Pieces 01:55
lyrics
“We come in pieces” The message goes The message reads The message shows We’re finally here But you are not there We’re finally free But you just don’t care We’re taking our time You’ve passed out again In front of your screen Blaming a friend And while we descent The smoke turns to flames And there’s no escape True reasons are faced (We all come tonight) You folks got your rest The probes were all dropped The rest was a test We come in pieces We come in pieces We come too late We come in pieces We’re all in pieces We’re all too late

Jackal 03:47
lyrics
The jackal sleeps alone With many years to follow The jackal stands alone With many scars to wear And many things to see The jackal takes the blame With many ways to be The jackal stays the same Taking time off from the amusement park Just a grin away from the amusement park West of the timeline The rest is just a lie The jackal sleeps alone With nothing more to say

Greet 01:40
lyrics
You sway like a comet Away from the doom You killed all your ghosts But it was over too soon ‘Cause sometimes it’s empty And sometimes too long But then sometimes you see it Coming along Even if you are ageing It’s coming along Now you’re greeting the sunrise You’re greeting it all You’re greeting your future You’re greeting your fall You’re greeting your fall

Sunburn 02:44
lyrics
At the party they stay Couldn’t ever betray The crowd having fun Getting burned by the sun Slipping away with the days of summer Melting away all before the cold Carelessly wasting their days of summer Melting away as they’re getting old And this festival is so medieval When you look at it from the above No sense at all as the future crawls Pulling the rug from under someone’s soul Waiting for the fall Under the melting sun they’re dancing Waiting for that one last call Under the melting sun embracing One more ray One more ray Slipping away with the days of summer Melting away all before the cold Once again Once again One more ray One more ray Getting a sunburn Getting a sunburn Peeling off a sunburn Peeling off a sunburn

Mirage 03:36
lyrics
Like the city on the water Getting closer as we’re farther Away from ourselves We’ll leave it to chance Like the shadows getting lighter As we’re running to asylum Away from ourselves We’ll leave it to chance Maybe take our last breath Tonight We’re over the top Scratching away we’re longing to lose Everything that we’ve got Naked like babies, needing our ladies We’ll never stop Until we’re immune to this virus that’s taking us Over the top We’re sure to be facing that peak when we finally Drop We wanna state it was all in the breaks (Like the city on the water) The cars we drove took us further above (Getting closer as we’re farther) The machines let us down ‘Cause we were the clowns Sadly stalling The unavoidable Calling Now we’ll wait And wait To break out One day We’ll break out But tonight We’re over the top Like the mirror getting shattered (Like the city on the water getting closer) By the earthquake trembling farther (Like the sunshine’s dimming color) Away from ourselves We’ll leave it to chance Like the sermon in the distance (Like the shadows getting lighter as we’re running) All the echoes in our systems (Like the city on the water) Away from ourselves We’ll take the last chance Like the sunshine’s dimming color (Like the mirror getting shattered by the earthquake) Getting colder by the hour (Like the shadows getting lighter) Away from ourselves We’ll leave it to chance Maybe take our last breath Tonight

Invasion 04:17
lyrics
You gotta be kiddin’ me Those kids were just playing You gotta be shittin’ me Those kids were just playing The bitterest pill of them all We jokingly swallowed When they crammed us behind our closed doors We tried to be funny And with every single hand that we shook We were sealing our destiny Will we rise And finally answer our invader? Should we fight Or should we get ready for the next world? Can we see When most of our eyes are now being bought? Will we stop And finally look at our invader? Will we find Will we find answers before we’re caught? Or will we crawl End up all victims of felony? Could we rise To the occasion and all die free? Could we stop Could we take over our invader? But this This is not a movie This Is not a dream As we pan Over the sea shore We rise Beyond the trees We climb The highest mountain Turn to the stream Where all the jackals meet As we rise Beyond the sunshine

New Year 02:46
lyrics
Girl, you got me dancing Girl, you got me groovin’ You spray me with your star dust On January the 16th Girl, you got me dreaming And my heart is pumping Now I’m a believer It’s January the 16th I should prepare for your grand betrayal I should get ready for the hellish payoff I should be trusting that I shouldn’t trust you But fuck you got me going On January the 16th I got my eyes wide open On January the 16th It looks like it’s a good year Pretty soon you’re gonna get me movin’ Pretty soon there’s gonna be a rupture Pretty soon my scars will grow in number Pretty soon I’m gonna need a suture But girl now we are kissing It feels like it’s forever Love becomes our shelter On January the 16th Fuck, this taxi will take me nowhere Once again into the shadows It’s ironic ‘cause I’m iconic Real moronic my fucking lifestyle But girl, you got me dancing Girl, you got me groovin’ I could swear you are my soul mate On January the 16th A vagabond with a death wish, maybe I will spend this year away and Probably remember someday That January when you got me, baby

