Dotan Ramot - Stick To The Low

All The Roads

Take a pen and a piece of paper
Write the thoughts you feel still matter
Touch old wounds that don't get better
Let loose your inner kid
Do a line or smoke some weed
Let emotions take the lead

(Chorus):
All the roads that I have taken
All the roads I have forsaken
Now they will unfold
All the times my heart got broken
All the words I left unspoken
Now they're all worth gold

I sacrificed my life for art
Little pieces of my heart
Now I'm right back at the start
I sold my soul for some attention
Traded love for pure attraction
Found a friend in self-destruction

(Chorus):
All the roads that I have taken
All the times I have mistaken
Now they will unfold
All the times my heart got broken
All the words I left unspoken
Now they're all worth gold

One day, when this is all behind me
Not even god itself could find me
I will shed my skin
I'll erase all I've seen
And all the memories I carry
The sad ones and the merry

(Chorus)

Exit

This wallowing in the mud
Is getting so old
The swimming in the flood
Is tiring and cold
You fooled me with your first impression
But since, I've surly lost my patience
I'll take my chance with isolation
If I have a choice
I'll forget your voice
Cut all communication

Chorus):)
So spare me your hypocrisy
I am not your friend
If I ever truly was fond of you
Those days have come to an end
For once I'll say this loud and clear
Find the quickest exit and disappear

Well, this has been nice
When you were much nicer
You turned into ice
Now I'm reaching for the slicer
And you must get re-educated
Cause your head's too big and inflated
Don’t push your luck when you're so hated
If I have my way
You will blow away
I've disconnected

(Chorus)

So try to be quick
And don't try to be slick
Your manipulations are making me sick
And it's lame and it's weak
That that's what makes you tick
And you think you're the bomb
But you're being a dick
And you fake and you lie
And you take so much pride
In all the slime I would advise you to hide
And you scheme and you hurt
And you roll in the dirt
You've reached my boiling point
So I'm forced to be curt
You're the most of the worst

You're an ego's worst burst
A soul so damn lost
May our paths never cross

(Chorus x 2)

Yeah, just find the quickest exit from my life
And fuck off, my dear

Yeah

No Regrets

There was a time, I remember it like yesterday
We jumped off every cliff that came our way
None of us seemed to mind that we lost control
In our version of sex, drugs and rock ‘n' roll
And nothing could prevent us from this wave that we surfed
None of us could tell between heaven and earth
So today when we hardly have time to breath
Let us all reminisce in a calm peaceful breeze

(Chorus):
If it's gone, it don’t matter
Memories last forever
And I'm sure that I'll never forget
There's no meaning to time
We were doped in our prime
It was dangerous but I've no regrets

And to join us, you needed a new state of mind
We were wild, we were reckless and so damn young
Figured there's nothing wrong with a bit of fun
And we learned how to love from an un-natural cause
And of course it was fake, but then most of life was
And I don't think we'd mind to do it again
Even though it might mean that we'll screw with our brains

(Chorus)

I'm in my thirties now
Still as stupid as I allow

We were meant to fly
So let's all get high
We were meant to fly
So let's all get high
We were meant to fly
So let's all get high

(Chorus)

Don’t Stay

Oh, what a shame
We missed our last train
And our star was left
with no name
This is right when
A flame becomes cold
And we shouldn’t hold a grudge
It’s the end of the road

And you shouldn’t come by
Cause we said our goodbyes
And you might change your mind
If you see me cry

(Chorus):
So don’t stay
When I ask you to stay
Don’t say all the things
I’ve been longing for you to say
Cause we know
At the end of the day
You should be on your way
Or else we’ll go astray

All said and done
The morning has come
But we can no longer
Feel the sun
I’ve been listening to a thousand
Love songs on the radio
They all say the same
‘Please don’t leave’ and ‘Don’t go’

(Chorus)

I’m sorry,
But I’ve changed all the locks
I’ve taken your pictures,
Put them in a box
If you ever come back,
Then you will soon discover
That I had to escape
I’ll be sleeping for hours

