DataBass

Gyakuten thumbnail
Gyakuten Vocals and lyrics that run the whole emotional gamut from nostalgic idealism to resigned frustration; thumping basslines and magnificent synth riffs that capture the yin and yang of software/hardware; and the brilliance of weaving thought-provoking ideas into catchy earworms -- all of this makes for an album that viscerally portrays the grandeur of our data-driven world and the messy amalgam of human lives that serve as bricks in its monolith. It's the Matrix in musical form :) Favorite track: Behold the Hunted (feat. Miki).

FoxPuppy The power in retro sounds isn't just in symbols and sounds from a bygone era. When an artist is able to, through lyrics, vocal performance, and vibe are able to transport you to another time emotionally, and recreate a sense of both comfort and newness within the heart of the listener, it's so much more

Stuck at home, your nose to glass And you’re breathing hard, hope the rain won’t last Our friends call to come and play Spend our nights on Nintendo games Stuck at home, A thunder crash And you’re bleeding hard, hope the pain won’t last But we grow up and we’ll survive So hold my hand until we say goodbye

Arianna 04:55
Arianna, I’m a goner For your love, I said it Tell me where this road will go So just Pack your bags, Pull back your hair Anywhere we’re headed Tell me where you want to go You are the soft complexion of the neon city lights You are a warm wave form, got my heartbeat pulsing tonight You are the spark I need to turn my engine over The thrill of speed I need when life is getting slower The unending reminder that it’s all gonna be alright Arianna, I’m a goner For your love, I said it Tell me where this road will go So just Pack your bags, Pull back your hair Anywhere we’re headed Tell me where you want to go You wear the afternoon like a coat for your troubled heart You wear the digital miles and the hours that keep us apart You love the sunset drives down the city streets That carry us out to the edge of our reality Where I’ll kiss you until our bodies melt inside of this work of art. Arianna, I’m a goner For your love, I said it Tell me where this road will go So just Pack your bags, Pull back your hair Anywhere we’re headed Tell me where you want to go

Ay, let go of the past!” But I’m faster, stronger than you’ve seen me before Cause we playing all day and they asking for more You can say that I’m a little nostalgic.

Time burns by like gasoline The night, she questions now Whatever do you mean? Future Punk, you’re 17 Light peaks through your shadows from the movie screen You’ve been broken down before The high tech Monsters burst through Your bedroom door Computer finally washed ashore They took her, so you say “Now it’s time to go to war” It’s the fear we get from the unknown Waiting for a call by the telephone Side by Side in the Danger Zone The matrix of your heart is becoming your home Jacked into the cyberspace Track them down through the Digital action Interface Fight for her; for the human race And feel the pulsing technotronic databass And when the twilight battle cry Calls you home on the wings of Mecha Butterfly Yeah You’ll inspire the samurai Their legacy ensures that you’re never gonna die It’s the fear we get from the unknown Waiting for a call by the telephone Side by Side in the Danger Zone The matrix of your heart is becoming your home It’s the fear we get from the unknown Waiting for a call by the telephone Side by Side in the Danger Zone The matrix of your heart is becoming your home It’s the fear we get from the unknown Waiting for a call by the telephone Side by Side in the Danger Zone The matrix of your heart is becoming your home Becoming your home Becoming your home

Shadows 05:36
Love is a studio with the curtains drawn Love is the girl who danced with no music on Love is shadow cast from the city lights Where are you tonight? Where are you tonight?

Flying 05:52
Here lie the ones who’ve forgotten the sun And were whisked off to another world Maybe I fought for the one that I thought Was the dragon pearl Maybe I’m just another girl How do you go to your deep undertow Cause I’m drowning on your shore? If your love is the ocean Your lies are a stone and it’s dragging me down to the floor Oooh I’m calling your bluff ‘Cause I’ve had enough I’m singing Hey Hey Hey No apology, Don’t talk to me Hey Hey Hey Yeah, Let’s agree to disagree It’s time to say goodbye ‘Cause you locked my heart in a cage And then left me to die, I’m singing Hey Hey Hey I’m driving to the sunset Now untangled from all the lying When you toss and you turn; When You miss me tonight, I’ll be Flying! Flying! Here lie the cuffs and shackles of pain that I hid Behind a wall of shame And the kid who believed everything was achieved When he won the game And still I’m crying all the same Every night I would look to the sky and dream Of interstellar love Now I spread both my wings and I fly with the kings I’ll be ready when push comes to shove I let you go Back in Tokyo I’m singing Hey Hey Hey No apology, Don’t talk to me Hey Hey Hey Yeah, Let’s agree to disagree It’s time to say goodbye ‘Cause you locked my heart in a cage And then left me to die, I’m singing Hey Hey Hey I’m driving to the sunset Now untangled from all the lying When you toss and you turn; When You miss me tonight, I’ll be Flying! Flying! Yeah we’re Flying, Flying, Flying, Flying Flying, Flying, Flying, Flying... You were everything I wanted but turns out you wanted more And it’s now or never, early bird So I’m walking out the door And singing Hey Hey Hey No apology, Don’t talk to me Hey Hey Hey Yeah, Let’s agree to disagree It’s time to say goodbye ‘Cause you locked my heart in a cage And then left me to die, I’m singing Hey Hey Hey I’m driving to the sunset Now untangled from all the lying When you toss and you turn; When You miss me tonight, I’ll be Flying! Flying!

