Breathe In (Savage Times) 05:23
lyrics

You were brought into this world So beautiful, so pure, so raw Now breathe in the atmosphere Of the ultimate dread and fear When you turn around And there’s no one left When you settle for What you never said You look to find a knight to save you The white horse is gone Save yourself, your fairytale fell through Flying through the savage times Wings of a butterfly Now breathe in the hurricane So powerful, so deafening When you turn around And there’s no one left When you settle for What you never said You look to find a knight to save you The white horse is gone Save yourself, your fairytale fell through You’ve been missing all the cues So graciously thrown at you Now breathe in your chaos, dear So deadly, but so liberating When you turn around And there’s no one left When you settle for What you never said You look to find the one to save you The white horse is gone Save yourself, your fairytale fell through These are savage times, prepare yourself to Embrace your chaos and fly away ‘Cause these are (these are) savage times Prepare yourself to (you’ve got to) embrace your chaos and fly

Blurrin' the Lines 04:46

If we ever drifted apart Would you try to understand My side All the things I kept from you Just to keep us hanging on Shield against the truth If I ever laid my soul bare Would you notice Scars and bruises? If we went for a new start Would it be worth it? Mending my heart I’ve been writing in my sleep You put a spell on my dreams Blurrin’ the lines (Blurrin‘ the lines) Of reality No more wasted years You’re right next to me Blurrin’ the lines We create the wildest dream It's a thing of destiny Blurrin’ the lines (Blurrin’ the lines) I’ve been writing in my sleep You put a spell on me If we ever stumbled and fell Would you be the bigger man Help me up This one time I’ll make myself clear How I want this to run Hoping you'll get the hint First time I’ll lay my soul bare And you will notice Scars and bruises If we went for a new start Would it be worth it? Mending our hearts I’ve been writing in my sleep You put a spell on my dreams Blurrin’ the lines (Blurrin’ the lines) Of reality No more wasted years You’re right next to me Blurrin’ the lines We create the wildest dream It‘s a thing of destiny Blurrin’ the lines (Blurrin’ the lines) I’ve been writing in my sleep You put a spell on me I’m writing in my sleep You put a spell on me Walking through my dreams I’m writing in my sleep Walking through my dreams You put a spell on me

Golden hour turning dark Raindrops on the traffic lights I head across the park To look for the good time Adrenaline rushing through So good to see you Tonight we’ll go wild And we'll blame it on the full moon Tonight won’t stop Feels like paradise Under the strobe skies The beat and the flashing light One more careless night No one’s gonna be around forever So dance the night away Before the break of day Music sounds sweeter When we’re together We got fire in our blood Stars living in our eyes Another glass of fun Chasing the sunrise Don’t feel like going home Favorite song on a loop We’re so going wild And we’ll blame it on the full moon The beat and the flashing light One more careless night No one’s gonna be around forever So dance the night away Before the break of day Music sounds sweeter When we’re together Tonight won’t stop, feels like paradise Under the strobe skies Tonight won’t stop, feels like paradise Under the strobe skies It all went by in a beat Now just a memory The flashbacks in between The hungover daydream Saturday’s a special high Another one coming soon Again we’ll go wild And we’ll blame it on the full moon The beat and the flashing light One more careless night No one’s gonna be around forever So dance the night away Before the break of day Music sounds sweeter When we’re together Tonight won’t stop, feels like paradise Under the strobe skies Tonight won’t stop, feels like paradise Under the strobe skies Tonight won’t stop

Shadows in the water Bring back distant memories Reflection of the moonlight Takes me back to who I used to be. I hear a whisper: “There’s no way back, She’s on her own now” Shadows in the water Deep, dark water Echoes of the moonlight Moving through my life line

You see me get all dressed up In your bathroom The pretty stuff I have on You think they’re for you But I Couldn’t bring myself to play your fool No matter how much I try How much I try But I still give you One more minute to say what you did One sweet minute to get it all out One minute before burning the house down One last minute and it’s so gone now You see me Getting worked up But you don’t argue I see you being so cool Burning my short fuse One more minute to say what you did One sweet minute to get it all out One minute before burning the house down One last minute and it’s so gone now Oh, it’s such a tragedy One more One more One more One more One more minute to say what you did One sweet minute to get it all out One minute before burning the house down One last minute and it’s so gone now One more minute to say what you did One sweet minute to get it all out One minute before burning the house down Burning my short fuse

Grain of Salt 04:16
lyrics

In the times Of fear and division They say we must choose There’s a price to pay For every decision Either way we lose No one knows where we’re going But we all see it’s so wrong The eternal war we’re all losing Take the peace with a grain of salt In the times Of quick and superficial Does it ever get any different? In the state of ultimate confusion Does it ever get any clearer? No one knows where we’re going But we all see it’s so wrong The eternal war we're all losing Take the peace with a grain of salt In the times When they fight for power Do we get the taste of it? We think we choose them But we never get to question The true state of things No one knows where we’re going

I know you’ll keep me Inside of all your sweetest dreams Got a winding road ahead One step at a time Breathe Out In a heartbeat Breathe out Don’t worry Breathe out And save one more Minute for me Breathe out Breathe out Breathe out Before the sundown The anxious sweetness of final embrace And I’ll see my reflection In the corner of your eye Breathe out In a heartbeat Breathe out Don’t worry Breathe out And save one more Minute for me Breathe out Breathe out Breathe out

about

We are Carlos Plaza and Senka Hodžić (Carlos from Venezuela and living in Costa Rica for 12+ years, and Senka from Bosnia), a.k.a. Imágenes Mentales and Call Me Shadow. We are happy to present our album together “Breathe In.Breathe Out”, which was written, recorded and produced from October 2021 until July 2022.

The story of the beginning of our music collaboration is a rather interesting one. It started when we accidentally started talking on Instagram and realized we share similar music tastes and influences. The process started developing after Carlos provided the structured instrumental music outline for what was to become our first joint single, “Blurrin’ the Lines”. Senka then provided the lyrics and vocals.

The process went in a similar way to all the other songs. What began as an idea to collaborate on one song, became an album of 10 songs, and made us realize that our musical connection is perfection for us, something that is very hard to find and, even more, the fact that we are from different countries and cultures. The writing and recording process was pure magic from beginning to end. The entire album is conceptualized as some kind of metaphorical music breath providing a range of moods, genres and personal impressions transformed into various topics.

From indie and synth pop to ambient, post-grunge and alternative rock influences, the album evokes musical nostalgia of the 80s and 90s put through contemporary sonic horizons. The feel, concept and texture of the album is very cinematic, like a soundtrack from an imaginary movie.

Bridging an ocean and seven time zones, we have managed to craft a one-of-a-kind personal as well as geographical music connection between Costa Rica and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and so we proved that miles apart mean nothing when the connection is right. We have put tremendous energy and creativity into this project hoping that people who listen to our music will feel the vibe and will enjoy listening to our album as much as we enjoyed making it.
