''Hey and Hansen have always been a priceless Berlin oddity. The project has its tentacles clawed into some of the cities best known underground establishments with long-term connections and afiliations alongside numerous labels, the Hard Wax axis, Iceland's ecclectic Mum collective and yet their music has resolutely singled itself out from the crowd. For the last 10 years Hey & Hansen have delicately developed their love of alpine folk, accordions and dub traditions into a hybrid of gypsy accoustics and effervescent electronic tinkerings. The results have never been anything less than captivating, with even hardened techno casualties unable to resist its originality and endless charm. This awesome release unearths new track 'Moon' - another refracting gem of multi-generic deviations that sound like the soundtrack to an as yet unwriten Emir Kusturica film - just peerless material.''

We're burning down
We're burning down
We're burning down
Why would you hurt me
Yo what the hell were you thinking
How could you sit there and lie to me without even blinking
I hate that I loved you so let these words sink in
You were my sunshine
You were my sunset
And if someone come between us I'd a break they neck
But now look at you its all thank you next
No chill with the way you text
Had me over here looking all perplexed
I never used to stress before I must confess
But I'm a treat you the same way I treated the rest
Give you no more chances and watch you obsess
Over me soon as you see you cant get a hold of me
Or control of me
I'm in no hurry
To come home early
Watch us fade away with an ocean breeze
And show you how I have no mercy for things like you and me
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea yea
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea
Yea
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea yea
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea
Yea
Yea
I'm sorry I said that out of anger
But in the moment it seems that you are just a stranger
One touch and it seems we are asking for danger
We always press rewind like its our second nature
All I ever wanted was you
But you took my heart and broke it into
This my breaking point I know that im through
If only from the start I would a knew the truth
See you had them bad bitch vibes
And your face and your body looking real nice
You see we peaked game on the person inside
And found out everything was a lie I
Try to reevaluate my situation
You seem pressed for comfort and that relaxation
(Why don't you)
Go and pop another Addie any given occasion
Thinking to myself what was my expectation
Congratulations you're an imitation
That comes equipped with the stipulations
And if nothings wrong then whats the situation
I don't know
Dealing with your mental is a never ending equation
Racing around these thoughts in my brain
Looking for anything to ease the pain
Looking for all the right words to say
Yea
But everything comes out with a lot less love and a lot more hate these days
I'm saying
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea yea
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea
Yea
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea yea
We're burning down
We're burning down
Yea
Yea
Yea
(We're burning)
(We're burning down)
(Yea)
(Yea yea)
(We're burning)
(We're burning down)

Line by Line Meaning
We're burning down
Our relationship is crumbling and falling apart
Why would you hurt me
I am questioning why you would intentionally cause me pain
Yo what the hell were you thinking
I am expressing disbelief and frustration at your thought process and actions
How could you sit there and lie to me without even blinking
I am astonished at your ability to deceive me so effortlessly
I hate that I loved you so let these words sink in
I regret having deep feelings for you and want you to understand the impact of my words
I treasure the memory of you but I hope that you fall off the deep end
Although I hold some fond memories of our time together, I also wish for your downfall or downfall
You were my sunshine
You brought light and happiness into my life
You were my sunset
You represented the end of my day, bringing me tranquility and beauty
And if someone come between us I'd a break they neck
I would resort to physical violence if anyone tried to separate us
But now look at you its all thank you next
Now, I have moved on from you and express gratitude for the next person who enters my life
No chill with the way you text
Your texting style lacks restraint and consideration
Had me over here looking all perplexed
Your actions have left me confused and bewildered
I never used to stress before I must confess
I admit that I never used to feel anxious or worried until now
But I'm a treat you the same way I treated the rest
I am going to treat you with the same indifference and disregard as I did with my past relationships
Give you no more chances and watch you obsess
I will not give you any more opportunities and observe you become obsessed with me
Over me soon as you see you cant get a hold of me
Once you realize you cannot control or possess me, you will become fixated on me
Or control of me
You will not have power or influence over me
I'm in no hurry
I am not in a rush or eager
To come home early
I do not feel the need to return home quickly
Watch us fade away with an ocean breeze
We will slowly diminish and dissolve like the gentle breeze by the ocean
And show you how I have no mercy for things like you and me
I will demonstrate my lack of compassion towards the remnants of our relationship
I'm sorry I said that out of anger
I apologize for my previous words spoken in a state of anger
But in the moment it seems that you are just a stranger
At that moment, it feels like you are a completely unfamiliar person to me
One touch and it seems we are asking for danger
A single touch between us appears to lead to potential harm or risk
We always press rewind like its our second nature
We continuously revisit the past as if it comes naturally to us
All I ever wanted was you
You were my sole desire
But you took my heart and broke it into
You shattered my heart into pieces
This my breaking point I know that im through
I have reached my breaking point and realize that I am done
If only from the start I would a knew the truth
If only I had known the truth from the beginning
See you had them bad bitch vibes
You exuded an empowering and confident demeanor
And your face and your body looking real nice
Your physical appearance was attractive and appealing
You see we peaked game on the person inside
We saw through your external facade and discovered your true nature
And found out everything was a lie I
We realized that everything you presented to us was deceptive and untrue
Try to reevaluate my situation
I attempt to reassess and reconsider my current circumstances
You seem pressed for comfort and that relaxation
You appear desperate for reassurance and a sense of calmness
(Why don't you)
(Why don't you)
Go and pop another Addie any given occasion
You resort to taking Adderall to cope or find solace in any given situation
Thinking to myself what was my expectation
I am reflecting on what my initial expectation was
Congratulations you're an imitation
Congratulations, you are a mere imitation or replica
That comes equipped with the stipulations
You come with conditions or requirements
And if nothings wrong then whats the situation
If nothing is amiss, then what exactly is the current state of our relationship
I don't know
I am uncertain
Dealing with your mental is a never ending equation
Handling your mental struggles feels like an ongoing and unsolvable equation
Racing around these thoughts in my brain
These thoughts are racing and consuming my mind
Looking for anything to ease the pain
I am searching for any solution to alleviate the pain I feel
Looking for all the right words to say
I am searching for the perfect words to express myself
But everything comes out with a lot less love and a lot more hate these days
However, recently my words are filled with less love and more hostility
