Overstimulation 03:02
lyrics
Hey Can you lend us your attention For more than just ten seconds While you flip through the virtual jungle That goes on and on and on, oh Wow There’s a lack of concentration Cannot hold a conversation Due to overstimulation Can I feel the palpitations Maybe we should slow down And throw it down La di da da da da La da woo Why can’t everybody see the truth Digital sugar It’s a craving for fake news and drama Ah, dopamine lover We're all trapped in a lack of one another Let me see you put your worries down, now I wanna see you throw your hands up and around The tech can’t rule me, it’s only just a tool to me The veil can’t fool me Hey What you want me to tell you That device is just distraction of more products to sell you It’s a non-stop cycle that goes On and on and on, oh Wow They’re pumping us with algorithms Logging us on all their systems While distracting all the nations And removing motivations, adding more procrastinations Breath And just be La di da da da da La da woo Why can’t everybody see the truth Digital sugar It’s a craving for fake news and drama Ah, dopamine lover Were all trapped in a lack of one another Digital sugar It’s a craving for fake news and drama Ah, dopamine lover Were all trapped in a lack of one another Thoughts and worries just keep running around in circles Settle down or you’ll sink in your mental troubles, shh Let me see you put your worries down, now I wanna see you throw your hands up and around La di da da da da La da woo Why can’t everybody see the truth Digital sugar It’s a craving for fake news and drama Ah, dopamine lover Were all trapped in a lack of one another Digital sugar It’s a craving for fake news and drama Ah, dopamine lover We’re all trapped in a lack of one a… (Oh my god) Digital sugar

Transcendence 03:02
lyrics
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide There's no escaping from the mind At times it can be such a grind I know I always ask myself why When I hold my head up high And have ambition to the sky Does it take a nosedive? Never did I sense dark undertones Everybody hides in a telephone Find a safe place in the headphones Oh no no no, please no Gimmie just a little self-confidence To not run away from all the problems Because this way of living is nonsense Don't take offence In my defence, I wanna Wake up And get lost in the moment Explore transcendence This life can be abundant Short term pleasure falls So rise up to the challenge Universe assists me Lady luck please kiss me (Can you move with me) Rah Ooo-oo Ooo-oo Fear will play us all We don't like to admit it Learn to break the wall Surpass the limits It doesn't rain, it snows The winter is imminent Universe assist me Lady luck might kiss me Yo, I wanna trigger shivers Make the hairs stand up on end Whoa, we're in a soulful blizzard Ice cold is a killer trend Can you move To keep warm and survive We are marooned On a melody paradise Wake up And get lost in the moment Explore transcendence Be perfectly imperfect Balance saves us all Be aware of the present Universe assist me Take a deep breath with me Take a deep breath with me Yo, I wanna trigger shivers Make the hairs stand up on end Whoa, we're in a soulful blizzard Ice cold is a killer trend Can you move To keep warm and survive (Ooo-oo) We are marooned On a melody paradise We are marooned On a melody paradise Universe assist me Lady luck please kiss me

Midnight 03:22
lyrics
It’s hitting midnight I’m losing my sight I feel these walls are closing in My head is spinning I feel that my internal weather’s Spiralling out of control An emotional cyclone hits home breaking Everything that I own Every moment is effort or deceiving Chills me right to my bones Do we all get this, is it a quarter life crisis Can this feeling please leave me Alone Am I on my own I know There’s a panic attack waiting further along the road Is it even so I don't wanna know I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on hold Doo do-do do do do do do do Doo do-doo do do-doo Do-do-do-do doo do do do do do-do Doo do-doo do do-doo These situations Are affirmations that my External crisis won’t prevail From hell we will set sail Like I really feel that a curse has hit me Bringing my soul so low Even if it’s tough luck, growing up, bad karma I won’t let it stop the show I am taking little steps to lighten Up my broken soul To eliminate all this reckless thinking Can this feeling please leave me Alone Am I on my own I know There’s a panic attack blocking my path on the road Is it even so I don’t wanna know I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on… Hold on I need to breath Please can I come around Float my way back on top Flip my world upside down I now can see That I never ever lived in the now Keep the future a mystery Instead of letting cause anxiety, oh I can’t believe That I never ever lived in the now Keep the future a mystery Instead of letting it give me anxiety This feeling won’t leave me out all alone I’m not on my own I know There’s a panic attack I left back down the road Is it even so I don't wanna know I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on hold Is it even so I don’t wanna know I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack I have to do sweet jack to put my heart attack on hold

