I ever felt
But I know I was the one allowing you
Let it drag on for years on end
I left it behind
I'm finally through with you
The thing that saved me left me to die
In a split second time after time
I’m not afraid of letting go of the faith that I placed in this
Because of you
Whatever it meant to be a true friend
Time after time you play pretend
Play pretend
I Know I'll
Never be
Anything
Like you
You have no right to define
My state of mind or what I stand for
Talking me down, as far as you can
I'm not allowing you, anymore
I'm done with the ways I used to think about myself
Because of you
The mark you left me made me know who I am
I'm moving ahead
It finally ends
This second

Royal Blue
02:05
|

|
Staring into royal blue
All the other colours start to fade away
Like there's some thinner on the canvas
The words got twisted on my tongue
There was nothing left to say
The colour of your eyes
Was all that's on my mind
And how they took all of my words away
But that same colour won't define the way that I feel in this life
No longer
I left you with your friends that night and we grew this distance with the highway lights
And I know that I should not be looking back
Leave the past the past my friend
Don't dig up things you've laid to rest
Accept the fact that some things end
Because sometimes that's just
How it´s meant
Now there's nothing left between us but dead silence
The way life unfolds
I know it can seem strange
When the ones you held close
Walk out of range
Now all that I can remember
Is seeing royal blue
I wish you the best
And I´ll go my own way
I must go my own way

Looking for Reasons
01:09
|
|||
|
A suckers blind perception
Of the reason why I'm here
Think that you can call the shots
But you've got nothing on me
The sounds don't always carry this, sometimes it's sincerity
Well I still feel my heart beat for this
The way it moved me at fifteen
But it seems like it became
Stuck on some repeat
Clouded by this repetition, there's nothing left to see
My mind is drawing blanks
Where is the weapon of change?
When all our words just say the same
Semi profound inspiration
That we claim
Will it leave a mark?
Are the words that we write down no longer enough?
Does the pen still bleed for the dire need?
That was the draw that got me here, well
I still believe

Lighter Fluid

You try to look ahead, but you don´t see a way out of this mess
And you burnt up all your chances, like another fucking cigarette
Shielded by excuses, I've seen it all before
You run back into hiding, I'm not running anymore
Cold fingers grasp at straws
But they struggle to hold on
To try find something
It passes in a blink
We're closer to the bottom
So much closer to the bottom than we think
Darkness cuts far deeper, than the edge of this society
The craving for sedation made it hard for you to breathe
Lost in your own story, the lies that you have told yourself to make it go away
I don't buy it, buy it anymore
Can you break the mould?
You started severing all ties
With those who always had your back
And it's a harsh and painful truth
But it was a choice you always had
Out there
You can
Only count on yourself

Guard Up
01:26
|
|||
|
Kept life at arm's length again
Because you're scared of consequence
The walls you've built around yourself
Break as you start to interact
When you
Take that step
And show something of yourself
I can relate
You're scared to step up to the plate
Now face the fact that life's not safe
Define yourself with risks that you take
We grow from what we choose to face
As the product of the constant change
You're still standing
And yes, I know
Life wasn't easy but it's not
Not
Set in stone
I know you're shaped by all the broken hearts
You tried to leave behind and not let them affect your life
The past should not define, the way you see this world
But if you let it in that is your own choice
You can drop it, let it go
If you choose to stay in solitude
You'll never fucking know that there is
More to people than you know

Contemplate
02:42
|
|||
|
I've said things that I'm not proud of
My short lapse of judgement makes me think I'm right
When I'm really wrong
And it's stupid of me to think that
My perspectives never change
My impatient conclusions are on no one else to blame but me
Now I'll choose to wait and contemplate
They fall from your mouth
Faster than, you realise
The words you wish you never spoke
Regret it weeps like a silent cry
Etch your mark in the skins of others
Don't regret the scars that they leave
And you stand by your words so proudly
But they'll never mean a thing to me
I've been searching for so long, so long
And paved my way through many mistakes
Trying to find definition in chaos
and see with my clear eyes before me
Too many chances I've thrown away
But got to know myself
Drop the judgements and keep your mind free
That's the only requisite I have
I've said things that I'm not proud of
My short lapse of judgement makes me think I'm right
When I'm really wrong
And it's stupid of me to think that
My perspectives never change
My impatient conclusions are on no one else to blame but me
Now I'll choose to wait
Now I'll choose to wait
Now I'll choose to wait
Now I'll choose to wait and contemplate

One and the Same
01:21
|
|||
|
I'm standing here
Sifting through the same old shit
Of the words I heard once before
And how they didn't change a thing
They were written in the shortest breath
The way your eyes still look the same
Copy of a cheap cliché
Well your hatred falls so short on me
My hands are not clean
I have made the same mistakes
Of letting damaging opinions have their way
Do you have another thing to say?
Or can we see things, see things through
A different frame
All of us had a thing to say about someone else and all their ways
And it never made you justified
Because you wrote a song about being betrayed
You never looked at yourself to right your wrongs
I'm sick of hearing the same songs
I'm sick of hearing the same songs again

Storm Drain
01:55
|
|||
|
The dried up blood of guilt and shame
All the mistakes that I've made
Are carved into the concrete that have once made up these city streets
I wonder if they wash away, from heavy downpour, another rain
Like fleeting years, that I have second guessed
Get flushed down the storm drains
But I know I've learned
From these years and what they left behind
The lessons of the hardship
that repeat when we don't grow to change
And they seem like never ending
Don´t look back
With a weary head and a heart full of regrets
Don´t look back
‘Cause you are not defined not by your past
Searching for some shelter from the gloominess of life
The winter grey throughout the years that's eating you alive
Worried about the footprints you think you'll leave behind
But nothing stays with the passing of the times
Now all that's left are memories of drunken nights in high school years
And I´ve realised that there's nothing for me there
Now all that's left are memories that wilted like the autumn leaves
I´ve realised that there's nothing for me there

Nothing Lasts Forever
03:44
|
|||
|
All I've come to know, it comes and goes
Like the winds are changing and things melt away like snow
Spring season comes and it will show
That a smile is still something that I can grow
I see the vacant empty stores of the streets I used to roam, now I sincerely know
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
I know the good and bad will come at changing tides
And nothing I've known will ever last
It doesn't matter the things you have
If you want to be someone of relevance
You start putting yourself last
It's in the giving that's the only thing that's left behind
So learn to give instead of desperation
With which you're holding on to life
I won't hold on to sense of worry
I know the worth of what I call my life
I know I won't feel bad forever
Nor does happiness linger for as long as I would like
Change is reoccurring
That's the only certainty in this life
So don't keep beating yourself up over questions why
There's only now
What is the meaning?
There's only now
What is the meaning?
There's only now
What is the meaning?
There's only now

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases.

A big plus for the album are the outstanding lyrics. The band has a message and knows how to push it, channeling their anger over greed in many forms over the aggressive music. This is the good stuff!
