TORMENTS OF WAR

"Torments of War" is a cry of despair against the brutality and devastation caused by armed conflicts. The song paints a grim portrait of battlefields marked by relentless machine guns, deadly explosions, and lethal aircraft spreading indiscriminate destruction. With vivid imagery of bloodied soldiers and a world plunged into chaos, it mourns the absence of peace as a dystopian future unfolds before a humanity overcome by hopelessness, culminating in the ultimate threat of nuclear annihilation.

"Torments of War" é um grito de desespero diante da brutalidade e devastação causadas pelos conflitos armados. A música pinta um retrato sombrio de campos de batalha marcados por metralhadoras implacáveis, explosões fatais e o voo letal de aeronaves que espalham destruição indiscriminada. Com imagens vívidas de soldados ensanguentados e um mundo mergulhado no caos, a canção lamenta a ausência de paz, enquanto um futuro distópico se desenrola diante de uma humanidade tomada pela desesperança, culminando na ameaça definitiva de destruição nuclear.

Hear the sound of the machine guns
Destroying the hearts of those who fight
See the explosions taking their lives
Many brave men covered in blood

Steel birds scratching the air
Spitting fire, killing women and men

Torments of War
Soldiers Dying

Torments Of War
A World without Peace

Destroying buildings, feeding the anger
Visions of no hope for tomorrow

This doomed future war foresight
Hopelessness takes cover of human hearts
The nuclear bomb has been released
There's no return, there are no regrets

BUILDING AN IDIOCRACY

The song depicts a dystopian world where chaos reigns under the rule of a "mad king," exploiting the collective blindness of his followers. Viewed by many as a Messiah, he leads a society of blind puppets into ruin, disregarding facts and destroying significant achievements. With biting irony, the lyrics highlight the danger of leaders who govern through insanity and manipulation, exploiting people for their own gain. "Building an Idiocracy" is a dark and provocative portrayal of a society lost in idolatry and disconnected from reality.

A música retrata um mundo distópico onde o caos reina sob o comando de um "rei louco", que se aproveita da cegueira coletiva de seus seguidores. Considerado por muitos como um Messias, ele conduz uma sociedade de marionetes cegas à ruína, ignorando fatos e destruindo conquistas importantes. Com ironia ácida, a letra denuncia o perigo de líderes que governam pela insanidade e manipulação, explorando as pessoas para seu próprio ganho. "Building an Idiocracy" é um retrato sombrio e provocador de uma sociedade perdida na idolatria e desconexão da realidade.

Living in a distant world
In another reality
Bringing caos
Doing what he wants
No matter what
are the consequences

Some people saw him as a new Messiah

But in the end
He's just a mad king
Doing shit!

People in the streets
Believing that
He is a god
Everything he says
They raise their hands
And bow their heads

An army of puppets marching against

The facts and reality
For some crazy world
Only they can see

The clown in front of you
Is ruling by insanity
The clown who’s shaking your hand
Will get your money in the end

Things we have achieved
Are being thrown in the away

There’s no use in saying
There’s no use in showing
There’s no use in proving
A blind army
Stupid puppets

FAIRY TALE

This song captures the frustration of feeling like an outsider in a world obsessed with conformity. The lyrics express a struggle to find oneself and survive in a judgmental environment. It challenges societal pressures to follow a pre-written script and emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's beliefs, even when it feels isolating. The song acknowledges the difficulty of this path but ultimately embraces a newfound awareness and rejects the need for approval from those who can't understand.

Essa música captura a frustração de se sentir como um estranho em um mundo obcecado pela conformidade. A letra expressa a luta para se encontrar e sobreviver em um ambiente cheio de julgamentos. Ela desafia as pressões sociais para seguir um roteiro pré-estabelecido e enfatiza a importância de permanecer fiel às próprias crenças, mesmo quando isso parece solitário. A música reconhece a dificuldade desse caminho, mas, no fim, abraça uma nova consciência e rejeita a necessidade de aprovação daqueles que não conseguem entender.

