Nuštar 04:48
Tears falling from my eyes. Words falling from my mouth like a waterfall. Hate falling from my mind. Rage falling from my heart. I’ve been here before. Be careful with the doors you open, some of them cannot be closed. All those years of led and sorrow made me live without tomorrow. Guns and bombs still sound in my ears. Thank you for those lovely nightmares. Please step off my blood red garden and let me cry for all the ones you murdered. Step off! I know me. You don’t know me. You don’t know me at all. I know me. You don’t know me at all. So put your gun down tonight. I know me, I know me. You don’t know me at all. I know me. Do you even know me at all?

Alors 04:24
Si la vie a un but. Qui sans cesse se continue. Le mien vient de changer. Et est maintenant bien décidé. Je ne suis plus la même. À savoir si tu m'aimes. Je me brûle dans mes rêves. Valent-elles la peine ces peines d'aimer? Alors que le jour se lève ma peine d'amour. Qui semble vouloir durer toujours. Me rongeant de l'intérieur détruisant mon coeur, détruisant mon coeur. Alors que tombe la nuit ces idées noires. Qui me tourmentent depuis longtemps. Me disant de te revoir une dernière fois, une dernière fois. Alors. Dans cette vie existe l'amour. Il grandit si lentement. Dans cette vie existe l'amour et meurt si rapidement. Si tu me le demandais je disparaîtrais à tout jamais. Alors que le jour se lève ma peine d'amour. Qui semble vouloir durer toujours. Me rongeant de l'intérieur détruisant mon coeur, détruisant mon coeur. Alors que tombe la nuit ces idées noires. Qui me tourmentent depuis longtemps. Me disant de te revoir une dernière fois, une dernière fois. Alors

Maybe 05:08
Share your optimism with me, I need a joyful ride. Take away these tears within me. I need to scream out loud. Take me away (show me what’s in your eyes). Take my hand (and take away my pain). Fill my soul (it’s empty as my head). I wanna lose control, don’t ever drive me home. Only wounds are faithful to me. They always seem to stay. There’s no money to pay what has no price. Maybe your love, maybe your lies.

Implosion 03:18
Sister darkness, you don’t have to talk to me. I can hear you all the time deep inside my mind. An amplified and magnified implosion. I remember the blue but I can’t remember you. Holy darkness, you don’t have to talk to me. I can hear you all the time deep inside my mind. An amplified and magnified implosion. I remember the blue but I can’t remember you.
5.
Madness 04:24
I've found my way into your mind. And still can't figure who you are. You just keep driving in the wrong way. I can’t keep listening to what you say. This is the path into your madness, a trip that I don’t want to take. Don’t keep me warm into your darkness. Don’t keep me cold into your light. I'd rather be within my blindness than trust in you and your own sight. You talk so much but mean so little. Tell me: who died and made you king? King of lost hopes and missing meanings, of treasures nobody would seek. This is the path into your madness, a trip that I don’t want to take. Don’t keep me warm into your darkness. Don’t keep me cold into your light. I'd rather be within my blindness than trust in you and your own sight.
6.
Now 04:14
When you are a liar no one can trust you. You know the lesson well, I have betrayed you. I didn’t notice I can be fragile. That I can love you but I can’t find my way. Do you remember when our lives were so much fun? Our minds were so detached from all those loaded guns. I should admit I’m not what you were looking for. I should quit every vice to love myself once more. I can’t find answers to my own questions. It’s just a way to say I’m not outrageous. Once more you showed me you have the last word. This time I’m speechless, you left me hanging on. How will you hold me now when you’re outside my dreams. I just keep reaching out trying to touch your wings. I thought you’d never die, you knew you’d never live. I understand it now, too late for me to see. It seems so empty now that you’re so far away. I should have changed your mind, I should have made you stay. I can’t remember why I chose to let you go. Can’t keep my promise now, my shelter is too old. You knew you’d never die, I thought you’d never win. How could I know it’s true? Farewell, goodbye my love.