(Chorus) x2

Pretty Little Picture

Was I too impatient?
Out of line and out of place?
Was I selfish, tactless,
Off pace and out of grace?
Time was never on my side
But I'm not blind
I'm aware love wasn't either
And you've got so much to give
You must rush and leave
It would be a crime to linger

(Chorus):
Choose another path, choose another fate
A different kind of me
Don't look back at what mistakenly
Might seem to be
What could have been allegedly
In the wreckage, that's where I would linger
But you are not the same
You belong in a pretty little picture
In a brighter frame

Was I too aggressive?
Self-centered, Inattentive?
Was I insensitive?
Un-protective, un-attractive?
Time will heal the pain
But I'm not insane
It won't be gone by a click of a finger
There is love like you deserve
You must feed the crave
You would be a fool to linger

(Chorus)

Where the landscape is breathtaking
Where rainbows shield from aching
Where angels wings are made
Where Hallmark cards don't ever fade
Where hearts don't break so they're not afraid
Where a soul like yours can linger under shade
Ah-ah

(Chorus):
Choose another path
(Was I too impatient?)
choose another fate
(Out of line and out of place?)
A different kind of me
Don't look back at what mistakenly
Might seem to be
What could have been allegedly
In the wreckage, that's where I would linger
(Was I too aggressive? Self-centered, Inattentive?)
But you are not the same
You belong in a pretty little picture
In a brighter frame
Ooh ooh ooh

300Lovers

I’m a piece of work, I know
I work on it evidently
Get more complex as I grow
So I’ll keep doing it permanently

I’m my own best friend, best company
My own soldier, worst enemy
I’m the closest that I’ll ever be
To this thing they call ‘monogamy’
And I love being free
But it’s taken its toll on me

(Chorus):
I’ve had 300 lovers
And counting still
Some were a waste of time
Some have made me feel
And if that doesn’t make you want to run
Then tonight I would have had my 301
But I always end up alone
Cause so many have come
And so many have gone
And if that doesn’t make you want to run
Then tonight I would have had my 301

I meet my past again
Swirl around my riddle
In between love and pain
Find myself in the middle

And so the unknown
Awaits for me
Maybe happiness too
Will I find it eventually?

(Chorus)

Cause when it gets too good,
I’m out the door
And their hearts are made of wood,
I stick around for more
Stick around for more
Cause when we get too close,
I’m out the door
And when the story’s full of flaws,
I stick around for more
And I feel so free

(Chorus)

Child Of War

We didn't always comprehend each other's language
I wasn't wise enough to pick up on your knowledge
But when I needed you, I didn't need to say a word
Your ears would recognize the sound of blade made by my sword
And yes, we have been cut and bruised a few times before
But no cut was as deep as this curse growing inside your core
Dark is the color of the skies
No longer blue like your eyes

(Chorus):
And then my brother called and said:
"Oh brother, I think dad Is dead"
And everything has become sad
We'll never have the life we had
And ever since,
Mom won't stop crying
And no one could comfort her
But we still keep trying

You used to say I was a child of war
Born in war, live in war,
But I don't want to fight no more
“When will you be resting,
my beloved son?”
I don't think I ever will
But I hope I won't let you down

(Chorus):
And then my brother called and said:
"Oh brother, I think dad Is dead"
And everything has become sad
We'll never have the life we had
And ever since,
We can't stop crying
And no one could comfort us
So they all stopped trying

Here's the full length tragedy
that landed on my family
People had to be so formal
Life is short and death is normal
Even though I took it hard
It must be worse to leave a child
To know you'll never see his face
To let go of his last embrace
We still had so much to discuss
But that was not gifted to us
I wanted you to be proud of me
Never doubted how much you loved me
I wasn't by your side enough
Like you have been there all my life
And I will take this to the grave
This guilty conscious that I have
Deep down I knew you were not fine
But didn't make it out on time
I wanted you to hear my craft
But I was late and you had left
And mother was left all alone
She cannot find her sense of home
She wants me to go to a shrink
But I don't want to talk or think
Cause ever since you've gotten ill
I lost my joy, I lost my will
“Stay united and together”
These are words I will remember

