The boy took the boat for a long long trip He never knew what he was for Thrown into life, feeling the guilt Of being a Devil The last sentence his mother said Lying next to the river, not in a bed: «  Boy you must find in the city of men why you were made.  » As he never thought about it before He never knew, what he was for Life is hard for the man who's the Devil He's gonna stay a boy First foot on the ground he saw the Uncle Sam: « Man are you my friend  ? Or just a Scam  ? » He never heard an answer that rings a bell Except «  go to hell  !  » He tried to live as the Man himself The simple, the sheep, the blind and the deaf But just a few months feinting to be normal Can kill your soul As he never thought about it before He never knew, what he stood for Life is hard for the man who knows it all He's gonna stay a boy H'es gonna stay a boy He's gonna stay a boy He's gonna stay a boy A boy A boy A boy A boyyyyy Since he was set in the city of sins He found a flat, a job and a gym But working like a fool is not a task for this child and you will know why  ! Yeah you will know why  ! His boss was a bitch, his car wasn't waterproof But he should be happy, he could afford a roof  ! Unable to forget the last sentence his mother said Why were you made  ?  He couldn't stop to think about it anymore  ! He wanted to know what he was for  ? All these men seemed so close to the devil He's gonna stay a boy  ! Small, gentle, boy And all these days in this big city Living on his remorse As he could not trust anybody The Devil is back on his horse  ! They're all the same grazing the meadow Trusting their god's waltz He let them wade right in the middle If they achieve their roles Wrong is right and right is green and the beast is just a front The big lie that you must believe and they judge you if you don't  ! The river flows it's all that matters, his mother had to teach In this world there is no bad power, every beast should be unleashed    ! Unleashed  ! Unleashed  ! Unleashed  ! He will take a chance If nothing makes sense A monster in every boy's defense Monster in every boy's defense

Chilling and lost in my town Chilling and lost overtime Chilling and lost all around Chilling and lost, the saddest clown Chilling and lost on a plane Chilling and lost in my brain Chilling and lost on your lie Chilling and lost I don’t feel dry Chilling and Lost on a bed of snakes Chilling and Lost like a rotten cake Chilling and Lost without a cause Chilling and Lost it wasn't closed Chilling and Lost no surprises at all Chilling and Lost thinking small "Chilling and Lost" it was in my head Chilling and Lost waiting for the end Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Chilling and lost in a quiet place Chilling and lost lost in the space Chilling and lost answers to find Chilling and lost well nevermind Chilling and lost this snake was big Chilling and lost I’ve been born to dig Chilling and lost keep your level high Don’t think about the cost ‘coz you'll never fly And you don’t love that I’ll we be Chilling and lost for the rest of my life Being a ghost for not using this knife Chilling and lost no hope anymore Chilling and lost to those who close the door

Walk on the main street Watching the fog I was asleep Even if I am naked There’s feather on me Ask the devil in me « Why so serious » you are Let life flow in your soul Embrace the dancefloor Race against heartbeat Tonight we’re ready to be kissed by the swan Turned from black to light Dancing in the ark Closer to the Hi-Hat My feet bleed again My feet bleed again Street of silence Street of silence Street of silence Street of silence Spinning our heads Like a washing machine You passed me out And the bleach is so hard That part of our mind Goes outta space What is it in the air That makes me see the sphere Under the whale? Nothing to be clear In this new atmosphere But we run for love Turn from Black to Light Street of silence Street of silence Street of silence Street of silence

Riddle 04:54
I drink hours Walk away from mirrors For you For you For you For you I try to reach the limbo Keep searching but never know If you Are true If you Are true I learn my lesson I call myself as a person For you For you For you For you And deep in your bones You know it's ending A billion of drones Are watching you burning You gave me the role That no one's accepting But you got to show me some love You've got me with blame But you make it look all the same For you It's true For you It's true I drink hours Walk away from mirrors For you For you For you For you And deep in your bones You know it's ending A billion of drones Are watching you burning You gave me the role That no one's accepting But you got to show me some love You are free to show me Love in this riddle You are free to show me Love in this riddle

What do I want? I don't know What Do I feel I don't know I just keep existing What do I want What do I feel I don't know I Just steal A little bit of joy from you Too much smoke in my little space With too less faith on my little face Day after day living with no option Always taking the wrong destination It never feels right whatever we do I can feel the light but the darkness too Whatever I like I feel like a zero I want to believe in a hero Something good in this “full of wrong” Something weak in this “full of strong” Whatever the way we choose to forget We're walking on a line and we must admit it But I could be useless using my words I keep living with my mind disturbed Hopefully I have you and your little smile You're the only one to read between the lines What do I want? I don't know What Do I feel I don't know I just keep existing What do I want What do I feel I don't know I Just steal A little bit of joy from you I’ve got a box full of demands Hidden in a blue hole dug in the sand Green ink changing himself with the seasons turning into black and red for no reason I’m starting to stop listening to shit Starting to search where I could fit Thinking about stopping biting the apple To push myself out of the cradle Difficult to find a way to succeed You’re gonna be fine as long as your seed As long as your seed as long as your seed Come from a rich tree But coming from a bush growing in the middle Don’t have enough roots to deserve a label Lost the sense of having a goal I’m the cow milking the gold What do I want? I don't know What Do I feel I don't know I just keep existing What do I want What do I feel I don't know I Just steal A little bit of joy from you

Let me up when the night is coming Let me see you sleeping Undergound this voice keep calling Let me try to break it Let me break it Let me break everything Bad bad moments came to visit With this world to vomit There's no way to know the limit it will try to break it I will try to break it And it will make me love it Let me break it Let me break everything Let me break it Let me break everything You were born to make the fire There is no retire Where is god I'd like to tell her, I could be The Lyer Coz I'm the Devil, and I don't care I'm the Devil, and I don't care I'm the Devil, I don't care I don't care anymore.

