Bad Omen 04:11
I had the weirdest dream last night I think this isolation is fucking my brain I had a dream about you That your hands were sewn on me I couldn’t exist without you You were breathing for me And then we went to our garden to feed our crow But there were more waiting for us You said “That can’t be good luck...it’s time to go” And you left me There Blind ( Ah ah ah) my eyes It hurts (Ah ah ah) my eyes It burns I had a dream about you We were dancing in the dark I couldn’t see without you You were bringing the light And then we went to our garden to feed our crow But it was lying dead in the ground You said “That can’t be good luck...it’s time to go” And you left me Again Blind (Ah ah ah) my eyes It hurts (Ah ah ah) my eyes It burns

Not Friends 03:58
Today I spent my money Today I walked a mile I did all the things you want me to just to see you smile Today you said you need me so Ι slept with you all night Ι threw away all my private life and I left my pride behind Please don't call me a friend Ι’m not your friend Please don't call me a friend I got other friends I want to feel you But you’ll never know I want to breathe in you But I guess that will be wrong Please don't call me a friend Ι’m not your friend Please don't call me a friend You got other friends Today I stayed inside I cried for you all night I said “girl you’ll be fine” so I smoked this through all night and then you decided to reach me you said “I think I need a friend” this fucking word just burns my brain but I said “I’ll there in 10’” Please don't call me a friend Ι’m not your friend Please don't call me a friend You got other friends I want to feel you But you’ll never know I want to breathe in you But I guess that will be wrong Please don't call me a friend Ι’m not your friend Please don't call me a friend You got other friends Help me out Help me out Not friends Help me out Help me out Not friends Help me out Help me out FUCK OFF

Sexyless 03:19
Someday I'll change my life for real someday you'll finally see me someday I'll dry out my tears someday you'll see someday you'll see me Yοu can touch me with your big strong hands You can squeeze me in your head Oh well I can barely cry Or even try to stop you and every time I'm like You always talk about my silhouette You don't even say my name You don't remember when you left me there But if I do, love I'll be a fucking wh***

Silent sea Floating grains touch my heels It seems like gravity fails to fight me Higher than fear I feed my demons with guilts I’m not trying to resist to stop feeling My bones Float Fragments of hope Torn Stones are breaking my thoughts I feel There’s no weight on my skin it’s the first time I hear me Μy presence is real all your fingertips lift me makes no sense that it’s real but for once I can breathe My bones Float Fragments of hope Torn Stones are breaking my thoughts

Save Me 01:46
Save me Into your arms Save me I’m losing my mind
7.
I don't think that you can see It burns the inside It's burning inside me I wanna see Why don't you see? What I see Head down My head goes down down Head loud My head goes loud loud What's this obsession that I have for you It burns the inside It's burning me and you I wanna feel Don't you feel? What I feel Head down My head goes down down Head loud My head goes loud loud

My tears have been dried And I got allergies now I need to take you out need to cut you out I am losing ground You can’t stop me from sinking Down down down I am losing ground Remembering the look that you had when you kissed me Was the same look when you let me drown Can’t believe you can’t see What everybody is seeing This is my last goodbye This is my goodbye A day in reverse Every day repeats your name A day in reverse Every day repeats your name I am listening your songs Keep wondering “Is this it?” You keep saying that it is But sorry, I can’t believe this I feel so tired I want you off my system But you’ve been under my skin You hooked under my skin My tongue is numb And my brain so dumb If I say your name once more I will shoot me down I am so scared to be alone And you're so scared to be with others I never learn to let go And you never to give I wanna hate you so But again it will be too easy So this is my goodbye This is my last goodbye... A day in reverse Every day repeats your name A day in reverse Every day repeats your name I’m gonna say it for one last time And then I’ll be gone forever. I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna kiss you a thousand times And feel you inside me I want your eyes to vibrate Each of my cells again Wanna be liquid for you now But you’re scared of water Why do we, why do we rip our hearts? I want your body against a wall And set me on fire Why don’t we, why don’t we rip our clothes instead? Be the cig you gently touch And fill your lungs with lust I wanna scream your name I wanna give you my body I already gave you my soul How can you, how can you call me "friend"? I've died for you in the past And I can, I can die once more I like it I like it I like it You're afraid to break me You're afraid to hate me You're afraid but that is alright How can’t you, how can’t you, how can’t you, Why can’t you see? Can’t you see that I’m already fucked? This is goodbye now This is goodbye.

