Adore Manifesto

It’s about change and the power to change. It’s about metamorphosis and evolution. It’s about sticking to your guns and toughing it out. It’s about now, not tomorrow. It’s about recognizing your potential. It’s about self-doubt and inaction. It’s about you. It’s about me. It’s about you and me and the others. It’s about the choices we make. It’s about finding the poetry and avoiding the cliché. It’s about being the solution, not the problem. It’s about showing weakness to be strong. It’s about digging through your dirt to look for diamonds. It’s about claiming your right to think unacceptable thoughts. It’s about boredom and the things we do to drive it away. It’s about being on your own so you can be with people. It’s about knowing what it means to be human and what it might mean one day. It’s about the parts and the sum of the parts. It’s about the music and the message: together, one and the same. It’s about bass, guitars, drums, and vocals. It’s about opening-out and never, ever dying. But most of all it’s about love, every kind of love. Love is the answer. 

I AM HERE MANIFESTO

IN OUR MODERN WORLD, MAN ASSIDUOUSLY ABANDONS HIS LIFE TO PRACTICAL NECESSITIES AND HIS IMAGINATION TO SLAVERY. MANIPULATIONS AND FEARS – MANIPULATION BY FEAR – ARE METED OUT TO YOUNG, INTELLIGENT AND RADICAL PEOPLE WHO YIELD TO THE PRESSURE OF ACCEPTED PRACTICES AND MANY AGE-OLD SERVITUDES. THE ELDER GENERATION HASN’T COME TO WARN THEM: EACH OF THEM CAME TO TELL ABOUT THEMSELVES. EACH ONE TO TELL HOW THEY HAD EATEN, HOW THEY HAD SLEPT, HOW THEY HAD IMPORTANT ORGASMS, IMPORTANT CHILDHOODS AND DREAMS. BECAUSE AN HONEST LIFE IS ADVERTISED AS A LIFE OF SILENCE, NORMALITY AND DULL CONCEIT. ART IS STULTIFIED. LOVE A PRIVILEGE. AND IN THE VICINITY OF OUR MOST SPLENDID CREATIVE YOUTH, IT IS STRONGLY ADVICE TO KEEP OUR MOUTH SHUT IF WE WANT TO SUCCEED.

SAVAGES MANIFESTO #2:

SAVAGES is not trying to give you something you didn’t have already, it is calling within yourself something you buried ages ago, it is an attempt to reveal and reconnect your PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL self and give you the urge to experience your life differently, your girlfriends, your husbands, your jobs, your erotic life and the place music occupies in your life. Because we must teach ourselves new ways of POSITIVE MANIPULATIONS, music and words are aiming to strike like lightning, like a punch in the face, a determination to understand the WILL and DESIRES of the self.

This album is to be played loud in the foreground.

SAVAGES MANIFESTO #1:

SAVAGES’ INTENTION IS TO CREATE A SOUND, INDESTRUCTIBLE, MUSICALLY SOLID, WRITTEN FOR THE STAGE AND DESIGNED WITH ENOUGH NUANCES TO PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS. SAVAGES ARE A SELF-AFFIRMING VOICE TO HELP EXPERIENCE OUR GIRLFRIENDS DIFFERENTLY, OUR HUSBANDS, OUR JOBS, OUR EROTIC LIFE, AND THE PLACE MUSIC OCCUPIES INTO OUR LIVES. SAVAGES’ SONGS AIM TO REMIND US THAT HUMAN BEINGS HAVEN’T EVOLVED SO MUCH, THAT MUSIC CAN STILL BE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, EFFICIENT AND EXCITING.

The Answer

If you don't love me
You don't love anybody
If you don't love me
You don't love anybody
Ain't you glad it's you?
Ain't you glad it's you?
Ain't you glad it's you?

There are things I know we should
Better not do but I know you could
Sleep with me
And we'd still be friends
Or I know
I'll go insane

Love is the answer
I'll go insane
Love is the answer

Wish me luck
This was a hard year
And I can't see
No brighter future
Wish me luck
I saw the answer
It was a girl
Will you go ask her
I saw the answer
Will you go ask her
Love is the answer

I'll go insane
I'll go insane
I'll go insane
I'll go insane

Please stand up
What is the point
To cry for life
To cry about love
To wait for her
To wait for dying
I can't wait
I saw the answer
Will you go ask her?
Love is the answer
Will you go ask her

If you don't love me
You don't love anybody
If you don't love me
You don't love anybody
Ain't you glad it's you?
Ain't you glad it's you?
Ain't you glad it's you?

