Soundtrack 01:38
We wrote these songs to Get into your head You’ll whistle this melody While you are walking down the street We wanna be the soundtrack of your new rebirth The sound of a real change Chorus: They won’t see us falling We’ll never die Cause we are made to be free We won’t give up They won’t see us falling We’ll never die Cause we were born free Insecurities don’t let you see That you are huge and life is great face your fears push your limits there's no place for doubts Chorus again. They’ll never keep us down (x4) They’ll never keep us down! "the aim of this lyric is to introduce all the songs in the album. I mean, even though we talk about different topics in every song, we would like to be a useful support to everyone who is fighting against social injustices or inner suffering" "el propósito de esta letra es el de introducir todas las canciones del album. Aunque tocamos varios temas en cada letra, nos gustaría servir como apoyo a todo aquel/aquella que se encuentra luchando contra injusticias sociales o que trata de liberarse de sus propias ataduras personales"

Glory Day 02:38
I heard your words before Complaining about everything you see Or anyone who comes up in our scene You’re wasting the gold days Letting your own arrogance and hate Not enjoy what you love Chorus: Time slips away Like sand through our fingers I guess you forgot What Side By Side said in their song Older but not old That was our commitment Why can’t you see The glory days are here to stay Now, everything has changed But I can see the same old energy Hidden between fashion and shit Stuck, always in the past It isn’t worth, my friend We miss you here That bound would never break Chorus again. This is our glory day (x4) GLORY DAY! "The glory days of stage dives and high fives are here to stay. Stop looking back to the past. Stop thinking about the 80's or 90's as if those years were the only ones where punk or hardcore was real. It's sad to see how, as we get older and time goes by, many kids only focus on the negative side of everything done in the hardcore/punk scene, spending their time critizing, complaining and destroying what others make with effort. Of course there is lot of shit in this like stereotyped behaviors, dress codes, gossip and rumours..., but there is still so many good things behind all that crap. Remember what Side By Side told us "Never too young, never too old, to stand fucking hard" "Los días de gloria están aquí. Dejemos de mirar hacia el pasado como si solo los 80s o 90s fueran los únicos en los que el punk o el hardcore merecían la pena. Es una mentira absoluta creer que cualquier tiempo pasado fue mejor. Nos entristece ver cada vez a más amigos focalizan su atención en el lado negativo de nuestra escena. Está claro que hay mucha mierda como las actitudes estereotipadas, la moda, cotilleos, rumores,... pero siguen existiendo demasiadas cosas buenas. Recuerda lo que nos decía la banda Side By Side "Nunca demasiado joven, nunca demasiado viejo, mantente fuerte"

The Cure 02:40
So here I’am I’m sad again I’m feeling tired and desperate I know the cure and what to do When things get worse I call my friends This is the grave for my frustrations A hardcore show as medication I wonder what I could have done instead If I never met rebelliousness I feel this shit saved my life My way to be free and do it on my own Chorus: This is the life I chose to live Another state of mind to face My problems and defeats I can fight my demons Together WITH MY FRIENDS This is my choice, this is my life I carry those values in my heart I’ll be forever punk So stay away from me! Inside this crowd is where I feel good Where I can learn and speak my mind Nothing to prove and nothing to lose I get the strength to face this world This is the grave for my frustrations A hardcore show as medication I wonder what I could have done instead If I never met rebelliousness I feel this shit saved my life My way to be free and do it on my own Chorus again. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "hardcore punk made a huge impact in my life. Not even the school or the college could give me so much. The values we learnt in the hardcore scene, the rebel spirit, the urge to shout to the conventional world "fuck you!" let me start building the self-confidence we all need to think by ourselves and fight against every difficult we find in our way to freedom. This is more than a shelter or a lifestyle. This is a state of mind to live permanently young and rebel. Hardcore punk saved my life" "el hardcore y el punk supusieron un gran impacto en mi vida. Ni si quiera el colegio o la universidad pudieron darme tanto. Todos los valores que aprendimos en la escena, el espíritu de rebeldía, la necesidad de gritarle al mundo convencional "¡qué os den por el culo hijos de puta!" me permitieron empezar a creer en mí mismo, construir mi propio pensamiento y luchar contra aquellas dificultades que todxs encontramos en nuestro camino hacia la libertad. Esto es más que un refugio o un estilo de vida. Es un estado mental para vivir permanentemente joven y rebelde. El hardcore punk salvó mi vida"
5.
My Board 02:12
Please hear me now I want I want to tell you something this is my love story between my board and myself Chorus: We wake the sun up almost every morning together on the shore waiting for the swell to come You have dried my tears, you gave me my best friends A pair of rubber fins just you my mates and good waves And good waves! my board under my arm I am unbreakable the only drug I need when I feel DOWN AND OUT! Chorus again. when the good days are coming or when they all are gone together with my best friends or when I am alone when the good waves are coming or when they all are gone my heart beats for my lover my heart beats for my board For my board (x3) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "this one is about bodyboarding, but could have been about skating or surfing or bmx or whatever make us to share adrenaline in the company of our friends" "esta canción trata sobre bodyboard, pero podría haber tratado perfectamente sobre skate, surf, bmx o cualquiera de esos deportes que nos hacen compartir adrenalina con nuestros amigos"

December 4th 02:50
December fourth Was a day we won't forget The same spirit raised against the oppression based in their lies this shiny day our people took the streets again reclaiming freedom, land and peace like we did too many times Under the sun of our old land there's a people who always laugh We’ve been conquered, subjugated Can you hear it? We’ve been controlled and put down - we never ceased to laugh Under control and dominated can you see it? we wanna see our dignity restored Still asking for freedom Still asking for land we'll keep on fighting - we'll never cease to laugh TO LAUGH! Thousands of years of history Through the Ocean and the Sea From the desert to the fields Tartessic roots, African taste We just wanna see our dignity restored. under the sun of our old land there's a people who always laugh a spirit that remains WE’RE STILL HERE We’ll keep on fighting WE’RE STILL HERE Break! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "In december 4th of 1977 the people from Andalusia (South of the Spanish State) performed a big protest reclaiming more autonomy.That day the Spanish guard killed a man while he tried to hang an Andalusian flag in the Malaga city council. As Andalusians, we've seen how our culture, language and identity has been mistreated, ridiculed and denied since centuries, especially by the Spanish nationalism. Nevertheless, even oppressed, our people never forgot about laughing or spreading its particular optimistic way of living. We just want to show respect to our sociocultural identity and put it in the place it deserves" "El 4 de Diciembre de 1977 el pueblo andaluz salió al a calle para reclamar más autonomía. Ese día la policía armada española disparó y mató a un sindicalista malagueño mientras trataba de colgar una bandera andaluza. Como andaluces, hemos visto como nuestra cultura, nuestro lengua y nuestra identidad ha sido maltratada, ridiculizada y negada desde hace siglos, especialmente por el nacionalismo español. No obstante, incluso oprimido, el pueblo andaluz nunca ha dejado de sonreir y de exportar su particular modo de vida optimista. Con esta canción solo queremos rendir tributo a nuestra indentidad socioculturar -que no nación, ya que no creemos en ninguna- y poner al pueblo andaluz en el sitio que se merece: ni arriba ni abajo de ningún otro pueblo"

Statement 01:18
People are asking me why Cause I use these values as my guide This is our fucking way, we got a focused mind We just want to get the most We just want to get the most from life This is our fucking way, it seems you don’t understand Not trying to save the world Just trying to do our part (x2) Did you realize it was The First Step? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "The lyric of this song was partially took from the song 'Time To Understand' by the band The First Step" "Esta canción fue casi totalmente tomada de la canción 'Time To Understand' de la banda The First Step"

I can’t handle it this time It is growing more and more I can’t stop thinking about this ‘bout all my mistakes “hello anxiety, welcome on board, I know you’re here to ruin my life?” Chorus: Suffocated again Oh! I had enough this life is pain Suffocated again I can’t get it off my chest I’m falling down I became a punisher of myself wasting hours, wasting days that’s my mistake a war in my head I can’t even breath my heart is beating more and more Chorus again. Now that I look back I can see myself Wasting too much time, I’m down and out again But this life is too short When problems come, there’s always a way out (x4) “Don’t let fear, rule your mind” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Spending time anticipating problems that probably never come is a common disfuncional behaviour we need to modify. When anxiety or fear rule our minds, our dreams are over" "Malgastar el tiempo anticipando problemas que probablemente nunca lleguen es una práctica disfuncional que necesitamos cambiar. Cuando la ansiedad o el miedo dominan nuestras mentes, nuestros sueños están acabados"

I woke up today Feeling something There’s no word to name it it came to my mind and made me understand Understand we gotta thrive Understand we gotta grow It’s time to go confidently To our dreams Chorus: Let’s live the life we use to imagine – we cannot let dreams go Breaking the stats - It’s time to live our endless summer life Driving back home Listening to Cro-Mags The Age of Quarrel Was sounding in the van No barrier to wear us down There’s no limit we can see It’s time to go confidently To our dreams Chorus again. This time I swear I will not quit It’s not a question of trying or not It’s one for all, and all for one We gotta live our endless summer life An endless summer life (x2) An endless summer. Chorus again. This time I swear I will not quit It’s not a question of trying or not It’s one for all, and all for one We gotta live our endless summer life An endless summer life (x2) “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” (Henry David Thoreau) "Ve con confianza en dirección a tus sueños. Vive la vida que has imaginado" (Henry David Thoreau)
11.
I got no job I took the dole money In days like this I’ve got one thing in my mind I’m gonna make an invert air and land an A.R.S. Nothing to worry about I love my life right now Chorus: Here come the waves A south west swell Another day of five feet and offshore! Today is totally On my way With my mates and five feet and offshore! FIVE FEET OFFSHORE I’m feeling great It’s Monday morning Picked my friends up The spot is pumping well Barrels breaking like Backdoor East wind blowing in my face Now is when I feel I need no fucking more! Chorus again. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Another song about bodyboarding in the sunny winter of the Atlantic coast of Andalusia. Sometimes, being an unemployed with some dole money could be a great chance to enjoy this life!" "Otra canción sobre practicar bodyboard en el soleado invierno de la costa atlántica de Andalucía. A veces, ser un desempleado con un poco de dinero del paro puede ser una gran oportunidad de disfrutar esta vida!"

The Big Lie 03:10
Yesterday I was staring at the south Trying to understand what is dividing us Walking down the beach watch the other shore I couldn’t see that line; just could see a big lie Another shipwreck happened Victims of so-called progress They were just looking for a better future here Don’t tell me about justice While you’re defending nation-states It’s time to take a stand and fight what’s really unfair Let’s make this world a better place to live Chorus: A place where we can do whatever we want to Fighting together to make our dreams true A place for human beings, with no nation-states Evolving together fighting against greed This is the biggest lie That we’ve been forced to believe To save the upper class, to make the richest win Here is their biggest crime Borders and customs on the maps How could we believe in such big tyranny? Let’s make this world a better place to dream Chorus again. I won’t wave your fucking flag I’ll never take part of your national pride Let’s erase those borders that separate us Never pledge alliance to nations and flags We’ll never see freedom While borders exist You riches, you patriots You have to understand: My nation’s the planet My country’s the Earth My land’s under my feet I won’t wave your flag Chorus again. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Living between Euorpe and Africa makes you realise how cinic and hypocrite could be the human being. Borders are all artifitial and are all responsible of thousand of murders of men, women and kids in our coasts. Social justice and equallity will never come while nations and countries exist. Nation-States have to be destroyed -no matter the way we use- if we want to see a better world for human and no human animals" "El hecho de vivir entre Europa y África te hace ver cómo de cínico o hipócrita puede llegar a ser el ser humano. Las fronteras son todas artificiales y son las responsables de miles de asesinatos de hombre, mujeres y niños en nuestas costas. La justicia social y la igualdad nunca serán posible mientras existan naciones y países. Las naciones-estados deben ser destruídas -da igual el método que se utilice para ello- si queremos ver un mundo mejor"

Sometimes we feel this world’s so cruel and it’s too hard to take control We need to stop to realize we are not really alone in this life you and me, together in this fight, we’ll solve whatever comes we’ll overcome the walls, BREAK DOWN THE WALLS! “If we all unite, there’s nothing they can do” I know maybe we’ll never change this world At least I fucking tried that’s what we all can say With hope, FEARLESS, facing reality We improve, think and create, design our destiny If you are feeling weak… If you always lose… Stop screaming alone Come and join to sing this unity song! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "You are not in this alone. Let's make unity something real and not only a slogan for a cool song! UNITY!" "No estás en esto sólx. Hagamos de la unidad algo real y no sólo un eslogan guay para una canción. UNIDAD!"

It's time to understand that we'll never be a part of your social welfare state of cars, money and t.v Now I'm twenty nine, but I am still a teenager this song talks about punks, skins and hardcore warriors. Chorus: We are the ones running against the grain we are always fucked up we are minority of one living under pressure it was fucking hard for me once I found myself in solitude, am I in this alone? freedom's just a choice between life or death to resist or fall No, I won't fit in your mold Chorus again. blacker than the black sheep in Minor Threat LP Trying to find some solid ground trying to ignore the flock the point is not to be special I'm not trying to win the race I just want to be myself Chorus again. trying to find myself always against the grain cause I refuse to live with refuse to live with walking dead oooh – we're minority of one (x2) 'against the grain, always against the grain, I don't want to live with the walking dead, even if I stand alone, I rather be a minority of one' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Nobody said being different would be easy. If you are one of those who have truly decided to be nothing but yourself, then you will know perfectly what this song is about." "Nadie dijo que ser diferente fuera fácil. Si tú eres unx de esxs que auténticamente han decidido ser nada excepto unx mismx, entonces sabrás perfectamente de qué trata esta canción"

Another year that passes by, and I can feel the pressure rising This is my declaration of war against my fucking generation There was a time when we were friends now you are so fucking boring I miss those days when you were young I miss those days, I miss those fucking days If you have money or you have fame, just think if they stole what you once were. You are not young anymore, don't deserve it, fell into a trap An adult trap, to forget to play, to forget to laugh. It’s what I am, it’s all I wanna be I’m just a stupid kid and I don’t want to grow old! A minor at heart. don’t wanna get old I won’t forget to have fun!! 1-2-3-Go! Call me stupid, tell me I’m wrong tell me what I should have to do "kids untill we fucking die!" I can't believe what my eyes are seeing another friend lost in his age, killing the child we all have inside I guess you are ill, and you got sick You’re infected and your disease is growing old - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "It's sad to see how my friends from the school are getting older and stop having fun. Becoming an adult means succumbing and to stop being yourself. It means, definitely, stop living." "Es triste ver cómo tus amigos de la infancia/adolescencia se hacen mayores y dejan de divertirse. Convertirse en adulto es sucumbir ante lo establecido, es dejar de ser unx mismx, es, en definitiva, dejar de vivir.
16.
Every time I look around me I see something is wrong I feel the weight of this world Crashing down strong on us Injustice increasing everyday Police brutality, in every street, and nothing happens! Another worker’s fired Another child that cries We walk away as if that was something we don’t care If we don’t get involved then we are the ones to blame (there’s) blood in our hands if we turn our backs Chorus: If the future is our, why can’t we make the change now? We are lost in the details, we are trapped in regrets Dreaming of tomorrow, and sell our today Now or never WE CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER DAY We got a responsibility to fight and change this world, and make this moment a real turning point Turning Point (x2) Where is solidarity? Where’s the urgency to fight? We need each other to destroy To destroy what is killing us Chorus again. Turning point Turning point We need to build new bridges and tear down their world of pain If we dream together, if we fight together… We need to build new bridges and tear down their world of pain If we dream together, if we fight together we can win Our time is up We must speak out We shall overcome and bring out the spring of springs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "This song is inspired by the protest occured since 2010 in the Spanish State - and also in the rest of Europe- motivated by the "financial crisis" and the scandals of corruption between the political class. This has to be the turning point towards a real social change!" "Esta canción esta inspirada en las protestas que acontecen en el Estado Español - y también en muchos Estados europeos- desde 2010 con motivo de la mal llamada "crisis financiera" y los escándalos de la clase política. Este tiene que ser el punto de inflexión hacia un cambio real en la sociedad!"
