The One 03:21
This is the word we’ve been quiet about: The singularity? One qubit? The One? We are the waves that have been floating around yet standing still... ...in space-less time, in space-less time. This is the word we’ve never written about: Magic? A chance? A transcendence? We are the voice reverberating now inaudibly... ...in this time-less space waves dance around, waves dance around. This is the One. Is the word the One? Let's hear it now, let's hear what it says, day in day out, discourse, embrace! To be a rock and not to roll, The all is in all, the One, Is the word the One?

If you could sing about collecting old clothes If you could dream about ridding unicorns then I can sing about the love or everchanging files of all the diving into screens of blue nights of all the Arnold Laynes and those moonshines of all the voice in grooves, just noise the everchanging files oh well, we don’t care, for now oh well, we still return, to the very same one the very same one if I could fix you just one baby lemonade if I could tell you “Mathilda” on a plane then I would shed a bit more light on the everchanging files
3.
Substance 04:08
This is the substance of life in the city/town, the streets and cars under the pyramid upside down. This is the substance of time; a boy/young, the brownfields, bish bosh buildings rising up. This is the substance of the flow; an adult/old, the trams and bikes under the rotating UFO. And there are walls covered up with question marks, beneath that substance that is so hard to find. Come on! Come on! Come on, let everybody know! We're on! High on! Looking into a disco ball. Come on! Come on! Come on, let everybody know! We're on! High on! Closing in on this dirty doll. This is the substance of the wine; red/white, the plants and grapes behind concrete slopes. This is the substance of this choice; a map/codes, the flat, address, up there on the top floor. Come on! Come on! Tell me, where are we now? We're on! High on! Are we just roaming around? Come on! Come on! Tell me, where are we now? We're on! High on! So lost in this city/town

I look around through narrow eyes and all the plums arrested in complete silence. I really feel in unknown shapes and all the berries just for a bee in complete silence. Like wax have never ever changed to honey and songs remain the same. Different ways, different people (on and on and on), different plays, different people (aims remain the same). I hear the rumors in the air but all the limes are squeezed into complete silence. I'm tasting sensuality but all the grapes, you and me, in complete silence. Like a wax have never ever changed to honey the song remains the same. Different ways, different people (on and on and on), different plays, different people (the aim remains the same)

Whatever we say it all disappears Whatever we mean by this complete silence Whatever we say, whatever we mean Whatever once was there

Witnessless 03:25
...and in the morning click the news. Now don't you feel a bit confused? A constant stream of fuzzy blues, manipulations, post-truth. ...and then some golfing, bombing flows. All that matters is market grow A constant stream of pops and blows, simulations, post-truth, witnessless! Who cares? Who sees? Who owns? ...and in the evening watch the news. Now don't you feel in darker hues? A constant stream of hazy days, implementations, post-truth. ...and now this showbiz is on the rise. All that matters is no paradise. A constant stream of highs and lows, revolutions, post-truth, our Witnessless! Who cares for words? Who sees the waves? Who owns these words?
7.
Of all the words that faded away Of all the waves that went into complete silence Of all the beats, while holding breath Of all that once was there Oh, stay alone and feel like a child To-ing and fro-ing, the boy with opened eyes Of all the toys in empty spaces Of all the memories... Can you hear them? Of all the noise, shaping the time Quantize what once was there

Meteovision 04:31
A sunny day 20 degrees, moderate breeze Clear at night 5 degrees but possibly freezing Sunrise at 6:41 at 90 degrees East At 6 pm the Moon will set in the West Come, come, come, come to me Save, save some temperature, temperature data for me Meteovision is rising up Disappearing in the sky The sunny day 20 degrees, moderate breeze Clear at night 5 degrees but possibly freezing Sunrise at 6:41 at 90 degrees East At 6 pm the Moon will set in the West Come, come, come, come to me Save, save some temperature, temperature data for me Meteovision is rising up Disappearing in the sky

Days are coming to ends now Todays are almost gone Days are coming to ends now Todays are almost gone In nights we hope Tonight, we hope for... Heroes of the night Disappear in the morning light In nights we hope Tonight, we hope for... But days are coming to ends now Todays are going to end Days are coming to ends now Todays are going to end And night by night their light is almost gone In nights we hope Tonight, we hope for days and todays

Functionally closed, self-sustaining forms, auto-catalyzed in the sun Food generated stores, reflexively composed, we are when all is said and done All said and done, all said and done While causes and effects merge into one We dissipate the heat to stay alive Born in unborn, no more love in dead plankton on the ocean floor In this explosive growth, a creased paper doll, we are when all is said and done All said and done, all said and done While causes and effects merge into one We dissipate the heat to stay alive all said and done, when all is said and done As far as we doubt and eat sauerkraut, mass hysteria stays away Laughing-out-loud, the answer "astronaut" or none and then "all done" All done, all done While causes and effects merge into one We dissipate the heat to stay alive All said and done, when all is said and done We can turn left or to the right or through the darkness into the light it'll be all right Through the hate, into the love and in the hard way... All right, it may seem all right But causes and effects become the one We'll dissipate the heat and simply stop All is said and done When all be said and done
11.
Let It Go 02:01
Now we have to let it go We don’t believe in highways Nor in walking sideways Sometimes we have to let it go Now we have to let it grow We don’t believe in fertilizers Nor in tranquilizers We have to let go Bellow, through the rabbit hole Away, across the Milky way Now we have to let it flow Though we stay in within-timeness In all its tightness All we need is let it go All we need is let it go

rotácie ticha prídu zajtra, zajtra nad zemou, zajtra zas nad hrobom zas nad vodou. Kto to vie, kto to začína? Čo sa stalo, čo sa stalo? Čo sa stalo, čo sa stalo? Čo sa stalo, čo nám zostalo? rotácie ticha prídu zajtra, ked sa vrátime do Bratislavy do roku 2011. Už som sa nedotkla koncertu v galérii, lebo sme sa stretli v projekte s názvom Nežná revolúcia je tu niekto, kto tu ešte zaplatí, že je tu niekto, kto tu ešte zaplatí. Všetci vedia, že je tu niekto, koho ešte zaplatia Budú to potrebovať, ale zároveň to vedeli. Aj vtedy sa nezmenilo nič, čo by sa naozaj mohlo zmeniť. Budú to potrebovať, ale zároveň to vedeli. Všetko, čo som si z toho vzala, som vzala do rúk Naše násilie sa v týchto krajinách nevytráca rotácie ticha prídu zajtra, zjaví sa mi čerstvý krik, čo sa nedá vysloviť. Ach, čerstvý krik, čo sa nedá vysloviť. rotácie ticha prídu zajtra, poza neho sa všetko stane zbytočné. Mesiac sa stráca v závoji, nádejný, všetko sa odráta v závoji, a všetko sa zmení v nádeji

about

nylon union Bratislava, Slovakia

"This Slovakian band’s latest album is a solid set of shoegazer psych-rock with fuzzy guitars, gauzy vocals and soaring song hooks." (KEXP)

"...spacy and dream-inducing, with swirling sounds like travelling through the universe and being caught in the gravitational pull of a black hole..." (Louder Than War)
