On Friday mornin' Just keep it holdin' Till it's late at night No wonder why I call you, girl No expectation No reservation It's a sad affair Don't ask me what I want to do Some things will just remain the same No matter what the people say to you Your explanation Justification For yourself to be The person who you truly are The disappointment Go back where hope went When the time is right Oh, maybe we could work it out And when they try to call your name You better start to move away today If you are the one To have a plan Maybe you should go along and just don't care Or maybe you know your friend with benefits Oh nevermind, the world is made of tiny bits Your satisfaction Fatal attraction Is a masquerade Don't look around yourself, too late Anticipation Bad syncopation Do you really know The life is just one crazy show And if you try to play the game Come back when you don't feel the need to blame If you are the one To have a plan Maybe you should go along and just don't care Or maybe you know your friend with benefits Don't you lie when you can be a hit or miss The story goin' Not even knowin' Sometimes you gonna win, it's up to you Well, keep on movin' (Don't say a word) Like you don't know him (Don't be so sure) So glad you got it right, when it's all true

Ove moje riječi Traže smisao Ne znaš kako prijeći Ovaj prvi Pravi dodir Koji gori Kažeš nije vrijedno Biti bez tebe Dovoljno je reći kako dalje U taj novi Put u početak Koji kaže Bit će daleko bolje Suze ostavi dolje, vjeruj mi Treba snage i volje Samo tvoj je Put u početak Čuvaj ga Ova pusta djela (Stvorena) Nikad dovoljna Da bi bilo Puno pokušaja Za taj prvi Put u početak Nema kraja Bit će daleko bolje (Ne daj se) Suze ostavi dolje, vjeruj mi Treba snage i volje Samo tvoj je Put u početak Ove nade Bit će sigurno bolje (Svakako) Nema mjesta za tvoje žalosti Samo naprijed i gore Za nas dvoje Put u početak Želiš ga

Tvoje ime 05:55
Tvoje ime, u ruci Tako draga kao najljepši san Tvoje ime, trenuci Koje vidim samo ovdje i ne moram van Tvoje ime, privuci Nemoj ići da ne ostanem sam Tvoje ime, u strci Kažu bilo bi mi bolje da ne gubim dan Tvoje ime, ponesi Ovaj pogled koji ostavlja dah Tvoje ime, odnesi Svoju nepotrebnu tugu u jedan mah Tvoje ime, u magli Samo čekam da ne izgubim trag Moje ime, galami Jer ne želim biti dolje da ne vidim mrak Tvoje ime Tvoje ime Odlazi u bol, a nigdje puta Rani padne sol, u par minuta Jer tvoje ime Tvoje ime Kao završetak, ovaj petak Nemoj da moram biti nespretan Ko led Tvoje ime, okreni Ovu stalnu jalnu avanturu Tvoje ime, pokreni Samo pazi da ne kasniš za koju uru I reci kako da izdržim Da se ne opržim, moja mala nikad nema mira Moje ime, u frci Zato najbolje da odem do svemira Tvoje ime Tvoje ime Odlazi u bol, a nigdje puta Rani padne sol, u par minuta Jer tvoje ime (Ne zovi) Tvoje ime (Ne pitaj) Kao završetak, ovaj petak Nemoj da moram biti nesretan Svaki put Jer tvoje ime Tvoje ime Odlazi u bol, a nigdje puta Rani padne sol, u par minuta Jer tvoje ime (Ne zovi) Tvoje ime (Ne pitaj) Kao završetak, ovaj petak Nemoj da moram biti uvijek sam Kao metak, na početak Nemoj da moram biti izravan Kao letak, izuzetak Nemoj da moram biti predivan Kao ti

Nije bitno 05:50
Jedno jutro Samo na tren Došao sam na bazen Kosa plava Predivan ten Stanje uma pravi zen U tišini Smicalica Koja čeka na moj red U daljini Dizalica Osmi kat je kao led I ne znam kako možeš me pustiti Zašto nećeš riječi izustiti Koje sada stvari gore u meni I kada da prekinem to Jer nije bitno Kako lažeš, da ne vidim to Jer nije hitno Tamo negdje Izdajica U daljini svemira Moja glava Smijalica Kao mala šibica I ne znam kako možeš dopustiti Samo svoju dušu prepustiti Kamo ovo vodi, a gdje si ti I zašto ne izustim to Jer nije bitno Kako lažeš da ne vidim to Jer nije hitno Oči mažeš, sve je zeleno Jer nije bitno Pitaš samo gdje se nalazi tko Kad nije hitno Zašto moram biti s tobom, ne pitaj Leti ptica lastavica Svakim danom ko Porsche A ja kao vjeverica Samo skupljam plodove I zašto uvijek moram napustiti Stalno sebe trebam učvrstiti Ponekad i nešto izgubiti A kako da predvidim to Jer nije bitno Kako lažeš, da ne vidim to Jer nije hitno Ovi su trenuci upitni

Bicycle 03:54
I'm tellin' you go Don't want it to say so This time I won't be right here ready for you To be another bicycle Not havin' a clue Pretendin' to be true Cuz I wanna be bright and steady to you Just like a real bicycle You wanna be free Stop lookin' at me Remember when the night's been slippin' from you Gotta turn your light on bicycle Whatever the cause Of what happened to us The river on the right's been movin' from you When you're ridin' on your bicycle Whenever you feel that you turn around from your problem (Somebody's gonna leave) And whether you know or not the Things will stay the same Keep on playin' the game Well that's when you know Stop being alone Just tell me all the things you wanted to do And jump back on your bicycle Gotta keep your eye on bicycle Drivin' hundred miles on bicycle Can't stop you on that bicycle

about

Clock Is a Thing of the Past is a second full-length album by Croatian-based project ectratis. It consists of nine original tracks composed by Zagreb-based musician and project leader Matej Blečić. Five songs feature lyrics (written on both English and Croatian language) that deal with romantic relationships and their real-life complexities, while the rest of the tracks are instrumentals.
Stylistically, the release features sound that can be best described as a mixture of pop rock, jazz fusion, progressive and new wave music of the 1970s and 1980s, although various other influences can be heard such as funk, soul, R&B, classical and even electronic music.
Unlike debut album The Artificial Spirit, this release features collaborations with prominent Croatian musicians (most notably Nina Romić), and also performances with ectratis live band that consists of Matej Blečić (vocals, keyboards and guitar), Jelena Galić (back vocals and bass guitar), Ivan Luić (electric guitar) and Tin Brkljačić (drums). The album was released on September 23, 2022 on both digital and CD formats.
