[Info] Sink into sea and circular pullback
一首帶著Post rock/ Shoegazer兩種影響著樂隊的音樂體系的純音樂作品, 特別之處是在錄音過程中即興創作出來, 履行著studio-as-instruments的音樂精神. 而全曲的4個chord是來自樂隊另一首作品Reload the gun歌曲中段的3拍子變奏而成.歌曲由有如汪洋般的ambient鍵琴, post rock的結他及choir式的詠唱開始, 再到突如奇來的失真結他噪音, 如歌曲名字一樣墮進茫茫的大海之中.

歌曲曾收錄在"Collected Monsters 2!Live "音樂會的現場錄音合輯中, 是一首帶有點點space rock味道的中板作品, 朦朧的結他氛圍, 浮游的鼓擊, 加上點點soundscape聲效, 令人感覺跌蕩於太空之中, 之後再推進至歌曲末段結他, loop, 人聲與噪音互相交錯的場面. 歌曲內容是道出科技帶給人的迷惘及恐懼感, 人類已迷失在科技, 電腦及人為溝通之間.

 

[Info] My Fragile Happiness
被樂隊形容為"小品" 的一首作品, drum loop再加上簡單的編曲, 歌曲第一句歌詞 “We walked slowly into the forest. We heard the stranger noise around us” 已勾畫出一片幽幽的景像, 在迷離電氣化的氛圍下滲透著點點哀愁. Chorus部分有如Dave Gahan/Martin Gore式的高低音二重唱, 更有著對Depeche Mode致敬的味道. 內容描述一對朋友在最好的地方失去互信關係, 道出人與人之間脆弱的一面. 而現場演出時會變為較煽情的full band演奏.

 

[Info] Lose the Wheel
典型的英式indie rock, 早在98年已寫成的最早期作品, 全曲充斥著distortion結他, 每次玩奏此曲時都能帶給樂隊亢奮的感覺, 從中可察覺早期Radiohead對樂隊的影響. 而歌曲結尾會有一段數十秒的電氣化純音樂變奏. 內容所道出是人們對一些信仰, 事和物執迷地相信, 即使這些東西最終會背棄你.

 

[Info] You Don't Belong...
全碟最電氣化的一曲, 特別用上電鼓來錄制鼓擊部分, 80’s electro/synth pop的影響不言而喻, 被樂隊形容為"發育不健全, 但有著結他樂隊基因的電子作品". 在fuzz的bass line及analog synth電聲穿插下配上Joel經過聲效treatment的主唱, 道出是每一個人內心都有屬於自己的世界, 可以胡作非為, 可以是妄想狂, 但若這世界給人發現便會立即消失.  

 

[Info] (E-04)
一首四十多秒的靜態作品, 是主音Joel彈奏著MS2000創作而成的, 樂隊一首未經正式排練的歌曲的一部分. 朦朧的鍵琴氛圍配以重疊的主唱, 極其夢幻的一首作品. 歌曲名字來自所用的鍵琴聲在MS2000中的編號.

 

[Info] Plaint Bitterness
灌錄此曲時已決定作為唱片的完場曲, 歌曲有如置身在寂靜的夜空下, 脆弱的結他, 鏗鏘的鋼片琴, 伴著溫暖的嗓音, 奏出一首令人縈繞心頭的作品.

作品所道出是苦澀不一定是沉重, 無助的, 可以是軟綿綿的, 當你用另一個角度去看的時候, 可帶著一點點希望.

 

[Lyric] Explorer#3
Enter this site, I would like to be a lost car
Internet will kill me in this corner
I'm not alright, I'm not alright
That's electric sky, I'm not alright
Beware of human's wisdom when you rely on that
Beware of human's wisdom when you rely on that

End of a century, people losing their reason
This computer will take over you to become my friend
It's like my hand, It's like my head
Computerhead

Beware of human's wisdom when you rely on that
Beware of human's wisdom when you rely on that

Beware of human's wisdom when you rely on that
Beware of human's wisdom when you rely on that
This connection will gulp you down when you rely on that
In this time we're the bondsman
We're always same, we're always living alone
We can't go, we can't go, we can't go

 

[Lyric] My Fragile Happiness

We walked slowly into the forest
We heard the stranger noise around us
There are so dark and cold make us losing the way
Remembrance melted into nothing
Stop wasting the time
Stop wasting the time
We lose reliance in perfect place

No rush, no fuss follow
When I'm floating in the sea
Flying the bothers away

Now I come to disappear
Many circumstances under control by myself
Flying the bothers away
Can I forget something ?

We've got fragile happiness again
The fear is coming clear again
Deep sleep in the green velvet make me forget your face
Remembrance melted into nothing
What are you thinking about ?
What are you thinking about ?
Glaze us struggle in the circle you can

No rush, no fuss follow
When I'm floating in the sea
Flying the bothers away
Now I come to disappear
Many circumstances under control by myself
Flying the bothers away
Can I forget something ?
Don't you see my fragile smile

 

 

[Lyric] Lose the Wheel

I can feel you around me
I can hear your voice telling me
I can't see your face thoroughly, have gone away, away
I am breathing like dancing
The voices are no ending
Love is all belonged to me, and on and on again

Everytime I'll trust you
Let me swallow the pills
Wish you can take me out of the blue
I don't comprehend you
Lie to me in the room

Don't leave me standing in the cold
Leave me in the cold
Oh, get right with you, I do 

Drive the car on the highway
Feel the sun on a good day
I could visualise the darkness around around in this way
I just wanna have control
Help myself to escape from a hole
Whenever wherever I go
I hear you shouting in my soul

Everytime I'll trust you
Let me swallow the pills
Wish you can take me out of the blue
I don't comprehend you
Lie to me in the room
Don't leave me standing in the cold
Leave me in the cold
Oh, get right with you, I do

 

[Lyric] You Don't Belong...
You're so pretty
As you lay down by my side
I wanna talk to you
Close to you under the sunshine
All around in my own world
I could be king and you could be queen
Running in the street
Here is our paradise
Even though everything is not existing
I was dreaming when I slept		 Oh, only disappoint you
Cause everything you've said and done
I get one's breath again
To prove I'm still alive
Even though everything becomes a reality
I don't care, I don't care

I want to wake up and see everything
I want to wake up and hear everyhting
I want to wake up and change everyhting
But when I wake up my private world will wholly breakdown

 

[Lyric] (E-04)
Whispering my name
Whispering my name
I can feel it
Whispering my name

 

[Lyric] Pliant Bitterness
There's the night that I cannot sleep
Kind of sounds all around
Anything could worth for a smile
Can you reply to me ?

You said I'm tired
Just like a child's tears
Caress for life
I get enough

 Universe had crossed the black star
Knowing that I'm still alive
I want you to know I'm still beside
It's so quiet in the night

You said I'm tired
Caress for life
I get enough
