Blind Me

See me as I am
Tell me what's on the outside
Hear me if you can
I'm sorry, your silence is not helping me
Show me what is real
Blind me so I sense clearly
Forgive me, but what I feel
is slowly preparing us to fall from grace
I'll find symmetry
My mind's seeking asylum
I'll try to shake off their pleas
In time I'll find a way to stay awake

Busy Being Somebody Else
05:28

Shine!!! I wake up to the light but I'm still dreaming
Because for all we know
we are on our own
Days pass by and leave us behind there's no time to blink our eyes
But we're not playing games
to be entertained
Count me in, in every way
I'll sit down another day
I don't want to be denied by the public eye
Despite we conseal we can't see where we're going we're so alone
We'll find what we need if we learn not to follow
God is still himself
or do you think he's busy being somebody else?
Fine!!! I will fall in line! You'll get my voice but not my mind
And if I go against the grain
I've been told there will be hell to pay
They'll crown me if I'd die today
They will crucify me anyway.
We all need someone else to blame
To me it's all the same

Out of Reach
06:00
|
|||

Grey, an unnoticed color, hard to discover
Dust covered white, everything's so clear
I, I'm still a stranger who looks for the danger
of staying behind and disappear
When tomorrow is over, look over your shoulder
Snow covered black, this is so surreal
I, I feel disconnected, ignored and rejected
the air takes a hold of my screams
You're not alone, I came home
to this silence that I fought on my own
but I have learned to look colder
I need to sleep and so does she
I don’t know what you have given to me
but I have never felt so out of reach
Once I have discovered it’s hard to recover
don't bring me down, I have more to give
Me and my suspicions, my fears, my ambitions
Keep you from taking my place

Virtue vs vice
Why won't you roll the dice?
Both available
I'll let you know my price
A dollar for a sin
That's hiding deep within
I see them through your skin
They're making you feel alive
Just like we have agreed I'll bring you what you need
The prey is screaming for the predators attention
White lights are claiming my eyes from below
When angels refuse to fly
Looking back I know it began long ago
Can't you see how sorry I am?
I guess I never knew
What we're supposed to do
Searching high and low Looking for the truth
We're moving underground
Systems are shutting down
But we are just too proud to ease the pain
He's laughing during my confession
Father John, please stop mocking me
No reason for his discretion
I'll do my time in solitary
The more we give and take the more we break away from the norm
We're sick of dressing up, wake up! Don't give a fuck anymore
The more we see the more we want the less we get of the ground
If this is progress we have passed the test.
On to the next round!

I Lost Myself Today
04:31
|
|||
|
I lost myself today
but I've tried to go the other way
I will find someone to blame
I never thought I would be back again
But do you want me here?
Now I know where to go
I don't want to show you all I know
So I'd rather go alone
The less I feel, the more I'm on my own
So please stop calling me
Why won't you let me be?
Oh God, I need to breath...
I lost myself today
but I've tried so hard to stay the same
There's still so much to say
But don't wait for me, I'm still too far away

Keep Breathing
01:54

Do you feel it too?
Please be silent when we run away
We'll cross the line
Keep breathing...

Down On My Knees
09:03
|
|||
|
The only sign of life
is hiding on the other side
Maybe I'm too blind
to see my enemies looking out for me.
Today I'll play their game
and settle the score in many ways.
This overpriced champagne
will fool them easily I'll raise my glass for all to see.
Tell me when you're ready to make a deal
Maybe everybody has given up on me
Face me when you're making me take the heat
Or can't you see me when I am down on my knees?
It's time to spin the wheel
and see what's gonna be revealed
But maybe all I need
is to feel my enemies closing up on me
All this time I looked up to you
I know you saw it too
Something broke down I don't know how
Somehow I thought we were the same
I guess I was afraid inside

No one would sell me the answers that I need
Their eyes were watching me
Claim what is yours but don't take what is meant for me
Give in and let me breathe
I don't know how you knew to filter me from your gaze
Suddenly you could see everything I embrace
You made me lose my ambitions I was blind. You let me fall behind
Gasping for air I made a promise I would keep fuck your apologies
Now you know how I knew there's nothing here to replace
Finally you will see everything I've erased

Tired and Ashamed
05:26
|
|||
|
No child with an open mind should feel the burden on his shoulders
while we buy ourselves another day
He's been told not to be afraid and stares into the eyes of a stranger
while his parents start to beg and pray
And in reverse He's feeling worse...
No man should ever have to hide but in the end it's what he believes in
He's so close he can't see where he is
Disappear into slavery. Be blind, bow down, keep quiet and be happy
It's better to accept than to resist
Why do I try to cross the line and ignore the signs?
Another dream, or so it seems, is taking over me
And I might find a way to clear my mind on the other side
but again I look down and walk away tired and ashamed
He should have been in paradise. With every breath he's wearing himself down He's still hoping but he lost his smile
Although he never learned to cry his eyes are burning, red, wet and swollen Despite the shame he's feeling so alive
Fight your way through history
Guide me to what you wanted me to see
But hide these empty memories
Time will clean up after me

Open Your Eyes
05:25
|
|||
|
Open your eyes and see what you've been missing
You don't have to hide away
You don't have to play this game no more
Just try to smile and start reminiscing
Thoughts pass by as they decay
Don't reach out, let them escape
There are other ways to slow them down
You've been all I had for years
Locked up here with me
Will you still control my fears
Now I'm back on the streets?
Wake up, you've been disconnected
Leave now before the walls come down
Live, learn, feel whole again
There's nothing more we can say
Get up and run but then again
There's no one to show us the way to where we fell out of place...
Now there's so much more to lose
But I'm better off this way
Still they're scanning every move
while following my trail
Wake up, you have been selected
Stand up before we all fall down
So I lost myself today
You know I've tried to go the other way
It's always the same mistake
that's wearing me out and lets me take the blame
Over and over again, again...

Nothing More
04:09
|
|||
|
Now I'm beyond the mourning of our fathers
I know why this silence seems so loud
In time the ground we walked will hide our footprints
Drawn by the burden of this crowd
No trace inside of me we need to keep
Erase all the fears of who we are
Enslaved by the thirst for knowledge thirst for power
Replace me but keep me safe from harm
Nothing more for me to say coz all I do is pray
Nothing more for me to give but I'm willing to forgive
Nothing more for me to see since you've blinded me
Nothing more for me to feel or to believe...

For All We Know NB, Netherlands
For All We Know is a project by Within Temptation guitarist Ruud Jolie. He has recorded a lot of songs and albums with other artists, but the urge to write and record his own material has always been present.
If you like For All We Know, you may also like:
supported by 10 fans who also own “For All We Know”
When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-)

Last Watch of the Nightingale
by Odd Logic
supported by 8 fans who also own “For All We Know”
They did it again! Yet another solid record from Odd Logic. The music goes along very well with the moods and theme of the album. The instrumental sections here might be the best out of all their albums. There's a lot more to say but let's keep it short and try it yourself! Recommend for any prog rock and metal fans.

The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP.

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-)
