Looking from the inside you feel Nothing on the outside is real Does it really show? All the other kids put you down No one ever wants you around No one wants an alien Never, never thought you could feel 'Cause everything around you stands still But will they ever know? Dreaming of a place far away Know that you were born here a stray Does it really show? Can't make it playing in their games When everyone plays it all the same No one wants an alien Never, never thought you could feel 'Cause everything around you stands still But will they ever know? Looking from the inside you feel Nothing on the outside is real Does it really show? The vision keeps coming at you still 'Cause something deep inside you is real But will they ever know? Never, never thought you could feel 'Cause everything around you stands still No one wants an alien

You’re on the platform And I’m on the train You’re getting smaller, I’m getting away You’re in the rear view And I’m at the wheel I’m nowhere near you No, that’s not the deal You’re on the ground while my head’s in the clouds I only see you if I’m looking down, so long So long I’m gone You’re on the ground while my head’s in the clouds I only see you if I’m looking down, so long So long I’m gone You’re on the platform And I’m on the train I have on headphones I can’t hear what you say You’re in my rear view Getting smaller in size Then I disappeared in a puff of smoke Right before your eyes You’re on the ground while my head’s in the clouds I only see you if I’m looking down, so long So long I’m gone You’re on the ground while my head’s in the clouds I only see you if I’m looking down, so long So long I’m gone You’re on the platform And I’m on the train You’re getting smaller, I’m getting away You’re in the rear view And I’m at the wheel I’m nowhere near you No, that’s not the deal You’re on the ground while my head’s in the clouds I only see you if I’m looking down, so long So long I’m gone You’re on the ground while my head’s in the clouds I only see you if I’m looking down, so long So long I’m gone

about

Easy Star Records is proud to present the third full-length album from Flying Vipers, OFF WORLD, out April 11th, 2025 on vinyl & cassette. After 10 years of instrumental dubwise reggae, the next chapter of the band has arrived, with new addition Kellee Webb’s soulful lead vocals adding depth to the Vipers’ cassette-crafted sound.

While OFF WORLD is largely comprised of original compositions, three covers encapsulate the lyrical and musical themes found throughout the LP: an alienation anthem from Northwest punk pioneers Wipers; the instrumental theme from the cult classic animated film La Planète Sauvage (featuring the acclaimed jazz harpist Brandee Younger); and most likely the first dubwise Sun Ra tribute. Their own singles, like "Believers & Deceivers" and "Jackals," confront the grim reality of modern culture, wondering if life in America (and/or Earth) is worth fighting for or leaving behind. Through it all the drum and bass anchor the music, helping listeners to hold their ground and to guide an escape into sonic space.
