Don’t waste your time
Trying to change your life
‘Cause no matter what you choose
We’re all just heading for
Those midatlantic blues
I know you had your plans
Don’t you know I had plans too
But we’re not in control
Of this rollercoaster cruise
We’re endlessly at sea
With nothing good to do
And nothing else for miles around
Only midatlantic blues
It's peaceful up on deck
Watching unobstructed views
Taking in the ocean air
Wearing someone else's shoes
But for just one moonlit moment
I could swear that something moved
In the distance, in the depths
Of those midatlantic blues
A sudden lurching feeling
An announcement from the crew
They say we’re going down
And it’s gonna happen soon
The ship’s already sinking
And panic’s spreading through
But the band still keep on playing
The midatlantic blues
Tomorrow we’ll be gone
And soon forgotten too
But perhaps for fifteen minutes
They’ll see us on the news
On a billion brilliant screens
In such vivid lifelike hues
Orange flames, scarlet blood,
And those midatlantic blues

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
Heavy alt-rock riffage with elements of industrial and tech-metal and a cinematic scope from New Jersey trio Return to Earth. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 22, 2022
