Nonsense 05:03
lyrics
If everything was meant to be and life turned against you if all the love you feel inside just disappeared overnight And there would be no strings attached keeping us from being what we really are And there would be another you again just to keep my conscience satisfied Chorus: Would you be walking along with me? Would you be standing by my side? Would you make love to me like no other? Would all this nonsense work for you? If everything turned to dust and life as we know it really stops If all the promises we made to last disappear and leave us linger on And there would be no other alibis saving us when we both lie And there would be no significance in every word we say Would you be speaking with me, no matter who we were? Chorus Alt.: Then we'd be walking together hand in hand and we'd be standing by each other and we'd be making love as if it was true and all this nonsense would work for us too. (Rep. Ch.)

Humans 02:26
lyrics
There's a lot of endless rubbish 'bout all things that people do but what the truth is -can't deny it- we all make good things happen There is love and there is hatred there's creation and destruction but above all, and amongst all we all make good times roll Chorus: An' if you try to put us down we will fall but we will surely rise again. We have built giant skyscrapers we have seen the Earth from the Moon but the truth is we are jealous of successes of the others It's our nature, it's a process it's divine yet it is brutal but above all we are humans we can make the good out of bad, yeah! Chorus: An' if you try to put us down we will fall but we will surely rise again in the middle of Hell and Fire there's a flower growing up and it's called love.

Intercourse 04:03
lyrics
Every time I look into your eyes reminds of what I used to be When we made love when we're entwined in a bed colder than a winter's night Everytime you scream my name in vain 's like a prayer left to linger on Your withered lips... your shivering hips... In a love that's shared but no one's taking it for real... Chorus: I'm shattered now! Just shut your mouth! Cos' nothing will save you, girl, but loving me! But loving me... Everytime we fight over again I see your urge to make me bend Drooling on the floor, sweat runs through your skin in an intercourse fiercer than a war machine... Chorus: I'm shattered now! Just shut your mouth! Make my lust blow! I'm shattered now! Just shut your mouth! Cos' nothing will save you, girl, but loving me!

Show Reason 06:10
lyrics
Going somewhere, sleeping under the stars you wish to have owned the sky you had but now lost Going under, sleeping nowhere if all you can do is smile, if all you can do is cry Chorus: Show reason before you lose- lose it all nothing to fear, nothing to hope for. Going somewhere, always summer inside your bleeding- bleeding heart outside your fake, broad smile Going somewhere, always somewhere Will your heart fail to beat as one with all your partners left behind? (Chorus) On your own now, that's your home now this tricky business has cost your life but in the end you don't mind On your own now, that's your home now you never act like you're homeward bound you never show unless you're found (Rep. Ch.)
5.
Fool 03:36
lyrics
It only took a moment to lay your guns down and in just one second they knocked you down within a half-empty bottle they made you shrink your dreams but it's ok with you yes, it's ok... Chorus: Running around-around no light inside your trembling heart Running around-around and hope never to be found Running around-around these visions blurred your troubled mind Running around-around around... just like a fool... Your spirit seems to be up and close to the sky the sky is always the limit you won't deny. Within a dark room they locked you blindfolded, torn apart but it's ok with you yes, it's ok... (Chorus) (Rep. Chorus ad lib)
6.
Million Times 04:51
lyrics
Intro taksim: -Crossed my fingers a millionth time oh, waiting for the tides to change Grey is the rain that fills my eye oh, that millionth- oh, that millionth Time! Verse: Hazey lies a strong embrace like the one I used to share with all my dreams untold and new oh, that millionth time That millionth time! Chorus: I want out! I wanna break through! That ring of fore, space and desire... Fewer goods and more the bads inside this throat that nearly gasps Threw this garbage away on my mind Oh! That millionth time... (Rep. Ch. twice)
7.
Wasteland 03:57
lyrics
The time we had has gone away the light we saw has gone down we're rearranged and that's the key to any lock we have to open up The winding road has changed the scenery along with it has turned from brown to green And riding high in my car I feel the wind in my face getting fresher and clean Chorus: And there's no time to wonder why there's no time to waste on a waste land Another precious memory another night to laugh the times we've spent in eagerness will vanish in the haze A new day will break, another night will fall We'll carry on going till the end of time until our time is up, and riding high in my car I feel the power in me! Chorus: And there's no time to wonder why there's no time to waste! there's no time to wonder why there's no time to waste on a waste land

Galileo 04:37
lyrics
Standing here, hanging on one last chance before the dawn put your wounded heart behind before you go blind Took your mind one step beyond only to find you've been there before, did your best to save mankind, but you came across their pride Chorus: As if you were an outlaw they hurt you and mistreated you As if you were a demon's child, it took you half way there You only fantasize what's worth to melt onto the pyre Your only chance is if you'd lied Your only chance is if you'd lied. Don't have much to say no more you just have to save your soul Even when they say "Earth is flat!" you can laugh at them... Took mankind one step beyond only to prove you've been so wrong... You kneel before the Inquisition -but you knew the rules... Chorus: As if you were an outlaw they hurt you and mistreated you As if you were a demon's child, it took you half way there You just pretend you will obey, but no one ever listens Your only chance is if you lie. Your only chance is if you lie.

