...E então se passaram 4 anos desde o inÃcio da história; após um grande hiato em sua carreira de cantora, BABUSHKA finalmente dá continuidade à história que iniciou e lança Glam In Gloom, seu segundo álbum de estúdio. Diferentemente de seu primeiro disco, onde retratava uma desilusão amorosa e a confusão mental que isso causava, em Glam In Gloom BABUSHKA se apodera de sua dor, e faz da mesma a sua própria festa. Em tom de melancolia que já é caracterÃstico da cantora, Nea traz nesse álbum um processo de superação, e acima de tudo, um processo de aprender a estar sozinha novamente.

Monólogo inicial
TRACKLIST
1. Turn On The Glam (3:53)
A primeira faixa é a já conhecida Turn On The Glam. O primeiro single retrata o sentimento de ser terminar um relacionamento e se sentir atordoado com isso, não sabendo pra onde correr, mas ainda assim tentando não deixar essa situação o abalar.
LETRA
So turn on the glam!
Nothing will make my heart stop to break, nothing will
Tears are coming to my eyes as a spicy rain, and I can't do a thing
Thinking how I am illusional, how I was the joke again, oh I am so lame
I only think I can do my pain look so fashion and glam, turn on the glam
Turn on the glam
Turn on the glam
Turn on the glam
Turn on the glam, oh, I wish
I was by your side
But you broke my heart
(And it can't be repaired) so you won't
You won't see me cry
So I'll erase you from my mind, and I'll sing
Turn on the glam!
Well it's the time I fake I'm okay but in fact I don't know what to feel, but I turn on the glam
I think it spent too long, and now I have to heal
So turn on the glam (turn on the)
oh, I wish
I was on your arms
But you broke my heart
(And it can't be repaired)
I turn on the glam, I turn on the glam, turn on the glam, I turn on the glam
How I wish, everything went fine
But you weren't by my side (so turn on the glam)
Even if I love you, I don't want you on my life
And you won't see me cry, because I'll just turn on the glam
Oh, I looked right through your eyes
I didn't saw any feeling inside
I didn't felt, any feeling on your heart
You don't love me anymore, so I'll not cry on your front
So I'll turn on the glam, to hide the tears on the darkest times alone
So I'll turn on the glam.
2. Bad Day (3:28)
Sabe aqueles dias os quais tudo dá errado e você tem que ficar repetindo para si mesmo que é apenas um dia ruim para não surtar? Então, basicamente é sobre esses dias que Bad Day fala. Por mais que não acredite em si mesma, a cantora segue repetindo que é apenas um dia ruim e tudo vai passar.
LETRA
I've only got a bad day
I'll start again
Cause it was only a bad day
I believe this bad phase will pass, don't know how, but I think so
I think I'm having only a bad day, like all the other days, of the whole week
Or of the month, or maybe of the year, but I want to believe it'll pass
These bad days are so long, I'm smiling on desperate, crying while smoke three cigarettes
But I'll not fall this time, I prefer to believe it's only a bad day
I've only got a bad day
I'll smile again
Cause it was only a bad day
It looks like more I advance on life, worst it becomes to hold
Everyday a different identity crisis, like I have no home
I always believe tomorrow it'll get better, but it never gets the way I want
But today is not tomorrow, so I always postpone to the tomorrow and tomorrow doesn't exist, am I procrastinating?
I've only got a bad day
I'll cry again
Cause it was only a bad day
I'll scream again (Uh)
I've only got a bad day
I'll feel the pain
Cause it was only a bad day
These are yellow smiles, of me trying to fake everything is fine with me
So I'll light another cigarette, and believe it's a bad day
Cause in fact everyday, it's a brand new day, everyday everyday
I've only got a bad day
I'll smile again
(Or I think I will)
Cause it was only a bad day (Uh)
I've only got a bad day
Tomorrow I'll be better than today
Cause it was only a bad day
And I won't break
Cause it's just a bad day
3. ...Young? (3:41)
Young é um questionamento. A artista começa a refletir que os dias ruins podem ser resultantes da pouca idade e da sua falta de maturidade. Mas e seu não for...? E se for incompetência mesmo...? É o que aflige tanto a artista na terceira música do álbum.
LETRA
I'll not lie that my heart is still broke, and things are not better than before
I'm waiting it to pass, I'm reaching my breaking point
Everything is going wrong by now, nothing's certain
I don't have no place, and the future is still gray
It makes me afraid, cause what if I lose again?
I know I'm still too young
And I need to grow, but what if this lasts forever?
If I'm not that good?
What if I lose, if I lose, if I lose?
This makes me anxious as hell, cause my life's not too good by now
It feels like I should be in control, cause I'm not a teenager anymore
So everything is still going wrong, but is better believe that's because I'm too young
But what if it's not? What if I'm not that good at all?
I know I'm still too young
And there's too much to grow, but what if this lasts forever?
If I'm not that good?
There's a motive why everything's going wrong
What if it's me?
What if it's not the age?
What if I lose, if I lose, if I lose?
