about

Collateral is a song about our generation, the idea that there is no place or time, just being; a generation living a life with casualties. These thoughts are expressed with an upbeat rhythm, as well as an uplifting tempo in contrast to the lyrics. Leaping from musical to tragedy, the stigma of mental distress and the culture of perpetual, sometimes even ‘’toxic’’ positivity and the denial of negative thoughts or emotions, is a theme of the song. The unreal and unmet expectations of a generation during the decade of the economic crisis, living a post-traumatic, as well as a pro-traumatic era, still recovering from a national trauma and at the same time adjusting to a new global trauma. However, such circumstances can often lead to resilient bloom and growth.

lyrics

We are your casual superheroes,
Hidden identity behind dark glasses,
Here is my eternity, in a blink of your eyelashes,
We dance some musical on our way to work,
Every night we survive the end of the world
We are the shadow and the coal, remains of a day fast as a bullet
before the moon backlashes
We are the shore and the core,
The Rapid Eye Movement and the Dream within
This life has a party theme
Count your blessings in disguise
You are going to Paradise_
We are the love pilgrims and the immigrants of soul,
Time victims and commuters of the sun| born on a raincheck
Our lives in cheap polaroids and sensitive androids,
Always derailed and disarmed, chasing the sunset
It was supposed to be fun| Always charmed_
Where is your crown and your thorn?
Perform a miracle before you’re born,
Show proof of life and a fake knife
Your collateral Youth| Truth_
If not us, then who| If not now, then when
Always coming from you, always surviving without
In the blindspot again| We dream in parallels| It’s in our cells_
