▶ LYRICS (turn on subtitles to see them under the video):

Let's play a game that we're not equal
I'll be the cat – you'll be my prey
The rules have no end
Eventually the roles will be swapped
There's no need to rush

I can't breathe
A terrible mistake was made
We've gained and used so much power in such a short time

Let's play a game that we're not equal
I'll be rich – you'll rely on my grace
The rules as we made them work just fine for me
And I hope it works for you too - my brother

Right here
Somebody else is being treated
The way I wouldn't like to be treated

I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I excluded myself
I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I turned away my conscience

After a while I found myself standing by
Stuck in time
I want to be a better human of any colour or shade
I just need to be engaged
Right now

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
A terrible mistake was made
We've gained and used so much power in such a short time

I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I excluded myself
I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I turned away my conscience

Škoda, narazil jsem na vás nedávno 😢to jste končili tour. Snad se ještě potkáme 😊ta vyhranost, světová produkce a sound. Pro mě objev na Česko slovenské scéně. Jen tak prvky Northlane, Circa Survive, Karnivool, pecka!!!

[cyberolas]

No teda, takovou pecku mezi oči jsem už dlouho nedostal! Naprosto skvělá muzika, zvuk, podukce, Díky tipům bandzone se právě stávám vaším fanouškem. Díky kluci.

You're splendid craftsmen of sound:)

Sound 10/10
Songwriting 10/10

The chorus reminds me of tesseract juno.. also soundwise.., it just kicks ass on so many levels

[petrkostera]

To je prostě boží, chytlavé, jste vyhraní muzikanti a ta produkce a konečný sound je světový!!!!😊taky jsem se zamiloval, až ke konci tour, nebyla šance podpořit 😊

[nickpeavey]

Ngl I was looking for reaction vids after listening to Counterintuitive on Spotify bc I like to share the love. I can’t believe nobody has scoped Ions out. They’re right in the middle of it all, if not ahead of the majority. Can’t wait to see what they put out next. From OR with love ❤❤

[ASDAFL]

Amazing track, I can't wait for the next album to drop.

Cheers from Australia!

[FrankCreature]

No tak to mě poser! Naprosto výborný pánové!!!!

[ssiowi]

Superb! Smart orchestration and top notch production techniques. Would love knowing the details around that beautiful seven string. A rig rundown would give great insight into your sound and creative direction. Well done here everyone!

[SuperBlazeomatic]

Hell yes boys this is the sauce right here! I gotta say the s/t album from 2019 is one of my top 5 from that year and will be tough to match but I'm so encouraged by this track. Awesome stuff guys!