Because I know I'm too young
And I don't have nothing on my own
I can't keep anything or anyone
Cause my future is still unknown
I know I'm still too young
And I need to grow, but what if this lasts forever?
If I'm not that good? But I'm too young
4. Depressingly Amazing (3:23)
Depressingly Amazing pode ser caracterizada como uma tentativa de esquecer dos problemas. A música fala sobre beber e tentar se divertir um pouco para tentar esquecer dos problemas pelo menos por alguns breves momentos.
LETRA
Everything's cheap, it's so cheap
At the same time it's so exciting
I'm surely having fun, and going to the fall
Feeling free, falling free
Trying to party up to forget, about the world, I'm caged in
So put another drink on the table, I want to forget about it
This place is depressingly amazing
I don't want get out of that
My amorous life is dead, and I fucking hate my life
Please let me have some fun, cause if I go home I'll gonna cry out loud
I'm annoyed about everything that happens on the week, the bad days are on repeat
I'm living like the problems are not there, and I'm fine, but I just wanna cry
So I don't want nothing perfect tonight, I wanna be cheapy high
This place is depressingly amazing
I don't want never get out of that
My amorous life is dead, and I fucking hate my life
Please let me have some fun, cause if I go home I'll gonna cry out loud
I don't wanna talk about that, let me forget about my life
Please let me have some fun, cause if I go home I'll gonna cry out loud
Oh my God, I pose so strong, but I am so weak
And all these things are making me sick
My amorous life is dead, and I fucking hate my life
Please let me have some fun, cause if I go home I'll gonna cry out loud
I don't wanna talk about it, let me forget about my life
Please let me have some fun, cause if I go home I'll gonna cry out loud
I'll gonna drag me down now
I'll fake everything's fine
I'll be just high tonight
So anybody will see me cry
5. Miss You (3:41)
Essa música fala nada menos sobre... Saudade. Apesar de tudo que Nea está passando para superar, há alguns momentos em que ela sente saudades do que viveu alguns meses atrás. Até porque nenhuma superação está isenta de fraquezas.
LETRA
I don't know if it's love, or if it's only desire
But sometimes it feels like you'll never get out of me
It's like you rented an apartment, here inside my mind
And you're living inside my head, I can't kick you out of my brain
And I miss you so much when I'm alone at the night
I want just all your kisses, and everything, you're so good making
I need your body against mine
I don't care if it's on sex, or if it's on a fight
I just want you there
I think I'm just sad, and missing you
I think I'm just sad, and missing you
I tried to kiss another boys, I tried to find someone good enough to put on your place
You'd crushed my ego, became theme of my therapy, and I know that I made the same in your head
So why are we still needy of each other? Why are we keeping coming back again, again on a looping track?
I feel like we're walking in a circle
Like the end of every sentence on my life will always be you
What we have is too much intense, there's the love and hate and we're living between
Because we're opposites, we atract and destruct each others pretty well
So here I am
Looking at you
From a safe distance
And I know you're doing it too
Everyone else makes me bored, I like danger pretty well
I'm needy of you, you're the mistake I want to commit
I think I'm just sad, and missing you
I think I'm just sad, and missing you
But I say that it's only me thinking, 'cause I won't comeback now baby
6. Love and Hate (Like Valentines) (4:05)
Essa música fala sobre os sentimentos ruins que uma desilusão pode trazer. Às vezes não notamos que o amor e o ódio... Andam lado a lado. E que em apenas um instante o amor pode virar ódio e vice versa. Não são sentimentos distantes um do outro, e nessa faixa BABUSHKA tenta não deixar o ódio e a raiva de um fim de relacionamento a dominar.
LETRA
What to do when everything just looks so down?
May I find the safe place for not thinking about?
When these thoughts are poisoning my heart
How I manage to just keep the calm?
Am I just hiding the tears?
Am I just hiding the tears?
Am I just hiding the tears?
Am I just hiding the tears?
Coming with the love, always come the opposite
And when my head's not well, it's the opportunity to rise
The bad feelings, and the hate that love brings
Cause love and hate, walk always side by side
Hand by hand, like valentines
Hand by hand, like me and you
Yeah I'm feeling anger cause this time I did lose
And it's poisoning me like it's a disease
I'll not let these feelings make me hate everything
I'll try to just carry on and get conscious of it
Am I just hiding the tears?
Am I just hiding the tears?
Am I just hiding the tears?
Am I just hiding the tears?
Coming with the love, always come the opposite
And when my head's not well, it's the opportunity to rise
The bad feelings, and the hate that love brings
Cause love and hate, walk always hand by hand
Yeah I'm confused, but I already chosen my side
Doesn't mean I'm weak, for not being mean as my mind wants to
I know I need to be careful, for not let my feelings in power
Cause love and hate, walk always side by side
Hand by hand, like valentines
Hand by hand, like me and you
Hand by hand, like valentines (2x)
La-la-la-like valentines, like
La-la-la-like valentines, like
La-la-la-like valentines, like
La-la-la-like valentines, like (2x)
7. At Least I Tried (3:15)
At Least I Tried foi o segundo single do disco, e dentro do contexto do álbum, significa reconhecer que apesar de todos os erros cometidos, e de toda a dor que foi gerada nessa situação, há o alÃvio em saber que houve uma tentativa, por mais que falha. Essa faixa é sobre sermos menos duros conosco, e pensar que a tentativa vale quando você se esforça pra alguma coisa.
