I'm puzzled everyday to see the world is upside down Punished honesty, while crooks rejoice in wealth Meeting ends has become a living nightmare Stripped of dignity, survival's all that matters In silence the system will devour you Your stillness is destined to desert you We're losing our minds but not our souls On the brink of desperation I cry out for hope Awaken now Join me brothers and resist I promise you tonight we'll make a difference Relieve us all from the injustice borne within Together we are strong This can't go on, we must resist Bred like rats by shepherds Scourging underground Living off the scraps which they provide Sentenced to oblivion Shouting at the walls Seeking out the knowledge they deny In silence the system will corrupt you Your stillness will certainly allow you We're losing our minds but not our souls On the brink of desperation We hold on to hope Awaken now Join me brothers and resist I promise you tonight we'll make a difference Relieve us all from the injustice borne within Together we are strong We can't go on living like this Come with me Don't let me down We've come too far to turn around We fight for something beautiful, you see The pain that binds us will set us free

Moonlight 06:45
Pale as moonlight Kindly smiling down While remembrance fades away Hard to feel it closing in She's been there my whole life Watched me rise and fall With no sorrow on her face Hard to feel it rushing in Touching thoughts I long to keep There used to be a time our hopes and dreams were realized Caught in the beginning Plans to live forever As if we'd never change, I overlooked what really matters But those days are gone now And all that's left is an old man Lost inside a blank mind The lights dim down And leave me out in darkness But maybe once I'll get the chance To reach out to golden years Through memories that revive me And only then I'll be set free Reel me out Bring me in Don't let go Hold me tight Keep me close Forever Pale, the moonlight Brightly pouring down Lost inside a blank mind The lights dim down And leave me out in darkness But maybe once I'll get the chance To reach out to golden years Through memories that revive me And only then I'll be set free Lost inside a blank mind The lights dim down And leave me out in darkness Reel me out Bring me in Don't let go Hold me tight Keep me close Take my hand Stay by me Forever

Deep Roots 08:25
You think the world owes you just because you were born Think again, nobody owes you anything You always give them war It's always someone else's fault Everyone's against you Show your face and accept it The problem lies in you You never let go You won't change a thing You deserve nothing and your hands aren't clean Remember there is life beside your own Don't you feel? You're bleeding hate A rotten tree with the roots too deep I don't think you have any soul Take a look and see what you have built Walls so high guarding nothing inside Poor of soul and weak of mind A blindfolded ego makes you live a misleading life You went too deep to raise your throne You're all alone and your hope is gone There's no way back from where you are Face your destiny Redemption is far Poison words are all you got And cheating others is your game A devil in disguise Trying to live in the sky Selling others dirty lies Making your believers slaves Then leave them behind Take a look and see what you have built Walls so high but they break upon sight Frail as your soul, ruined as your mind That blindfolded ego will be your demise What did you learn and what have you gained Treating others like shit, you have just yourself to blame The world is spinning but you remain the same You know, revolution isn't your name What did you learn and what have you gained Treating others like shit, you have just yourself to blame The world is spinning but you remain the same You know, revolution Stuck to the ground Feeding from fear Your time has come Your time has come I'll be here when your kingdom falls I'll be standing here to see it all Your poison words won't convince anymore I will watch you lose your own war

about

PUZZLED (EP) is the product of a collaboration between Bad Salad, South-Korean keyboardist Junghwan Kim, and great supportive fans.

After having successfully toured with Junghwan Kim in Brazil in support of "Uncivilized" (2012), Bad Salad thought it would be a cool idea to invite him back in 2013 to write and record new music together. We wanted it to be a live experience rather than an internet collaboration, with all members writing together inside a rehearsal room. The time Junghwan had reserved to stay in Brazil was limited so Bad Salad decided that the project would consist of a 3-song EP + videos for each song.

To make the experience even more special Bad Salad decided to get the fans involved by setting up a crowdfunding project on 'Pledge Music' and offering a bunch of exclusive packages for those who wanted to directly support and follow the progress of the EP. At that time the project was named "Summer Salad 2013", and it quickly reached its funding goal and was ready to launch.

A few months later and here we are with "PUZZLED". A lot of care was put into this EP, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did this whole crazy international musical experience! It's been quite a ride and we're really glad to finally share these songs with you!
