about

Kobayashi are a strange band.

Not strange as in weird (except, maybe, for guitarist Alan) ... more but strange as in hard-to-define. Linkin Park, Basement Jaxx, Roxy Music, Queen, James Brown, Tom Waits, The Stooges, Gomez, Bowie and Muse are just some of the artists we’ve been compared to. We don’t try to sound like any of them. less

Track Name: Playing With Fire
I’m gonna get burnt
I shouldn’t do this
You’re gonna get hurt
If you see through this
I’m gonna get burnt
There’s something wrong with me
But what if we weren’t
The slaves of insecurity?

Every word lights the world again
Another step closer to the end

Everything about this is wrong
Why do we love it when there’s something going on?
Everything about this is wrong
(And) we wonder why we sink when it’s sand we build our houses on

I’m feeling the heat
I should have known it
From my head to my feet
I can’t disown it
I’m feeling the heat
It burst the bubble
I should make a retreat
I’m in the rubble

Stupid thoughts got my heart’s desire
Because we ought not to play with fire

Round and round and round we go
I want to stop, I can’t say no
Down and down and down we go
Just let me off, let’s take it slow
Track Name: Public Persona
Where’s the line, where’s the line?
I didn’t see it as it blurred
What’s the time, what’s the time?
I know they said, I never heard

Open up, open up
‘cause I don’t recognise this face
It’s like we’re stuck, we’re always stuck
Because we’re standing in this place

Everything to everyone

Who’s the man, who’s the man?
It isn’t me, no not today
Yes I can, yes I can
But just not yet, there’s just no way

Everything to everyone

Always happy, always sad
I’m every thought you ever had
Track Name: Becoming The Same
Hard work didn’t build that body
The sun didn’t grow this tan
She is the bionic woman
I am the synthetic man

Humour free, no irony
A soul that speaks in binary
New, improved, unloved, unmoved
But dressed in all our finery

We’re all becoming the same
In everything but our name
And in degrees of our pain
We make the likeliest gain

True love didn’t hone these feelings
I don’t read because I can
She is the bionic woman
I am the synthetic man

What did we do without “insecure”
How did we even live before
The invention of tension, the inception of stress
Didn’t we used to meet the test?

We’re all becoming the same
In everything but our name
And in degrees of our pain
We make the likeliest gain
Track Name: On The Precipice
We stand on the precipice
Of something truly massive
It happens just like this
When we are blind and passive

History does not play out
On canvas, moving, vast
It creeps and sneaks, no doubt
‘til tomorrow is the past

This is bigger than you
This is bigger than me
This is bigger than both of us can be

Six million
Six million
Don’t tell me not to get excited

No motive, guile or art
But surely you were cheated
Or was midnight in your heart
Were you tricked or were you treated?

This is bigger than you
This is bigger than me
This is bigger than both of us can be

And we turn away
As the truth it stings our faces
And we thought today / And who thought today
We’d never have to face this / We’d ever have to face this

This is bigger than you
This is bigger than me
This is bigger than both of us can be