Forget About Me 01:58
lyrics
I don’t know who you kissin’ I don’t know who you missin’ I don’t care of the trouble When you keep seeing double I don’t care of you daddy I don’t think you are happy I don’t need your compassion I don’t want your distraction Honey, you’ve smoked your soul You can’t even ignore You imagine it all And while you think you’re in control After all You forget about me I don’t think you are funny You’re a slave to his money I don’t need your compassion I don’t want the distraction I don’t know who you kissin’ I don’t care who you missin’ I don’t know of your trouble You should just forget about me That’s right Evidently Foul play All in all You should forget about me

The Beast 02:15
lyrics
You played so much you lost the game You only got yourself to blame You played with beasts but now they bite Oh child, you could’ve done much better You played with love, but now you see You’ve made an enemy of me ‘Cause tricks are just for fucking cowards And you’re weak And I can smell your fear Turning straight into a housewife Baby you’re just missing life Killing everything inside Babe, you haven’t even tried I feel pity for you But there’s nothing I can do Dice are thrown Dice are thrown But it’s haunting me, baby That you’re too blind to see You’re not free And you’re not foolin’ me You’re not foolin’ me
11.
Chase 02:27
lyrics
Hoping that you would come Hoping that you would come Hoping that you would come Hoping that you would come Hoping that you could see Hoping that you could see There’s still traces of you in me And just maybe you still miss me ‘Cause everything we do is wrong Everything we do is wrong Everything we do is wrong Love is just another misread Love is just another misread Love is just a miss Love is just a mist Love is just another misread Love is just another misread Love is just a miss Hoping that you would come Hoping that you would come Hoping that you would come Baby, wouldn’t you see It’s always been misleading
12.
Mess 02:31
lyrics
Oh, baby, I’m a mess As you wear that summer dress I’m a dubious success As I try to fix my mess I don’t even know why I’m here I used the staircase ‘Cause baby you’re a mess And you’re causing my distress You got me in a state of mind Where it don’t matter if I’m dead or alive now No joy in this serious place There is no showdown Here comes the countdown You know I won’t really make it too far Here goes the countdown Ten seconds is all that it takes Until this year just burns and fades We used to be such a beautiful waste None of this mess could ever erase I fit the whole world in my suitcase I fit my life inside a box There is no showdown This is my rundown Oh, baby, I’m a mess I’m a dubious success And you’re causing my distress As I try to clean this mess

Overture (33) 02:49
lyrics
Here I am on a train In the New York rain Thirty three Suddenly Thinking maybe When can I begin to change In this dark and senseless age When I think about what I might do If they all lose me out of sight Might as well Keep on course Tonight So I’ll just have to fight with dirty guns Just one way to set the score While I play this fake and pointless role Where do I begin? How am I the same? What do I believe? The overture is shame Where do I begin? Why am I the same? Meanwhile New York’s home again Everything was done and said tonight Everything was done and said tonight Everything was done and dreamt tonight Everything was done and felt tonight

The Finish Line 05:11
lyrics
She took off screaming There was no going back That same day she had smoked an entire pack She found no joy She had a feeling that the rain would come But it never did and the overcoat felt long Her heart was soaked And as she stepped into the airport lounge A song played backwards and a scary sound Kept lurking on But we always made it to the finish line We always made it to the finish line Except one time Yes, we always made it to the finish line We always made it to the finish line Except that time Explosions in the ceiling (Explosions) As all her days were leaving (Implosions) How could this happen one more time? Despite all planned precaution (Resentment) Nothing could help the motion (Disturbing) The guilt of an unspoken crime And now she’s looking through her purse A missing thought dissolves And now she’s looking through her purse A missing thought dissolves Not to return Not to return How stupid can this be Some old receipt got stuck beneath the papers that the lawyer brought at home (Not to return) How stupid this might look Well, people look like animals sometimes As they’re preying through their love They’re preying through their love Not worthy of All the attention they might get The ego trips They love so much (She’s moving on Not to return) And one more thing she could’ve said Right then and there to mark the end With punchline strength The irony The irony The irony The irony We always made it to the finish line We made it to the finish line We made it to the finish line We made it to the finish line We made it to the finish line To the finish line we made it To the finish line we made it To the finish line we made it To the finish line we made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always made it We always

about

A broken universe. Space invaders arrive too late, and in pieces. Jackals witness the downfall of human life while they greet the sunrise. The participants at a festival get sunburns. A mirage occurs. The invasion happens. Luca the Cat toe walks into the night. A bunch of found songs about lost love are heard into the radio of the abyss. On January the 16th it seemed it was a good year. Unrequited love asks for forgetfulness. The beast roars, abandoning its chase but then remembering it, which turns into a mess. The long lost memory of an afternoon in New York at 33. A long trip to the airport with tragic consequences. The finish line.

"Pieces" is a surreal concept album, consisting of home recorded songs by Peca Stefan, between 2015 and 2019. This is lo-fi so use earphones to enjoy it best! Peace.

P.S. The bonus track "The Villain" is included with the album purchase.
