about

'We Failed' is a song about the Lost Generation (X) and the new, emerging lost generations (Y, Z) right now. We wrote the song during the economic crisis of 2014 (but the release with music video and single/album on Spotify will be in 2025, as part of a 'lost-tracks' album).

lyrics

We Failed :

Once we thought this world was ours
We failed, we failed
Thought that we would find our place
We failed, we failed
No place to find
we’re wandering
everything’s occupied here
even the words are
they’ve lost their meaning
even the music is deaf
we don’t care
we don’t care
We are surrounded by noise
and hear nothing else now
searching for silence here
but that’s so far away
we came here for silence
came here for silence
this era makes people insane
we are the workers
for 24 hours
even when we’re asleep
when we dance
when we kiss
we will generate money, always.
