If you ruled the world there would be no one to fear If you ruled the world there would be no one to steal from If you ruled the world there would be nothing to worry about If you ruled the world . All would be so clean Everyone would be so polite It's like when we were 17 Baby wouldn't it feel so right . If you ruled the world there would be no need for changes If you ruled the world there would be nothing to die for If you ruled the world there would be no need for revolutions If you ruled the world . All would be so clean Everyone would be so polite It's like when we were 17 Baby wouldn't it feel so right . If you ruled the world there would be no one to love

Coward 03:17
I was born and raised a coward like the ones that came before it should be easy to grow out of it but a coward is exactly what I was . taking comfort in self-pity indulging lies about myself now I'm heading to the graveyard faster than everyone else . there's still time to change the settings there's still time to grow a tree time to paint another portrait so time won't get back at me . But I was born and raised a coward like the ones that came before it should be easy to grow out of it but a coward is exactly what I was

The farmer said "the lady was nice She totally deserved a Nobel Prize" He wanted the whole world to know . The lady said "you're such a kind man With such a kind soul Can you take a small gesture to repay For the kindness of your words" But then she kissed him goodbye And brought his bloody tongue . And the farmer spoke no more
4.
Downtown 04:49
We're going downtown to try to feel better We're going downtown cuz everyone will be there too We're going downtown to make up for our boring lives We're going downtown cuz uptown there's nothing to do . We're going downtown we don't want to be alone with ourselves We're going downtown to meet our other half We're going downtown cuz we're tired of masturbating We're going downtown to have a story to tell . We're going downtown cuz daemons are friendlier when we're drunk We're going downtown cuz it's easier to find gigs when they're drunk We're going downtown cuz we feel so much closer when we're high We're going downtown but we know it's all a lie . And we feel so safe Until we get back
5.
You, nobody else but you It's you and everyone around You . And every time you second guess And dream of diamond safety nets We're through . Complaints will only bring you down But silence is screaming so Loud . I'm fading out Freezing in Hell . Baby, I don't feel so well
6.
The Sheep 07:00
I'll do whatever you tell me to I'll follow every step you take I'll trust all of your mistakes Because you know me . I'll go wherever you want me to I'll stand behind all your commands I'll be there if you tell me to Because you know me . I'll be whoever you need me to Like a sheep I'll always stand next to you Like a sheep I'll answer to no one but you And fear nothing but your censoring hand Because you know me
7.
Run run Run against clock They will never tell you when to stop . Burn burn Burn your childish dreams They will never tell you what they mean . Fight fight Fight against your gods They won't teach you how to beat the odds . And lay down But always be awake They will never tell you how to fake it . They will never have your back And they never lose control . Time time Time is running late They will never tell when to wait . Run run Hide your children's guns But they will never tell you where they're made . Try again Try the best you can They will never teach you to survive . Go away Find another place to stay But they will never tell you when to hide . It's just voices in your head But they speak so loud
8.
They'll offer the hardest The strongest of shields They'll promise the richest The wealthiest of reigns They'll ask you to join them Politely but firmly If you stay on the ground But I feel like jumping At least while I can . Always predicting Always preventing Most of times They have no regrets They're always in this world And on top of it all . They'll offer the hardest The strongest of shields They'll promise the richest The wealthiest of reigns They'll ask you to join them Politely but firmly If you stay on the ground But I feel like jumping . You can always join them whenever you want It will be easier to go through Unless you're still dreaming . They'll offer the hardest The strongest of shields They'll promise the richest The wealthiest of reigns They'll ask you to join them Politely but firmly If you stay on the ground But I feel like jumping At least while I can
9.
It's You 03:25
I know I'm supposed to let you go I'm really trying hard to do it But everywhere I go It's odd, but I seem to find you there . It's you in the dark And it's you in the river And it's you in the park And it's you in the mirror It's you at the disco And it's you in my bed It's you You're everyone I run into . I know I'm supposed to let you go But I don't think I can Cuz you're ghosts and dunes And meaningless tunes And the the dust of you Is falling everywhere Time should be able to number it And tell you not to fear Closure is near Brand new tunes may lick my wounds But old ghosts never dissapear . It's you in the dark And it's you in the river And it's you in the park And it's you in the mirror It's you at the disco And it's you in my bed It's you You're everyone I run into

about

BUY DOPPLER CD HERE - salivadiva.bandcamp.com/album/doppler

"Seja nas suas estruturas internas como no próprio alinhamento, as músicas articulam-se com um refinamento que só existe quando as primeiras são criadas com a mesma medida de paixão e experiência. E o álbum corre e não se sente peça fora do sítio, os loops existem e, elegantemente, não soam a loops — soam a banda completa —, há espaço para a tensão (Bloody Tongue, Downtown ou Ground People), para os lamentos talvez dolorosos, talvez estoicos (Coward e Baby I Don’t Feel So Well), para a sedução, mais ou menos excitada (Voices in Your Head ou The Sheep) e para a frescura (If You Ruled the World e, especialmente, It’s You) — tudo isto equilibrado, por vezes dançável, por vezes depressivo, por vezes feliz, por vezes sóbrio, outras tantas, não, por vezes a caminhar pela cidade enquanto luta por evitar um cigarro à socapa depois de anunciado ao mundo ter desistido e, de vez em quando, sentado num banco sem saber para onde ir. E sempre humano, profundamente humano." [menotlesterbangs]