Fight 04:03
I've found the brush made for my brain Blue color may stick on the stain My little myself tried to let himself express and it goes Splish Splash Resonating in the hush False Past And a bit of self esteem too Gone to A deep dark hole it's time to Be a new one To change the dark in a green day And take you with me on my way So get in the fight With my new kit of colors I will find some peace On this new world order I will take a piss And I will need your arms There's a new day rising why do you try to Keep this inner dancing on your Illusion of freedom Illusion to be False pink painted on a prison Running out of patience Too much on the pension Keep going crazy I'm this creeping creature calling You a bad timekeeper I want to be your Partner in the treason For the true release I will never get on my Attraction for Mary Between you and me We will be free if we got to be Be a new one Change the dark in a green day And take me with you on the way We're in a fight

I watched myself on a cloud on the side when I manage to They think I’m here since they talk to the body that I live into They call me the big white hermit Sometimes, they call me freak I’m silent I choose to take a step back from the moment To see if I still believe in Those chimeras my old me has been living Can I escape this joke? Can I escape this joke? On a cloud on the side can I escape? On this rainbow I will run, there is enough time To watch this movie from above While I’m still going down I don’t need a trip to somewhere When I just have to stay To watch this movie from nowhere While I’m still away They call me the big white hermit Sometimes, they call me freak I’m silent I choose to take a step back from the moment To see if I still believe in Those chimeras my old me has been living Can I escape this joke? Can I escape ? On a cloud on the side can I escape? I’m silent I choose to take a step back from the moment To see if I still believe in Those chimeras my old me has been living Can I escape this joke?

My World 03:22
I live in my world coz’ you’re so disappointing I live in my world that’s the only way to live I live in my world and I don’t want you in there, So get out of here, motherfucker I live in my world and I don’t see no reason To stay here with you and be stuck in your prison I live in my world, I’m alone Waiting for the sacred time Of my own Deadline I live in my world and even if you’re trying To do something for me I just know that you’re lying Bankable I’m not the one you should trust in But able To lose myself in a kind of nothing Leaving new world order of all humans claiming Me, Myself, and I, We want to be the King! I live in my world, I’m alone Waiting for the sacred time Of my own Deadline I live in my world, that’s just a good place I live in my world and I can forget your face You’re not existing in my mind, in my head This is my world and it’s like you’re all dead I live in my world, I don’t understand yours And I don’t allow you to knock on my heaven’s door I live in my world, I’m alone Waiting for the sacred time Of my own Deadline -Big White Hermit Speech- I live in my world coz’ you’re so disappointing I live in my world that’s the only way to live I live in my world and I don’t want you in there, So get out of here, motherfucker I live in my world and I don’t see no reason To stay here with you and be stuck in your prison I live in my world, I’m alone and I try And I cry And I try

Hey Sam, give me your pain Hay Sam, we’re not the same It’s time for you to understand it’s time for me to get insane You’re falling from the sky Entitled to almost everything And you’re willing to watch me die If I don’t stay on my knees There’s so much contradiction In the speeches that you lead I can feel your false affection I got no choice but to leave Hey Sam, give me your pain Hey Sam, let’s get insane Do you remember the time When we were children on the beach And your very first desire Was to shine in front of everyone The idea that the bad things Become better with the age Was a mirage in the black sea Coz nothing has changed Hey Sam, give me a break Hey Sam So many thing and lives That you seem to forsake You’re bragging in the pit And there’s nothing I can do about it Dying at your feet We will see the only option Going in the street, and maybe Start a Revolution We’re gonna start a revolution, not a corporation a revolution, something great Something for the people, something without money in it Sharping eyes, sharping knives, ready to spill blood on the clouds They’re gonna feel the sting of us, aiming for the king He wants us to come and get him? We’re gonna come and dismember him This is violent, you use violence, we use violence And everybody is screaming this is a bloodbath, the noble, the prize, the scum, victim of our wrath But after the dark time the sun is rising again, cleaning the dead out of our hands, And you can see a smile on your children face Because his future shows nothing but happiness Everybody’s rising Everybody’s dancing Everybody’s singing Everybody’s messing around on the righteous sound Everybody’s singing Everybody’s dancing Everybody’s rising On a ceiling where nobody lies we’re gonna let you fly We’re gonna make you try you thing Goodbye

HOLY DEVIL - A diabolical road trip in men’s land

A journey. The one of The Child who leaves the land of dreams. On his musical and tortured road, he meets pleasure, doubt, love, perversion, work, and discovers how much darkness an adult life can bring. He gets in a battle, eventually, helped by his allies Sex, Drug, and Rock’n Roll and since « Hell is Other People » [J.P. Sartre] he’ll surrender to turn into The Fiends’ King.
« HOLY DEVIL » is his story.

GARAGE DARK POP (from nowhere)
This second album was recorded and mixed by Damien Lagouardette, in his home studio, which followed him from Montreal (Canada) to Bayonne (Basque Country), with a stop in Barcelona (Spain), to end up in a place called « Les Landes » (France).
Does it make this album a world music album?
No.
However, the composition got musically enriched, thanks to collaboration with multiples musicians, such as : David Déïas (Kandle, Waveyard, Yardlets), Phillippe Messier (Mad’Moizèle Giraf, Okapi), Clément Flandrois (Hyrgals, Pillars), Paolo Bagatin and Antoine Le Roux (The Twin Stoners).
Nicolas Bine from Atlantide Studio (France) did the mastering of the tracks.

Where you can hear extensive sounds, with influences such as Nick Cave or Depeche Mode, with an author equally fan of Trent Reznor and Michael Jackson, this album sweats dark and sticky drops on a pop and muscular body.
