ABOUT
Vivid Hues is a Swedish-based duo formed by Slovak musicians Matej Smutny and Juraj Oravec. Inspired by artists like Daft Punk, Justice, The Killers or Arctic Monkeys, they blend electronic production with live instruments to create what they call colorful electro pop. Their sound mixes synthesizers with live drums, guitars and bass, while their performances combine loopers, samples and live playing into an energetic, immersive experience. Every song is driven by a love for memorable melodies, strong grooves and the feeling of nostalgia wrapped in a modern sound.
The duo has already shared the stage at the official afterparty following Boris Brejcha's concert and is currently working on their debut album. Alongside their own music, the record will feature collaborations with several outstanding guest artists, bringing even more colours and influences into the Vivid Hues universe.
LYRICS
HOLIDAY
Tell my mama I’m not coming for her birthday party
Got my mind in a mess, body screaming, sweaty
Don’t you worry, don’t you think I’ll never see you, buddy
Really should have seen it coming
Text my dad it’s gonna take some time to see each other
’Cause my vision’s blurry, I’m not feeling ready
I’m not feeling ready
Will I ever be
We’ve been falling out of heaven’s door
We’ve been falling out of heaven’s door
(Really should have seen it coming)
Against the wall
How many times we’ve tried to keep our self-control
They say nature helps so I stare into a painting
I can’t help myself and it gets me more frustrated
Tik tok, knock knock, are you there
It’s no secret you don’t care
We’ve been falling out of heaven’s door
(Really should have seen it coming)
Against the wall
How many times we’ve tried to keep our self-control
We’ve been falling out of heaven’s door
(Really should have seen it coming)
Against the wall
How many times we’ve tried to keep our self-control
I think I’ll take myself on holiday
I know there might be better days for me
I’m floating on the rusty chain
All I can feel is glory
All I can feel is
(All I can feel is glory, all I can feel is, all I can feel is glory, all I can feel is)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
STATUS QUO
Get up, clock in, stay in line, is all they’re ever used to say
Never take a step too far, living just to fade away
Keep the straight lines to yourselves I’m not afraid to make a turn no
They, they will call you out, why don’t you do what you’re told
Over the hills I’m already gone
Breaking out of your control
I’ll do the dancing all on my own
I don’t count nine to five
At the same place every night
Get drunk just wasting time
Not only work for the weekends
I don’t live by design
Every day repeated sequence
Press play pause and rewind
No I don’t follow status quo
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Get drunk just wasting time
Not only work for the weekends
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Press play pause and rewind
No I don’t follow status quo
They’re all stuck on repeat, same old scene, same dead-end routine,
watch the clock just tick away, sleepwalking through a faded dream.
Counting the hours, the minutes, the seconds,
but what is the point when you got no direction
Following the crowd heading straight for nowhere
Over the hills I’m already gone
Breaking out of your control
I’ll do the dancing all on my own
I don’t count nine to five
At the same place every night
Get drunk just wasting time
Not only work for the weekends
I don’t live by design
Every day repeated sequence
Press play pause and rewind
No I don’t follow status quo
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Get drunk just wasting time
Not only work for the weekends
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Press play pause and rewind
No I don’t follow status quo
SO GONE
Can't stand the fight
the battle raging in me
Leaving the hype
never felt so real
We went far enough, now I wonder
if you hear the thunder
if you feel the same
Not regretting one single moment
I am still decoding
the rules of this losing game
I wanna know why it feels so hard
to let my head win over my heart, my heart
Why all the right moves felt so wrong
Now we’re strangers
YOU’RE SO GONE, SO GONE, SO GONE
Even if it hurts
gotta drink down the truth
We flew for a while
with no parachute
Inescapable feeling
of no sight of healing
we were so tired of waiting
I wanna know why it feels so hard
to let my head win over my heart, my heart
Why all the right moves felt so wrong
Now we’re strangers
YOU’RE SO GONE, SO GONE, SO GONE
So gone, so gone
now I wonder
if you hear the thunder
if you feel the same
Not regretting one single moment
I am still decoding
the rules of this losing game
I wanna know why it feels so hard
to let my head win over my heart, my heart
Why all the right moves felt so wrong
Now we’re strangers
YOU’RE SO GONE, SO GONE, SO GONE
HEAVEN HAS 2 FLOORS
I woke up in the middle of a dream
where the sky was close to me
someone said you made it
but I paused before the golden swing
na na na na
na na na na na na na
stuck in my head
what if Heaven has two floors
I know there must be two
one for me and one for you
one for old dreams, one for new
love on the second floor
Love on the second floor
Tell me honey what
if we
if we're not able to make it hand by hand to Heaven
and you'd go alone
what if I'd do the second floor
Tell me honey what
if we
if we're not able to make it hand by hand to Heaven
and you'd go alone
what if I'd do the second floor
Tell me honey what
if we
if we're not able to make it hand by hand to Heaven
and you'd go alone
what if I'd do the second floor
I know there must be two
one for me and one for you
one for old dreams, one for new
love on the second floor
NORTH SENTINEL
Don't you wanna be
living now with me
I can't guarantee
you and I will be
bet you gonna be
living fantasy
why are you eating me
get my ecstasy
