Ocean 05:28
i stand above the dirty floor and try to close my eyes i want to breathe the ocean but then i realize i stand above the dirty floor and try to close my eyes i want to breathe the ocean breeze but then i realize its only lies i step outside my empty room and dream of lust and love i wait for this for ever but now i realize watching the days go by i see my life is disappeared watching the days go by watching me wave goodbye watching the days go by i see my life is disappeared watching the days go by watching me wave goodbye i stand above the dirty floor and try to close my eyes i want to breathe the ocean but then i realize i step outside my empty room and dream of lust and love i wait for this for ever but now i realize its only lies watching the days go by i see my life is disappeared watching the days go by watching me wave goodbye watching the days go by i see my life is disappeared watching the days go by watching me wave goodbye

I never said the words I always had in mind I know it’s kind of sad We never said goodbye i never wanted this to keep me far away I’d kill to hold your hand, you know even just for today and be with you for a last time i crawl inside my room inside my empty bed i couldn’t love you more i know, the vicious circle game i never saw you cry i never touched your heart the distance in between was always out of touch and now i wait for you to give me one last sign to get inside of you, i know for one final night and be with you for the last time i crawl inside my room inside my empty bed i couldn’t love you more i know, the vicious circle game i crawl inside my room inside my empty bed i couldn’t love you more i know, the vicious circle game

In Silence 03:22
i know the time is getting late and everything you want to say it's getting meaningless right now and so irrelevant with this 'cause everything you ever did and everything you ever said smells like the perfume of my sins that all they offer me is pain so, leave in silence leave me in silence for once more keep me in silence leave me in silence silence, silence I know the time is getting late and you should better go to sleep I think you better close your eyes than tell your story piece by piece 'cause everything you ever did and everything you ever said could fly away with a kiss but all you offer me is pain so, leave in silence leave me in silence for once more keep me in silence leave me in silence silence, silence leave me in silence for once more leave me in silence silence, silence
4.
Give me a reason to break my silence or a reason to return don’t say you’re sorry or that you ‘ll miss me don’t say that this pain never ends I know that you feel just the way i do I know that i feel empty without you but leaving is my way to breathe Give me a reason to start pretending will it always be the same? don’t say i am loosing the ground i am standing I would do that anyway It’s time for me to dive deep inside the sea Maybe i ‘ll get drown maybe ill get free But leaving is my way to breathe Leaving is my way to breathe Leaving is my way to breathe Give me a reason to break my silence or a reason to return don’t say you’re sorry or that you ‘ll miss me don’t say that this pain never ends I know that you feel just the way i do I know that i feel empty without you but leaving is my way to breathe Leaving is my way to breathe Leaving is my way to breathe Leaving is my way to breathe

Before the sun comes down and moon will take control before the night is dark and under this impossible sky before the days are cold and winter bring us down before the rain will fall why don’t you close your blurry eyes and try to leave it all behind and then we… Die in Summer die in Summer with me die in Summer die in Summer with me this is the time that the soul and the feelings collapse this is the time that i want to die with you in summer die in summer with me and when i know that the time by your side is gone all that i ask is to sleep forever with you, in summer die in summer with me Now that the days are worm and stars are shining bright Now that we still feel young why don’t we leave this all behind incurable and lost unbearable to breathe its time to ask you why why don’t we hold our breath just for a while and take off all our clothes and start to smile and then we… Die in summer die in Summer with me die in summer die in Summer with me this is the time that the soul and the feelings collapse this is the time that i want to die with you in summer die in summer with me and when i know that the time by your side is gone all that i ask is to sleep forever with you, in summer die in Summer with me this is the time that the soul and the feelings collapse this is the time that i want to die with you in summer die in summer die in summer with me

Fall 04:24
There was a moment on a Saturday night that he was waiting in the freezing cold there was the flashing of the Saturday lights just like before It was a moment on a Saturday night while he was standing by the Berlin wall it was the flashing of the Saturday lights one by one a boy trapped in a hole i see him going down again never felt this way before but i remember, remember But now its Sunday and I am still alone my ruins of a wasted youth and every time i fall is because i think of you There is a moment on a Saturday night i see him standing by the Berlin wall it is the flashing of the Saturday lights these are my weapons, this is my war this is the moment of the Saturday night that i will make a promise to myself this is the flashing of the Saturday lights one by one a boy trapped in a hole i see him going down again never felt this way before but i remember, remember But now it’s Sunday and I am still alone my ruins of a wasted youth and overtime i fall is because i think of you But now it’s Sunday and I am still alone my ruins of a wasted youth and every time i fall is because i think of you my gap between the days the flags upon our heads the broken pieces of my heart dogs shivering in beds I’ve got a secret i will never tell a sacred flower lives inside of me and every time i crash against the wall it always sets me free But now its Sunday and I am still alone my ruins of a wasted youth and every time i fall is because i think of you is because i think of you is because i think of you

