about

The song is written for the youth who get to deal with all the shit that was left behind by previous generations. How they are fighting back. The song doesn’t note whether they’ll be successful, because we don’t know yet. With global warming, an international unstable economy and an aging population, there’s a lot worth fighting for to find a viable way of living.

lyrics

Got fed up with the status quo
The one that goes awry, well you know
With the poor showing their hand
Got to make, got to make a last stand
Before it all goes to shit

When push comes to shove
And the lining comes undone
Bandages won't help the cause
When the source is already lost
When push comes to shove
Then bleak becomes the dawn
Wailing from the wreckage still
From dusk and all night long

You say arcadian, well maybe then
We'd figure out the path to stay within the means
We got and not to fuck about with clout
On our steeds we rode the world
Until machines multiplied our strength
And instead of a beginning, we got the beginning of the end

Mouth stitched shut, wasted youth
Refuse to take their pills today
Grit their teeth and stake their claim
It's true

Gone through hell, gated now
Are the ones who hold the truth
Losing their lives speaking their minds
No news

about

Karvel image

Karvel Rotterdam, Netherlands

Karvel makes energetic progressive stoner rock with a hint of melancholy.

Low, gritty and very very dirty, this three headed beast spews fiery riffs with elements of Soundgarden Red Fang, Soundgarden and Mastodon.
