Voodoo Mood 04:30
lyrics

Besides our reality, strange things happens Exceeds mind's boundary, with it ravens Don't know if it's good or bad, but seems magic Don't run away, you're not mad It's terrific Fears above our heads, It's no good We're afraid of shadows, Voodoo mood cats running away, It's no good Vultures are flying now, Voodoo mood A smell of magic potion, disturbs my senses Feels like a full distortion of my defenses I'm lost, confused like in a dream filled with bugbears Lightened by a strange moonbeam True nightmares My Fancy, Decomposes, Come earthly, In a drowse Like a dummy, Being foxed, Getting out, of this maze Fears above our heads, It's no good We're afraid of shadows, Voodoo mood cats running away, It's no good Vultures are flying now, Voodoo mood

Games'n'Trials 02:58
lyrics

Everything is speeding up and the landscape's blurry Watch the new rim of my wheels and my speedometer scream Will you have the guts to try to be as good as I am Follow me as fast as my car can fly off the ground Games and trials This car race is like life Risks and fights This car race is my life You regain yourself control and the real you unfolds Put a spoke in my wheel instead of winning in due form Not enough time to try to be as good as I am Now you get across the mark but will you pay the price for that? CHORUS High explosive and intense strain of the mind Blood pressure, high voltage, live wire Now all I can see in life is losers struggling in the fight Opposite, there're some guys ready to play and get the start Will you be able to win following the strict rules When your face has turned to green s'gonna throw up and scream CHORUS

Unfair To You 04:05
lyrics

So look at your soul Someone wants to feed it some bad s*** Maybe a fool attracted by Your white innocence Don't let him think he's gonna win everybody's trust Tell him how you believe in letting the people's mind be free Don't give a s*** 'bout this f***** He's gonna lose he always fails Between a rock and a hard place We're gonna show him our anger This world's unfair to you You have to fight to win This world's unfair to me I've got to fight for you Our world is so dark That we can't afford to be ourselves We prefer to look the other way Let them bring us down No one blames you for your mistakes If you don't have the choice Just try to be honest 'bout what you think works best for your life This world's unfair to you You have to fight to win This world's unfair to me I've got to fight for you Don't give a shit 'bout this fucker He's gonna lose he always fails Between a rock and a hard place We're gonna show him our anger This world's unfair to you You have to fight to win This world's unfair to me I've got to fight for you

True 04:30
lyrics

Just take a look at the ground Can't you see something underneath? The trees are taking root They grow in size overnight Like the tip of an iceberg You seem to see only the best But water runs way deeper And troubles can go even further How long before You open your eyes? Pretending not to see is freaking me out And I'm crying out loud How long before You blurt out your questions? If you don't even ask me how can I describe What I feel and have inside? Somewhere you've never been before, People are locked up in their lies Just try to read between the lines Stop being scared of what you'll find CHORUS Did you know me from the start? Did you think that everything was fine? Now if I tell you that your world is crumbling, then how will you react? Did you know me from the start? Did you happen to think that I wasn't fine? Now that I show you how everything is crushing, will you end up reacting and open your eyes?

What A Waste 03:07
lyrics

You think it's a game to play with me again You can't imagine how it's been full of pain Don't forget that i've always been a good bud But now i want to change our love to Blood will be shed on the floor Don't think you shut the door To me i can't resist I'll hit you with my fist Sometimes friendships break up : What a waste ! Realize it's a fact and you will be better You suck so much i can't resist laughing at you Everybody knows that you're an a****** And what else to say but there's nothing you can do You d*** fool you losing control Blood will be shed on the floor Don't think you shut the door To me i can't resist I'll hit you with my fist Sometimes friendships break up : What a waste ! Realize it's a fact and you will be better It's too late to regret what you've done to me Maybe you have to get thinkin' why i'm angry Today i look to the past and see what you've lost Maybe it's happened too fast i'm a little bit confused Blood will be shed on the floor Don't think you shut the door To me i can't resist I'll hit you with my fist Sometimes friendships break up : What a waste ! Realize it's a fact and you will be better