All the shit they tell you everyday
It seems I don't belong here or
I am not good enough

Round and round and round trying to find myself
And survive in this jungle where nobody seems to care

I will not lie, this is not easy
To stand for something you don't believe
It seems the same movie is repeating
And the time is going away

They say you need to follow the script
As if you were born just for that

They sell you as it's all that matters
Nothing else needs your care

But sometimes life punches you in the face
And now your eyes can see without blur
The meaning of this life has changed
And now you know they will never understand

Day and night, time is running fast for you and I
You can't deny, you know you can not turn back time
And it's all right, we like to think it ends with a smile
But we are, broken inside

RIDE OF THE CLOWN

"Ride of the Clown" is a track with a really unique vibe, featuring layered lyrics. It talks about feeling mentally and physically trapped in a toxic relationship. The lyrics depict someone who feels isolated and manipulated, as if they're stuck in a castle built by someone else. Despite trying to make sense of the situation, the protagonist ends up laughing to hide the tragedy. In the end, though, they cut the strings and regain their freedom, embarking on a journey of self-discovery. The song highlights how these toxic relationships are cyclical and how hard it is to escape unresolved emotions.

Locked alone in my own castle
Made of sand and shaped by you, girl
Full of doubts and good intentions
Trying to make sense out of the Blue

You better watch me
You better watch me

Feeling down and somber I won't figure it out
So I laugh though it's all tragedy
“You should look inside yourself”, doctor said
So I cry like a clown, my comedy

You better watch me
You better watch me

I cut off the strings and your puppet I am no longer now
Gonna find my way no matter where no matter how
I cut off the strings and your puppet I am no longer now
Gonna find my way no matter where no matter how

Did you get it?
Just sit down and praise my ride!
We’ve been counting
Down the minutes to midnight!

My darling, you don't know yet
But in six months from now you will be calling me
Cause there is no future, there is no past
Nothing ever ends
It never really ends

HAPPY FACES

The song "Happy Faces" delves into the dark and twisted psyche of a character reminiscent of the Joker from the film of the same name. It portrays a tormented individual who feels overwhelmed by sadness, anger, and a deep sense of injustice, leading to a desperate explosion of rage. The lyrics capture the character's transformation from a person ignored and mistreated by society to someone who, with nothing left to lose, unleashes chaos and madness. The eerie joy found in the chaos reflects the Joker's descent into madness, as he revels in the terror and mayhem he creates.

A música "Happy Faces" mergulha na psique sombria e distorcida de um personagem reminiscente do Coringa, do filme de mesmo nome. Ela retrata um indivíduo atormentado, consumido pela tristeza, raiva e uma profunda sensação de injustiça, que culminam em uma explosão desesperada de fúria. A letra captura a transformação desse personagem: de alguém ignorado e maltratado pela sociedade para uma figura que, sem mais nada a perder, desencadeia o caos e a loucura. A alegria macabra encontrada nesse caos reflete sua descida à insanidade, enquanto ele se deleita no terror e na destruição que provoca.

Looking into myself the only thing I see is sadness and cowardice
I’m angry and I’m ready to explode

And It’s not fair the life I live and how they treat us
Left behind as if we were shit

One more joke
They take what’s left from me but it seems to be
Not enough
They need to see me bleeding and
Begging for mercy
And even if I try to scream
Nobody will hear
Because I’m no one

Welcome, this is our home
Enjoy yourself, do what you want
Look at them and have a laugh
Just leave a tip and it’s all right

I'm in front of you and speaking
But you do not listen
I'm sick of this
And this feeling of contempt
I don't have anything
And nobody cares
Now it is my turn
And…..

I will let him out of the cage
Cause I have nothing to lose
Now you may taste what you have built all this time

Now you can see me
And the party begins
I see people running
And a lot of screams
Isn't that what you were looking for?
Smiles in all their faces
This is the sound of madness
The laugh will take this place

WHITE RABBIT

Inspired by the poignant themes of the film "Jojo Rabbit", "White Rabbit" dives into the turmoil of a young boy torn between indoctrination and humanity. The song portrays the inner conflict of a child struggling between loyalty to an oppressive regime and the compassion he feels for a girl seen as the enemy. The narrative explores the weight of lies, the loss of innocence, and the yearning to break free from manipulation. The chorus echoes the tragic simplicity of hatred, while the hopeful ending symbolizes liberation from oppressive ideologies. "White Rabbit" is a powerful reflection on the resilience of love and individuality in the face of dehumanizing forces.

Inspirada pelos temas comoventes do filme "Jojo Rabbit", "White Rabbit" mergulha no turbilhão de um jovem dividido entre a doutrinação e a humanidade. A música retrata o conflito interno de um garoto que luta entre a lealdade a um regime opressor e a compaixão que sente por uma garota vista como inimiga. A narrativa explora o peso das mentiras, a perda da inocência e o desejo de se libertar da manipulação. O refrão ecoa a trágica simplicidade do ódio, enquanto o desfecho esperançoso simboliza a libertação de ideologias opressivas. "White Rabbit" é uma reflexão poderosa sobre a resiliência do amor e da individualidade diante de forças desumanizadoras.

