lyrics

Hey let me tell you
Timetravel isn't such an easy ride
There are laws involved that you must abide
And no matter you might say or do
It's gonna rectify itself like a strange voodoo

let's say you go back to before you were conceived
to kill your dad with a gun you thieved
Now This is when it all gets very twisted
Cause how can you do it if you never existed?

There is talk about these alternate timelines that
starts to exist when you mess with the confines
But time is tough and it won't abide,
if you try to commit such a suicide

Every time you pull the trigger the force that's getting bigger
will make you miss and cheat the gravedigger
Now you can try it as much you want
But time will always get there right in front.

Time paradoxes - it's like a big force of nature
Time paradoxes - Whatever you do
Time paradoxes - You know that it's gonna stop yo010u!
Time paradoxes - there's no breaking through!

So let's say I built myself a time machine
And went into the future to join the scene
I got hold of a piece of technology
and went back and messed with chronology

My plan was to say that I was the inventor
Make a million bucks and be the epicenter
But where did it come from in the very first place
That's when it hits you right in your face

Yeah
Tryin to ride on time
Yeah
Ride on ride on
Everyone is a traveler heading straight forward
But you know what they say...
Time is like a river and you can't touch the same water twice
People live their lives as though they're never gonna die
And then they die without ever having lived.
There is a big bad wolf - you'd better feed the good wolf!

Time is like a big roaring river
And I'm just trying to navigate
Like a flood when you make too big ripples
they're gone - the water is still going straight

Time paradoxes - it's like a big force of nature
Time paradoxes - Whatever you do
Time paradoxes - You know that it's gonna stop you!
Time paradoxes - there's no breaking through!

Time paradoxes - it's like a big force of nature
Time paradoxes - Whatever you do
Time paradoxes - You know that it's gonna stop you!
Time paradoxes - there's no breaking through!

Boom, ha! I'm in the zone
Gonna make a change with a huge big stone
I throw it in the water with a mighty big splash
But seconds later it is gone in a flash

There is not a sign of that happening
For time that stone was just not a big thing
It just keeps on flowing in a certain direction
Totally resistant of any infection

Cause

Time is like a big roaring river
And I'm just trying to navigate
Like a flood when you make too big ripples
they're gone - the water is still going straight

Time paradoxes - it's like a big force of nature
Time paradoxes - Whatever you do
Time paradoxes - You know that it's gonna stop you!
Time paradoxes - there's no breaking through!

Time paradoxes - it's like a big force of nature
Time paradoxes - Whatever you do
Time paradoxes - You know that it's gonna stop you!
Time paradoxes - there's no breaking through!

BETTER THAN REALITY
by LukHash

supported by 4 fans who also own “Time Paradoxes”

Certains artistes sont plus performants quand ils font cavaliers seuls et LukHash en fait partie. GHOSTS était sans conteste un bon album mais le format de la chanson l'obligeait à se brider. Dans BETTER THAN REALITY, excepte sur "WE ARE FOREVER", le chant s'en va (même les samples vocaux sont très rares), le croisement entre la chiptune et la synthwave reste et LukHash nous met dans l'ambiance avec des sons rétros qui semblent tirés de VHS. La production retrouve sa puissance. Irréprochable ! Jordan Vauvert

GHOSTS
by LukHash

supported by 4 fans who also own “Time Paradoxes”

GHOSTS : un titre idéal pour un album sorti en octobre mais pas que. LukHash change de stratégie et fait appel à plusieurs chanteurs et chanteuses — et je ne parle pas de voix passées au mixeur mais bien de vraies performances vocales — ce qui nécessite un ajustement : il se fait plus discret et donc disparaît, en un sens. Il adopte aussi un style plus occidental avec une synthwave influencée par les années 80. Bref, LukHash s'obstine à toujours prendre des risques, c'est son grand point fort ! Jordan Vauvert

CyberChip
by LukHash

supported by 4 fans who also own “Time Paradoxes”

Le négatif multiplié par le négatif, ça donne du positif et cette règle mathématique a fait le succès de LukHash, qui a créé une électro moderne en croisant deux genres rétros. Dans CyberChip, il suit encore plus la voie du moins et compose uniquement à partir de la puce sonore de la Commodore 64 mais il l'exploite au maximum de ses capacités et c'est une symphonie sur toutes les pistes. Pour dire les choses autrement, le négatif redonne encore du positif. LukHash est un magicien de la musique ! Jordan Vauvert
