Enter the Mirage

The sonic dawn are back with another 60s psychedelic rock album and - as the previous ones - it's catchy, well arranged and interesting. I'd say they didn't do anything completely new in this recording, yet it's diverse and full of what I like about the sonic dawn. Personally I also like how the lyrics in this one are staight to the point (do some psychedelics! )
Favorite track: Loose Ends.

The Sonic Dawn carry on the legacy of the late sixties Danish psych scene with unabashed fidelity and free-flowing flair. Fed tjald, mand.
Favorite track: Shape Shifter.

Young Love, Old Hate
02:21

You know, that it’s true
But it will never happen to you
I know that old age is
coming my way
My way, my way
I know that no one is here
To stay, to stay, to stay
Young love
Old hate
Time seals
our fate
Some day
Your generation’s
Gonna grow old
Grow old, Grow old
And it’ll be up to you
Not to grow cold
Grow cold, Grow cold
Young love
Old hate
Time seals
our fate
Only love is true
Don’t let hatred get the best of you
Plain Jane
Or straight up insane
Insane, Insane
as time goes by
No one stays the same
the same, the same
Young love
Old hate
Time seals
our fate
You know, that it’s true
But it will never happen to you

Past, present and future
All melted into one
Don’t know how we got here
Don’t know what we’ve done
All my friends are dopers
So I guess they’ll know just what to do
And it’s a groovy ride
So I guess I’ll just see it through (let it slide)
Listen to hits of acid
Float away on a rainbow
Free you soul to groove on the track
And just let the days go
Sortilege, please tell me
Where to find some peace
Escape from the stress
Get out from underneath the press
You need to relax man
Smoke some weed and listen to some wax
Spend time with friends
And try to widen the magnifier lens

Loose Ends
05:03
|

If you take all of your loose ends
and tie them together
Maybe you will have just enough
to escape forever
Fallen out of place
Suddenly you don’t belong
All it takes is to realize
That almost everyone gets it wrong
Why don’t we go and get high
Live life under a clear blue sky
Stay out late and watch the stars
and leave our worries behind
If you feel like it’s time to go
Pack a bag and get ready
There’s no reason to take it slow
Leave behind all that is heavy
Get out while you can
Break the spell that you’re under
Don’t wait till you’re an old man
Who just wishes he was younger
Why don’t we go and get high
Live life under a clear blue sky
Stay out late and watch the stars
and leave our worries behind
Why don’t we go and get high
Live life under a clear blue sky
Float away on a rainbow
Go wherever a warm breeze flows

Children of the Night

You know you can’t defeat it
(Cause) It lives inside your head
You’ve been on the outside of every room
That you’ve ever been in
You know you can’t release it
Cause it’ll never let you go
You’ve always been a 1000 miles
From everyone you’ve ever been with
There’s a chemical solution
For what you have in mind
The answer to your questions
Lies far beyond your line of sight
Children of the night
Waiting for the light
If you wanna catch a dream
Follow a flower downstream
Lovers of the light
Trying-to set things right
You long for change
But there are options that you’re afraid to try
There’s a chemical solution
For what you have in mind
The answer to your questions
Lies far beyond your line of sight
There’s a chemical solution
For what you have in mind
The door in the back leads
To a garden growing wild

Shape Shifter

Shape Shifter
Never stays the same
Always just a drifter
Shape Shifter
Never stays in one place
Always a just a drifter
Shape Shifter
Shifting shape
Sheds all of its dead weight
Never in one place for too long
Tomorrow it will all be gone
Don’t know if its your grip that slips
Or if you just don’t want to stick
Doesn’t care what’s right or wrong
Just fading away along with its song
Shape Shifter
Lonesome Drifter
Shape Shifter
Lonesome Beautiful Drifter
Shape Shifter
I’m the Lonesome Drifter
Even if I wanted to stay
You know man,
Nothing’s prettier than the peace of mind
That I leave behind
Leave
Just leave everything behind
Change your shape
And slip quietly out the back
Make your escape
Slip out between the cracks
Leave
Just Leave
Leave
Just Leave

Enter the Mirage
03:26
|
|||
|
A ghost in broad daylight
Can’t find it’s way back to night time
Its shadow travels restlessly
In search of a destiny
Enter the mirage
The dream that you’ve been chasing
The star that you saw from afar
Its soft pulse that you have been replacing
The phantoms are all rising
Like water on the horizon
Softly they are calling you home
Inviting you into the unknown

Soul Sacrifice
03:26
|
|||
|
Let me tell you something
For I have seen the end
There are certain rules in this world
That even money won’t bend
We’re sealing all our exits
Closing all the doors
No way back and no way out no more
We are trapped
We’ll never get out of here alive
A soul sacrifice
You’re all just waiting around to die
Get up every morning
Get to work on time
Lose another day
It’s just another price you have to pay
Wasted all your moments
Grinding in the gears
of some big machine
that’s taken all of your best years
We are trapped
We’ll never get out of here alive
A soul sacrifice
You’re all just waiting around to die

Join the Dead
03:04
|

|
If what they say and do is true
I guess it was never really up to me and you
If all you need is food and rest
I think that you’ve been missing out on all the best
Man, you’re a long way from home
Out here everyone is all alone
If you’re so far from where you wanna be
Maybe it’s time to open up your eyes and see
Give them the slip and come with us on a trip
Ease your grip and join our psychedelic fellowship
If what you want is nowhere to be found
why is it that you still stick around
Hop on the bus and come along
There are many more out there just like us
When all is done and said
Get on the road and join the Dead
You might think that it’s all in your head
(and) You’re not wrong, so try and live it out instead
Give them the slip and come with us on a trip
Ease your grip and join our psychedelic fellowship

Sun Drifter
03:51

I know that nothing ever goes the way it should
and I know that you did everything you could
Now I just hope that you’re out there somewhere feeling good
and that some day these/the dark clouds will evaporate
Sun Drifter
Moon Eclipser
On the darkest night
Your light shines bright
I wish that I could erase you being sick
And just remember all the good things that you did
Some days I feel too young to walk (through life) alone
But when I feel lost, you still show me the way home
Sun Drifter
Moon Eclipser
On the darkest night
Your light shines bright

UFO

We are not alone
We are not alone
We’re not on our own
Anymore
They've come from the stars
With love in their eyes
Full of compassion
More beautiful than you can imagine
UFO
I’m ready to go
UFO
Please take me home
Bright lights are flashing
The night sky is contrasting
All of my questions
I hope they don’t mind me asking
Where are we from
Where can you go
When you don’t fit in
With your own kin
UFO
I’m ready to go
UFO
Please take me home

about
Enter the Mirage is The Sonic Dawn's fourth full-length, and was created to have the same energy as the band's psychedelic live concerts. The album's overall theme is freedom. It is about visions that may seem too distant to be real, but only those who take the trip will ever really find out.
