Blue Strike – Chabliz
Verse:
Some night
We just sat there gathered together
Inside this squatted house
Dark clouds packed above us all together
Inside this squat
The fire
Kept us warm together
Bricks were thick and bold together
Black suits made us heroes
And we tried
This night
Had a dream about this building
We were standing on the roof
All my old friends packed up on this building
Severe and cold it was
Coffee, piles of bread at tables
Scanners, smoke and chats together
Paint and bricks and fire
We would defend this building
Chorus:
Blue strike, you appeared to me,
I know that at this moment you are dying ’cause we lost
Your bricks are falling
Tear you down, you’re down
Blue strike, I wasn’t there for a long time but in my dream we were there all because they won
Your bricks are fallin’
Tear you down, you’re down
Organ solo
My friends,
We grew up your arms were warm but couldn’t hold us
We had to carry on
You were standing there we saw you often
Strong and firm
We had to
Achieve things for ourselves
Tried not to betray your values
Our thoughts only warm about you
We were born from….
Chorus 2x

Don´t Believe
If you ever meet a man like mine
Don’t expect too much
He’s gonna break your heart anyway
No matter what you do
Chorus:
Don’t believe a word of what he tells you
‘Cause the words he tells you ain’t true
Don’t believe it, don’t believe it
No matter what you do
And whatever he may do to me
And tell me even if it’s lies
And even if he’s cheatin’ on me
‘Cause he can’t hide his disguise
Chorus.
Verse:
But whatever he may do to me
And tell me even if it’s lies
He’s the number one in my life
And I always gonna love him
Chorus

When Sirens Call
Chorus:
They call you
They call you
They call you
And you have to go 2x
There’s no way to avoid them
You’re slipping away
But violence will hold them
There’s no one who dares
Chorus
There’s a way to avoid them
Tie yourself to the mast
Shout down their voices
Don’t listen to them
Couplet:
I ‘ve lost some friends to the singin’ sirens
Perhaps I had to intervene with violence
Dragged you against your will into the rehab
You would still be with us if I had done that
We let you go
We didn’t know
That you were damned by the sirens
We should have known but could not face it
Truth was worse than our hope
Chorus ( They call you….)
Couplet 2:
I knew a man who knew that he was dying
For weeks he lied down coupled to machines
His family didn’t want to let him know
They couldn’t face what he already knew
The sirens called him
He was lost and gone
But for his dears he stayed a little longer
He appeared in his daughters dream
And told her to let him go
Bass solo
Bridge:
Was it fate or addiction?
Was it truth or lie?
Were you gifted, were you damned?
You didn’t have to fly
Aren’t we just lucky
Or are we sensible?
Are we deaf for siren calls
Or just dispensible?
Or just dispensible (2x).
Chorus: They call you……
( RIP Arthur van Keppel)

The Swing – Chabliz
At our school
Near the retirement home
Higher and higher
Into the clouds
Under ashy fumes
Of the crematorium
Middle of the day
swingin’ on the tree
Give me your hand and go faster
‘Cause the abyss is getting deeper
Back in your room
Haunted delusions
Don’t want to leave
I’ll stay here with you
You were my friend
Inherited a magic box
a spell on the world
Only the two of us
Pre Chorus:
Now the ground burns even brighter
Take the swing and push it forward
Bridge:
You were my friend
My borderless friend
We had so much fun, so much fear, so much sadness
And there was black, and there was white
No grey, you drove away, missed your jokes and your nightmares
Chorus:
Bound to eachother
Time slips away
Hope and dismay
Equal like twins
When I resist
You will have taken
The twelve o’clock train.

One-man project Vlimmer exists in the borderlands between post-punk and industrial/EBM, creating danceable darkness.

The striking synth/goth songs on the latest from Vlimmer feel 50 stories tall, with gigantic walls of sound and bleak, ominous vocals.
