Swords Up In The Air
03:03

Waiting for the world to fall
Eyes are peeking
On wall Maria
smiling deeper into mankind
Shaking underneath my feet
Hurry and get out of here
But panic freezes, why
Don’t you ever listen to me?
Let’s stay inside these walls
And be safe
But stay and you will never live
Run, all rise
To the hills and fight with
your swords up in the air
Running through the fire till the world..
It is defeat, having tried in vain
But they will always be there
Shaking underneath my feet
Let’s pray it doesn’t happen here
But I see no one let’s
Stay inside these walls

We could be the start
We could be a band
We could be the end
Of an old life
Choose a new one
while we live it
We could build a house
Build a strong house
And then we’ll take a dog
Build a log
Have a talk
At a whole other level
Could have built a home
Could have had a yard
Could have had a life
Have a log, have a dog
But then you felt like setting fire
When I’m with you I’m without you
I could have died here in your arms
But you ripped our lungs out before
‘for I realize I don’t need your lungs to breathe
Could have built a home
Could have had a yard
Could have had and old school chair
While I sang and
Watched your status grow
But you destroyed our home
Brought it down
Gave a frown
Took my crown
Gave a wink
And messed it up both of us

For god sakes help:
My 8-year old got taken away
He has a red dark mark under the eye
It’s not the pain that excites, it’s just the flesh that provides me I’ll meet you up there wrapped in tin foil
Stay with me, stay ‘cause we’re all prisoners
They rape us, they treat us like animals, we’re dying
You have to tell the people what happens here
You have to tell the people we are done
My five year old got left on a backroad
Her eyes were captured at a checkpoint near Harvard
please don’t forget about us
Help me, help all. For god sakes help me:
Or meet us up there wrapped in tin foil

Interlude A: Gazing
02:26
|

|
Your eyes they stare for a distance
The distance’s all there for joy
A joy for all and pain has gone,
the rain is left inside
you stare for a distance
and oh, they stare for more
they eat you from inside
a hero left to buy
Nobody’s pain
nobody will conversate
her eyes just move away inside
nobody will come
nobody will fly in
save you from the ash
the ash you left behind
Nobody will see you here
Well I’m home: Join me comfortably
Nobody will see you here
The distance is not enough: Join me comfortably

The Patient
03:50

Down! Another down
Don’t bring it up... Another time
You couldn’t help it, everyone knows you did your best
A little kid... Hold on to the dark side!
You know, everything... Everything is alright
But I know the truth: the truth will scare you
Come-on and hold me in your arms
Come on and save me..
Come on and tease me, I’m so down
And then it’s everything
Down! Another down
Don’t bring it up... Another time
But what becomes of you my love? Another love.
But I’m a patient! I’m a patient!
I don’t want you to see me
I wrote a few more, a few more lies for you
You’re uptown, but all ‘s forgiven son
Nobody blames you, or kicks you when you’re down
So just stick around thinking things will be alright
Come-on and hold me in your arms
Come on and save me

I’m out! I’m gonna step on the gas now
I am tired but I’m making my way
I still haven’t learned a goddamn thing
Still trying to say no, but there’s no no
To the thoughts that come rising:
Murder, regret, you should be dead or locked away screaming
I hope my kids don’t grow to be anything like me
Living all afraid in a house
That attacks them every day
It’s time for me to move out
Don’t take it the wrong way ‘cause
I like to think that everyone knows better than me...
So please stroke my belly and tell me it’s okay, cause
otherwise it’s pitch black..
Teach me to reject them, those burning eyes
I’m feeling weak today, I am surviving all the time
I’m gonna step on the gas now
I am tired but I’m making my way
I still haven’t learned a goddamn thing

Breathe, I am whispering
Dance, and I will fall
I’d let you make love to my whisper
and you waste it all
Don’t let go. Die, whispering please
Eat where I eat
You can dance where I tell you to dance
You can meet who I meet
You’d never rest where I can sleep
Don’t let go, I know where you’re from
Don’t go there, do it craving
Do let go, and paint your teeth

Interlude B: Brick
02:08
|
|||
|
Lock up your kids
Make sure that they won’t start thinking on their own
Teach me to be another brick in the wall
Do teach me the shape of the spoon
Muddy the water so it seems deep
Teach me to be another brick in the wall
Mother lock up your kids

Crawl In Pieces
04:16

You walk with Jesus
I cherish you for that sad stuff
I drew a cross on my forehead Its upside down
Cause I, I know, I know
You crawl in pieces
To the lamb on the throne
And tears will now stream
down your face
That the darkness will rejoice
One day we’ll dance to the voice of
Lucifer: draw me close
and let me know you are near
His hands relieve us
Open the floodgates of heaven and let it rain:
Let it rain, let it rain for Lucifer
Let it rain, let it rain for Satanas
Oh, let the mountains melt like wax before you
Oh, your lightning lights up the world
help us know you are near

I’m getting used to this life
Used the emptiness
To the finitude of all
And it’s fastened
Things I can change
Enjoy everything you undertake
I’m getting used to this life
I swallow the pieces
Of the things I cannot change
And it’s fastened
You will resign, you won’t come back again
To live your second live in a cloud somewhere
Swallow to find peace in not knowing how
Running, filling cracks with gold
and strengthen the things I can change:
enjoy everything you undertake
Dive in, finding peace in not knowing how
Swallow, filling hurt with gold and strengthen the
things I can change: enjoy everything you undertake
I’m getting used to this life
Used the emptiness
To the finitude of all
And it’s fastened
You will resign: you won’t come back again
To live your second live in a cloud somewhere

about
“While the world came to a standstill, Beachdog sharpened its claws” DaMusic (BE) wrote about the very first 7” of Beachdog. Finally, there is a new loud rock band with songs that will appeal to large audiences. Audiences that still miss going wild in sweaty halls with friends, fists in the air. Because Beachdog, after selling out their first three shows, had to cancel their first clubtour like many others. Thus, all energy is now focused on the release of their debut album.
Beachdog delivers a self-titled rock record that goes from loud to very loud, and yet is also enjoyable because of its dynamic. From grooving interludes to even an organ solo by Robin Piso on 'Good Morning'. Fresh neo-grunge, punk and post-hardcore reminiscent of Foo fighters and Soundgarden on the one hand and bands like Turnstile and Touché Amoré on the other. A sound that fills a gap in the Dutch band scene that had to be filled for years.
RELEASE DATE: 29th of April 2022