If you don't love me…

Evil

They will try to make you stay
Steal the peace away from you
Soak your actions in self doubt
If you don’t live the way they like

They’ll make you feel jealousy
Only one way to raise a family
Squeeze your brain till you forget
Why is it you’re so afraid

Stay Catholic
Stay pragmatic
Don’t try to change the way your parents did it
Believe all the lies
Don’t look at the thighs
Or they’ll poke out your eyes
Oh if you try

So don’t try to change
Don’t try to change
The way they made you
Don’t try to change
Don’t try to change
Or they will hurt you
They will break you down

They will try to reduce you
No matter, no matter what it takes
Just because I have you
Doesn’t mean they’ll give me their consent

So don’t try to change
Don’t try to change
The way they made you
Don’t try to change
Don’t try to change
What’s inside you
Don’t try to change
Don’t try to change
Or they will hurt you
They will hunt you
And they will break you down

Evil’s on the other side
I would never let you down
Evil’s on the other side
I would never let you down

Oh Evil
Evil
Evil
Evil
Evil

Sad Person

You are you are
A sad sad person
Always been
A sad sad person
It’s not that bad
You just take sadness for a ride
And question everything you do
You are never satisfied

Love is a disease
The strongest addiction I know
What happens in your brain
Is the same as a rush of cocaine

The more you have, the more you crave
Oh how I never managed
Such level of intensity yeah

I’m not gonna hurt you
Coz I’m flirting with you
I’m not gonna hurt myself
So what else, what else, what else

I want to know why I hesitate
To place myself above you
To please myself like a good girl
To face myself in the mirror
You want to know why I changed my mind
And when I did everything was fine
Sometimes the truth is right there right there
If you’re beautiful here you’re beautiful there

I am I am a sad sad person
Always been a sad sad person
What can I do

I’m not gonna hurt you
Coz I’m flirting with you
I’m not gonna hurt myself
So what else, what else, what else

I’m not gonna hurt you
I’m not gonna hurt myself
Coz I’m flirting with you
So what else, what else, what else
Look at me in the eyes
Look at me and decide
The truth is right here
Yeaaaah

I’m not gonna hurt you
Coz I’m flirting with you
I’m not gonna hurt myself
So what else, what else, what else

Adore

If only I didn’t want the world
I wouldn’t make you feel so sad
I’m sure my shame would be gone
Is it human to adore life

If only I’d hidden my lust
And starved a little bit more
If only I didn’t ask for more
Is it human to adore life

I adore life

If only I’d lived beyond regret
I wouldn’t feel guilt for what I take
Is it human to ask for more
Is it human to adore life

I know evil when I see it
I know good and I just do it
If I hadn’t been so starved
Is it human to adore life

I understand the urgency of life
In the distance there is truth which cuts
like a knife
Maybe I will die maybe tomorrow
So I need to say
I adore life

If only I had been more shy
And hid every tear I cried
If only I didn’t wish to die
Is it human to adore life

If only I didn’t care so much
For the feel of your cold cold touch
In every bed I leave behind
Is it human to adore life

I understand the urgency of life
In the distance there is truth which cuts like a knife
Maybe I will die maybe tomorrow
So I need to say

I adore life
I adore life
Do you adore life?

Slowing Down the World

I offer you someone
So you can do what you want
Only with true experience will the voice you speak be true
I offer you someone
To shape the world you like
Only with dark desires
Your nights will flame with fire

Is it for you I beg
Is it for you I pray
Is it for you I lay down anywhere

Something to be said about slowing down
the world

Bathed in the light that gave you
Important shadow
You were furious and petrified
Envious of their glow
Your eyes were moist with
the love they lost
You were all dressed up
with no place to go

Is it for you I serve
Is it for you I long
Is it for you the hours on my own

Something to be said about slowing down
the world

Is it for you I love
Is it for you I hide
Is it for you I leave someone behind

You are horny all the time
And darling its not a crime
Something to be said about slowing down the world

I Need Something New

I need something new in my ears
Something you could say perhaps
Or the words coming out of your mouth
Wouldn’t be something I’ve heard before

I need something new
I need something new
I need something new

How do you find the excitement
From such an empty space
I’m trying to meditate
I’m trying to recreate
The heart beat
The adrenaline

I need something new
I need something new
I need something new

You, you say it’s impossible
Trying to make things possible
I’m trying my best
To make it possible
Everyday yeah yeah
I’m kicking the wall
kicking the wall
Yeah I’m kicking the wall
I’m kicking the wall
Coz I need something new
I need something new
I need something new
I need something new
I do, I do, I do

You, you kept the door open
While on my hands and knees
The corridor was empty
And you were fucking me
I could feel the cold air
Coming inside the room
And I thought that was new
Yeah I thought that was something new

I need you, I need you, I need you,
I need something new
I need you, I need you,
I need something new
I need you, I need you,
I need something new

I need something new
And you do too

When In Love

Is it good
Is it bad
Things we do
When in love

Is it a demon
Or an angel
Holding us
When in love

Is it love
Or is it boredom
That took me up
To your bedroom

Is it love
Or something stupid
Was I feeling
All alone

When in love
When in love
When in love

Oh I hate your
Taste in music
You’re not the one
I’ve been waiting for
Chase you around
The tables
I want your fingers
Down my throat

Fear of drowning
Die of longing
Head is swirling
Hands are cold
Find excuses
After excuses
To stay longer
Than I should

When in love
When in love
When in love
When in love
I think I’m in love
This is love
You say you want love, yeah?
But what kind of love?

