Use Yourself / Always Run

by Catamaran

supported by

david_86 The entire album (Wasteland) is filled with honest and relatable lyrics whilst some may come across as criptic, some tracks are heavier rock n roll and others slow and perpetual. Certainly something for everyone who simply loves Rock.

Use Yourself Lyrics by Stephen Glenn Use yourself, you’ve got enough Dangerous, dangerous enough Use yourself, you’ve got the stuff Dangerous, dangerous enough Use yourself, you’ve got enough Dangerous, dangerous enough Use yourself, you’ve got the stuff Dangerous, dangerous enough Use yourself, you’ve got enough Dangerous, dangerous enough Use yourself, you’ve got the stuff Dangerous, dangerous enough And you could use your only weapon To destroy everything that you love Or you could go a new direction And explore everything that has been, and could be Use yourself, you’ve got enough Dangerous, dangerous enough Use yourself, you’ve got the stuff Dangerous, I find you
2.	Always Run 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Always Run Lyrics by Stephen Glenn Dull eyes that stare, at empty walls, your breath is uneven All night aware, your sleep is stalled, a call from the deep end So quiet there beneath it all, it shows who you are now Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah No sky, thick air that weighs you down, you’re weak from the poison Searchlights invade like hazy gowns, the beast has awoken Slow fire scares us to the walls, and shows who we are now Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah They came for Jacob and Raj They came for Gretel and Marge They came for Amon then me... Where are you? They’re outside Where are you? They’re outside Where are you? They’re outside You always run… Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Always run, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

about

"Use Yourself" was developed around the idea of a mantra–a repeated phrase to encourage yourself to overcome obstacles imposed by your own mind. Everything you need is in you already. You can be dangerous to yourself, or you can be dangerous to the status quo. Don't wither, but instead dig deep to summon the will to attack your goals.

"Always Run" examines the connection between deteriorating personal well-being and broader social decay. A deeper inner strength must be unearthed to resist these destructive forces. At the same time, friends and neighbors witnessing these occurrences must stand together to provide support. Inspiration is taken from "First they came..." by Martin Niemöller.

Chase is a dear friend and a production wiz. His passion for music (and much more) spills out all over the place and makes a huge mess :D. His talents really shine through on these two tracks! Catamaran
