navigating like a paper-plane in a storm re-evaluating what it is I’m doing this for infatuated by the sense I could belong my mind is racing, is it supposed to take this long, this long? every single time I leave the hallows of my mind I make myself William Tell's apple when I look at you I see the apple in your eye reflectin' the fruit till I snap every single time I leave the hallows of my mind I make myself William Tell's apple when I look at you I see the apple in your eye reflectin' the fruit till I snap I was floatin' in a sea that is eager to devour you may say that it's so, none of the thoughts are ours I was drownin' it that lake of thoughts you may say that it's calm, I know that it's not, it's not every single time I leave the hallows of my mind I make myself William Tell's apple when I look at you I see the apple in your eye reflectin' the fruit till I snap every single time I leave the hallows of my mind I make myself William Tell's apple when I look at you I see the apple in your eye reflectin' the fruit till I snap till I snap, snap, till I snap, snap, snap

weight of your smile 03:21
lyrics

you’re standing on the beach at sunset throwing mirrors at the sea so the waves break on your reflection because they were never meant to see what happens when the lights go out when the curtain falls, when you drop your act when every single muscle in the body that you have contracts you almost break from the weight of your smile when your eyes fall out of focus when forms bend out of shape you want to hold onto your breath but you watch a sigh escape I see you hanging up empty frames keep the pictures locked away so desperately afraid that all the colours fade and you almost break from the weight of your smile you board the ships you think you should exchanging pleasantries drifting off you feel the storm, but pretend the water’s calm you board the ships you think you should you’re watching from afar you’re throwing mirrors at the sea, the waves break who you are

lighthouse 03:09

I wish I could forget so we can meet again go off the grid again timelessly, hand in hand I wish I could forget so we can love again find what we lost again why can't we just pretend? we talked for hours, got drunk off beer and wine and each other, each other this moment's ours, we lost the track of time but no bother, no bother what we're left with are the pepples of our memories the ones we throw into the sea all we're left with are the pepples of our memories aiming for the lighthouse that we never reach we travelled and spoke languages we didn't know it was so typical where did it go? the times we blew off things that would have always been important but not now now we're here, lost in space lost, lost in time lost in the few memories that I kept we cried and we laughed and we were smokin' together, together no clue how long it would last but I was hopin' forever, forever what we're left with are the pepples of our memories the ones we throw into the sea all we're left with are the pepples of our memories aiming for the lighthouse that we never reach

you think you're so unpredictable, boy but I'm always one step ahead chapter one I enjoy to be around you I love your language and I like it's sound, too I embrace the air you breathe in I share the truth that you believe in chapter four we're burning out further and further and further and further I'm sick of the topics you talk about further and further and further and further I roll my eyes, your sighs annoy me the points you make destroy me you draw blood, I draw a gun chapter five I'm on the run

about

MIRAC is no stranger within the local music scene. He has long released four rap albums on Viennese independent label Duzz Down San and even reached international acclaim with his viral hit "Alaba". After shifting his focus towards producing, MIRAC received a ticket to the 2016 Red Bull Music Academy held in Montreal, where he was able to expand his skills and share knowledge with international artists. His Falco-Remix "Nie mehr Schule" with DJ RayRay (Taiwan) reached over 250,000 clicks. On his return to Austria, MIRAC performed his instrumental EP "Wavetable Manners" at Vienna's Popfest. 2017 brought along another milestone beyond the genre of hip hop, as he won the Austrian Film Award for best sound design.

Collaborating with FACES spans a new chapter, in which lyricism wanders through picturesque backdrops on an autobiographical path. The unique bond between the two artists brings forth the freedom FACES needs to tell her story. She decides to accept her bipolar disorder as a part of her personality. Instead of taking medication, dealing with it becomes part of her creative process. While the lyrics provided by SELBSTLAUT seem to be brushed into the sky like captivating frescoes, FACES builds up walls with words to frame her peace of mind.

AHEAD features five future bass tracks which additionally are dedicated to the time to come. Between the promise of mischief glistens a fleetingly hope that - as in FACES phases - awaits her after the darkness.