Freak 03:00
lyrics
I’m caught up in a bind I’m hiding something Embedded deep in the mind Thought it’s probably nothing I feel society Constantly watching me Is this big brother I’m feeling the pressure lately Feelings I can’t ignore Let it out before I scream it out Let’s hit the floor and shout Hell yeah I am just a freak I wouldn’t do it any other way 'Cause that’s not like me Ha-ha-haa Hell yeah Oh what a release It feels so good to let it out Just let me be me Don’t let the world decide Your social behaviour So no more holding back, don’t hide Ya freak of nature I feel society Constantly judging me There’s no disgrace It’s time to embrace the fact that Judgement will hurt them more Let it all out before You live in regret We’ll never forget that we are All freaks We’re so tongue in cheek We wouldn’t do it any other way So please join the clique Ha-ha-ha Hell yeah Oh what a release It feels so good to let it out It’s good to feel free Hell yeah I am just a freak I wouldn’t do it any other way 'Cause that’s not like me Ha-ha-haa Hell yeah Oh what a release It feels so good to let it out Just let me be me We’ll never forget that we are We’ll never forget that we are All freaks We’re so tongue in cheek We wouldn’t do it any other way So please join the clique Ha-ha-ha Hell yeah Oh what a release It feels so good to let it out It’s good to feel free Awoo Oh I’m such a freak Awoo Oh I’m such a freak Don’t let the world decide (Awoo) Awoo Ha-ha-haa So no more holding back (Awoo) Don't hide Awoo

Devil's Dance 04:06
lyrics
Cool wind Breathing through summer I look in the club People dancing with each other I wish I knew how to move like that I wish I could be the coolest cat On the floor This figure came out of nowhere This mystery man He just held his stare at me He said, "Listen here I see your problem I’ll help you to dance Face it You’ve got no rhythm I’ll give a lesson you’ll never forget for free All you have to do is sign right here for me" He pricked my finger and it started to bleed I signed away in blood I didn't even read He closed his eyes, raised his hands And put a spell on me I was shrouded in so much smoke That I could not breathe But then I felt so loose, so relaxed In a way I’d never been I could suddenly dance like a demon It made me grin I felt so good I felt alright I felt so cool It felt so nice I strolled inside And started busting shapes Everyone was amazed All eyes were fixed on me They couldn’t believe what they’d seen I thanked the man And asked for his name He said, "Are you insane?" He said, "I am the devil And you just signed your soul away!" Oh oh What have I done All this just for some attention Please demon How do I undo this problem He said, "I challenge you to a dance off here tonight Because I want to bet I’ll win your soul in this fight" I am feeling something going on downtown tonight Because I am feeling something going wrong (What’s this feeling in my head) I am feeling something going on downtown tonight Because I am dancing off with a devil in my mind Was this all in my head all along Was I in fact dancing on my own Anyway I felt so good I felt alright I felt so cool It felt so nice So good Alright So cool So nice

Disconnect 03:03
lyrics
I don’t know what to say to you I nod my head and go Mmm, uh huh, yeah I don’t know how to respond I didn't take it in so Mmm, uh huh, yeah I can’t take in anything I’m too distracted by a screen You don’t know how hard it is for me Mmm, uh huh, yeah I’m saying Mmm, uh huh, yeah Am I even listening Is it even sinking in I guess not, I’ve lost the plot I’m too busy scrolling I am so occupied with Living in technology Am I even human I guess not apparently Algorithms choosing what I do and don’t believe Program my reality with hits of dopamine Study my biology to hack it with technology Did I give you too much power Have I sold out my humanity They wanted me addicted Isolated and constricted Made me think it’s self-inflicted Disconnect to reconnect I now know what to say to you Let’s live a life of being here And now and free There’s a whole world to explore That before I ignored, let’s go Here and now and free I won’t forget reality Or live inside a dream Won’t let them profit from anxiety Here and now and free I’m saying here And now and free I won’t hide In a distortion of my life Look inside The truth doesn't have to lie I decide on how to feel alive My spirit will survive Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh

Astral Escape 02:54
lyrics
A fire paints Amber glow in the night A circle of faces Caressed with warm light The gentle air Sings with soothing whispers We watch the flames Play with dancing embers I lay back, close my eyes Set destination to the skies Roll out of body and out of mind You've gotta come with me It's an adventure of a lifetime The spirit is breathing And it liberates me I'm having a feeling That's more real than reality Thoughts fade Through the night I chase the fireflies Calling me into the galaxy Am I the dreamer Who's aware of the dream Serenity moving through me smoothly Like a soft stream I never knew What to make of this reality There's so much more to this Than what we perceive Lay back, close your eyes Time to arise and feel alive Roll out of body and out of mind You've gotta believe me It's an adventure of a lifetime The spirit is breathing And it liberates me I'm having a feeling That's more real than reality Thoughts fade Through the night I chase the fireflies Calling me into the galaxy Time to fly (fly!) The spirit is breathing And it liberates me I'm having a feeling That's more real than reality Thoughts fade Through the night I chase the fireflies Calling me into the galaxy The feeling is coming It's time to stop running And let it take over These emotions are rare So please don't be scared Take on anything Thoughts fade Through the night I chase the fireflies Calling me into the galaxy Calling me into the galaxy Calling me into the galaxy

Polychrome 02:47
lyrics
I keep on moving Though I’m losing the will to be Mindful by choosing Not to be my worst enemy Why do I work my life away It’s a never ending means to an end What a shame (Just keep on going) Whenever I’m low Motivation eludes me I feel I’m chasing rainbows The colours fade to grey Days are skipping And the money is dwindling I find no time to climb From this mood I’m battling But when I see you my head plays on repeat A broken record saying I won’t retreat Give me the courage to get on my feet, ahh Tell me do you want me Do you like me You delight me honey Living dreams Black and white no more a theme You bring colour to my being I’m aching to know Tell me do you want me Do you like me You ignite me honey I now see in polychrome Why do you have to go I felt so lost I thought I was going crazy You give me life You give me meaning and energy I couldn’t make the jump I thought the fear would break me But the fall made me I found my mojo baby Living dreams Black and white no more a theme You bring colour to my being I’m aching to know Tell me do you want me Do you like me You ignite me honey I now see in polychrome Living dreams Black and white no more a theme You bring colour to my being I’m aching to know Tell me do you want me Do you like me You ignite me honey I now see in polychrome (Tell me do you want me Do you like me You ignite me honey) Nyaa, whoa Right now I feel at home (Tell me do you want me Do you like me You ignite me honey) Nyaa, whoa I now see in polychrome I now see in polychrome

The Game 03:16
lyrics
Can't let go All I know Is that peppy song that goes like Bedroom boogaloo At 2:32 My busy mind’s running circles I need something to do Throw my lights around the room Play that catchy tune I should be trying to sleep now Many deadlines are due I wanna go outside It’s getting harder Having no adventure I think I’ve lost my mind (Where’d it go) I’m gonna find it It’s hiding somewhere out there And go Dropkick the front door Oh boy here I go I’m marching down the footpath Into the unknown Stomp stomping around Grinning mightily insane There’s no way you can stop me 'Cause I’m too far in the game Let’s play I want to jump and run around Until I calm my reckless mind down Hey, welcome to my mad parade (Ohhhh) I wanna stay outside (Hoo-hoo-hoo) It’s so much better Having this adventure I think I’ve lost my Crazy little mind yeah I’ve got to find it It’s hiding somewhere So let’s get it I wish I could relax And put my thoughts on mute I’m too much of a night owl Cause I’m such a hoot (Hoo-hoo-hoo) When’s it time to be an adult Living seriously Is it time to be mature Life a cheddar cheese (Umm) I wanna stay outside (Hoo-hoo-hoo) It’s so much better Having this adventure I think I’ve lost my Crazy little mind yeah I’ve got to find it It’s hiding somewhere I’m running away from the real world I’m too far far in the game Let’s play I want to jump and run around Until I calm my reckless mind down Hey, welcome to my mad parade I wanna stay outside (Hoo-hoo-hoo) It’s so much better Having this adventure I think I’ve lost my Crazy little, crazy little, crazy little mind yeah I’ve got to find it It’s hiding somewhere out there I’m running away from the real world (Hoo-hoo-hoo) I’m running away from the real world yeah

