Akashic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me There's a reason for this resistance
Head-to-head Ego grows inside us
We're on fight
How dare you give me your back again?
That's enough in our lives
An understanding life
It's all I dream about
Almost perfect
So let's make a promise
Lies
Why should I forgive
Don't stand for pride
It's worth to try!
Nose-to-nose I'm sweating all the time
Both of us just playing a sarcastic game
Head-to-head Ego grows inside us
We're on fight
How dare you give me your back again?
Lies
Why should I forgive
Don't stand for pride
It's worth to try!

Caraca, raridade, quanto tempo que não ouçl Akashic, ai me deparo com o Brand New todinho aqui... salve meu querido Rafa Gubert, De Ros e companhia!
michael salles
o complicado é decidir qual o melhor "timeless realm" ou o " A brand a new day". Eu acho o primeiro mais técnico , intrincado . é aquele álbum que você precisa ouvir e digerir. O "A brand a new day" ao mesmo tempo que é mais solto tem mais emoção e peso. eu fico com esse.
Luiz Antonio Souza
Aí, esses caras são muito bons! A intimidade com a execução é maravilhosa!
Carlos Marcante
Até os atuais tempos é a maior banda de metal progressivo do Brasil. O guitarrista Marcos de Ros é exímio em sua arte.
Luiz Antonio Souza

Eu também, Bruna! Procurei no Spotify e em vários lugares! Essa banda marcou minha adolescência, em 2006 eu comecei a ouvir metal e meu amigo me passou as músicas do Akashic e nossa, dá uma nostalgia lembrar que eu ficava ouvindo Akashic e jogando MU ONLINE no PC. Que saudades.
