Uptight 03:42
It's very weird to be among all these people you should know You're not feeling too well, but you can't go away from everything that makes you blow your mind and I know you won't tell a soul It seems so strange You're helpless here But let's face the truth Don't get uptight Uptight It's very weird To be a role model to society Your behavior conflicts with your belief You know where comes from this anxiety Just stop and tell all your friends and family It seems so strange You're helpless here But let's face the truth Don't get uptight Uptight I feel for you And I

Side By Side 04:17
All these eyes staring at the streets Chasing a way All these noises, sounds and beats Making a day No one knows who they can trust and believe Prejudice and hate will keep us apart Some may say pain is just our destiny If you want to survive you need to be sure about being smart But everything is not a cruel and unfair game Or a shame We overcame Side by side We're gonna find a place to call home We're here to survive and pay, pay the costs We wanna have some hope and faith, but we're feeling lost No one knows who they can trust and believe Prejudice and hate will keep us apart Some may say pain is just our destiny If you want to survive you need to be sure about being smart But everything is not a cruel and unfair game Or a shame We overcame Side by side We're gonna find a place to call home

It's been a long and crooked healing These sad stars painted on the ceiling The same view invites to carefully kneel down It's the king's last cursed day and his crown When it all happened Someone said How are you feeling? How are you feeling? How are you feeling now? A crack in time and the wound in soul The answer that wind didn't blow The same view invites to carefully kneel down It's the king's last cursed day and his crown When it all happened Someone said How are you feeling? How are you feeling? How are you feeling now?

Post-Truth 02:48
Ignorance is feeding the post-truth and everybody's lost the game Alienation and stupidity are no longer just a trend We feel like we can't breathe We expect relief and joy The rise of brand new day A dream they can't destroy If you surrender to all mistaken beliefs So you fall under the spell And in a near future They'll pulverize every single part of our fate And poisoning one by one Privileges aren't fair Actually they came from a social failure Stop wasting your time Looking for heroes, martyrs and all kind of saviours If you surrender to all mistaken beliefs So you fall under the spell And in a near future They'll pulverize every single part of our fate And poisoning one by one

Comfort Zone 02:58
You got no questions Despise the answers I know you really don't mind You won't change anything Won't change anything Time’s not so kind Hang on You need to try and leave the comfort zone You're blaming others For what you can't get It's the easiest way I don't owe you anything I don't owe you anything This creed is your decay It’s too hard to confess You made your life a mess Just you You need to hang on So you'll try to leave the comfort zone You got the questions So find the answers Here's an insight

Searching 04:29
It would be good It could've been I want to get over it Shame is confusing me They say about my history They say what my future is They say where I should be No one is asking me It takes so long To get where you belong But I am finally here Whispering in your ears If you're searching for a friend Someone to hold your hand There's another way Some things will never mend Don't fool yourself again There's another way It would be good It could've been I'll stop repeating this A real life can begin They say about my history They say what my future is They say where I should be Go to hell with it

She's got no reason to stand up and see the world outside For days, all she does is get stuck inside this empty room With no hopes and no perspectives Where's the meaning of all this? Teach me In the face of fear, you never miss bravery And just move on She can't say about the last time that she saw the sky I guess she's lost flowers and roses in full bloom She's got no hopes and no perspectives Where's the meaning of all this? Teach me In the face of fear, you never miss bravery I hope that you can see us as friends So you'll understand how this could end It doesn't have to be so tragic We can't stay static

Whereabout 03:20
I need to know your whereabout Things are so strange Without you here All my hopes, they're not bear out I expect the change Desperately Giving up is not a choice Actions may be undertaken No matter where we go So when you hear my voice We got something to believe in Let it flow I need to know your whereabout Things are so strange Without you here An inside war becomes paramount My mind's disarranged I can barely see Among these fools I feel so weak They can't judge me They can't define you Their stupid rules Don't work fairly We need to leave it all behind

Wrong 04:20
Don't burn all your faith and hope on a funeral pyre Before what it should be, Even though we're upset and tired When it all comes down to these old unhealed traumas It's unavoidable to frustrate dreams and desires Do you have something from me to keep with you? I failed, but I wanted to leave you something good When it all comes down to these old unhealed traumas It's unavoidable to frustrate dreams and desires You still put me down I blame myself each time around For you whatever I say I'm wrong After all, you're part of my best version of me It feels like I’ve just learned how to crawl and creep When it all comes down to these old unhealed traumas It's unavoidable to frustrate dreams and desires If I ever see you again I won't have any heartache Treat forgiveness like a friend When it says "let me in, let me in" Stay away from growing pain You don't need to bend and break Treat forgiveness like a friend And let it stay

Bluster 05:03
The bluster brings with it some kind of grief But you can breathe a sigh of relief The worst is over and now you can go home Brace yourself, you need to live alone It’s clear to me, you can handle it There’s no more fear, the way it should be You’re ready to start all over again The news was even worse than you expected Despair and agony slowly melted The worst is over and now you can go home Brace yourself, you need to live alone It’s clear to me, you can handle it There’s no more fear, the way it should be You’re ready to start all over again

about

Leitmotif, Loyal Gun's second album, continues the trilogy started in Faux Nostalgia (2019) and deals with the end of adulthood, the time of the so-called "midlife crisis", which is why its theme color is marsala, representing sunset. The trilogy addresses the flowering of the understanding of the legacy of the experiences and traumas of each transition, consequently, all the albums that compose it are always released in the week of the spring solstice, the period of flowering of new knowledge, experiences and conceptions.
