about
LEFKADA’S debut single, ‘Dead Lines’ is a powerful song written as a sonic representation of the derailing and debilitating nature of chronic stress and anxiety. The pulsating movement of the song symbolises the never-ending pressures of modern society; ones that can, if left unmanaged, lead to an individual’s mental collapse.
lyrics
As I lie in bed at 7.15
Worried about minutes I wasn’t awake to see
I stare at the ceiling
That stares right back at me
I force myself to leave this haven
Wasn’t aware of how much I’d been craving
Some time in the darkness
To have some time to breathe
And I wish I could stop and stay
In this moment before it fades away
Time keeps holding me back
I keep fallin’, fallin’, fallin’
Falling through the lines and off track
Falling through the lines and off track
Falling through the lines and off track
Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ out of time and off track
The day just runs but never hides
I try to catch up (catch up) but it still
drives me insane
And I just can’t win this game
Time keeps pressing down on me
I’m tightly chained to an evermoving train
And I can’t be free
“Cause this enemy’s the death of me
And I wish I could stop and stay
In this moment before it fades away
Time keeps holding me back
I keep fallin’, fallin’, fallin’
Falling through the lines and off track
Falling through the lines and off track
Falling through the lines and off track
Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ out of time and off track
Falling through the lines and off track (Headlights; lightning)
Falling through the lines and off track (Future crushing)
Falling through the lines and off track (Reckless mercy)
Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ out of time and off track
And I wish that I could stop and stay
I wish that I could stop myself from falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling through the lines and off track (Headlights; lightning)
Falling through the lines and off track (Future crushing)
Falling through the lines and off track (Reckless mercy)
Runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ out of time and off track (Dead lines everlasting)
