As the title may suggest, the genesis of “2 Minutes” was influenced by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and it is deeply related to occurrences of private nature: waiting for someone to leave a country in increasing danger at that time, imagining what is actually happening right now and understanding the worries of our previous life do not play their old role anymore.
The language used for the lyrics is the one we have all become more aware of these days: a bellic saturation of concepts projected but in the perspective of the love siege, detached from the original meaning.
Stylistically the track reminds of the 80ies glam metal, with a determinate concentration on guitar virtuosity, powerful synth lines and paced rhythms. The atmosphere of the track escalates until the final riff in which obscure scales accompany an odd time in ⅞.
lyrics
Two minutes to dare,
Two minutes to run,
Two minutes to swear we won't come undone.
Two minutes to picture how we shone.
Too caught in your lines,
A tension that rises,
A time to unite, a will to divide,
A longing as bridge across confines.
Between OPFERA and Justine
A Substitute for Dom Juan,
Feeling Nothing but Hauntologies.
All the KIX to avoid reality,
All the master's alibis
Disappear in the wait,
Disappear in the glow of the fight.
Two minutes,
Two minutes,
Till you attack,
We got no more resistance.
Two minutes,
Don't hesitate.
Two minutes,
Two minutes,
The battleground of our senses
Surrender.
Two minutes,
Overtake,
Overtake me!
Two minutes to flee,
Two minutes and goodbye,
Two minutes to choose between wrong and right.
Two minutes and you are out of sight.
The days of the chase, the instant of truce,
A moment of bet, who wins, who will lose?
Escalation, no signs of defuse.
Between nostalgia and promises,
We're not eager to succumb,
As the seasons pass by,
Two minutes for you to return.
Two minutes,
Two minutes,
The alarm sounds,
To the pace of the war tanks
Two minutes,
To escape.
Two minutes,
Two minutes,
Don't pacify our senses,
Deliver them.
Two minutes,
Liberate
Liberate me!
Oh, baby, baby, can you hear the sirens?
Oh baby, baby can you hear this voice?
Oh, baby , baby, it's a warzone rendezvous,
Oh, baby, baby, two minutes are hard to endure.
