lyrics by Betty.
In another world, deep in my sleep
The shores calling me, I’ve gotta leave
Something’s happening, I cannot see
Moving slowly into the water
This voice becomes even louder
Deep, deep in this liquid world
Forget how to breathe, dive with me
Deep, deep forget who you are
You know where to find me
Come here and fight me
Unhuman forms, twisting my mind
Chased by a wind, the salt’s in my mind
Unhuman forms, twisting my mind
Escaping the fears once holding with tears
This voice, becomes even louder
Deep, deep in this liquid world
Resist? No! I’m staying
Deep, deep I know who I am
Escape in the water
Learning to navigate

Gift
02:17
|
|||
|
lyrics by Betty.
This time like a crime
Next time, you’ll be mine
‘Cos this gift, ist ‘das Gift’
This gift, ist ‘das Gift’
The lights trembling
And sounds spreading
Exploring, the deepest seas
Of our aching bodies
Exploring different parties
This gift, ist ‘das Gift’
And act of words that lost verification
Flying thoughts, that lost orientation
Beyond every doubt
Beyond every sound
I’m so certain, you waited too long
For this gift to come
Mind traps, wide open
Forget now, you’re broken

Wollen

|
lyrics by Betty.
Bei dir, sein wollen
Mitten, aus dem was man tut
Weg sein wollen
Bei dir, verschwunden sein
Nichts, als bei dir
Naeher, als Hand an Hand
Enger als Mund an Mund
Bei dir sein wollen
In dir, zaertlich zu dir sein
Dich, kuessen von außen
Und dich streicheln von innen
So und so und auch anders
Aber, zwischendurch Abstand suchen
Um dich, sehen zu koennen
Aus ein, zwei, Handbreit Entfernung
Und dann dich, weiterkuessen

Morning Blues
02:42
|
|||
|
lyrics by Nick.
This lonely girl of mine
The one I left behind
Misplaced in a town
Was blurry from the start
What she had always been
A lonely heart I knew
This astray girl of mine
Was never born to lose
(I think) she has the morning blues
She wasn’t sure of where
There was a place for her
She never cared to laugh
In a world so sad
She wanted to go home
But never found the road
And all this time along
She tried to get along
(I think) she has the morning blues
She bought a pink guitar
To form a girl band
She started singing what
A lovely song she sang
(I think) she has the morning blues

Lorellei
02:36
|
|||
|
lyrics by Betty.
Walking in the corridor telling nothing
Moving slowly, slowly like playing hiding
Sacred secrets lost in vain
Can’t get enough, enough of this pain
Follow the dream, the dream of the sphere
Echoes of voices spinning in noises
Lorellei
Sometimes you feel like she’s smiling
A dancing field full of shadows
Dancing and screaming in ecstasy
This night she ‘ll meet the next role to be
Capture the dream, move close to the stream
Strains holding tight, the crystals in sight
Lorellei
In circle her thoughts, the borders are set now
Destroyed the connections, lined up they wait now
Lorellei on this sphere without fear
Dissolving the mystic atmosphere
Captured in dream, she steals all the flavours
Disguised in all stories, running like hell
Follow the dream, the dream of the sphere
Echoes of voices spinning in noises
Lorellei

lyrics by Betty.
Oeffne deine Augen und jetzt tauche ins wirre Blaue
Da wo es immer schoen ist klar oder warm
Nacht, oder Tag
Entdecke uns im Wirbel des Blauen
Zerhaute Ueberraschungen die immer wieder vorkommen
Du denkst, du traeumst, willst nicht wach warden
Und du tauchst tiefer und tiefer und du bleibst laenger und laenger
Im Rausch der Sinne du hoerst die Farben und alles loescht sich in Tonwellen auf
Schwach oder stark
Schwach oder stark das ist unser Land
Immer blau
Wach und im Traum das ist mein Land
Immer blau, immer blau
Denkst du wir sehen uns wieder
Egal denn alleine oder zu zweit das ist unser Land
Immer blau

Marathon
02:51
|
|||
|
lyrics by Nick.
You want to get away with the train of no direction
Pictures of places, pictures of people, leave you with frustration
The situation couldn’t work out, waiting for a false intention
It’s always getting oh so hard, sticking out for perfection
You wanna be astray
And now, you’re thinking of going to Paris
You want to separate feelings that, lost sensation
You’ve got it wrong, counting on, that first impression
In your mind, visions and dreams, are gone to another dimension
It’s always getting, oh so hard, looking for salvation
You wanna be astray
And now, you’re thinking of going to Paris

A bird and a kid, sitting on a tree
When the moon is up, stops reality
A hand on a cheek, a kiss to a freak
An operating heart, stops automatically

