about

“‘Before It’s Too Late’ was the first song I recorded in my bedroom studio after a long and unfortunate break I took from making music. It was also the first demo song that I started on my own, prior to that I’d always take an idea someone else had and worked around it.

It’s about my personal struggles in life, but is also about the state of the world we live in. Somewhere in a parallel universe, it would be a theme song to the movie “Interstellar”, I love it. I wanted to create a dark atmosphere and a sense of urgency when talking about something as irreversible as human’s life and the choices we make that dictate which direction it will take us. Often, however, by taking some steps we get results that are opposite from what we expect. So, are we leading the way or just blindly follow whatever the path life gives us? Can we change our own life if we wanted to, or will it still be the life we were meant to live?

So, since there has been a long hiatus in my music career, my electric guitars needed to be serviced and I just took my acoustic guitar, and plugged it in the Eleven Rack, with some added distortion. The sound was warm as it was coming from an acoustic, but it also had a metallic cold tone to it, I found it interesting, and recorded the first two bars of just chord changes, then started playing with the main riff. I finished rough sketches of lyrics for the first verse and a chorus, it became clear what this song is about, so I added a ticking clock sample and timed it with the tempo of the song, the acoustic guitar I mentioned also made an impression of a very heavy clock hand moving, so it only made sense. I showed the demo to Sasha, we made some adjustments in the chorus. But it was not until Gabriel and Adam came on board that this song really started to sound massive…”

lyrics

BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

We're living our lives without someone to guide us
Are we making a choice or blindly leading the way?
Believing the lies that they blatantly told us
We're trapped on this stage without roles we can play

Drifting through days we try and muster a purpose
Doubting the notion that there’s one to be had
It's too bad we only see what lies on the surface
It's sick we're so quick to judge and to be misled

All we want is to know
Is whether we can keep it in our control
Or should we just let go
And fall...?

Every day gets washed away
In the rush of our routine
Quickly changing like the frames
In a movie we have seen
How can we take it anymore?
It’s getting old to sit and wait
We better take it in our hands
Before it's too late

Often I think of how fragile our lives are
On this little planet we call our home
We think that we’re clever and sure to get wiser
Without even knowing if we’re all alone

So the story goes on
We die before we are born
Never leaving a thing behind for them
To hold on to when we’re gone

Every day gets washed away
In the rush of our routine
Quickly changing like the frames
In a movie we have seen
How can we take it anymore?
It’s getting old to sit and wait
We better take it in our hands
Before it's too late
