Cold War









I know a way out
if you catch my drift
hold it close
to your heart
let's just breathe
so just count it off
the worst is over at worst
we stand still
through the night








spin it back now
in through the out
we want a nice clean fight
no blood, no bite
when the end is near
let's just be frank
just let it sit, be still
we'll meet in the middle, c'mon







and inside me
it's hot as iron
I feel like I could pass in the night








spin it back now
in through the out
we want a nice clean fight
no blood, no bite
when the end is near
let's just be frank
just let it sit, be still
we'll keep this war cold
meet in the middle, c'mon

Apocalypse Dreams












This could be the day that we push through,
It could be the day that all our dreams come true,
For me and you,
'Til we're at the end of just another day

Are you too terrified to try your best?
Just to end up with an educated guess,
Like success,
Like those times you wake up mystified








Oh it feels so real in my sleep
Never felt so good, so close I do with you
Until the day this could be feeling
Do you realize that I could feel it.







Everything is changing,
And there's nothing I can do
My world is turning pages
While I am just sitting here

Well, am I getting closer?
Will I ever get there?
Does it even matter?
Do I really need it?
Wish that I'd remember
And I'm on the outcome







(This could be the day that we push through)
Did I really want it?
Does it really matter?
It was only yesterday...
(It could be the day that all our dreams come true)
Didn't even know you...
Now I'm gonna miss you
(Oh it feels so real in my sleep, never felt so good, so close I do)








Nothing ever changes
No matter how long you do your game
It's the same to everyone else
Everything is changing
I guess I should want my love
But she'd just be excited.

Medea or media











 Medea (Ancient Greek: Μήδεια, Mēdeia) is an ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides, based upon the myth of Jason and Medea and first produced in 431 BC. The plot centers on thebarbarian protagonist as she finds her position in the Greek world threatened, and the revenge she takes against her husband Jason who has betrayed her for another woman. Euripides produced Medea along with the lost plays Philoctetes, Dictys and the satyr play Theristai, earning him last place at the City Dionysia festival for that year.









The play tells the story of the revenge of a woman betrayed by her husband. All of the action of the play is at Corinth, where Jason has brought Medea after the adventures of the Golden Fleece. He has now left her in order to marry Glauce, the daughter of King Creon.








Euripides' characterization of Medea exhibits the inner emotions of passion, love, and vengeance. Medea is widely read as a proto-feminist text to the extent that it sympathetically explores the disadvantages of being a woman in a patriarchal society, although it has also been read as an expression of misogynist attitudes In conflict with this sympathetic undertone (or reinforcing a more negative reading) is Medea's barbarian identity, which would antagonize a 5th-century Greek audience.

Medea by Euripides, the tragedy of love turning into a terrible and savage hatred, premiered July 5 at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. It was the opening play for this year’s Epidaurus festival.







Spyros A. Evangelatos directed for the second time this play, 12 years after his presentation from the Epidaurus Amphi-Theatre in 2001, with Lida Tasopoulou in the role of Medea. Now the director returns to Euripides’ text under a special condition: The play is staged exclusively with male cast and the protagonist is George Kimoulis. [more]

Let's all go to the islands














I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look









I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore

See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Going back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave








Where would I be
If this were to go under
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
