Paralysed 03:37
PARALYSED VERSE I why do you stop by? why do you call in? when you know I won’t rest my head tonight why do you come here? why do you choose me? when you light my, my emptiness CHORUS It ain’t right I’m paralysed (2x) fear is the flame that is burning me down what do I need? you should know by now VERSE II just a blank page a narrow cage I wish that I could make an escape just a blank page on another day you know that there’s nothing left to take CHORUS MID8 SECTION your heartbeat pumping is my nightmare your breath puts chills down my spine
2.
Trapdoor 03:51
TRAPDOOR VERSE I the blood of my veins Is pumped into your hands like a puppet you control I’m feeling the effects I’m lost, lost like the needle I drown, drown at the low tide CHORUS a sign from you Is my attraction but the focus on you might be a trapdoor VERSE II you’re my engine and drive the bitterness that bites but you poison me all day and the night I’m lost, lost like the needle I drown, drown at the low tide CHORUS
3.
Could Sleep 03:55
COULD SLEEP VERSE I sometimes silence is the quietest violence when in the night I can’t close my eyes sometimes words are a soul-breaking curse when in the dark not a single spark CHORUS I wish that I could sleep but all my demons defeat me I’m waiting frustrated I wish that I could sleep VERSE II sometimes silence is the quietest violence when in the night I can’t close my eyes and I would pray for the upcoming day to close my eyes to clear my mind CHORUS
4.
ANOTHER HEART/ANOTHER MIND VERSE I you’ve been feeding all my desires But should I dare to start a fight I wanna be the one you admire I wouldn’t care to hurt your pride and if you fall from great height and you’re feeling low and if you fall from great height I will be here below CHORUS Another heart, another mind would you care to stay apart? a stolen heart, a stolen mind VERSE II although I tried to hide my desires it seems I’m bound to these chains leave my thoughts or stay in my life I feel you coursing through my veins and if you fall from great height and you’re feeling low but if you fall from great height I will be here below CHORUS
5.
SILVER LINING VERSE I every harbour is welcome station when outside it’s stormy weather every closeness is a holy blessing to wrap yourself in pure isolation CHORUS I’ll be your lover And be your guide (Silver Lining 2x) You’ll be my own, my own delight (Silver Lining 2x) object of desire VERSE II every sun ray effects a miracle when the moon shines bright by day every contact is a seldom benefit when you bath in people’s vanity CHORUS
6.
STEP STEP STEP VERSE I step step step You’re keeping in time in the line And follow the signs Step step step All that is fine But in your head All that’s a mess CHORUS Yeah it’s over and over the same Just a repetitive game And it’s over and over the same Just a repetitive game VERSE II Step step step You’re in a cage An animal that slowly fades step step step say what you wanna say Your insides Forced to obey step step step You’re keeping in time in the line And follow the signs Step step step All that is fine But in your head All that’s a mess CHORUS MID8-Section join in our ride `cause this is your life (4x) VERSE III Step step step you keep in time step step step keep in line
7.
By & By 04:16
BY & BY VERSE I the sun attracts my attention There’s so much i’d ignored and when it catches my eye I feel like I’m alive but would you care if I go? and would you stay if I go? CHORUS By and by in the night It creeps from inside By and by in the night A cold wind bites I’m alright I’m alright VERSE II your smile wins my affection There’s so much I’ve ignored and then i realise That time is passing by but would I care if you go? And would I stay if you go? CHORUS MID8-Section=CHORUS CHORUS
8.
Lecter 03:49
LECTER CHORUS and I sit here in silence as my feet lose the ground and i sit here in silence as my feet lose the ground VERSE I it’s in the way that she walks it’s in the way that she talks it’s in the way that she tosses and turns it’s in the way that she walks it’s in the way that she smiles it’s in the way that she breathes (it’s in the way that she tosses and turns) CHORUS 2x VERSE II it’s in the way that she weeps it’s in the secrets she keeps it’s in the way that she turns my head it’s in the way that she sleeps it’s in the way that she walks it’s in the way that she talks (it’s in the way that she turns my head) CHORUS 2x
9.
LET IT IN, LET IT OUT VERSE I I wanna take your soul wanna steal your thoughts I wanna keep control You’ve got so much to give about the clothes you wear about the life you live CHORUS I won’t heal your broken soul Let it in, let it out Let it in, let it out I won’t heal your broken soul Let it in, let it out Let it in, let it out VERSE II time is all I need from you And if you give me more Let’s see what I can do `cause you’ve got so much to give as if you really care About the life you live CHORUS MID8-Section you’re breaking the rules (2x) `cause it suits your game you’re breaking the rules (2x) as it feeds your fame CHORUS
10.
IF THERE WAS A LIGHT VERSE I if there was a light I’d like to shine on If there’s space and time I’d like to take that away from you hold on to night it guides you hold on to he fight they can’t take that away from you CHORUS and it feels like I’m floating away from you (2x) we can take it on, we can take it on, we can take it, take it on the other side (2x) VERSE II if there was a light you have to shine on if there’s space and time I will give it away to you hold on to the night it guides you hold on to the fight they can’t take that away from you CHORUS If there was a light (2x)

Breath In 03:29
BREATHE IN VERSE I lost in the dark In the wideness of oceans which soaks you up and floods your emotion Is this the life, is this the life, you live like? is this the life, is this the life, you live like? CHORUS there is hope in the air you should breath in, in breath all these rooms of despair you should leave them, leave them (2x) VERSE II forgotten, alone in a current of motion that carries you on and breaks your devotion is this the life, is this the life, you live like? VERSE III light in the dark in the blackness of ocean that carries you up and heals your emotion is this the life, is this the life, you live like? CHORUS

about

After their spectacular debut, the natives of Emsland in the west German state of Lower Saxony come across in this cross-genre sophomore effort as a musically mature unit with an unerring feel for expansive melodies. It takes a band like Razz, really still kids themselves, to demonstrate that, even in 2017, you can still touch people’s hearts and make a statement with guitar-based music, as long as you go about your business with euphoria, passion, conviction, and a ton of talent. This album, produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, Kaiser Chiefs and others), stringently documents an impressive musical development. It’s a work that pushes all of the supposed rules to the point of parody. A work that pulses with the utter freshness, outstanding songwriting, and clearly defined musical identity that can emerge only from the shared conviction of a closely connected group of musicians – a work that could turn the world on its head, if only for a moment. With their debut album, “With Your Hands We’ll Conquer,” Razz offered the world an irresistible manifesto for modern guitar music. “Nocturnal” takes a huge step further, and is even more savvy, diverse, determined, and melodic.
