Broken Down… On the side On the road of your life… Somebody help me, anyone help me Somebody teach me what I need Education, Tribulation We’re never taught the way to be More than that, we lost ourselves Those honest words are sobering I won’t let go of anything Or what I know anymore Truth is my only desire Don’t feed me lies, Don’t feed me lies It feels so right, feels so right Angels gaze, upon this place With a blank curiosity There they go, 6 billion souls Blinded by hypocrisy Philosophize, tell me Conceptualize, show me What it is your world is made of Education, Tribulation We’re never taught the way to be More than that, we lost ourselves Those honest words are sobering Those honest words are sobering Those honest words are sobering

Take us away out of this so called world No longer afraid listen to your whole hearts word I want to enlighten our consciousness Being truly alive is what we sometimes miss Saints, Sinners, Prophets, Losers Winners We are all of these, Lets break this endless mystery Don’t believe what they said Don’t let those lies stay in your head And we will break free From these chains of society We won’t do what we’re supposed to Don’t believe us well we’ll show you And we’ll give away, all those things of yesterday The truth is such a rarity, don’t let your life be a parody And we’ll give away, all those things of yesterday The truth is such a rarity, don’t let your life be a parody Keep searching for some clarity Take us away out of this so called world No longer afraid listen to your whole hearts word I want to enlighten our consciousness Being truly alive is what we sometimes miss Who’s a prophet but a mad man No one listens but the sad man Prisoner, set your mind free Please take my hand to clarity Come with me Saints, Sinners, Prophets, Losers Winners We are all of these, Lets break this endless mystery Don’t believe what they said Don’t let those lies stay in your head And we will break free From these chains of society We won’t do what we’re supposed to Don’t believe us well we’ll show you And we’ll give away, all those things of yesterday The truth is such a rarity, don’t let your life be a parody And we’ll give away, all those things of yesterday The truth is such a rarity, don’t let your life be a parody Keep searching for some clarity

Can you, feel me Floating through, like a ghost I’m not, the one That you thought I was Looking through myself in the mirror I can see her pain I can hear her Was it fate that set her free Or was it me Like a creature crawling to its den I’m weak and weary, I’m broke again I feel empty crying with the ghosts Where’s the light here come shadows She’s gone away, now she’s ascending Please break me from this endless sleep Like a creature crawling to its den I’m weak and weary, I’m broke again I feel empty crying with the ghosts Where’s the light here come shadows Here they come, Cover me Cover me, Cover me… Please break me from this endless sleep Like a creature crawling to its den I’m weak and weary, I’m broke again I feel empty crying with the ghosts Where’s the light here come shadows Like a creature (4x) Break me, shake me Break me, shake me Pray for me, Pray for me From this endless sleep This nightmare, this nightmare

I can hear you shout All alone in the dark You cry away the hours I go, And I go What do you think I can do What do you think I can say To help you ease the pain It’s yours, It’s yours And you roll away lost in a daze standing in the rain Clench you teeth and shut your eyes wishing for some better days And broken beauty’s all that’s left and you pretend it’s all ok Come and breathe deep and let the water wash over your pretty face And I, have to go And you, you have control I can hear you shout All alone in the dark You cry away the hours I go, And I go What do you think I can do What do you think I can say To help you ease the pain It’s yours, It’s yours In the Silence of the night you can dry your tears Pick your head back up and let go of all those years Don’t be afraid of living life or what we call death Let your hearts desires run wild and then Take a chance Just Take A Chance

Well I’m not Peter Pann And I ain’t gonna take you to Neverland But follow my words if you think you can And prepare to receive the master plan Don’t walk aimlessly You’re another piece of history Another 1,000 years ain’t shit to me Just another chance for these eyes to see They want to kick me, They want to kiss me They won’t believe, Someday they’ll miss me I’m running round, This evil town Don’t be amazed When I Burn It Down Burn it down now, burn it down, burn it down Well this ain’t a fantasy You gotta show me something that’s real to me Your minds stuck in a world of false reality Bring down the walls and get a little BREAK FREE I’m in a new dimension No more mother fuckers looking for attention Light speed thinking brings a new perception Ten thousand miles to God’s reception They want to kick me, They want to kiss me They won’t believe, Someday they’ll miss me They’re dirty games, You’re dirty games That shit is driving me INSANE! And I will drive, Away from here Make this shit Disappear They will knock you down, ya get back up They will knock me down, I get back up They will knock you down, ya get back up They will knock me down, I get back up They will knock you down, ya get back up And WE WILL NOT STAY DOWN!

Here we go on a journey of our souls Walking through the valley of death I become whole Looking forward I see the light And I go Blind Confusion, Dilution, Disaster, is our master This is the state of the 21st Century How can it be… This is not me I come around and I go back again Searching for truth, in the darkness I get frightened I hear the echoes of my past… But they won’t last I am here, I am there I am nearly everywhere My mind runs, it runs so fast Has so many things to ask What we’re doing, what we’re told Is it truth, no, it’s getting old I can’t take this anymore Wanna put them on the floor On their ass, on their face Doesn’t matter just get outa place This is coming just in time Knock em down and free your mind Ecstasy, Enlighten me Give me, Immortality Here we go on a journey of our souls Walking through the valley of death I become whole Looking forward I see the light And I go Blind I go Blind Close your eyes Open your mind

about

The story of “Awaken” officially began in late 2010, heralding the arrival of Nostics’ unique sound on the Australian music scene. Born from a desire of guitarist Apache to create hard organic sounds with provocative lyrical content, close friend and lead guitarist Pilot was summoned and the ground themes were recorded. Now the search was on for the singer that would interpret the raw instrumentals and compliment them with a lyrical and melodic soundscape. A chance meeting on a Melbourne music video shoot between Apache and lead singer Chase and a merging of ideas ultimately let to a creative musical collaboration.

Drummer, Fox (of Lady Strangelove) and Bassist, El Pat (of Ice On Mercury) were invited as guest artists in prerecording sessions in an atmospheric 1800’s mansion on the coast of South Australia. What began as a musical experiment turned into an all-out intensive writing and recording session over 10 days, breathing life into 10 tracks which evolved into the base for Nostics’ debut LP. With greatly varied influences from the likes of Faith No More, The Doors, Linkin Park, Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Pearl Jam, Incubus, Tool, and more, there were plenty of ideas flying around that set the stage for the album “Awaken” to come to be.

2011 saw the current band lineup coming together: Chase (lead vocals), Apache (guitar), Pilot (lead guitar), Sandro (drums), and El Pat (bass). A creative medley of five individuals born in five different countries now sees the Nostics lineup completed. This year also brought a massive amount of pre recording and travel interstate to bring all the guys together to fine tune the music before hitting the studio. That time eventually came and they spent just over 5 weeks straight at Studio 52 in Melbourne recording the 14 tracks that have become “Awaken“.

2012 launches their debut LP after much anticipation and with tracks already sourced for various media, ripples have caused disturbance in the water!

This is just the beginning for Nostics, their debut video, Creature, by cinematographer Nima Nabilirad is out now and receiving screening on music programs nationwide. The single is available now through Bandcamp and iTunes.

The bands gig schedule has amped up and they are headlining numerous nights and events on the local circuit with word spreading and interest coming from interstate and internationally. The guys are already back in the studio working on some epic new tracks with a serious resonance of some true legends, yet permeating a unique palette. Momentum has taken hold, we invite you to open your mind and your ears, kick back and be swept up with the Nostics ride.
