Ornero DJW's expedition into lyrical music should not be ignored. This album drips with experimental spirit whilst still being grounded in the synthpop genre. The raw vocals are as polished as to be expected in a first foray, but Dan successfully interweaves them in the novel and unashamed instrumentals. The individual songs take a lot of risks in small and large ways, making it very fresh yet familiar, and it has a lot of soul that comes through. It promises a lot of potential from DJW going forward! Favorite track: Paint The Picture.

Lies, lies, lies It can be done. Try, try, try. Believe me, Dear Oh, my Dear. Lies, lies, lies It can be done. Try, try, try. Believe me, Dear Oh, my Dear.

There's something in the air That we're breathing. Dark and dampening Is something the matter, babe? Don't fade away Don't slip away into the darkness. Let us embrace Your spirit and say I want you get better Baby, come with me Don't want to miss ya Cuz' I know that you want me. All of the time I resisted Time after time, I can't fit in I've never been a clever man Yeah I've never seen another path to roads of gold I know that life is short, life is lonely Reject all the past - reject of the plan Let's paint the picture Baby, come with me Don't want to miss ya Cuz' I know that you want me. All of the time I resisted Time after time, I can't fit in Let's paint the picture Baby, come with me Don't want to miss ya Cuz' I know that you want me. All of the time I resisted Time after time, I can't fit in

I keep winging Things I'm sinning You can make me love you Deep and dive I feel fine And I'm on my way Emulate my life You will find Shallow people I can see You can be Anything you wanted Take me away to another place I can't believe you You wouldn't leave me (x4) They keep on rocking down my lane Braindead hicks all just gone insane Vote for me Vote for them Yeah I'll get you a life But all they give out is just lies And I will wait to the new dawn Until I see your face Take me away to another place I can't believe you You wouldn't leave me (x4)

Freezing 04:58
Fallen once again In the sun In the sun My soul is locked up Like a wooden flower Static as a rock (Feeling) You have it (Emotion) I feel it (Healing) You heal it (Devotion) I give it (Guilt) You say it (Confession) I know it (Respond) I hear it (Discretion) You leave it I will make it Tonight it's freezing Inside you'll let me in your arms I can take it A sign to break it Define To win back your heart Your heart I keep on finding pieces of your love Of your love Do you feel the way I feel Do you need to let me in? In your world? I can see I can see I can I will make it Tonight it's freezing Inside you'll let me in your arms I can take it A sign to break it Define To win back your heart Your heart (Feeling) (Emotion) (Healing) (Devotion) (Guilt) (Confession) (Respond) (Discretion) I will make it Tonight it's freezing Inside you'll let me in your arms I can take it A sign to break it Define To win back your heart Your heart

The Imitator 04:48
Should I do the things they say? (You better do the things they say) Will I be locked up in a cage? (On a centre stage) Should I just go on my way? (Better not go away) Anything that I can't pay (My soul is priceless) Now there's nothing left to share I don't mind and I don't care All the thoughts inside my head Are all dead now I'm a imitator Duplicator I'm a imitator I'm a real faker Troubled times they go away With the things I should've said And all the things I'd never do 3 months in, I'm going blind From the thoughts within my mind Doesn't seem very kind Now there's nothing left to share I don't mind and I don't care All the thoughts inside my head Are all dead now I'm a imitator Duplicator I'm a imitator I'm a real faker Make the rules Break the rules Do as I say You bunch of Fools I will go my own way And leave you stranded For today I'm a imitator Duplicator I'm a imitator I'm a real faker

Bombardment 04:35
I don't care anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore (x2) Think about the future Think about the past Do you think you'll see me when you're free at last? 'I don't think I have the time' Send you a message It's a crime And I don't really have you And I don't really need you I don't care anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore (x4) I like to cherry pick The best things that've happened Because all of our lives are just a movie scene I think you'll care I think you'll see The best parts of me But I don't know if you'll ever respond And I don't really have you And I don't really need you I don't care anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore (x4) I don't care anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore (x4) I don't care anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore (x4)

We break the mould Do what we're told We can find the reason Light up my night Bright up my life Like shining Armor You can get higher You are desire Loud as a choir You are desire My spirits up Your love goes down Our souls are spinning around and around I need to know What you have found Don't leave me, baby Don't let me down (x20) You can get higher You are desire Loud as a choir You are desire I'll take you higher You are desire I'll lift you higher You are desire You can get higher You are desire Loud as a choir You are desire You can get higher You are desire Loud as a choir You are desire

Fade Away 04:20
Something has dragged me down again Once a lover is now a friend But I can't pretend That you're aint there Throw our love into the air And so you go away from me So fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away I don't have a lot to do Force myself in something new There's a passage right between your eyes A channel to let out your lies But I can't pretend That you're aint there Throw our love into the air And so you go away from me So fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away Fade, fade away
