Mantraps 03:10
loop within a loop and life within a life and dream within a dream within a ring that circles round the spiral round the ring this color fits you real good these goods are coloured new black circling around and living life within a dream and dream in circles of the spirals that are spiralling around the ring nice you are so nice and you are pretty in this colour that is coloured like another colour that’s another shade of fucking grey mantraps made of copper wire silhouettes and whispers wounds and open fire never ending mornings righteous men and liars flowers are to wither lust and dark desires sordid mess mantraps mantraps mantraps mantraps

Whatever 05:06
come inside please take a seat we haven’t talked for a long long time finally you may feel yourself free from your body and from your mind holy god I feel that you shiver you’re not used to having no skin I believe you are non-believer so you don’t see whatever is real whatever stands behind whatever casts a shadow whatever makes you feel fright whatever rocks the trees whatever gets you anxious whatever whispers at nights I would love to have honest talk but you don’t know a thing about honesty there are doors you’d love to keep locked but nothing can be locked for eternity I don’t really care what’s your excuse for pretending to be blind, deaf and dumb there be pain until you refuse the whatever… comes to your mind whatever stands behind whatever casts a shadow whatever makes you feel fright whatever rocks the trees whatever rocked your cradle whatever whispers at nights whatever whatever whatever casts a shadow whatever whatever

Ladders 04:24
these letters don’t feel right these ladders don’t feel safe you want to hold me tight but can’t you see I’m not okay performing our last rites under the skies of black and as our cities burn we won’t be ever coming back I crawl on seven legs I pierce the frozen soil I turn life into mud I turn mud into oil I drain the rivers dry I paint all colors grey the hatred is my fuel extinction is my name I don’t feel right I don’t feel safe the skies are black I’m not okay I don’t feel right I don’t feel safe our cities burn you see I’m not ok these letters don’t feel right these ladders don’t feel safe you want to hold me tight but can’t you see I’m not okay performing our last rites under the skies of black and as our cities burn we won’t be ever coming back these ladders don’t feel safe these ladders don’t feel safe these ladders don’t feel safe (don't feel so fucking safe)

Lightless 07:20
the void has never shined so bright I tried to force myself to live it felt like walls and ceiling grabbed and squeezed me tight and once again I failed to breathe darkest hours and lightless years shaking hands and making deals broken lives and fallen leaves please just don’t forget to breathe I’ve seen your image on the wall I couldn’t help but giving in the agonising seconds always seem to long for hundred million lightless years darkest hours and lightless years shaking hands and making deals broken lives and fallen leaves please just don’t forget to breathe shaking their hands making the deals covering heads and nobody got stealed swearing to god not to make a mistake meeting ourselves on a silver lake

“Totalschaden” in German means “broken beyond repair” while “Schade” translates to “sorry” or “pity”. The blended word might be understood as “completely sorry”. This play on words aptly describes our sentiments about the world today. Outrageous acts of violence driven by hatred, ignorance, intolerance, and greed, terrible cases of human rights violations, social injustice manifesting itself in an enormous class divide and growing poverty, irreversible damage humanity is causing to the planet, climate change and the extinction of species — these are just a few things that give us anxiety, the feeling of how fragile our world is and how uncertain our future is. Sometimes these emotions make us want to scream, and that is what “Totalschade” is born from.

about

Berliner Lvft Berlin, Germany

In the gutters of Berlin there's a band that howls like a banshee in the night. Berliner Lvft, they call themselves, and they're a motley crew of misfits who live to drink and get high. Four weirdos who make the devil's music with aluminum neck guitars and strange tunings that would make your ears bleed. A raw, unfiltered energy that shakes you to your core and leaves you gasping for air. ... more