The Otherside

|
lyrics by Nick.
I thought you could be, could be the one
The life you promised, to me once
I thought I’ve got it, right for once
I want you for it, the otherside
I thought you could be, could be the one
The life you promised, to me once
If you could only, go back in time
I want you for it, the otherside
My mouth is full, the otherside

Kreislauf

|
lyrics by Betty.
Raeder eines Wagens, voll mit Farben
Ein Kreis von Gedanken, mein Atem beraubt
Fuehlst du die Drehungen?
Du schwebst in der Luft
Fuehlst du die Waerme?
Gelbes Licht ist blau geworden
Ich koennte traeumen, ist das das Mondlicht?
Ich sehe die Schatten, ist das das Mondlicht?
Fuehlst du die Drehungen?
Du schwebst in der Luft?
Fuehlst du die Zeit, einsame Figur?
Worte die schweben, drehen und quaelen

|
lyrics by Betty.
Imagine you’re so high, you’re falling and falling
While thousands of pictures are running in your mind
You’re swallowing the air, your heart runs in order to capture your mind
Music from a strange world, the door opens
Looking for her, with no mask
Lost in the fog, feeling her eyes
Black angels and white devils, masters and servants of another dimension
Music’s hitting you from everywhere, you can’t stop it
You don’t wanna escape, you’re dancing and dancing
Her transparent eyes, are looking for you, locking you, even tighter
She hurts you, hurts you, you don’t wanna let her, let her go
Never again, never again

Girls talk, non-stop
It was a misfortune, summer at the camping
Girls were all around me, what a misfortune
Girls talk, non-stop

Lost Planet
03:12
|
|||
|
lyrics by Betty.
See them, how they meet
See now, what they need
Glue spreads all over tight bulbs
Crazy parties, hungry black holes
Trying to capture every single moment
Every single moment
Now they suffer, so perfect
All their nerves collect spreading neutrons
Neutrons of a lost planet
Watch now, feel the tension
Moon and sun, soon they’ll run
Away, apart, it lasts forever
Colours of a broken palette waiting for their moment
To capture them in its drained cells

lyrics by Betty.
Fuer diejenigen, die nix zu melden haben
Wach nicht auf, ohne zuvor
Getraeumt zu haben
Spiel nicht mit Sachen, die du verstehst
Sprich mit allen, die lachen koennen
Pass auf die Ecken auf, die tun weh!
Spiel
Sachen, in allen
Ecken
Holz-Metal-Plastik
Warte bis, das Raumschiff da ist
Werde schwerlos willst du nicht?
Warte auf Niemanden und nicht auf alle
Pass auf die Ecken auf, die tun weh!
Hast du Granaten, Granaten versteckt?
Manche sind Frisch
Holz-Metal-Plastik
Das wars
Ende Ecke

Song For Karen
02:33
|

|
lyrics by Nick & Karen.
This song is about Karen
She’s wearing out, black mini skirt
White see-through shirt
She’s not a slut, effusive girl
You’re glad to see her, late at night
With other girls
Watch out the guys, elusive girl
Don’t’ misunderstand her
Karen, she’s not a slut!
Karen, not a slut!
Don’t’ misunderstand her
She’s hanging out, at fancy bars
You see her glimpse
Don’t laugh at her, effusive girl
All the guys would love to see her
Looking back
Don’t think about, an easy shag
Don’t’ misunderstand her
Karen, she’s not a slut!
Karen, not a slut!

Theme For A Band
06:16
|
|||
|
lyrics by Nick.
Looking for a band name
Is it such a shame?
Needed for a while
Let’s get drunk, in the night!
Go, slow, girl!
Catch me if you can!
Spent a year on the dole
Drinking pints of alcohol
Born a band of its own
Words and pieces, a syndrome
Go, slow, girl!
Catch me if you can!
lyrics by Nick.
'Dirty Love'
My so called, eternity
Comes as a lie when you deceive it
Shines bright on my forehead
When you abuse it
Smells like a deadline
Dirty love,
The mess we’re in
A dirty love
A breath that I take
Just puts you away
I’m losing my senses, why can’t you see it?
People go blind
You left me behind
Tonight let’s be it
Dirty love,
The mess we’re in
A dirty love

Slang Alcedo Drama, Greece
Slang Alcedo were formed in Drama, Greece, in the summer of 2003 by siblings, Betty & Kostis, along with childhood mate, Nick. They did a couple of live gigs in Drama & Thessaloniki and recorded 3 albums. They split up in the fall of 2008, but a reunion is still an option! Their influences are varied due to the band members different tastes in music, films, etc. That's what motivates them really. ... more