LETRA
Because I'm paranoid, and I'm always afraid, of losing, and being alone
There's why I came in this state of mind where I've been all this time long
But I'm not taking it as a curse
No, no, no
I know this isn't the right time
There's why I still just cry, but now I don't wish I was died
Because at least I tried
These tears will pain where it should pain
They won't taste no more like shame, I made this mantra to myself
At least I tried
It might bleed sometimes
But it's not a bother for life, I'm trying to assimilate it, to my mind
These problematic thoughts, still running through my mind, no way to even stop them of happening
But I'm not taking it as a curse
No, no, no
I know this is not my time to shine
There's why I still just cry, but I don't wish I was died
Because at least I tried
I'm trying hard to ease my mind, to not fall in desperate again, so I made this mantra to myself
At least I tried
I am going closer to the light
There's why I still try to shine, with or without you I'll live the best of my life
If I fail, at least I tried
These tears will pain where it should pain
They won't taste no more like shame, I made this mantra to myself
At least I tried
I know this is not my time to shine
There's why I still just cry, but I don't wish I was died
Because at least I tried
8. Glittering... :) (5:48)
Glittering é sobre sentir estar evoluindo, e ver essa evolução em si mesmo. Em Gittering, é possÃvel ver BABUSHKA reconhecendo suas fraquezas, e vendo que está em uma permanente evolução como ser humano, e que quem ela era no passado não a representa mais. Mas ainda falta alguma coisa...
LETRA
I'm used to live in the dark of my head
And who you knew was someone that I really ain't
(I'm glittering me) becoming someone different everyday in my own rhythm
(I'm glittering me) trying to get better everyday even if sometimes I get tired of it
(I'm glittering me) I admit the person you knew last summer was not my best
You must think that I'm still that sick insecure girl but I'm evolving everyday
You only knew one side of me
Sadly you didn't stayed to see what I could be
I'm so much better today, but you're not here to see me glam
Glittering!
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
When you left me, I cried so much thinking about what I did wrong
I was feeling heartbroken like never felt before
Always blaming myself about everything I thought I done
So I wrote a bunch of songs about how I was feeling small
So I had to learn, how to glam on my own
And I wish, you would know who I am by now
Cause I'm better than before, I'm better than before
Glittering!
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
I'm not, the same, cause I never stay on the same place I begin
The process of glittering is quite slow
I had to lost you to restart, and evolve
I wish you knew who I am becoming, but you're not here anymore
I think it was for the best, that everything ended that way
I'm still fighting a war inside my head
I just wish you were here with me
But I'm still glittering here alone
I'm not depressed anymore, I just wish you knew me now, that I'm healthy and strong...
9. NEON Bruises :( (11:19)
E finalmente, o fechamento dessa história. Nessa faixa, que é uma faixa disco de 11 minutos de extensão, BABUSHKA recria tudo que aconteceu e fala dos perigos de ser reduzir para se encaixar em alguém. Nessa música, Nea usa a metáfora de um fim de festa onde se resta lixo, e nada mais do que fez aquilo ser tão bonito e divertido. Então, nesse momento temos que limpar o que sobrou, e seguir em frente.
LETRA
What can I do when the party's over?
And there's nothing besides trash and the same shards, we've left before
When the lights of the discothèque are the only thing that light my face
And it, just makes, the bruises look so neon
When I gave all my energies to make you feel okay, I forgot about me, cause
This party were all for you, I didn't thought about my feelings
Cause I made everything I could for you, and now I don't know what to do with this love
I'm looking to the party I've made, everything screams you
There's your songs, and everything you like
Nothing I set on here, was thinking on mine
There's was my mistake, I won't deny
I made everything for you, not for us
And I should, had made it for both
Now you've left me alone, and I had to reconstruct my mind
Reconstruct my party, all my inside
With all the rage, of a broken heart
I have to clean the shards, of this broken party
Everything in me have a piece of you
Now you've gone, I have to clean my mind, clean my mind
My bruises are made of neon, nothing hurts on me without bringing hope
This time I'll let you go, I'll not hold you anymore
Cause I've changed too much to be what you were asking me for
You just thought that my way it was only too loud
Made it in a way you would like, but that was not me at all
I was feeling so insecure that I would do anything to just fit in what you like
And you'd never looked satisfied, never enough
I think it has never worth it, all the shit I went through for you
Everything I was doing, was only pushing you away, and away, and away
It was never healthy, for anyone
Everything was predicted, to crash and burn, and honestly I have some fault
And I prefer these neon bruises to heal
And I am not sad anymore with this loss
There's the way it have to end, if it's the end
I'll move on to be good for someone
And I think that I just need to let you go
'Cause sometimes loving someone is having to fold
And I love you, and I love me, and I love us, so I set me free