And if I leave you now forever
Would it be really forever
Coz next time I’m in the neighbourhood
I might be knocking at your door
I might be knocking at your door
I might be knocking at your door

Coz this is love
This is not boredom
That took me up
To your bedroom
This is love
It’s not a demon
That came knocking at your door

When in love
When in love
I think I’m in love
This is love
I’m in love
This is love

Surrender

Surrender
Walk on water
Come and be my muse
I hope to get used

Horses of pleasure
Ride them to the ether
Never suffer

Surrender
Surrender

Headlines in the press
The bridges are endless
Weightlessness
Vertigo
Climax on the go
What we do
And what we show

Surrender
Surrender

You wanna
You know her
You tell her
You love her

You wanna
You know her
You tell her
You want her

You wanna
You know her
You tell her
You love her

You wanna
You know her
You tell her
Surrender

Surrender
Surrender

T.I.W.Y.G.

This is what you get when you mess with love

This is what you get when you mess with love
A morning in darkness
The eyes of a storm
Suffering, straight from the gods
No medicine, no, no drugs

This is what you get when you mess with love

We gave you life to see if you’d disobey
Not interested in what we have to say
You mess with love when you go out tonight
Doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
All you want is that feeling again
When someone is camping in your head
Look right, look left, what a distress
I saw a No become a Yes

This is what you get when you mess with love
I mess with love, I mess with love
I mess with love, you mess with love

Look for adventure
To be free, why not me?
Stay down, crawl down
Don’t say you’re innocent
Or you’ll dry out like a raisin in the sun

Coz
This is what you get when you mess with love

I mess with love, I mess with love
I mess with love, you mess with love
I mess with love, you mess with love

MECHANICS

When I take a man
At my command
My love will stand
The test of time
When I take a man
Or a woman
They’re both the same
They’re both human

I want to learn
The touch of love
How you could burn
With just one touch
I want to know
The come and go
The mechanics
And know the tricks of love
The tricks of love

When I take a man
To sleep over
Pain and pleasure
Will touch my hand
And I will hold
What is untold
About my sex
And about porn

When I’m with you
I want to do
All the things that
I’ve never have done
When I take a man
At my command
My love will stand
The test of time
The test of time

Shut Up

Too many to convince
Too many to hire
And nothing you ever own
The world's a dead sorry hole
And I'm cold, and I'm cold
And I'm cold, and I'm stubborn
I'm sick and keep it open wide
And speaking words to the blind

Speaking words to the blind
Speaking words, oh

And the soul of the pure
And the eyes of the lover
And the one who truly saw your soul
And the one who truly saw your soul

I'm the one, who truly saw your soul
I'm the one, who truly saw your soul

And if you tell me to shut up
I would tell you to shut it
Did you tell me to shut up?
Oh if you tell me to shut it
I'll shut it now

Young, just born
Fragile and trembling soul
You hold it to the light
That pours down the moon at night
You kept on holding it
You kept on holding it
It was a dangerous thing to do
But you did it when no one knew
When the eyes were closed
And the people were asleep

Not and animal
Not a human
Not a soul
Not a soul

I Am Here

I am here
And there
At the same time
The world is with me
And you're coming for the ride
I am here
I won't hide
I am shouldering you
This is easy
This is not hard
Are you coming for the ride
Are you coming

I
Am
Here
I am here

I am here
No more fear
No more dark shadows
Let it come
Let me talk to you
See the face of your future
I don't wanna hide
Hear it calling you

I
Am
Here
I am here

I am here
I am here
I am here
I am here
I am here

City's Full

So many skinny pretty girls around
Honestly, I just wanna go down
Try to pretend there's nothing wild
Why do you treat yourself so bad

City's full of
City's full of
City's full of
Sissy pretty love

Your serious eyes dehumanize
What you wanted was never sad
Who blew the flames out of your eyes
Why do you treat yourself so bad

City's full of
City's full of
City's full of
Sissy pretty love yeah

City's full of, sissy pretty love yeah
City's full of, sissy pretty love,
Sissy pretty love
Sissy pretty love yeah

I love the stretch
marks on your thighs
I love the wrinkles
Around your eyes
I take you out darling
We dance all night
But when comes sunlight
You say
I'm going back home

City's full of, sissy pretty love yeah
City's full of, Sissy pretty love.
Sissy pretty love
Sissy pretty love yeah