Release Me 04:46
lyrics
Stepping out my old front door leaving my town, my friends, my home, looking forward to a big adventure for a habit unknown Had enough of all this pitty this wicked twist of fate I'll be going by my own now, I'll be going for a change of luck Chorus: Release me! Cos' I can't stand the way life goes on In this madness, no one knows what's he here for I'll find me another life where everything's right and I'll have someone to talk to when I'm cold... I am cold like people are Talking about nothing, but it's true It's the last time I will feel this way Cos' tonight I will leave this place! Had enough of all this madness the wicked laughing stars I'll be going by my lonesome I will miss you all too much... (Rep.Ch.)

Happy... 04:00
lyrics
I can only remember now the days of glory and safety where we used to hang out so carelessly and to joyfully play so playfully free oh, so happy... I can only pretend I'm fine bliss is always so hard to come by now we've seen hard times unexpectedly but we happily pray, a prayer so sweet oh! so happy... Farewell old times take care pretty eyes think it's best for all of us a new start, a new life I can hear you walking off oh! days of old, oh! days of hope... I will now free my heart and be true and I will joyfully play so carelessly oh! so happy... Happy... happy... happy...

Clairvoyance 04:36
lyrics
Raining outside my window I can see clearly where the raindrops fall... Into my blurry conscience shadows cast a spell I now possess... Stretch out to find a heartbeat sometimes nothing is as real as it should Into my box of memories faces always form a quiet parade... Chorus: The wasted time has taught me reason about all things that were and all things to be No, I'm not so scared, no I'm not so scared Cos' I'm feeling free, feeling free, feeling free... So free! Raining inside my blunt soul I only dream now what my heart desires... Into my random clairvoyance dreams finally come to an end Rep. Ch. twice)
12.
Pain 04:40
lyrics
Yes, it's OK, it is just another glitch and, sure, you'll let it go away And when it's gone, your dreams are gone as well leaving nothing but just a cellophane sun Now it's mine, just a little secret wish I'm sure you'll let yourself astray When you're down and there's nothing left to hide you're looking forward to a pale, dark grave... Chorus: Now, give me pain, don't worry... Now give me pain, I'll take it! Time after time you seem to realize your wings have grown stronger Trapped inside this horrid shell it doesn't matter if you know what's best. (Rep. Chorus to end)
13.
Faith 04:33
lyrics
Male part: So, is it just a game?... Am I playing the way I should?... I suppose I'm hanging well tonight as I slip by your side Never meant to walk alone, never had the chance at all living by, helpless and ignored Only love can mend our hearts, only love can break us down but I just keep holding on... Female part: So it's another tale of a king that was so cold... All around him people talked as if he was about to live Forever... Now I know I sound too small, but my faith has been driven down a long and winding road Only love can mend our hearts, only love can break us down But I just love you more... Chorus: You gotta go all the way you gotta be prepared for the day but don't let go your faith in love the faith in you your faith in what is true Your faith in what is true (yeah...) (rep. Chorus both Male and Female)
14.
Chasing Tails 04:09
lyrics
Can you feel it? It's the long and cold winter... People run and hide people live and die in the darkness. Someone told you it's the truth you don't accept people having fun fun without the sense of tomorrow So lift your eyes it's this world that makes no sense people drift and die and you just sit here, hoping for the best Chorus: And I I remember you said something about freedom I remember you gave your life to that cause I remember we all come from one kingdom So prove your love and stop- Chasing tails! Is it over? Would you hand them over another sun? The Earth is bigger- bigger than our homes and larger than any land (rep. Chorus)

about

KAMP:CLAIRVOYANCE is the band's second album, two years after releasing KAMP:REAPPEAR. Following up with the alternative-rock-based style and attitude, and a renewed line-up, this album moves quite away from the starting point.
Unlike its predecessor, KAMP:CLAIRVOYANCE is not a concept album anymore; being faithful to the all-time songwriting base, this album differs in many ways.
Music swindles through many composition and arrangement sub-styles, ranging from the commercial two-minute alternative rock songs, to prolific industry rock attitude with mediterranean oriental drives, stops by a bit to a funk-based attitude, then swaps back to progressive touches, only to move on to a singer-songwriter interlude, then come back to a 70's felt 12/8s ballad, some 90's mainstream pop-rock melodic ballad, then to a pop-rock-funk mixture.
But music could not be availed without the different lyrics' approach. Main composer and lyricist John Kampouropoulos has been going "one step beyond", on one hand being tethered to the familiar foggy-to-straight-forward writing style, and on the other, experimenting with songs about reality and the world. KAMP pay their respect to world's scientific pioneer Galileo; another song is influenced by their 6-years long financially collapsing country, Greece, and another about the refugees' issues - a matter that still shakes the Greeks and the EU.
Last but not least, CLAIRVOYANCE deals with yet another style choice. All recordings had been done using the 70's-influenced full analog stereo techniques and combined analog outboard with digital stereo mixing and mastering.
All recordings took place in Athens, Greece, during the first half of the year 2016.