Cosmic Butterfly 03:33
lyrics
Space in perfect silence All seems far too quiet out here Through the cosmic mist There emerges a ship And she goes by the name of 'Cosmic Butterfly' She will sail the seven skies A crew with dedication Plundering space stations And hacking systems of satellites Look out All aboard the Butterfly Find your freedom in the skies We’ll take the heavens by surprise Space pirates for life Sail the graveyard orbit They could come for us at any moment They won’t let us be free Think they own you and me We’ve gotta steal back our liberty We’ll fly high in history Hijack satellites that broadcast TV Send a message to the planet For the one percent to pay Or we’ll break the world’s technology Look out All aboard the Butterfly Find your freedom in the skies We’ll take the heavens by surprise Space pirates for life All aboard the Butterfly Find your freedom in the skies We’ll take the heavens by surprise Space pirates for life ~We’ve just received a message That Earth are sending all their forces our way To your stations!~ Brace yourselves They’re coming to get us We’ll take them on It’s now or never We won’t go down without a fight Farewell Our sinking ship has opened eyes Shout together people rise Don’t fall silent in the night (Brace yourselves) (Brace yourselves) All aboard the Butterfly (There coming to get us) We found our freedom in the skies (We’ll take them on) We took the heavens by surprise (It’s now or never) Space pirates for life

The Joker 03:00
lyrics
I’m stuck inside and I’m bottled up I need to uncork all the buildup It’s somewhat of an issue Don't cry for me, no need for tissues I don't seem to care anymore I feel like flying off the handle maybe Put my glass down and head downtown I’m feeling like a joker gonna mess around So look out Yeah, you can’t stop me craving Uhh, I’m so good at misbehaving Make the heartbeats bounce then maybe Take your hand, spin you round We’ll make it jazzy, baby Woohoo, I think I’m going crazy So smooth, you can’t crease me I won’t be mean, just letting off steam Before my head explodes Hahaa I’m causing trouble everywhere I go Life is like a stage gotta put on a show Like a rebel without a cause I don’t need a approval No need for applause People get too easily bored So let me entertain you baby Find fun in the here and now I’m feeling like a joker Gonna play around So look out Yeah, you can’t stop me craving Uhh, I’m so good at misbehaving Make the heartbeats bounce then maybe Take your hand, spin you round We’ll make it jazzy, baby Woohoo, I think I’m going crazy So smooth, you can’t crease me I won’t be mean, just letting off steam Before my head explodes Before my head explodes (Ahh) (Ahh) Uhh Do you feel like gravitating To the grove so smooth Ahh It’s invigorating Ohhh Uhh, give me some love Uhh, I’m so good at misbehaving Make the heartbeats bounce then maybe Take your hand, spin you round We’ll make it jazzy, baby Woohoo, I think I’m going crazy So smooth, you can’t crease me I won’t be mean, just letting off steam Before my head explodes (Ahh) Before my head explodes (Hahaa) Ohhh, uhh

One Last Time 04:20
lyrics
Go! I stepped into the sun Can't stay here for long No words for pictures Of love and stone We can't leave life behind Across an ocean wide My wish for you and I Can be no more One last time Take my hand As we stare into The setting sun One last time We'll run away Our road's alight For one more day (Huh, huh) Neon light, over my head Street life singing in blue Harmony in your eyes Give me one more look We hold onto the moment Hoping for a better day Among the amber light You slip away One last time Take my hand As we stare into The setting sun One last time We'll run away Our road's alight For one more day Ooo-oh yeah A-na-na-naa Ooo, ooo One last time (One last time) (Take my hand) Take my hand (Stare in) (The setting sun) As we stare into (One last time) (We'll run away) The setting sun (Road's a-) One last time Take my hand As we stare into The setting sun One last time We'll run away Our road's alight For one more day One last time (One last time) (Take my hand) Take my hand (Stare in) (The setting sun) As we stare into (One last time) (We'll run away) The setting sun (Road's alight for one more) One last time (One last time) (Take my hand) We'll run away (Stare in) (The setting sun) Our road's alight (One last time) (We'll run away) For one more day (Road's alight for one more day)

about

Tidal Rave’s debut album explores a colourful spectrum of emotion by playfully tackling the themes of our relationship with technology, self-improvement from inner-turmoil, the contrast of escapism and acceptance with the added sprinkle of rascality for good measure - because we wouldn’t want the dance of life to be taken too seriously of course!



Catchy pop vocal hooks tastefully intertwine with cosmic synths and raw 8-string explosiveness, opening the portal for any listener to a delightfully fresh and theatrical Pop-Metal experience!

So if it’s adventure you seek, join the SPACE PIRATES FOR LIFE!!