And ever since,
We can't stop crying
And no one could comfort us
So they all stopped trying

Just A Man

I can't forget that night
With you in my old car
I never felt so close to someone
Who clearly was so far
You told me I was perfect
But it's clear I wasn't smart
Cause by then I should have realized
That you would break my heart

(Chorus):
And it's easy now to judge myself
For mistakes I made back then
For thinking I controlled my feelings
Not knowing no one can
I thought that I could overcome
But I was just a man

I'm hunted by the memory
Of that cruel night in your bed
You pulled away, my grief was silent
A part of me was dead
You'll never know how much you broke me
Or how you crushed my soul
It took me time to learn
Only when damaged I am whole

(Chorus):
And it's easy now to judge myself
For mistakes I made back then
For thinking I controlled my feelings
Not knowing no one can
I thought that I could overcome
But I am just a man

I try so hard to explain
But hearts that feel, don't understand
Can only do the best I can

I'm nothing more, nothing less
That’s nature's plan
See, I am just
I'm just a man

Unraveled

A few minutes ago
I was feeling kinda low
At least I think so
Can't say I really know for sure
See, I kinda lost all track of time
And this loss of grip of mine
Is proved as a matter of fact
By the sudden change in how I act

One, two, one, two, three
No one's as dizzy as me
One, two, three, four, five
My brain's dead, I'm alive
I can do without it
Yes I can, yes I can
But once I've already started
No one knows where this ends

(Chorus):
I feel closer to god
But I also feel close to the devil
Oh my god
I unravel
All the demons inside me collide
I am peaceful, unchained and enabled
Oh my god
I'm unraveled

Now someone's after me
Feel like I'm being stalked
Someone's peeking through the hole
Even though my door is locked
No wonder I got paranoid
Cause something had to fill the void
The buzz has left me in the trance
And I've been empty ever since

One, two, three, four
My brain soars, I am sore
Five, six, seven, eight
Juggling with my fate
I can do without it
Yes I can, yes I can
But once I've already started
No one knows where this ends

(Chorus)

And maybe I shouldn't have tried to begin with
But now that I have, all the clouds align beneath
Beneath my feet and I'm up on cloud nine
And the mystery is solved and I'm feeling fine
(x2)

(Chorus)

I feel so much closer to god
But I also feel close to the devil
Oh my god
I unravel
All the demons inside me collide
I am peaceful, unchained and enabled
Oh my god
I'm unraveled

One Last Melody

I like a bit of struggle, you tell me I should cave
You say I'm reckless when I'm trying to be brave
I hang on to illusions, they help me create
In your delusions I'm not scared to get intimate

This gap between us will drag us down, I'm sure
Unless you let me win, then let me win some more
I'm about to fade in fog, you'll die out as I sink
Unless we use a metronome to get in sync

(Chorus):
I think I have in me just one last melody
I'll even hum it if you pull it out of me
And if you think that you can
Sing it clean and stay in key
Tonight we might
Find the right remedy

I claim love's only real when it catches us off guard
You say I'm hooked on making simple things seem hard
I'm a free style kinda guy whereas tango is for two
You believe in fairytales where all dreams can come true

This gap between us will drag us down, I'm sure
Unless you let me win, then let me win some more
I'm about to fall in bed, then you'll fall in despair
Unless we find a common octave we can share

(Chorus):
I think I have in me just one last melody
I'll even hum it if you hum along with me
And if you think that you can
Sing it clean and stay in key
Tonight we might
Give a fight to gravity

You reach the high notes whereas I stick to the low
Your heart is beating fast where the rhythm's beating slow

(Chorus):
I think I have in me just one last melody
I'll even hum it if you hum along with me
And if you think that you can
Sing it clean and stay in key
Tonight we might
Give a good fight to gravity

I think I have in me just one last melody
I'll even hum it if you hum along with me
And if you think that you can
Sing it clean and stay in key
Tonight we might
If only for tonight
Find the right remedy