I cry because I'm lost
I saw her, she seems so normal
But he wants me to report her
My heart will not let me
He keeps screaming inside my head:
"You need to get out of here!"

Mom, it’s not fair what they did to you
I'm just a kid, I don't know what to do
I need to take him from my head
And wipe out all those lies
The girl is the only thing I have
And she is like me

Bombs from planes
They are shooting us
I don't wanna shoot back
I just want to go home

Lies that blind and take your heart
Lies that may cost some lives
It's funny how they simplify
"Just kill what you don't like"

It seems it's over
The flags are down
He left my head, and
She can see the sun again

THE HERO DAY

"The Hero Day" portrays the emotional and psychological impact of a mysterious event that causes part of the population to disappear, plunging the world into chaos and despair. The song narrates scenes of pain and confusion, such as a mother in shock over the loss of her child and the unexpected brutality of a man killing a dog. October 14th, the day "of the departed," symbolizes collective trauma, while the enigmatic Guilty Remnants, dressed in white, provoke intense reactions and violence with their disturbing behavior. Amid the confusion, the narrator grapples with his own despair, pleads for reconnection, and watches the world teetering on the brink of collapse.

A child is crying, and his mother is going crazy
The world is falling on her head
But now some silence….
Sam? Please tell me what just happened?

Running in the morning
A black dog stops in front of me
His last breath, his last look
Before the bald man kills him

October 14th, the anniversary
A day to remember, the hero day

I Woke up again with a strange feeling
Was it a dream? Am I getting crazy?
A stone lady with her baby
Tears and sadness for the departed

Almost 50 marching in white clothes
Where did they come from?
What do they want?

It seems that everybody is waiting for a sign to explode

STOP WASTING YOUR BREATH!
STOP WASTING YOUR BREATH!
STOP WASTING YOUR BREATH!
STOP WASTING YOUR BREATH!

They screamed, they fought
Violence over the world
Is it a cult or is it god’s desire?
Blood in the silent faces of the GR

The night fall came and
I need some beer
I am lost, I am desperate
I’m in front of you my love, please come home!

Sam, please tell me what just happened?
Everybody will explode
Violence all over the world
Blood in the faces of the GR

ENDLESS LOOP

"Endless Loop" is a poetic reflection on the beauty of nature and its constant destruction by human actions. The song begins with serene imagery of a seaside paradise, where the sun, the moon, and the ocean create an eternal cycle of harmony. However, this tranquility is contrasted with the devastation caused by humanity, cutting down trees, polluting, and destroying everything in its path. The narrative intensifies as the speaker is overcome with anger and sadness, recognizing the repetitive, self-imposed cycle of destruction. Amid flames and tears, the song becomes a desperate plea to awaken consciousness before it’s too late.

A música começa com imagens serenas de um paraíso à beira-mar, onde o sol, a lua e o oceano criam um ciclo eterno de harmonia. No entanto, essa tranquilidade é contrastada com a devastação causada pela humanidade, que derruba árvores, polui e destrói tudo ao seu redor. A narrativa cresce em intensidade, com o eu lírico tomado por raiva e tristeza, percebendo o impacto repetitivo e autoimposto desse ciclo de destruição. Em meio a chamas e lágrimas, a canção é um apelo desesperado para despertar a consciência antes que seja tarde demais.

In the horizon I still see the sun
through the mirror of the ocean
and some tree leaves are falling like rain
Slices of light on my face came to say goodbye
and the birds sing their last song

Blue sky, the sunset begins
And the night presents itself
The stars started to shine
And the moon is waking up again

I can hear the noise of the wind
And feel some drops in the air
My eyes open again
I can feel the sand in my hands

I walk on the edge of the sea
Hearing the sound of the waves
I gaze at the dance of the trees
And some crabs partying in the sand

This is what I call paradise
But it seems nobody can see
They are too busy cutting the trees
Polluting and burning everything

And I want to scream
My heart starts to beat fast
My mind fills up with rage
everything is dying

It seems we are desperate to kill
Everything that keeps us alive
And every time, the same excuse
We are fool or we are too naive

Fire in the sky, they have arrived - again
The dream becomes nightmare, the moon starts to cry - again
Burning inside, sadness in life - again
Now you should pray, for some heaven in sky

Step into the new era of Vartroy. Anomaly Reimagined redefines a turning point — every sound reborn, every voice renewed. Not just a remake, but the awakening of a new identity.
