This Moment (End of the Vacation) 06:24
lyrics
buy track
In this moment in this life We’re all standing here Take the moment, take the night Before you disappear, disappear Floating Trojans, flashing lights Feel it in your ears Rush the magic, crush the ice Stand before your fears Don't be afraid Though it may be brief Though it may be all you have right now This moment is real This moment is real This moment… And all I can do is smile What a moment what a night I’m grateful to be here Life is painful; we survive Breathe the atmosphere And all I can do is smile When image fractals in my eyes I fall within the sphere I want this moment and my life Before I disappear And all I can do is smile

What I Cannot Have 04:55

Sideways eyes, skirt hem hides Curving thighs and a soft serve prize Gentle sway, class and grace Lips apart as I watch your face You feeling me? Step in time, hold your line Don’t go too far and we’ll all be fine Take my waist, fake embrace Just imagine how I taste I want what I cannot have Believe me, I I want what I cannot have Naturally, I I want what I cannot have I’d never act on this but I want… I want Playing down, stepping round Standing here not quite breathing Staying true, faking cool I know you know that I want you You feeling me? I want what I cannot have Believe me, I I want what I cannot have Naturally, I I want what I cannot have I’d never act on this but I want… I want Believe me Naturally, I I'd never act on this but mmm I want…

Dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike It was so dreamlike I fell so into you You and your dark lies Stories that smoothed and subdued my soul It was so dreamlike You never knew I knew How many past lives Did you think I’d have to live through? And now you come and go And now you come and go like a dream Dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike Boy I’m not that sleepy No longer chasing after your dream I thought you’d be with me You stayed with that story you chose to weave And just like a nightmare You’ve moved onto someone new All the times I laid me bare You promised you would always come through And now you come and go And now you come and go like a dream Now you come and go Now you come and go like a dream Dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike Dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike It was so dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike Dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike It was so dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike It was so dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike It was so dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike, dreamlike It was so dreamlike

Sabotage 04:48

Quietly, slowly Incrementally I sabotage Sabotage If I was happy I probably wouldn't have If I was older I would have learned by now You were none the wiser And by the time you were there I was gone I was gone I was gone Quietly, slowly Incrementally I sabotage Sabotage If I was into you as much as I should have been If you could drive me wild But there was nothing you could do And by the time you knew it I was gone I was gone I was gone I was…

Oh Valley awaits Is it too late Time, to time Is pulsing, standing still and I’m Revolting Trying to find a way This light, la light Meandering towards the eye Purporting, eternal hurricane Can I ask you to wait I’m looking yonder In a daze, strange old maze and I’m looking yonder towards you If I pray could we stay together? Call it fate, call us strangers I’m looking yonder towards you I'm looking yonder My my Surmise my my What would I pay to take my time Contorting Syncing to a new phase Goodbye, bye bye The Valley waits but then my pride My ego Won’t let me find the way Can I ask you to wait I’m looking yonder In a daze, strange old phase and I’m looking yonder towards you If I pray could we stay together? Call it fate, call us strangers I’m looking yonder towards you I'm looking yonder Bye bye If I pray could we stay together? Call it fate, call us strangers I’m looking yonder towards you Is it too late Why can’t you wait Looking, looking, looking, looking yonder Could we stay together Let’s stay together I’m looking yonder towards you Towards you (look you man, Jah Jah is coming)

Going down, going down Going down, going down Going down, going down You’re going down, going down Going down, going down Going down, going down Big man, big hands, big lies Big poser, Mr Big Guy Big shoes, big feet, big smile Big talk, big deal, beguile Such a big pedestal Such a big distance to fall Wouldn't be such a problem If you didn't behave so small Your days are numbered, wicked Babylon (going down, going down) Your days are numbered, wicked Babylon (you’re) Your days are numbered, wicked Babylon (going down, going down) Your days are numbered (going down, going down) Little voice, little noise, little fight Little money, none of the might Little stance, little self, little pride Little job, little house, little ride What good is your word Beyond reasonable doubt? But when you stand together The truth comes out Wicked Babylon your days are numbered (going down going down) Wicked Babylon your days are numbered You’re going down, going down Going down, going down Going down, going down Justice will be served Wicked Babylon your days are numbered

I know you're close I can tell cos my hair is standing on end I want you, I can tell It's clear this is more than just friends Because your touch is a touch electric Rub me up, get me static I'm amped up on the feel of you You’re a touch electric You got me buzzing I can’t switch off, I can't sleep, but somehow You got me dreaming in high voltage Permanently And in the darkness, in the dead of night I swear I feel your lips on mine I’ll flick the switch, I’ll scratch the itch I’ll flick the switch, I’ll scratch the itch Because your touch is a touch electric Rub me up, get me static I'm amped up on the feel of you You’re a touch electric Electric Because your touch is a touch electric Rub me up, get me static I'm amped up on the feel of you You’re a touch electric Electric (interlude) Because your touch is a touch electric Rub me up, get me static I'm amped up on the feel of you You’re a touch electric Electric Your touch Your touch Because your touch Touch electric Touch electric

I hear you crying baby, and it breaks my heart Everybody suffers baby, but this is so much I know it hurts baby, and yet you smile at life And I don't understand - how did you survive? To the moments, to the years To the sighs and the cheers All the times that were shared Beyond all suffering, dona eis requiem To them, to them To them I see you mourning baby and I’m completely helpless And there is absolutely nothing that anyone can say Oh god I wish that I could say with any kind of authority "It’ll all be ok" To the moments, to the years To the sighs and the cheers All the times that were shared Beyond all suffering, dona eis requiem To them, to them So in this moment So in this moment baby all that I can do Is hold you tightly baby Just so that you can feel I’m here

about

Steady State Massive

Ephemera; A Eulogy

Today we remember Steady State Massive, a band of such promise who departed from our lives far too soon. As we reflect on their journey, we remember a collective of musicians and singers with immense talent and unwavering passion, whose aspirations were just beginning to bloom when the shadows of a global pandemic claimed their career.

Steady State Massive's love for music was the very essence of their being. Their voices carried the weight of their dreams, resonating with an authenticity that touched the hearts of all who listened.

In the face of adversity, Steady State Massive never ceased to inspire those around them. Even as they navigated the challenges of the pandemic, their optimism and unwavering determination shone through. Others found solace in their music, using it as a source of strength and healing during times of uncertainty. Their songs became a refuge, a balm for the weary hearts of a troubled world.

Steady State Massive's departure leaves us with a profound sense of loss, but let us not dwell solely on the sorrow. Instead, let us celebrate their life, cherishing the indelible mark they have left upon our souls. Through their music, they will forever remain present among us, their melodies echoing in the chambers of our hearts.

As we mourn Steady State Massive's untimely passing, let us also remember their music and the remarkable alliance of talent.

Though Steady State Massive's earthly journey may have reached its premature end, their legacy will endure. Their music will continue to inspire, to uplift, and to remind us of the beauty that exists even amid adversity. Through their songs, they will forever be a guiding light, a reminder to follow our dreams and seize the fleeting moments of life.

In our grief, let us also find solace in the knowledge that Steady State Massive's spirit will forever dance among the stars, singing harmonies with the angels. May their memory serve as a constant reminder that life is fragile and precious, urging us to embrace every passing moment and pursue our passions with unwavering fervor.

Today, we bid farewell to Steady State Massive with heavy hearts, but let us also celebrate the vibrant life they lived through the legacy of Ephemera. May their music live on, and may their spirit find eternal peace.

Farewell, dear Steady State Massive. You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten
