Butterflies 05:52
Wherever I go, whenever I dream You are the muse of my dreams There are many dangers, many lonely roads But I still believe because you’re my hope We are like Butterflies We try to live our fragile lives But I believe and I calm down ‘Cause somewhere exists a place where we are free

Stand and destroy your fear and darkness Look at the ashes that you left behind Breathe, can you feel the savour of your wrath? Raise your head to the horizon Your glory Can you see bright bright flash? Go! Out of shade to the light and feel The endless power that’s inside OF you Endless desire that you have WITHIN Your glory Something will change the world you live in Someday you will feel the presence I’ve seen it shining You know you are on your own Put up a fight, don’t let them brake you Run, take your chance And create a brave new day Walk through the fields of desolation And leave it all behind Watch as the sun is rising From the dust of an innocence And seize the fragile hope Something will change the world you live in Someday you will feel the presence I’ve seen it shining You know you are on your own Put up a fight, don’t let them brake you Run, take your chance And create a brave new day

Judgement 04:20
Did you equip me with all this fear and strangeness? Do you feel happy when you see blood on my hands? Can you still live in this false sweet elevation? Do you believe in the perfect creation? Throw me in the fire Bring me back to my soul again Fight for idealism Die as incomplete one Are we still standing on the same side of barricade? We don’t have weapons but we cut like a major blaze Who is attacking and who is the helpless lamb? Who can still judge and who can kill in the modern way? Throw me in the fire Bring me back to my soul again Fight for idealism Die as incomplete one Throw me in the fire Bring me back to my soul again Fight for idealism Die as incomplete one

Vincent 09:05
Come little closer let me tell you a story About the man who lost all of his glory He once was a boy different than others Living his life in a cage of his mind When the night was closing its curtains He dreamt of creatures spiders and monsters Cracking walls of reality By his soul he painted pictures of life From the within I’m feeling something strange is calling Is it you or me you better run And when the day is dawning I hear my fears are coming They are behind a corner chasing me Once his mother told him go outside to the world These games that you play are just in your head! But he couldn’t say a word silence tangled him again The soul from out that shadow shall be lifted nevermore From the within I’m feeling something strange is calling Is it you or me you better run And when the day is dawning I hear my fears are coming They are behind a corner chasing me Hey everybody look at me now Shut your mouths and hear what I’m saying I’m here alone nobody can see me I’m king of the world and you’re just a cattle I’ll dance to the end of the world that you know I’ll stand and smile watching you burn Insanity reached its highest peak Look at you now you gonna die!

Moonlight 04:55
Silent whisper waking me up Cold destiny’s hand touching my face Drowning in my head forgetting how it is to live Days are passing flowers are wilting Her presence seems to last I can almost touch it Now I close my temple empty like never before I was fooling myself That she’ll come back to me With the moonlight But she’s gone I’ve heard that voice before It used to take away all the pain Watching her dance so delicate in front of me The echo of her laugh still in back of my head My ship is coming in right to the nowhere And I’m staring straight into the shining sun I was fooling myself That she’ll come back to me With the moonlight But she’s gone Shouting deep inside Standing in the rain I’ve buried you In my dreams In every place in every moment I see you I feel you Wherever I am, wherever I’ll be It’ll never go away

Jesień 04:28
Pod drzwiami rano ktoś zostawił list Opisał wszystko to, co dolega mi Złapany w sieć swych własnych kłamstw i win Tonę w morzu, a na brzegu Ty Jesień przyszła rano dziś, okryła liśćmi moje sny A ja biegnę wciąż, w ramiona swoich żądz Jesień przyszła rano dziś, okryła liśćmi moje sny A ja biegnę wciąż, w ramiona swoich żądz Szukając prawd nietrwałych jak jesienny wiatr Zabrnąłem w to, przed czym ostrzegał mnie świat Cel okazał się mniej wart, niż cały ten bieg Chciałbym uciec ale nie, nie poddam się Jesień przyszła rano dziś, okryła liśćmi moje sny A ja biegnę wciąż, w ramiona swoich żądz Jesień przyszła rano dziś, okryła liśćmi moje sny A ja biegnę wciąż, w ramiona swoich żądz

about

Band's first promotional EP, recorded, mixed and mastered in a home studio. Self-published.

Butterflies marks the band's endavour into mixing memorable lyrics and melodies with more expansive compositions. As a result Dream Atlas recorded 6 tracks very different from one another, bonded together by the band's sound.

The EP starts with eponymous 'Butterflies', a catchy two tone song with a more eerie verse changing into an open chorus. The song build into a full blown, ambient guitar solo and ends in heavy, half-time chorus. The lyrics talk about freedom of music.

'Brave New Day' is a representation of the band's experimentation with styles - written in the rhythm of a tango with a somewhat familiar, classical riff, the song suddenly changes into samba style breakdown.

'Judgement', the third song on the EP, makes a complete shift in atmosphere, with it's ambient, eerie sound, slow pace and echoing vocals.

'Vincent' is the longest track on the album. Written in style of a suite it chages it's tone twice, shifting form a steady, heavy sound to an disturbing waltz after which it switches to a fast, heavy motif that ends with a return to the steady sound of the 1st part of the song. The lyrics tell you a story of a man that has lost himself in his delusions and dreams, unable to live in the real world which reminds him of nightmares. He retreats into his fantasies, where he is finally at peace.

'Moonlight', the only ballad on the album, tells you a story of an unrequitted love. The person singing dreams of the one he loves, unable to let go - finally he comes to peace with the fact, that he will remember her forever. The song starts with a quiet acoustic intro, building into a have, slow pace ballad.

'Jesień' is a song written in Polish, that literally translates into 'Autumn' - it is a metapthorical poem about change of seasons, one's anxieties and lusts.
