Sacred Love versus Derision "Parodie" (Parody) is a fascinating track driven by the contrast between the protagonist’s inner earnestness and the cynical gaze of the outside world. Nicart manages to portray a near-religious devotion, only to have it collide head-on with the harsh reality of social incomprehension. It is a bold song that compels the listener to take a side: do you choose the sincerity of love, or do you join the onlookers on the sidelines in their laughter? The lyrical structure of "Parodie" is cyclical, reinforcing the sense of an unacknowledged testimony. The audio reveals a composition rooted in melancholic Dutch rock, which bolsters the emotional layers of the lyrics. "Parodie" stands out as a poignant highlight on the album *Dodelijke nachtschaduw* (Deadly Nightshade). John Nicart succeeds in capturing the painful sensation of emotional isolation—the realization that what you hold as your greatest love is perceived by others as a joke. Yet, by keeping the music so sincere and powerful, he proves the very opposite of the title: this is no parody, but a deeply serious artistic expression. Translated lyrics: This is the story Of death and life I give myself to you Until the times You are so beautiful This is the story Of life and life I care about you Till death And even further But they view me As a parody But they view me As a parody This is the story About happiness and life I give my soul for you To the vultures Above us This is the story Of miracles I give time with you For no money To another But they view me As a parody But they view me As a parody - Mastered by mixea.commore

Turn it down, turn it down I can still hear you, when there's nothing On Midnight, leaning on the window Blue light, underneath the door I keep walking through the silence, like I walked this road before There's a frequency between us, something neither one will name Every time I almost reach you, you disappear inside the frame I don't know what you want from me, I don't know what I wanna hear But every little sound you make, keeps getting louder in my ear And I've been waiting for a signal, I've been reading every sign I gave you all the empty spaces, now they're taking up my mind If you call, I'll let it ring If you leave, I'll chase the sound I've been giving you the power, to turn my whole world upside down Radio, keep me in your night Radio, keep me in your sight I don't know, if you're near me I don't know, if you're gone Radio, running through the wire Radio, feeding my desire I gave you too much power, now I'm dancing to a signal That was never meant for me Oh, that was never meant for me Morning comes without an answer, coffee cooling in my hand I can feel the city moving, but I don't know where I stand There's a shadow in the hallway, there's a question in the rain Maybe I invented something, maybe you were calling my name I remember how you looked at me, like a door left open wide Now I'm searching every station for the place where you might hide And I've been living in static, between the truth and what I fear Every word I never told you is the one I wanna hear If you call, I'll let it ring If you leave, I'll chase the sound I was looking for an answer, you were only turning me around Radio, keep me in your night Radio, keep me in your sight I don't know, if you're near me I don't know, if you're gone Radio, running through the wire Radio, feeding my desire I gave you too much power, now I'm dancing to a signal That was never meant for me That was never meant for me Maybe love is just a frequency, we mistake for something real Maybe silence has a language, maybe that's what I can feel And if I switch you off tonight, will the room become my own Or will I hear you underneath it, calling from another zone I don't need you, I need to know Why I needed you to need me I hear your voice, in the traffic I see your face, in the glass I keep waiting, for something that already passed I hear your voice, in the traffic I see your face, in the glass I keep waiting, for something that already passed Radio, I don't know, if you're near me I don't know, if you're gone Radio, running through the wire Radio, higher and higher I gave you too much power, now I'm taking back the signal I'm taking back the night, I can hear it right Maybe I was never waiting, maybe I was waiting on myself No more static, no more waiting No more listening, for a voice that isn't there Radio, radiomore