lyrics

The idea really doesn't please me But this is what you want so I'll be ready Come on, let's go to this rotten party Can't wait to meet these symbols of hypocrisy We've come to the end of the road This time I will not let you choose Freedom, happiness and the rest This time I will not let you choose Implore me, beg me, cry for me This time I will not let you choose You seem to get the wrong end of the stick As long as I will live I will never let you choose I was ready to go to the ends of the earth Even if it meant being worth less than a shadow Make up for your mistakes and failure As long as it was making your life better CHORUS Now we're on board of flight three thousand and eight Thinking how great we'd have been on the train I see smoke flowing out of the left wing What a pity my thoughts don't mean anything Now we are crashing at five thousand miles And we barely have 5 minutes to live Thinking how great we'd have been on the train This time I will not let you choose again! Now we are up in the sky, with angels And all you wanna do is meet a bunch of stars I would have chosen Monroe, Buckley, Jackson or the Christ Your choice is Carlos, why is it not a surprise?! CHORUS

Reaching Nowhere 03:44
lyrics

I've never reached for the sky I've tried to keep my head up high Wanted somehow peace and quiet Always looked on the bright side But this really is too much You didn't try hard enough And fell back into your bad old ways Fell back into your bad old ways And push me out of your games And push me out of your games AH ah ah ah we're reaching nowhere (x4) Right now i need to move on But i've just hit rock bottom Your words keep messing with my head Break through the deep end of my brain Your frame of mind, mixed with despair Is not getting us anywhere AH ah ah ah we're reaching nowhere (x4) We can try to make things straight But you're not playing straight We can try to do our best But for, bad's the best

Sinner 04:27
lyrics

You tore my life to pieces and tried to use my weakness Now your world looks a mess You only have yourself to blame I used to be your balance I gave you more than on chance You were too far and boundless Was it my fault if you stared into s***e Here is a taste of things to come I don't care about what you'll become I am sick to death of you Whatever you say i know it won't be true How can i trust in you again ? When all you did was a game Now you sink into disgrace Do you already see your grave ? I used to be, for you, a crutch Adulated you too much You were harmfull and soulless How can you swoop down on disgrace never grace Here is a taste of things to come I don't care about what you'll become I am sick to death of you Whatever you say i know it won't be true You want me back and expect to control my life as you used to It makes me thrill but i will never never let you get through You never smile, you're a poor guy, I let you fall, and know why Now you are, running wild Here is a taste of things to come I don't care about what you'll become I am sick to death of you Whatever you say i know it won't be true

1er verse : We know these times are quite loveless fuck them Sentimentality is our blindness f*uck them Hang on to believe there is happiness Even if we still show incoherence and rejection Chorus X 2 : Hugging each other Don't be so ashamed with me That's all we need 2nd verse : Humanity is lost in pain and hate Poor being on this earth The bellyache you feel is part of your own fate Push for all you're worth Faith, hope and charity are states of mind Oh, don't be so blind Maybe you just have to be true Bridge : Family is our rock in this tragedy Take care of them,they're always here for you Friends can be helpfull and listen about your life They're will never judge you 'bout what you've done Love is the only thing we want In this life made of contempt Listen, It's to our benefit To share the love inside us

1er verse Come on let's play together We gonna have some fun In this motion Be happy to know there's someone else Who comes in the game Stop felling shame As always the first step isn't easy to realize Take off your disguise What ever be tide I never let you by the ringside Don't be so shy Chorus : It belongs to you To face the truth Instead of that U-turn, so It belongs to you To face the truth Instead of that You burn 2nd verse : We undertake to please you As the king of the ball Don't be an asshole Your defiance disserves our ability Change it blithely Show your bounty As always let's nature take its course Whit no remorse Don't be a bad horse Keep on our way as ariana's thread Until our deathbed Don't let it spread Bridge : Wasted time can't be caught up Life is too short We have to enjoy this sunup Before our eyes will shut Sin and cruelty are the keystones Of this bad world Ahead resting in our gravestones Let's keep staying in our dreamworld

about

After a long silence,
and a lot of spare time during this pandemic mess,
Germain (guitarist and producer) found an old folder containing the files of Fluxious's first album "Why So Serious?"

From the original recording, the only tracks left were :
- guitars and bass DI
- 4 drums tracks
- vocals

So he decided to remix the entire album,
to give this jewel a second chance
(as the first edition was "not sounding so good...").

He did reamp on all guitars and bass,
robotized all drums via midi extracting and re-recorded it
and re-modelized voice takes.

And remixed the whole thing with today's tools and ears.

Here comes Fluxious
Rejuvenated for a new era and with a new sound !!!
