Riot

This track is in dedication to those that voice is silenced, victims of institutionalised oppression and post-colonialism. The track aim to highlights how violence responses like an upraising (although not justifiable) are often caused by desperation and angers, provocations and lack of justice and it's often the last resource for the powerless.

Run Away

This is an original composition about the condition that forces people to leave their homes and escape to other countries. The idea of immigration seems to be misleading as portrayed as a free choice. People most of the time are forced to leave their home and are not necessary choosing to do so even in cases not as evident like war or natural disasters. Run Away is a song about separation and longing dedicated to those that are forced to escape poverty and oppression, leaving everything behind, and that are often not welcomed wherever they go.
