June 31 03:34
Hey, you little ghost You're running towards me But I know that you ain't real I know that you ain't real I walked upon a stadium I heard a cheering crowd But I know that it ain't real I know that it ain't real I saw a farting lady And a guy in rabit's suit O God, it can't be real No, it can't be real

Funeral 02:58
My friends, they all have gathered And everyone's polite And I wonder If my cousin's dressed in white I can hear somebody's talking I can hear somebody cries I guess it's natural When somebody dies Welcome to my funeral Come on in and have no fear 'Cause I'm just lying, I'm lying here You can bring me flowers Though I prefer red wine And choir Just sung "Sweet Child o'Mine" I can see them smiling sadly I can see my drinking guys I guess it's natural When one of them finally dies

Andalusia 03:36
Your fingertips They slide through my hair Your lovely tricks Run through my head I feel a guilt For my joyfulness I feel a guilt For not sharing it I'm burning out without your love I'm getting out for another drink I'm getting out to get dizzy Like we were then. I wanna build another world The world that's build of million you I's gonna be a place With no shadows beneath me We're ona giddy road That takes us back home Don't wanna be left All alone I wanna fall Asleep as a child But I wanna feel Your breath on my neck I'm burning out without your love I'm getting out for another drink I'm getting out to get dizzy Like we were then. I wanna build another world The world that's build of million you I's gonna be a place With no shadows beneath me

Billy Jean 03:44
She was more like a beauty queen From a movie scene I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round?" She said I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round She told me her name was Billie Jean As she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round People always told me, "Be careful of what you do. And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts." And mother always told me, "A-be careful of who you love, And be careful of what you do 'Cause the lie becomes the truth." Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one But the kid is not my son For forty days and for forty nights Law was on her side But who can stand When she's in demand Her schemes and plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round So take my strong advice Just remember to always think twice (Do think twice, do think twice.) She told, "My baby, we'd danced 'til three." Then she looked at me Then showed a photo of a baby cry His eyes looked like mine, oh, no Do a dance on the floor in the round, baby A-people always told me, "Be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts." (Don't break no heart.) A-but she came and stood right by me And just the smell of sweet perfume And this happened much too soon And she called me to her room Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son (No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.) Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one But the kid is not my son No, no, no Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (No, there's not me, baby.) But the kid is not my son (No, no, no, no, no, no, no.) She says I am the one (No, babe.) But the kid is not my son, no, no, no She says I am the one You know what you did She says he is my son Breaking my heart, babe She says I am the one Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover She is the one Billie Jean is not my lover She is the one Don't call me Billie Jean She is the one Billie Jean is not my lover She is the one Billie Jean is not my lover

People say that I'm lazy But I'm just not in a mood to move I might take a little action later today But right now I'm not in a mood to move I drain my brain and try to think twice But all I can think of is chicken and rice Maybe a depression is an honourable guest Next part of the song will tell you the rest This is the dumbest song in the world Just listen carefully to every word There is no meaning, no secret messages Next part of the song will tell you the rest I dreamed of unicorn that night A lonely unicorn that night That night That night

Oh, good old friend I think you had enough I think you had enough Oh, I think you had enough You're acting weird You have a salmon in your beard I think you had enough Oh, I think you had enough Let them fly up in my sky Let them fly up in my sky 'Cause I want to see If they know what they're doing Oh, good old friend I think you had enough I think you had enough Oh, I think you had enough Oh, good old friend I think your birds ar waking up I think they're waking up Oh, I think they're waking up Let them fly up in my sky Let them fly up in my sky 'Cause I want to see If they know what they're doing

Sacred Tune 03:17
Like a hunted prey Hides a sacred tune Between river waves And two trusting minds I knew I'll never stop Until I find it I drowned my father's sins And set my liver free I pretended I'm falling It's a heartracing skill I knew I'll never stop Until I find it I knew I'll never stop Until I find it I knew I'll never cry Until I find it I knew I'll never stop Until I find it I knew I'll never cry Until I find it I know I'll never stop Because I found it I know I'll never stop Because I found it I know I'll never cry Because I found it I know I'll never stop Because I found it I know I'll never cry Because I found it

Poet 03:16
He was tired of breathing in a story of love Mysterious novel and reality show On newspaper pages that glorify war On newspaper pages that glorify war One part of the bookshelf made his conscience go dark He was turning the pages, 'til he was back to the start He was running through the chapters just to find out the truth He was running through the chapters just to find out the truth And the poet turned into the writer of truth Into the writer that writes about us And the poet turned into the writer of truth Into the writer that writes about us He was tearing the pages, he was tearing them out He was burning his poems, 'til the rhymes were all gone He shook a hand of Devil and promised to serve He shook a hand of Devil and promised to serve

Childhood 04:18
This is a place where as a child I learned to walk And in these walls I was taught to talk I still remember, winters were so cold But in the summer sun was shining like a gold I'm gonna leave I'm gonna leave it all behind 'Cause I'm going to the world Where people are blind This is a place where I had my first fight And in these mountains I could roam all night And in these clouds my dreams could fly so high This is a place where I would like to die I'm gonna leave I'm gonna leave it all behind 'Cause I'm going to the world Where people are blind

I'm On Fire 02:32
Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone? Mhmm I got a bad desire Oh, I'm on fire Tell me now baby is he good to you And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no I can take you higher Oh, I'm on fire Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet And a freight train running through the middle of my head Only you, can cool my desire Oh, I'm on fire Oh, I'm on fire Oh, I'm on fire
11.
Black Cat 05:23
I was a dreamer But my dreams got the best of me I was a sinner But my sins almost drowned me I'm gonna hang in my head for a while I'm gonna hang in my head for a while I'm gonna hang in my head for a while Until it's safe to come out in the light There's a black cat moaning in my head He's hungry for my pain He's gonna scream, gonna squeak, gonna yell 'Till he's feeding on my brain I couldn't stop these whores That they call dreams They kept crawling with desires But now the black cat is dead, the black cat is dead With its funny, little bones I'm gonna hang in my head for a while I'm gonna hang in my head for a while I'm gonna hang in my head for a while Until it's safe to come out in the light

Prisoner 01:53
/Poem by Alexander Pushkin/ Сижу за решеткой в темнице сырой. Вскормленный в неволе орел молодой, Мой грустный товарищ, махая крылом, Кровавую пищу клюет под окном, Клюет, и бросает, и смотрит в окно, Как будто со мною задумал одно. Зовет меня взглядом и криком своим И вымолвить хочет: «Давай улетим! Мы вольные птицы; пора, брат, пора! Туда, где за тучей белеет гора, Туда, где синеют морские края, Туда, где гуляем лишь ветер... да я!...»

about

Kristaps Bakis Latvia

I've always thought that music is a three-dimensional thing.
I guess, I could even depict it on three axis mathematically.
