DioHard Pay! Pay attention to my review!
If you value unique music, awesome melodies and always changing and evolving songstructures paired with awesome riffage and doubly awesome harmonies in the vocals, as well as sick harshs - well yes, I have described many bands now. But Takatak stand out GREATLY in the crowd and their unique and relentless, yet gentle and lyrically beautiful approach to music and consciousness is highly appreciated by me and many of my fellow mates.

about

We were called to headline Pakistan's largest independent music festival (Lahore Music Meet 2018) about two years ago, on the condition that we'd play new material, having played the festival before. This is the first song we ended up writing for the record, and one of the only two that were written in a 'live', jam environment, rather than constructing the song in a project file. In our opinion, it is one of our most rawest songs, in the best way possible. Mellower than our usual sound.

lyrics

Pay… Pay attention to my voice inside,
I am aware when it’s hard,
For you to breathe,
I’ll just throw it all away
So pay attention, the light dies with you

Searching for a remedy
Turn around to face the unknown
Burning out in silence
This feeling I internalised
It all came undone

So pay attention to my voice inside
Don’t throw it all away
I can’t escape, spiralling away into space
So pay attention to my voice inside
Don’t throw it all away
I can’t escape, spiralling away into space

Done are seasons, I'm running out of time
Aim me at the ether and light me up (and shoot me away)
I've treason'd and left myself to die
Scramble for your reasons and light me up
(shoot me away, with a straight face into dismay, won’t you)
Spare me your delusions, just light me up (and away)
Believe me, I'd cross your hearts tonight
Got no time to dream, Just shoot me into that…

My time has been aligned, warped to match the beat
Of your design, Your design
(Bleeding through your mind)
All your little trinkets, are all behind your crimes,
Your design, Your design

(Mind the gap, as you fall back,
And find a way around it,
We'll find another way
Turning red, colours bled
And white for days behind it
It always finds a way)

File, All your grievances to be put away
Inside, compartmentalised till all the same
Far away, from all the shades of their decay,
We hide, the colours away

Burning out in silence
This feeling I internalised
It all came undone

So pay attention to my voice inside
Don’t throw it all away
I can’t escape spiralling away into space
So pay attention to my voice inside
Don’t throw it all away
I can’t escape, spiralling away into space