Onward we will ride Journey far from home Planet's racing by We won't forget the Message sent by our forefathers "Stand together, we'll be stronger" Travelling at the speed of light We'll crash land in a brand new city We'll spin and wonder til it makes us dizzy A new horizon, the view is mesmerizing tonight We're flying at the speed of light Titans rule the world Dreams are bought and sold Cybernetic girl She said, "Remember To pack your clothes and ion blaster Take my hand now, we'll go even faster than the speed of light!" We'll crash land in a brand new city We'll spin and wonder til it makes us dizzy A new horizon, the view is mesmerizing tonight We're flying at the speed of light When we reach our destination Fall into my gravitation Faster than the speed of light We'll crash land in a brand new city We'll spin and wonder til it makes us dizzy A new horizon, the view is mesmerizing tonight We're flying, we're flying We'll crash land in a brand new city The star reflection never looked so pretty It's now or never, Dancing with whomever tonight Cause we're flying at the speed of light

Android 03:47
My memories are a lie that they forged in a lab Coded into my brain I think I might be going insane Cause my arms and my legs are synthetic With servos and wires in between. And I wish I could learn how to dream But I’m just a machine Everywhere that I go, there’s a shadow A specter from another world The ghost of human connection The voice of departed girl And the shifting of gears in my body Recount all the pain I don’t feel How the hell can I tell what’s real Waking as an android I’ve been destroyed And rebuilt again I think, but I don’t know And my thoughts go Every now and then Working as an android I’ve been employed To replace a man I need, but I don’t want And I know, but I don’t think I can They told me sentience was a gift to treasure Acquired by no fault of mine But my joints are from an assembly line Was it God or man that brought me to life here And promptly left my soul to die I can’t help but wonder why Waking as an android I’ve been destroyed And rebuilt again I think, but I don’t know And my thoughts go Every now and then Working as an android I’ve been employed To replace a man I think, but I don’t want And I know, but I don’t think I can

City lights in motion and sunsets by the ocean in my car Staring at the stars Walking down dilapidated memories, I never make it far Because I wonder where you are And is it so much to ask to be a firefly to petrify The night with an ember to glow? And is it so much to ask to see your face again? Where we began to grow I guess I’ll never know Like the wolves, I will look to the moon with a howl in the park Alone in the Dark Like your tears in the rain, I am lost and I won’t leave a mark Alone in the Dark No more chips left to cash, no more deep indebted stash to pawn Accounts overdrawn Silhouettes in stereo with old cassettes, the radio is on But when I listen, you are gone And is it a lot to want another lullaby for you and I I try, but it’s so hard to hear And is it a lot to want to travel back in time for one night A dream where you don’t disappear Like the wolves, I will look to the moon with a howl in the park Alone in the Dark Like your tears in the rain, I am lost and I won’t leave a mark Alone in the Dark Like the wolves, I will look to the moon with a howl in the park Alone in the Dark Like your tears in the rain, I am lost and I won’t leave a mark Alone in the Dark City lights in motion and sunsets by the ocean in my car Staring at the stars Windy on the coast where I have known to hear your ghost in my guitar Don’t let me fall apart Like the wolves, I will look to the moon with a howl in the park Alone in the Dark Like your tears in the rain, I am lost and I won’t leave a mark Alone in the Dark Like the wolves, I will look to the moon with a howl in the park Alone in the Dark Like your tears in the rain, I am lost and I won’t leave a mark Alone in the Dark

折れることはない  ながした血、無駄にしない  もう恐れることはない  Behold the Hunted, Behold the Hunted  今夜も屈せずに  死ぬまで戦う  空にこぶし上げて  Behold the hunted, Behold the hunted   We will bend but we won't break The blood spilt won't be in vain We are no longer afraid Behold the Hunted, Behold the Hunted We won’t bow to them tonight We will fight until we die Raise your fist into the sky Behold the Hunted, Behold the Hunted

I missed the train, I think I lost my ticket Slipped through my fingers in the rain Your voice is a vapor on every skyscraper Every day it’s the same I wore the silence like a blanket for my feelings Thought that it would be more polite So I could forget you, So I didn’t see your Silhouette every night God, if I only took a leap of faith Would everything have turned out the same The neon disaster, The galaxy master Who is there left to blame? Would every smile become a waking nightmare Hell from which I cannot escape I feel manufactured to only go backward Come and rewind the tape Winter turns to Spring Time heals everything Ride the Dragon’s Wings forever Arms are open wide Sunset Fireside You were always my endeavor My breath is heavy like a weighted die, I rolled to see if I had a chance So girl, was it worth it? We traveled the earth and Then we learned how to dance Now if I take the sword enchanted by you Sheathe it into my beating heart Would the curse unravel, the memory travel To let me restart? Winter turns to Spring Time heals everything Ride the Dragon’s Wings forever Arms are open wide Sunset Fireside You were always my endeavor

Emerald Eyes 04:19
Happy songs and empty rooms Good memories; They taste like you The morning Honeydew Long Brown hair and Emerald Eyes Your smile is warmer than the sunrise Nostalgic Butterflies Moonlit Shadows chase us home Our castle made of catacombs You’re all that I have known Touch your skin, we disappear Melt our bodies into the atmosphere Laughter laced with tears
13.
Artificial 04:34
You’re just a robot girl with a computer for a heart Nothing inside your mind but tangled wires and moving parts Was it the midnight drug or was it just naivete You were a program made to copy love and walk away You’re Artificial You’re Superficial Inconsequential You’re nothing special I recognized your components were not human at all But girl, I took a chance on you and it was my downfall You’re a machine void emotion collecting a heart or a few I’ll Randomly Access Memory and hope I forget about you You’re Artificial You’re Superficial Inconsequential You’re nothing special Maybe I’m sentimental I think we had potential But your Hardware was mental And your Software was stressful
14.
I remember holding on I remember the warmth of your skin just before you were gone Feel the wind from the breath of a ghost, even death is a con How much longer before the dusk turns to dawn?
