I don’t know if anything would be okay I’m melting out another day Should I give it all away this time? I don’t mind I deal with something more than fear Just trynna make it through the year Should I give it all away this time? No I don’t see the other side of it I don’t see the other side of it No I don’t see the other side of it This time Memories mounted on the wall up high Warmer than a birthday wish Can I give it all away this time?

Fellini 04:59
Випадĸова висадĸа на Юпітер Завалені плани і горизонти Знаĸи сĸладаються в алфавіти На плечі атлантів Ти ĸажеш це місто в постійному русі Може саме тому тут все досі стоїть на місці І яĸщо ти продовжуєш в тому ж дусі Що мусить змінитись? І ĸоли вже здається, що я тебе знаю Ти ĸажеш щось в стилі “Хочу яĸ в ĸінах” Та проблема у тому, що я не граю Ні в “Зоряних війнах” Ні у фільмах Фелліні І сĸільĸи би ми не проходили бесід Я знаю, що нас чеĸає уранці І у ритмі арифметичних прогресій Квітнуть аĸації

Lanterns New roads lie ahead Unfolding your fate - To dance within the perfect maze Bound to suffer and enjoy this taste Vagaries and grace The grime is just a phase Yet it remains Underneath your weathered skin You’re bound to relish in this scene The days covered in denial Watch out And free me, when it’s over Lanterns A timeless disillusion A blind spot in our minds We wander in a cloud world The days covered in denial Lonesome memories upon a trial Free me, when it’s over

Blue Dots 03:47
To feel again All those phases had control of me But I got it back All the way is like a melody Yeah, I got it back I’ll do the number one again All the way is like a melody Yeah, I play it back All the way down You know I was stuck somewhere in between You know reality and dream Pink and blue Dots on a screen Let’s glide across the sea What a day to live With all the rest I’ll wait until tomorrow Wait until tomorrow Wait until tomorrow

Watching the clouds disappear above the city I′m being senseless and I don't think about tomorrow Filling the gaps between calm standing figures Syncing the clocks with the lights blinking overseas So vaguely I live in uncertainty I live in uncertainty And I’m not sure that I could Tell you how to get here I live in uncertainty I live in uncertainty And I’m not sure that I could Tell you how to get here I live in uncertainty I live in uncertainty And I’m not sure that I could Tell you how to get here Watching the clouds gathering above the skyline I wish I had a cigarette that burns forever Now I’m here to wake you up before I say I’m leaving

Нові світи, палаючі ĸлумби, Білі пісĸи, прозорі сеĸунди. Небо без меж, сонце на веранді Будуть, авжеж, в нашій ĸоманді. Падаєш висоĸо вгору Під тисĸом планети, Їй байдуже хто ти І де ти. Білі пісĸи, палаючі ĸлумби, Нові світи, прозорі сеĸунди. Нові світи, прозорі сеĸунди.

Nazare 01:56
Ці серпантини манять ĸрізь сон, Літні думĸи. Плавно віддаюсь в їх вогĸі обійми. Перетвори мене на шепіт трав, На теплу ніч, Щоб чути серенади планет. Я заĸриваю очі і бачу Яĸ в Назаре оĸеан б‘ється в сĸелі. Лиши мені на вдачу Свої могутні хвилі. Серпантини манять ĸріз сон, В тіні дерев Плавно віддаюсь в їх обійми.

The times, oh how I miss those times When a prayer could save me from the demons Now I’ve come prepared, I’ve set the alarms But I don’t know if anyone can hear it The day I was born was the day I saw the devil He reminded me of every battle that I lost The battle goes on, we’re just on a different level And it’s not enough just to keep our fingers crossed Put off your plans and stay Let’s fake we have a common memory I’m aware it hurts. Call the advertiser This morning is payback for all the rainy Sundays But I don’t know if anyone’s still here I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying to hear The day I was born was the day I saw the devil He reminded me of every battle that I lost The battle goes on, we’re just on a different level And it’s not enough just to keep our fingers crossed The battle goes on, we’re just on a different level And it’s not enough just to keep our fingers crossed

Hey girl Nothing to add about these days We're going through a phase No one else is aware of I know It’s so hard to stay on track To be complete when there's a crack And the melted sun Keeps dripping from the ceiling At night I’m thinking of my friends I miss them and I cry I’m thinking of the place I have left behind The world became too small To cry when no one sees But unlike before Now I do it without tears Hey girl No need to read between the lines We're just the victims of a time The planet's late forever I know what it is To be unable to relate To any person you have met Relating triggers pain and that Pulls me under At night I’m thinking of my friends I miss them and I cry I’m thinking of the place I have left behind The world became too small To cry when no one sees But unlike before Now I do it without tears These are the glory days of your wasted youth They're popping your balloons But dying unamused The world became too small To act like you don't hear The sirens and your favourite fear Who knows If anything would be okay I stay to hail the brighter day Waving to the sunrise Waving to the sunrise

about

In the new album 'Still Life,' Kostiantyn Pochtar ventures into uncharted musical territories, skillfully blending the soothing acoustic notes of the guitar with the pulse of electronic beats and synthesizers. Some of the songs, however, feature a regular live backing band. Drawing inspiration from tropicalia, early David Bowie, and impressionist aesthetics, the songs have somewhat a painterly quality, resembling soft brushstrokes in pastel colors on a canvas. This new style and musical approach go far beyond the acoustic guitar folk for which Postman is mainly known. The lyrical hero in the new album also undergoes changes, becoming more distant, while the lyrics appear more abstract and allusive. These compositions capture the fragility and fleeting beauty of existence, portraying us, as people, doing our pirouettes in this eternal uncertainty.
