Artist

The Soundtrack of Our Lives, often abbreviated T.S.O.O.L., are a Swedish rock band that formed in Gothenburg in 1995 and disbanded in 2012, before reuniting again in 2023.

The band's style draws heavily from sixties and seventies rock and punk, such as Rolling Stones and Iggy and the Stooges. Psychedelic rock is another strong influence for the band, and psychedelic and mystical references are also prominent in the band's lyrics and aesthetics.

The abbreviation 'OEOC', which is featured on all their albums, refers to the phrase "as above, so below" from Hermeticism.

Heres a way to take you down, another statement of our time
Heres a way to let it roll, and its a way to lose control
Its not a way to draw the line, its just a way to say goodbye
Heres a way for a new age, another way to catch your eye
Instant repeater 99 were all rewinding to get high

Heres a way to let I go, of all the things you ought to know
Nobody wants to have you near, cause no one listens to your fear
We took you serious for a while but now we hate to see you smile
A true reminder to get by, Instant repeater 99

I'm ready to close my eyes, Im ready to blow my mind
I'm ready to leave you all behind

I'm ready to close my eyes, Im ready to blow my mind
I'm ready to leave it all behind

I'm ready to go this time, away were the faces fly
I'm ready to leave, Instant repeater 99

Ecco un modo per abbatterti, un'altra affermazione del nostro tempo
Ecco un modo per lasciarsi andare, ed è un modo per perdere il controllo
Non è un modo per tracciare una linea, è solo un modo per dire addio
Ecco un modo per una nuova era, un altro modo per catturare la tua attenzione
Instant repeater 99 stiamo tutti riavvolgendo per sballarci

Ecco un modo per lasciarmi andare, di tutte le cose che dovresti sapere
Nessuno vuole averti vicino, perché nessuno ascolta la tua paura
Ti abbiamo preso sul serio per un po', ma ora odiamo vederti sorridere
Un vero promemoria per andare avanti, Instant repeater 99

Sono pronto a chiudere gli occhi, sono pronto a farmi impazzire
Sono pronto a lasciarvi tutti alle spalle

Sono pronto a chiudere gli occhi, sono pronto a farmi impazzire
Sono pronto a lasciarmi tutto alle spalle

Sono pronto ad andare questa volta, lontano dove volano i volti
Sono pronto ad andarmene, Instant repeater 99