Nowhere 04:32
I could repress myself. I could deceive you. I only fear that you would be so far away. I could have pleased myself by only hurt you. But I'm not like you, I don't like acting that way. I'm nowhere. I could express myself. I could intrigue you. I only fear that you would be so far away. I could impress myself by only threatening you. But I'm not like you, I don't like acting that way. I'm nowhere. You always seem to believe love is the ultimate greed. You always take what you need, then walk away. It's just a dream inside a dream. Nothing you see is what it seems. You've got a vision of things I wish I'd hate. I'm nowhere.
8.
False 04:58
Why should I lie? I’m not happy at all. There’s a smile on my face but there’s pain in my soul. I can show you everything you want to see, even my heart. But you will never know if that is true or if it’s false. Why should I pretend that I will never cry? It’s a fact I can’t hide all these tears in my eyes. I am losing control for I just can’t deny. Or am I losing my mind? Why should I hide every fault that I make. I am only human and I've made my mistakes. If you don’t want me just because of this I’ll understand. So put that funny mask now on your face and start to laugh. Why should I pretend that I will never cry? It’s a fact I can’t hide all these tears in my eyes. I am losing control for I just can’t deny. Or am I losing my mind?
9.
Magma 04:12
I can see you are far away from me. Closing in, you’re still far away from me. I can see you were always far from me. Out of reach, always far away from here. So come tomorrow. Come near tomorrow. I´ll be there, alright. So for tomorrow, if there is tomorrow. I can wake your eyes. You see me yet you walk away from me. Tell me why, or just stay away from me. Can't you see how you fall away from me? Turn back now. Beg and fall down on your knees. And come tomorrow. Come near tomorrow. I am here, alright. So for tomorrow no more sorrow. Open up your eyes.
10.
Release 03:50
I would explain but I can’t, I just can’t. I no longer want to wait for you. Can’t you see? I don’t have any more time to read your mind. I no longer understand your life. You’ve got a fake map of my soul, not just a broken code. You never seem to get that right. I still do not want to be the one I’d hate to be. Why don’t you set me free? Release me. I would explain but I can’t, I just can’t. I no longer want to wait for you. Can’t you see? I don’t have anymore time to read your mind. I don't want to understand your lies. You’ve got a fake map of my soul, not just a broken code. You never seem to get that right. I still do not want to be the one I’d hate to be. Why don’t you set me free? Release me.
11.
Résistance 05:51
This is my time to punch back. I’ve been knocked down ever since you took him away. I just want my whole life back where it belongs. Punish me for that. It’s free, go on, it’s free. Tell me, god, what can I do for you now? You did so much, I want to pay you back. This is between you and me. Why did you take him away? I have not much left to give. So this is my final offer, I think you’d better take it. There’s no such thing as tears of joy, I blame you for that. Vanish in the dark, why won’t you disappear? Wound and knife at the same time. What would I do with a second chance? This is my résistance against you, against all odds. I don’t believe you anymore. I don’t believe in you.

about

Glasnost are Sophia Doskori and Alejo Parella. She lives in Greece, he lives in Argentina. The band started in 2004 thanks to Community-A NewOrderOnline Tribute To New Order.

They participated with their own bands but then started chatting about making a virtual band through the internet. Their first song was New Order's Crystal that was mixed by Chris Bentley and edited on the CommunityEP under the name of Nemesis. Later on they started making their own tracks and played live on August 6th 2004 on the Community Launch Party in Buenos Aires, Argentina. That was the first step to realize they had something good going on. On 2005 they changed the name to Glasnost and continued developing their own material through the web. They played live one more time on February 7th 2008 at La Brasserie in Heraklion, Greece.

After that they focused on releasing their first album so they started recording and producing all the songs they wrote through all those early years. "Mirror" is a collection of 11 songs that show the band's taste for electronic music, 80's new wave and indie rock, blending dance beats with guitars in a unique way. The album has a complex mix of sounds, with dark ballads, pop melodies, rock attitude and meaningful lyrics. Sophia's precise vocals move into the music soundscapes bringing a variety of emotions to Alejo's compositions. "Mirror" can make you dance, thrill, think or chill making your listening an experience to remember.
