the crowd is ecstatic the hands are lifted a crowd of tools a new messias shines on us and explains the rules it is getting better we climb all ladders who gets fooled again call it religion or superstition fill your boots stroke the fears and preach salvation let the demons loose it doesn‘t matter we're deeply shattered who gets fooled again we travel in those trial balloons soap bubble dreams that end too soon when the last of us reaches the gates of the moon who gets fooled again

Wait 03:58
can i keep my eyes closed today cause i lost a piece of mine and i feel somehow faceless today i'm blindfolded and i need you by my side one sunny day i met an old friend so pale and thin i had to get rid of him before it gets under my skin and it paralyses me so wait a while my love down in the shade before we walk into the fields mile by mile hand in hand until the end of our time before the sunset ends i wan't to fill my bag of life everyday till someday the one eyed god may walk over our graves but for now i ask you to wait a while my love down in the shade before we walk into the fields mile by mile hand in hand until the end of our time and we step into the unseen

in his dreams his little world was on fire but he felt safe in his hide-out in the television news he found his dreams come alive the man at the look-out in his hide-out says now's the time for me i gotta get away, get away from here the rhythm of boots marching on the ground kicks a pretty hole in his pretty cloud he's gotta get away, get away from here 'cause what can you do when you're always quiet never loud when you think that you are just a face in the crowd the man at the look-out in his hide-out says now's the time for me i gotta get away, get away from here the world you know dies from the inside out the heavens gate is closed gotta get away, get away from here the man at the look-out in his hide-out is always on the run he's gotta get away, get away from here he's looking for his island in the sun the good old days are gone he's gotta get away, get away from here the man who went away is never done in silence, always gone he's gotta get away, get away from here gotta get away

'hope is a waking dream' aristotle said sailing through the waves of time 'i have to keep my eyes closed' the smart politician regrets: 'these are hard times' on the eternal chessboard young soldiers are marching on where a hundred armies have fed the ground while an army of selfie sticks is floating pretty ancient stones and the leaves of grey are sealing the stained marble plates are weaving a winding sheet when the wisdom goes to seed 'hope is a waking dream' aristotle said 'and don't forget that history repeats itself, you fools' and the leaves of grey are sealing the stained marble plates weaving a winding sheet where the wisdom goes to seed they are hiding the inscription on the philosopher's stone they are caressing the kings and queens ashes and bones and the leaves of grey are floating down to cover the remains of what we think is our eternal flame

Romancero 03:44
my inner is staring in the fireplace come around and keep me from myself i know you'll never let me down and i don't know my way around here because i wade through a surreal dream and in my head a band is playing a sweet melody you are dancing like a fairy to the sound of our destiny can you spot me in my fairytale let's walk the paths of our fate don't realize what's going around i have to reach higher ground because i wade through a surreal dream and in my head a band is playing a sweet melody you are dancing like a fairy on the carousel of our destiny

Over It 04:42
our hideaway in our favourite coastal dune is waiting lonely in the morning dew time is getting on long time no see who are we when we are fancy free when the whole world decides to battle against you and me we'll get over it, we have the clue we'll get over it, me and you when the whole world has conspired against me and you when it rains on us after travelling for hours to the sea and we look like drown cats, welcome to the beach when the bad hair days trying to grab me and you and one thing comes to another in our underuse when the whole world decides to battle against you and me we'll get over it, we have the clue we'll get over it, me and you when the whole world has conspired against me and you when we are cast away when we listen with eyes closed to our favourite tune then we'll find our footsteps in our favourite dune we'll get over it, we have the clue we'll get over it, me and you we'll find our footsteps in our favourite sand dune

how soon can you be here i'm in need of our own sphere you're in my mind the way you make me feel is like overhelming space and time with you i want to dive in this beautiful delay you've got what i need i feel your energy like an inner fire our spaceship of love flies timeless through the universe of our desire with you i want to dive in this beautiful delay i close my eyes it takes my breath away in weightlessness we are one and so we stay till it fades away with a beautiful delay let's take our spaceship right now let's dive in right now in this beautiful delay into this beautiful delay

i’m not here today i’m outside of the range of all the operating dates walking upside down caused a heavenly breakdown in the happy hunting ground we could leave at dead of night we’re just like daytime fireflies we're going higher and away we shine our light out into our days higher and away maybe we’ll be back soon but not today and if this point of view does not match the clues in the book of economic dues the world will not go insane more than it is today so are you on your way we could leave at dead of night we’re just like daytime fireflies we're going higher and away we shine our light out into our days higher and away maybe we’ll be back soon but not today

i can feel the heartbeat of the rivers song it is flowing down to places i used to know so near as if i were never gone i'm on my way home i'm on the road today i'm on my way home and the distance fades away every mile a trip down memory lane a close-up view when the sky is bright the shadows are wide and they walk with you as the one you left behind when you were gone i'm on my way home i'm on the road today i'm on my way home and the distance fades away and when i left all this i got no clue about it gone days are never gone

the crowd is asking questions time to feed the brains of fools we're on the speedway of the global news we have a serious network we run the big machines we keep you quiet with bread and games it will quench the flame isn't the weather nice today? who gets fooled again in the age of populism sweeping around the globe we are dealing with an overdose of phrases, bubbles, airholes advertisement and empty shells we guarantee your comfort zone trust us you are not alone so better stay at home who gets fooled again

about

Soap Bubble Dreams" is the debut album of indie/alternative rock duo Para Lia, who are based in Cottbus near Berlin.

"If you like your indie/alt rock served via with a loud and crunchy wall of sound, with dark, offbeat atmospheres, coolly droning, mysterious lead vocals and dreamy female harmonies, Para Lia just might be your ticket." (Jonathan Widran, The JW Vibes - Music That Sticks To My Soul)

"Hailing from Cottbus, Germany, musician René Methner revels in the rhythms and tones of ‘90s alt-rock and the synth density of ‘80s darkwave. His work is built around an honest auteur perspective as he plays all the instruments on his songs. Accompanied in voice by his wife Cindy, his work under the moniker of Para Lia is melodically distinctive and possesses a formidable musical backbone, filled with chugging riffs and roiling percussive landscapes." (Joshua Pickard, The Southern Sounding)

The ten songs on the album weave a tapestry of earthy guitars, analogue synths and a distinctive heart felt lead guitar sound that flows seamlessly from the soul to the hand. This makes 'Soap Bubble Dreams' an album filled with melodic-atmospheric, punchy distinctive sounds, in the best way retro; but with a good measure of freshness and originality.
