Castaway 03:30
it’s the laughter like a kid out on the playground in the summer what comes after when you don’t have to be home in time for dinner run away, run away, run away that’s all you ever did anyway leave today, leave today, leave today never gonna be another way happy with yourself don’t need no one else everything you need is on the shelf drop the anchor like a man out on a boat, can’t see the shoreline meet your maker like a castaway appreciates the sunshine run away, run away, run away that’s all you ever did anyway leave today, leave today, leave today never gonna be another way but are you happy with yourself now that you don’t need no one else everything you need is on the shelf

Hothead 03:52
you always get so mad ‘cause you can’t trust anyone talking in your sleep ‘bout the promises you keep find a happy place forget about your pain find another way reprogram your brain hothead you always get so sad ‘cause you can’t love anyone split personality a different person in your sleep laugh so much you cry forget about your pain hide away your love relocate your faith
3.
I’m happy in a different kind of way just yapping ‘cause i don’t know how to say what’s lacking, there isn’t a picture in the frame I’m sappy, in an awful way just average, but it’s good enough to pass no leverage, tipping the scales against yourself I’ve had it, this isn’t who I really am I’m conditioned to avoid what I don’t understand but I know what you’re saying is true you’re looking at me like I don’t have a clue it’s not you, it’s not me, it’s the truth doing donuts in the parking lot
4.
every time I close my mind, I can’t ever seem to find a little bit of happiness or just a little peace of mind weeks turn into months then years, feels like that time just disappears when all your disappointments turn into a daily fear deep blue skies are aways a surprise long as you stay true to your piece of mind you’ll find you never have to try doesn’t matter what is above, long as you stay true to your piece of mind rolling on a broken wheel just looking around for something to steal to say I can’t relax with bloodhounds snapping at my heels tell me how it makes you feel, when you’re being told what’s surely real well what do you expect from people who tell you how to feel? deep blue skies are aways a surprise long as you stay true to your piece of mind you’ll find you never have to try doesn’t matter what is above, long as you stay true to your piece of mind

Majordomo 03:43
here I am again made my bed in my head am I dead? I treat you like a friend, but I trust you should I trust you? do i love you? thought this was the end of the agreement you didn’t mean it I didn’t see it just around the bend you can find it right behind it you’re reminded there’s nothing to defend I’m not sorry that you wronged me please release me
6.
we can tell that you have been depressed most of the year so there is something we want you to hear it’s such a special world that’s all around you yeah i know it’s tough, and the rules so very stiff but every day alive is such a gift it’s such a special world full of special boys and girls and everyone who’s in between spending time together, what a scene it’s such a special world it’s right outside your door
7.
Deep Breaths 03:30
making selfish demands is getting you nowhere, but you don’t understand i’m not here to tell you what is wrong or right it’s all up to you to figure out your life and it’s like breathing freely for the first time since you knew me everyone that i know has got something weighing down, keeping them slow i’m not one to criticize the way you live but all that I’m saying is you get what you give and it’s like breathing deeply in an ocean full of grieving
8.
what do i say now got a new perspective it’s what i hadn’t thought about gotta have some fun that’s the main objective where did you run off to now if it goes unnoticed my life exploded is this what you wanted what are you waiting for it’s too late to give up hard to keep your chin up impossible to fix it you gotta save yourself how did you find out it’s not what i expected all i wanna do is jump the exhibition of some bad advice old habits you have protected can’t do a thing for you now if it goes unnoticed my life exploded is this what you wanted what are you waiting for why can’t you control it could it be avoided i just wanna help you what are you waiting for
9.
End of Days 03:37
talk about it, people turn and look away ‘cause they know if it’s true, then they will pay watch it burn and blow away watch it burn and blow away turn into a cloud of grey and it follows and it swallows you whole so you pull off the side of the highway close your eyes and start to pray close your eyes and start to pray this might be the end of days i’m a nihilist but i don’t wanna die but you can’t cheat the end though you will try and it follows and it swallows you whole so you pull off the side of highway watch it burn and blow away watch it burn and blow away this might be the end of days

about

Special World is the second full length LP from Otra Vez - the Brooklyn band has been off and running since DJ and Sean met in summer of 2019 and bonded over Guided By Voices, King Crimson, and Syd Barrett.
Great sounding lofi, tight slacker indie - Otra Vez seems to pull it off with ease on their second offering in about as many years.
