Feindbild 03:41
Neues Gesicht in der Manege Im immer gleichem Stück Eine fiese Fratze Versteckt hinter einer Maske Spritzt Gift mit falschem Lächeln, Mit Fingern über Kreuz Die Hetze wird zum Sturm, Reißt Schneisen in den Verstand. Dein Feindbild, so lebt es sich leicht, das direkte Negativ deiner Selbst. Der Hass die Saat Eine Täuschung Verführt die sich suchen Sich gar nicht erst finden Es bleibt wie es ist Ein Versprechen an dich selbst Die Welt klein und grau Keine weitere Facette erlaubt Dein Feindbild, so lebt es sich leicht. Scheuklappen und Schaufel für unser Grab. Bis zum Hals im Dreck stützen wir weiter dieses Lichtspielhaus.

Beauty In Me 03:13
No more living in denial. I am not doing you justice anymore. I can't deny these feelings deep inside. That's who I am. Everything I always wanted to be. That's who I am. Can't you see it? I made a promise to myself. I reject to live my life concealed. I embrace the beauty in me. No longer guided by your anxiety. It felt like venom to me. Cause it makes a difference staying true to yourself. Every last effort will be worth it in the end.

Within Reach 03:42
It seems so clear. It seems so real. A solution within reach. We need to question our own privilege. Start to listen, reflect and react. A revolution of the mind to redefine our empathy to organize and utilize our means creating positive change. End all this misery End all this agony I'm reaching out to you

Interlude 01:00
5.
I disapprove your conduct I decry your act I see you marching all the time. fascist pigs misguiding the blind. No tolerance for your kind. Barricades against you scum. 'cause it's always worth the fight! You declare it's your freedom of speech. You're guilty for spreading hate. You create a world full of fear. You're selfish, you lost the ability to feel Be aware, I'm opposed to you Be aware, I won't back down
6.
Your act is just a deception You just hide in disguise Your compassion has never been applied We're longing for revolt We're longing for a change You preach love - as long as it's white and straight You grow your wealth by exporting the death The enslaved are starving while you start to praise the allmighty Dollar The foundation to your power So you create a world covered by a veil for you to shine for you to be king You're standing on their backs and keeping them down. Meanwhile you are burning our earth to the ground Your growth is sacred Stop pretending that you might give a fuck You crave for money til the world collapse
7.
Eure Angst Schein und Trug - Eure Menschlichkeit Eure Angst Heuchelei die in euch keimt Eure Angst wart ihr nicht immer blind für das Leid? Eure Angst vor der Vergänglichkeit von dem was ihr habt.

Shelter 03:53
Find myself, stuck in a repetitive condition I feel torn My perception covered by a pale gray veil My defense from the world outside And like cancer, evil is spreading in my cells Still alive but numb Relentless pressure forcing me into this state of mind Drowning in regrets My heart is pounding and crushing through my chest. I am afraid of myself So give me shelter from myself Just a place to lay my head Lend me a shoulder and a forgiving embrace Help me count to ten Help me calm me down Disconnect myself from the evil within Shed my skin; never again try to fit in This will be an act. My means to stay alive

about

"Crucial State" delivers a cross-section of the genres punk, hardcore and post-something. The goal was to absorb and process as many influences as possible outside of the genre-typical elements. Breaking through the usual song structures and thus giving more intensity to the frustration, the anger and the message. The lyrics criticize our society, our dealings with nature, injustices in a capitalist system, mental health and individual identity. Between melodies and aggression, a feeling of anger, melancholy, but also hope arises.
