To Expect Nothing

by Reaktion

supported by

ruptured_in_purulence Gran disco y caña por un tubo. Tras un par de escuchas destaco The immortal unreason, Before your eyes y Rainy Fridays city. Favorite track: The Immortal Unreason.

MediZen I don't know if someone noticed it, but this Reaktion is getting better and better on every album
This 3rd LP is a proof that Spanish (or Catalan) metal is at the same level of quality than other popular bands
"To Expect Nothing" is "Learning to die" within a "Blackmailed existence"

IAmRevEvil as always Reaktion has put out a killer album. Favorite track: Before Your Eyes.

Music: Álvaro de Prado, Gufy Revoredo & Xavier F. Vidal Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal In this fucking world full of bastards In this world! Full of suckers Teaching a lesson is needed Sometimes! Some bleeding is needed Where’s the boundaries of our liberty? Where’s?! the point we can get to be free Punch some face, ready to hit In this fucking world full of shit. The solution: eye for an eye Who cares? If the world gets blind…yeah In this fucking world full of fuckers In this world! where nothing matters Sometimes I’d love to lose control Sometimes! I’d love to fuck them all Let’s go, piss me, make my day Say something you shouldn’t say My reaktion is also me I won’t be free but you will bleed. The solution: eye for an eye Who cares? If the world gets blind…yeah This is just about us, Give us satisfaction, this is not an OVER-RE-AK-TION A wise man said The self-control Is the key When instincts call But I can be a bit less free And kick some ass, so I won’t kneel It’s not always better To leave things in the past I can’t wait till later Let’s now see who laughs last I can sell some peace If I can get some justice I can sell I CAN I CAN Don’t tell me I exaggerate I will do it before it’s too late Don’t tell me I exaggerate It’s just him…facing his fate! The solution: eye for an eye Who cares? If the world gets blind…yeah This is just about us, Give us satisfaction, this is not an OVER-RE-AK-TION
2.	The Immortal Unreason 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Music: Gufy Revoredo & Xavier F. Vidal Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal The truth through the eyes The truth through the ears The truth trough the fingers, the sweat and the tears Let’s rise the instincts Against the reason To our bodies it’s been a great treason We are not more than an empty shell The ideas choke us, our mind is our hell Let’s rise the instincts Killing the reason Two thousand five hundred years for a new season Betraying the senses Is just a death sentence The twilight of the idols arrives It’s time for the instincts…to arise! The truth through the nose The truth through the hands I wish the reason enjoy its last dance Let’s rise the instincts, Listen to the sense Let’s finish this age of great decadence We are not more than an empty shell The ideas tighten us, freedom is for sale Castration of human, the moral’s a knife Let’s finish this age which is hostile to life Betraying the senses Is just a death sentence The twilight of the idols arrives It’s time for the instincts…to arise! This immortal reason In this mortal prison This condemned existence is not worth, to live a single instant Betraying the senses Is just a death sentence The twilight of the idols arrives It’s time for the instincts…to arise!

Music: Álvaro de Prado, Gufy Revoredo & Xavier F. Vidal Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal Take a look to the other shore Do you see? So, what are you waiting for? People living in despair Not so far, very close, just over there Watching this world getting ill Don’t make a movement, you just stand still With clean hands Remaining quiet cause it could be worse (It could be worse Yes, much worse) A sea of pain, a sea of shame And nothing changes, always the same A sea of where nobody is safe Another corpse in this massive grave Nothing really tears you apart Desperation, seem too far Inside you, no feeling found Remaining in silence as this world drowns So many deaths, before your eyes Too much injustice, before your eyes So… you are keeping your heart frozen, when someone dies So many blood, before your very eyes No matter how hard they fight Screams in vain in the middle of the night Coming from an eternal dawn The curse of the place where they were born The so-called first world’s heart is numb When dreams are hopes are dead and gone Mute to the unfair, deaf to the cries This world is dying… before our eyes So many deaths, before your eyes Too much injustice, before your eyes So… you are keeping your heart frozen, when someone dies So many blood, before your very eyes Behold the oppressed, behold the exiled Helpless beaten, fading lights Behold the oppressed, behold the exiled Helpless beaten, fading lights So many deaths, before your eyes Too much injustice, before your eyes So… you are keeping your heart frozen, when someone dies So many blood, before your very eyes Hated! in their own lands Banished! From their own lands Nightmares! just before your eyes Nightmares! from the other side Before your eyes The other side The other side Before your eyes Before your eyes The other side Right before your eyes

Music: Gufy Revoredo & Xavier F. Vidal Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal All the past flooding All the pain is near If the past does not exist Maybe it’s because it’s here All the past coming Constant back in time Lasting and perennial stain The past that still remains Memories Blinding me Memories My mind, my worst enemy Internal bleeding of thoughts Memories A true disease Yes this is, yes disease All the past showing I run fast to insanity I can’t stand, my spirit rots as the blood coats All the past growing Spilling, spitting memories All through the cracks I want, I wish I could go back Memories Blinding me Memories My mind, my worst enemy Internal bleeding of thoughts Memories A true disease Yes this is, yes disease All the past fucking now!!! Memories bleeding Inside my mind, I can’t forget This is hurting me But there’s no need to fight Memories Blinding me Memories My mind, my worst enemy Internal bleeding of thoughts Memories A true disease Yes this is, yes disease If I can’t forget, At least I can forgive Cause I know forever Memories will… bleed