Strife

They wonder how we do it
They ask me if I care
They wonder how come the years
Haven't sought more lover's tear

They question that it's true
A love which never wilts
And they must seek you there
Where furies smite young slits

And they must seek you there
Down in the strife
And they must seek you there
Where death out numbers life

And they have no idea
What we do at night
And how for you and I
The hour never strikes

They wonder how we do it
They wonder how come
How come I've been doing things with you
I would never tell my mum

And they must seek you there
Down in the strife
And they must seek you there
Where death outnumbers life

Waiting for a Sign

You don't like their manners
You don't like there face
You turn yourself away
From the man who madly drinks
Now you find your nights deeper
Without anyone else
Without anyone else around

Waiting for a sign
Waiting for a sign
Waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting

You introduced me to
Different kind of lovers
You told me to walk through
Different kind of tunnels
I guess love by nature
Suited to your face
Something hard to get
But easy to embrace

Waiting for a sign
Waiting for a sign
Waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting

Dead Nature

You chose your path, there's no return...
Life won't be the same again after this choice
Unless the gods forgive you, feel the eternal yearn...
Hopeless you remind forgotten ways with remorse

Embraced around your neck
Your mind is being taken by this lack

Don't smile; you're a dead nature now
Turn around; escaping from figures in black
Five petals from the rose of death
Hearts bleed, heads blow...

Before end comes and swallows what you were
Look into the sky, watch a gray rainbow rising up above
Before your servitude state be clear away like a blur
Recognise you'll be forevermore trapped like a dove

Chained around your neck
Your soul is being dragged by this lack
Someday you'll retreat in your ride
Too late, no one's by your side

Your fate was portrayed in this painting board
Just a little rose consumed by sad colors
Caught when tried so hard to raise and bloom
Couldn't reach the sunlight, life in gloom!

She Will

She will enter the room
she will enter the bed
she will talk like a friend
she will kiss like a man

she will forget her name
she will come back again
get hooked on loving hard
forcing the slut out

you got to get used to it
give your heart a little kick
coz she will, she will, she will

she will open her heart
she will open her lips
she will choose to ignite
and never to extinguish

she will forget her pain
she will come back again
get hooked on loving hard
forcing the slut out

you got to get used to it
give your heart a little kick
coz she will, she will, she will...

No Face

Different shapes, on your face
Which one is your true self
Safe sex, safe smile
Waiting for the day you cry

Coz you have no face, you have no face
You, have, No Face
You have no face, you have no face
You, have, no, face

Repeat every word I say
Miming another boring day
I have better things to do
Now you're here I must get rid of you

Coz you have no face, you have no face
You have, No face
You have no Face, you have no face
You, have, no face

You argue everything
Like a bird, who's never learn to sing
Oh darling, are you free when doubt
Oh darling, don't worry about,
Breaking my heart

Don't worry about
Breaking my heart
Don't worry about
Breaking my heart

Don't worry about breaking my heart
Far bigger things will fall apart
Don't worry about breaking my heart
Oh Darling, are you free when you doubt

Don't worry about
Breaking my heart
Don't worry about
Breaking my heart

Coz you have no face, you have no face
You. have. no face
You have no face, you have no face
You, have, no face

Hit Me

Oh tell me
Tell me I'm miserable now
Oh cherie, can you tell me
I took a beating tonight
And that's was the best I ever had

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Help me, will you help me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Hit me, will you hit me now

I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight

Oh hit me
Hit me with your hands
Oh its the only way I ever learn
Oh if hell is
If hell is a dog fight

I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

Husbands

I woke up and I saw the face of a guy
I don't know who he was he had no eyes
His presence made me feel Ill at ease
His presence made me feel, Oh ill at ease

He sung the final hour
He sung the final hour of my sleep
Oh God I wanna get rid of it
Oh God I wanna get, get rid of it it it

My house
My Bed
My husbands, husbands, husbands...

Was he standing here all along
When my eyes were closed and my mouth went numb
Does he know me very well
Will he talk in the dark will I see him again

He sung the final hour
He sung the final hour of my sleep
Oh God I wanna get rid of it
Oh God I wanna get, get rid of it it it

My House
My Bed
My husbands, husbands, husbands

My room
My life
My husbands, husbands, husbands

Marshal Dear

I hope you're breathing your last breath
Of Marshall Dear
And you will die, you will die soon
I give you a quarter of an hour
Oh Marshall Dear
Can't you see I'm winning

Can you hear me now
Silence yourself
Silence yourself
Silence yourself
Silence yourself

There are suicides in every dreams
Oh Marshal dear
Even more when the army's on its knees
Crowds grow crazy and fire
Of Marshall dear
Can't you see we're losing

Can you see them now
Silence yourself
Silence yourself
