No trees No sunrise No colors No one to talk to The Gravity Is far away She’ll always be In my dreams I have to seek Our new home They have sent me For humanity No colors No one to talk to No trees No sunrise Caught in a steel cage Out in the cold Arrived at my final destination (This world, aha, will never be...) With wrong coordinates There‘s no one out there No one to talk to I‘m caught in a steel cage Out in the cold In my dream

We‘re so tired Of this place So many blue balls We can find them in space Between a billion stars Billions of stars Carry us away From ourselves Billions of stars Carry us away from here Prepare the beds And lull us to sleep Billions Of stars Carry us away

Count the days With no daylight Hover around Seeing dust and ice Recording my last tape If not found in space But then it seems to stop The lights are getting swallowed The time is standing still Send your record The last thing That you see See the light Know your frequence Growing power Of a... Circles of ice Circles of stars and light Center of the dark Where everything must end In endless times Yellow black and blue Purple pink and you Stars that expect Nothing new Orange green and white Darkness and pure light Last station Of an endless night Circulos de hielo Circulos de estrellas y luz Centro de la sombra Donde todo termina

City lights Fade away As we go higher Up to the sky Afraid of the past Afraid of the things That will come along With a new world On an unknown planet Been sick of the past Been sick of the things Which constitute Our old lives On mother earth We are safe Protected by emptiness Race through the open space Surrounded by darkness

You‘re obsessed with death (Oho nothing will ever...) It will take you on a quest To your deepest self Your shitty brain Misread the sign That we‘ll never be Drinkin’ wine Under the sky With a handsome guy It‘ll be a try Kiss me goodbye I carried the weight For so long I almost get Eaten by a glacier Once i realized This is not a metaphor I decided Not to be your companion anymore You‘re obsessed with death (Oho nothing will ever...) It will take you on a quest To your deepest self Father‘s gonna hurt you Mother‘s gonna bless you There seems to be no Way out There seems to be no Way out of your brain I remember the things That will tear us apart I remember the things That will glue us together

about

Even though 21st century has just begun, mankind is facing a tremendous odyssey. For no one can really foresee how future fundamental technological upheavals will affect the lives of individuals. The earth, at any rate, is making us as a community increasingly aware of the ongoing plundering of its resources in the form of natural disasters that are no longer tearing down.

Surrounded by constant digital noise, the way we live together is also changing significantly. Although digitalization practically enables us to exchange information on a permanent basis, paradoxically this development tends to lead to isolation. Basically, everyone is sitting on their own in a small space capsule on a mission to unknown stars and, in the remoteness of space, is defencelessly at the mercy of their thoughts and questions about their own relevance.

With their new album „Spectra“, Flares try to capture this theme of confrontation and base the structure of the album on the seven spectral classes, i.e. the visual classification of stars. On this occasion, it seemed appropriate for the band to go back to their early days, when it was still necessary to decide in which direction to steer or whether the music should be based on any parameters at all.

On „Spectra“, the band uses mostly their very first riffs and sketches, which were written before their first EP „Levitation“ from 2008, and underlayed the now for the first time formulated songs completely with vocals.