Music: Gufy Revoredo, Xavier F. Vidal, Álvaro de Prado & Iván Lara Lyrics: Iván Lara & Xavier F. Vidal Don’t be afraid You know what you want I am here Don’t you cry, don’t I close my eyes My head begins to talk I wake up And start to walk I view a bed I view a knife I view all that bleeds I view my life Trying to do the right thing I need to set my soul free I need to fill my obsessions in me Excited, I have a need I think I am going to do it I have what I want, I have the knife No matter if it is not right My cravings release me I need to kill This sensation Again, I start to think Trying to do the right thing I need to set my soul free I need to fill my obsessions in me KILL KILL KILL KILL THE MAN Don’t be afraid SET ME FREE!!!!! Don’t lie in the bed no more Don’t think in a happy world Because if you do Obsessions will remain inside you Don’t lie about yourself no more Find a balance, find the exit door May the justice be your guide Don’t let the obsessions be by your side Trying to do the right thing I need to set my soul free I need to feel, I need to fill… Trying to do the right thing I need to set my soul free I need to feel, I need to fill obsessions in me
6.	To Expect Nothing 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Music: Gufy Revoredo & Xavier F. Vidal Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal Wasting your day, expecting the night And spending the night fearing the dawn It’s not that we have a short time to live, But that we waste a… lot of it Forget the aims, forget the goal Forget what you learnt to fill up your soul Dare to take chances, dare to go Dare to take risks and dare to love Expect nothing, (Trust no one) EXPECT NOTHING Don’t live as if you were destined to live forever Don’t believe in anything, cause it’s now or never Forget what you did, forget what you felt The only way to live is to do it by yourself Leave all the past, leave all behind Leave what you learnt and empty your mind Don’t think, don’t doubt, don’t ask Better to ask for forgiveness and all that crap Expect nothing, (Trust no one) EXPECT NOTHING Open your eyes Every day dies Take a deep breath You fear life if you fear death It’s not the same the will than the dream Don’t trust no one, nor what you’ve been The more you expect, the deeper you’ll fall You will get nothing for wishing it all Forget the aims, forget the goal Forget what you learnt to fill up your soul Dare to take chances, dare to go Dare to take risks and dare to love Expect nothing, (Trust no one) EXPECT NOTHING DON’T EXPECT DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING
7.	Rainy Fridays City 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Music: Álvaro de Prado & Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal It’s day of the week of thunders Striking from the sky I am under A penance without a sin In this town we don’t fit in On this day of Thor In this city of whores I don’t invoke him, there’s no call and enters to my shattered soul He descends to this prostituted city Filthy, sold and shitty Tomorrow, the water will not purify But will make me wish to die One day, one day more… One day, closer to the edge My fear, my fear is coming My fear is growing as we reach the end Sky’s getting dark, the sadness is back Bad memories standing just by my side It starts to rain, growing the pain Raining over and over again Not only the clouds cry Not a bad idea to die I! AM! feeling so down IN! THIS! dropping town Feeling the pity …in this rainy Fridays city! Thunders, thunders above The thunders are starting to ride The storm, the worst storm But the worst storm comes from inside When Friday comes, the devil shows When week-end comes, my fear grows It starts to rain, going insane Raining over and over again Not only the clouds cry Not a bad idea to die I! AM! feeling so down IN! THIS! dropping town Feeling the pity …in this rainy Fridays city!
8.	The Curse Of The Wisdom 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Music: Gufy Revoredo & Xavier F. Vidal Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal I wonder Why? I leave the land burnt behind I wonder Why? I see the truth when all it’s done This sad irony leads my path The learning comes after the wrath What’s the point of all of this? What’s the point? Things make sense once they don’t exist And I learn, I learn after I´ve killed I wonder When? When I will see the mistake I wonder When? I will see what’s worth caring for I realise, now I see But there’s no one in front of me What’s the point of all of this? What’s the point? Of what I live Things make sense once they don’t exist And I learn, I learn after I´ve killed The curse of the wisdom The choking paradox The longer the roots The deeper I fall WHO? Who will finally not suffer? WHO? Who won’t because of me The more I live, the more I learn The more things end, the more I’m me What’s the point of all of this? What’s the point? Of what I… live The price I pay For learning to live It’s the end Of what I always wished The price The end Reward To be free Things make sense once they don’t exist And I learn, I learn after I´ve killed I learn just after I have killed!

10.	Breathing Silence 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Music: Álvaro de Prado & Gufy Revoredo Lyrics: Xavier F. Vidal Any movement makes us fall Any experience shakes the soul Being with oneself, unbearable Searching things, to fill out all Any movement… will squeeze All we need fits in a fist Spitting thoughts, judging randomly It’s not easy…to be free Be aware, check in Find what you are within Just breathe… the silence And all the rest is violence All our history is a chain of instants Feel the life showing no resistance Embrace the void, grab the nothingness Or crawl through life blind and helpless Something we think is a need Desperation leads us to a wish And we make it mandatory In our path to a false glory Be aware, check in Find what you are within Breathe the silence, cause all the rest All the rest is violence And then everything, everything makes sense Dare to play, roll the dice Or wait and wait ‘till your day dies The mind sabotages itself Turning life into a living hell Always trying to go further The ambition pulls you under Wasting time looking for but… …no bigger punishment than wishing more Be aware, check in Find what you are within Breathe the silence, cause all the rest All the rest is violence And then everything, All the rest is violence

Ooooh, this band makes thrash fun (and remind me of their label mates Gravesend in that fashion). I hear a lot of (newer) Kreator influences, which is to my likings! dcdirkzwager
