Family Business & Other Substitutes

Family Business Album

We all have to get rid of traumas that were stacked during the first years of our lives. No matter whether they were caused by parents’ best intentions, an ignorant environment, or forms of deprivation. Some of us even spend a lifetime repairing childhood damage.

When we reach the age of thought, we tend to surround ourselves with replacements for what we subconsciously think we lacked during our youth.

Most of us are not aware that our drives are mostly imagined and not rooted in our deepest selves. Still somewhere somehow the feeling stays that we miss something; we are longing to be free.

There is a lot to be afraid of without acknowledging it's boredom we fear the most. For this reason many let what they do in daily life define their identity.

We are educated in a school system that teaches us mainly to use our minds and underexposes that feelings are actually important.

When we choose for fun, we suddenly see that it's brainwashed people who are fighting wars.

We don’t want to be treated like strangers and we need to be courageous enough to accept that people think about us whatever they want.

It's our assignment to train our eyes in such a way that we are able to recognize the imaginary diseases society imposes on us as such. It makes no sense to honour the dead only to cover up our own despair.

Family Business

They do it. They did it. And then it’s done.

Interlude 1

Lifelong trying to compensate the maddening environment.

Trying to Get a Hold

The one who makes the animals move.

Heart Warmer

Can you feel it?

Gifted Feelings

Prodigy’s son with Down syndrome makes us smile with lonely feelings. Addictive guilty amusement; no one is proud of neighbour’s deeds.

Angels want to Fly

No crash could comfort this world. Animals would never allow hard-faced suffering like this.

New Era, Old Hat

Baking the stars, stroking the sun. Brainwashed came back from their wars. We only stayed for the fun.

Interlude 2

When you treat me like a stranger it makes me want to cry.

Retro Reset

Futile attempts to change the past, endeavours to stop being haunted by old ghosts. Force the world to take a brake and let the people think what they want!

The Girl Who Invented Herself

She knows more than she shows.

Other Substitutes

Share your self with the believers to make them sweat like they should!

Outro

This is the way! But there is no way out.
