After his first EP “Strong” released late in 2021, the bassist is now back with another EP named “What we could have been”. Initially planned as a band breakup concept for the first EP, “What we could have been” now comes with themes about overcoming band or life obstacles, challenges, and hard times.
The new EP contains six dynamic and straightforward guitar and bass-driven alternative rock and metal compositions. Groovy and slightly aggressive riffs keep the album alive, with a more balanced and clearer sound. The new songs give the impression of being a bit faster than on the previous EP, and with another singer, there are more energetic, hysterical, and screaming vocal parts. Again, there are no soft tracks; only heavy riffs drive the album.

1.	Trivial Fantasy 04:11	lyrics	buy track
You’d love to get attention Be the one they talk about They scream and shout Stage lights They’re shining on your ego while blinding modesty All sweat and tears but not yours were shed to fight our wars Not yours Not yours Nothing more than a burden to us, no! Fuck off! You’ll never get attention Your dreams will die with you With you We’re striving for perfection You’re busy making up excuses So useless Time will tell where all your delusions will take you You’re stuck between your childhood dreams and who you’re supposed to be Lost the flame to go on, the will to change Trivial fantasy Dreams You’ll never get attention Your dreams will die with you Too late, you chose your fate Dreams will stay what they are You’re stuck between your childhood dreams and who you’re supposed to be Lost the flame to go on, the will to change Trivial fantasy Wasted your life on showing off You’ll have to pay the price What’s left’s too short for payoff You’ll suffer Stuck between your childhood dreams and who you’re supposed to be Lost the flame to go on, the will to change They’re trivial fantasy No one’s to blame, take your chance

What if I had just one more word to say What if I could get just one more chance I would go outside and scream as loud as I can What if I had just one more word to say By the end of the day I’ll be gone away By the end of the day I'll be just a memory By the end of the day I’ll be gone away By the end of this day Of this day What if I had a second chance to try it all again What if I could make it all dissapear I would not change a damn thing I would screw them all over once again By the end of the day I’ll be gone away By the end of the day I'll be just a memory What can I say, in the end of the day the things I did will be forgotten Why not throw it away What can I say, in the end of the day the things I did will be forgotten Why not throw it away What can I say, in the end of the day the things I did will be remembered by the kids from today By the kids from today By the kids from today
3.	What we could have been 04:06	lyrics	buy track
There were moments we would share together Moments of joy, moments of sadness We had them all But then we ended all those lost years But then we ended all those years gone Imagine what we could have been if we kept on moving There would be no pretending, we would rule our world But our words lacked the strength to keep going on Struggling against and questioning ourselves And we gave up, we were the weavers of our fate We were the weavers of our fate Imagine what we could have been if we kept on moving There would be no pretending, we would rule our world We would rule our world Imagine what we could have been if we kept on moving There would be no pretending, we would rule our world What we could have been if we kept on moving There would be no pretending, we would rule our world Rule our world
4.	Straight Ahead 03:50 video	lyrics
So you started from nowhere, down there But always focused on the light at the end of the tunnel And now you're ready for your journey, one direction reaching high Keep the spirit alive, always reaching for the sky Keep moving straight ahead and you know you won’t fall deep Keep moving straight ahead and you know you won’t lose track Keep moving straight ahead and you know you will find what you seek Keep moving straight ahead and you know you will reach your dreams Focus and never look back, don't let your plans fall into pieces And you will discover the path to satisfaction Hold your head up high, don't let go of your destiny In your perfect world, there will be no limits Keep moving straight ahead and you know you won’t fall deep Keep moving straight ahead and you know you won’t lose track Keep moving straight ahead and you know you will find what you seek Keep moving straight ahead and you know you will reach your dreams Keep moving straight ahead Keep moving straight ahead Keep moving straight ahead Keep moving straight ahead Keep moving straight ahead Keep moving straight ahead
5.	Care 03:32 video	lyrics	buy track
I’ve got desire to live Don’t try to take that away Apologize for my acts? No, everything feels alright! I live this way on my own You want me back on the track It seems you're wasting your time YOU MAKE ME SICK I don’t care, this is who I am there’s nothing more that you can do Pathetic in my own way? Don’t need your bullshit today Failed all my dreams, cut my ties Not one thing to compromise No matter what`s wrong or right You can’t stop my inner child There’s no need for me to hide YOU MAKE ME SICK I don’t care, this is who I am there’s nothing more that you can do It's gone beyond what you can help me through It's gone beyond what you can help me through It's gone beyond what you can help me through YOU MAKE ME SICK YOU MAKE ME SICK YOU MAKE ME SICK
6.	Don´t look back 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Tattered and torn They tried to take you down All your hope is gone your past life was so wrong And you can’t forget all the love you never got Hear the voice from deep inside Nowhere to go / Nowhere to hide Don’t look back I’ve felt the hate rise up in my shell Don’t look back I have to laugh, my will is still strong All hopes blown away Pain from day to day You have reached the end No one here to understand All your worlds collide never seen a brighter light You can't put your rage aside Nowhere to go / Nowhere to hide Don’t look back I’ve felt the hate rise up in my shell Don’t look back I have to laugh, my will is still strong Strong Strong The mirror shows your scars reflects your buried past You try to keep your faith but can't escape this place All you can do is stare but in the end, you don't care There is no more pride Nowhere to go / Nowhere to hide No matter how hard, don't give up the fight Don't look back There's only one way Nowhere to go / Nowhere to hide Don’t look back I’ve felt the hate rise up in my shell Don’t look back I have to laugh, my will is still strong Strong Strong Strong Strong Strong Strong