Possession 04:39
Silvering hair I cut my finger The drum inside me echoes your existence In darkest thoughts myself falls to deep Boom Boom Pow Boom Boom Pow Pow Feels like I'm failing to breathe What is this thing that possesses me, In the thought of you possessing her? What is this thing that makes my skin ache? Round and round Round round around Feels like I'm going circles again Wondering why my demons fall apart At the mention of her name my heart stops Your fingertips burn my skin alive Boom Boom Pow Boom Boom Pow Pow Feels like I'm flailing around What is this thing that possesses me, In the thought of you possessing her? What is this thing that makes my skin ache? Round and round Round round around Feels like I'm going circles again

Θα έρθει μια μέρα που οι λέξεις δεν θα κρύβονται με υπότιτλους κενούς Ίσως έρθει μια μέρα που το δέρμα δεν θα τρίζει κάθε μέρα σιωπηλά Ίσως έρθει μια μέρα που όλα αυτά που δεν σου είπα θα τα δεις με μια ματιά Ίσως έρθει μια μέρα που θα θυμηθώ να αλλάξω τα σεντόνια σου αυτά Ατυχήσαμε στον κόσμο τούτο εδώ και ας μην υπήρξαμε Ατυχήσαμε στον κόσμο τούτο εδώ και δεν συναντηθήκαμε ποτέ Θα έρθει μια μέρα που δεν θα χρειαστεί να σβήνω όταν σβήνεις ξαφνικά Ίσως έρθει μια μέρα που το σώμα μου θα αδειάσει από αποτυπώματα παλιά Ίσως έρθει μια μέρα που θα πάψω πια να είμαι η ηχώ της μιας βραδιάς Ίσως έρθει μια μέρα που θα θυμηθώ να δέσω τα παπούτσια μου σωστά Ατυχήσαμε στον κόσμο τούτο εδώ και ας μην υπήρξαμε Ατυχήσαμε στον κόσμο τούτο εδώ και δεν συναντηθήκαμε ποτέ There will come a day, When the words will not be hidden under blank subtitles Maybe there will come a day, When the skin will not creak silently every day Maybe there will come a day, When you will see with your own eyes everything I did not tell you Maybe there will come a day, When I will finally remember to change these bedsheets of yours. We’ve been unlucky in this world here, even if we’ve never existed We’ve been unlucky in this world here, and we never really met There will come a day, When I will not have to turn off whenever you turn off suddenly Maybe there will come a day, When my body will be emptied of old impressions Maybe there will come a day, When I will stop being the echo of one night Maybe there will come a day, When I will finally remember to tie my shoes properly We’ve been unlucky in this world here, even if we’ve never existed We’ve been unlucky in this world here, and we never really met

about

VASSIŁINA presents her debut album "Fragments".

"Fragments" is an avant-pop album with dark electronic influences that has been written in London, where the artist had been living for the last four years. Most of the tracks have been written and produced by herself. Part of the album was initially presented as a performance at St.Paul’s Anglican Church of Athens and the Albany Theatre in London in late 2019.

Finishing the album was a challenging process due to the pandemic and the repetitive lockdowns. Her bandmates, Tom Wright and Luke Mannell, who have also contributed to the production of the album, are London based, while VASSIŁINA is currently based in Athens. This was also one of the reasons why the album has been mixed by three different mixing engineers, Tom Wright (UK), Christos Bekiris (GR) and Shuta Shinoda (Hackney Road Studios, UK).

"Fragments" is about the fragmented perception of the self, and shows the continuous journey of the artistic and personal change of VASSIŁINA, revealing a process of finding her voice, fighting her own demons, and embracing her traumas. The 11 tracks are deeply confessional and, contrary to the impression one may have, only few of them have romantic content. The core theme of the album is the human body and the ways in which its boundaries can be violated, leading to the dissociation of it. "Fragments" has a cyclic narrative. The embodiment of emptiness (My Heart is Empty), the psychosomatic effects of quarantine (Bad Omen), the objectification from others (Sexyless), the search for the self (Floating Bones), and the experiences of the body (Atihisame) are some of the fragments that form the whole of the album.

Out on LP, CD and Digital album via Inner Ear.