Sometimes 03:46
Sounds are deep in the night i can’t hear anymore whispers replaced your voice and i can’t hear anymore Until the signal is lost and there is no one to talk and there is no one close to hold you tight Sometimes Sometimes your feelings are gone and there is nothing but fear sometimes you need a place away from here Sometimes you feel that you're lost and you wish to disappear on a place away, on a place away from here Follow my lead to bring you back to life to make you see the difference between the truth and the lie Life is a wasting disease drives us into the void shaken up and leave us here like a broken toy Until the signal is lost and there is no one to talk and there is no one close to hold you tight Sometimes Sometimes your feelings are gone and there is nothing but fear sometimes you need a place away from here Sometimes Sometimes you feel that you're lost and you wish to disappear on a place away, on a place away from here As the years go by i feel it in my heart i feel it in my soul and i can't make it move you always hold a knife curve scars upon my face curve scars inside my heart curve scars inside my heart Sometimes Sometimes your feelings are gone and there is nothing but fear sometimes you need a place away from here Sometimes Sometimes you feel that you're lost and you wish to disappear on a place away, on a place away from here

Calling you again before i reach the final end i knew you wouldn’t answer anyway i try to make you understand there is too much trouble in my head please someone make this nonsense go away calling you again just like they do the crooked men i hope that you would answer it this time i try to make you understand I couldn’t take you by the hand I must convince myself as well this time i have to find a crack into this wall or make it somehow go away i have to get a kick out of this hole and set my troubled spirit free let me be angel let me touch the sky Calling you again before i reach the final end i knew you wouldn’t answer anyway i try to make you understand there's no beginning there's no end please someone make this nonsense go away i have to find a crack into this wall or make it somehow go away i have to get a kick out of this hole and set my troubled spirit free i have to find a crack into this wall or make it somehow go away i have to get a kick out of this hole and set my troubled spirit free let me be angel let me be angel let me touch the sky

about

Cinemascope - a crack on the wall (wave records / 2022)

There have been eight years since Cinemascope released their debut album (stains of love / wave records). Eight years that brought a lots of personal changes, new experiences and a pandemic that besides all the tragedy that brings, it offered the band some time to slow down for a while and give shape to the eight new songs of the brand new album “a crack on the wall”. Songs overflowing with melancholy, betrayal, and self disappointment. But, this is not all about doom and gloom, since there is a strong urge to find this crack on the wall that might leave a slight ray of light coming in.

On “a crack on the wall”, cinemascope attempt to write the perfect pop song dressed in a black velvet dress. Starting with “ocean” that brings in mind the early clan of xymox days and talks about the world collapsing and just watching and do nothing. An alternative soundtrack for the fight club’s final scene? Could be… The post punk “vicious circle game” is about love affairs that are condemned. The first single “in silence” is a powerful goth song that fancies to stand between the Sisters and She Past Away, on a dark dancefloor. On “Leaving is my way to leave” the dance mood is getting an ethereal touch, while the lyrics are dragging you away from anything and anyone you love, seeking happiness while punishing yourself. “Die in Summer” is a teenage suicide indie / wave / pop song on the spirit of “I melt with you” or “just like heaven”, while “fall”which contains some of the rare political references the band brings out, takes you back to post punk roots. “Sometimes” brings some catchy synthpop elements on the surface just before the closing track “let me be angel” comes in and deep dive to a disintegrated optimistic death feeling.

Cinemascope is Leo Skiadas, who composes the songs, writes and vocalize the lyrics, and plays the instruments. But, If you feel that “A crack on the wall” has a more impressive guitar sound than Cinemascope’s previous works, thats because this time, the guitars are performed by the great Johnny Papaioannou, one of the greatest alternative musicians in Greece. That’s the first time that someone “intrudes” on the cinemascope moniker and one of the best decisions that the band ever made.

Influenced by iconic 80’s bands like The Cure, The Chameleons and Clan of Xymox and more recent sweethearts like Drab Majesty and Actors, Cinemascope are back in town with eight songs, that consist a darkwave / indie masterpiece that is here to play with your heart and soul.

Out soon on vinyl / cd / digital from wave records.
