Sharp Stones 03:49
Но хватит о поэзии давай поговорим о тебе! откуда у тебя острые камни? кто их заточил тебе? В чем твоя ноша? почему ты страдаешь? Увядшая, дряблая кожа. в темноте не всегда умираешь. Кто показал тебе боль? Кто дал этому имя? Кто объединил всех на лодке? И в конце столкнул с берега? Кто думает о находке и веслах эзотерики? Откуда происхождение этого? Вечные вопросы- Китайцев и римлян: Кто изобрел первый корабль? но хватит о поэзии Хватит о войне. Давай поговорим о тебе! Откуда у тебя острые камни? Кто их заточил тебе? [english] But enough about poetry! let's talk about you! where do you get sharp stones? who sharpened them for you? What is your burden? Why are you suffering? Withered, flabby skin. you don't always die in the dark. Who showed you pain? Who gave a name to it? Who united everyone on the boat? And at the end pushed them off the shore? Who thinks about treasures and oars of esotericism? Where does it come from? Eternal questions by Chinese and Romans: Who invented the first ship? But enough about poetry! Enough about the war! Let's talk about you! Where do you get sharp stones? Who sharpened them for you?

Dusty AC 06:33
Кто-то все медленно перекладывает Незаметно сдвигает все от всех. Просто посмотри, например, вверх- Вдруг что-то покосилось вниз, И отвернулось от тебя. Там нет места, где были твои ноги! Больше нет оси, вокруг которой Голова вращалась бессмысленно Темнота. Я сижу на балконе и смотрю вверх. Я замечаю пыльный кондиционер; он вращается, как моя жизнь. Волосы застряли в нем. Я смотрю вдаль, где много окон. Там есть жизнь. Не здесь. Безлюдно давно. Я готова к отсутствию встречи. Все квадратно, убежать невозможно. Красная лампа – как знак утешения. Ночью надежды нет. Все темно, даже если оно красное. [english] Someone is slowly shifting everything Imperceptibly shifts everything from everyone. Just look, for example, up- Suddenly something leaned down And turned away from you. There is no place where your feet were! There is no longer an axis around which Head spinning senselessly Darkness. I sit on the balcony and look up. I notice a dusty air conditioner; it spins like my life. Hair stuck in it. I look into the distance, where there are many windows. There is life there. Not here. Deserted for a long time. I'm ready for the absence of the meeting. Everything is square, it is impossible to escape. The red lamp is a sign of consolation. There is no hope at night. Everything is dark, even if it is red. Dusty air conditioner; It spins like my life. Hair stuck in it. The red lamp is a sign of consolation. There is no hope at night. Everything is dark, even if it is red.

Na Trone 06:03
На троне Ты просто хочешь подтолкнуть кого-то, Но что не позволяет тебе? С кем ты разговариваешь, когда тело и ты в беде? Смерть подняла себя на трон В чужом месте, лежащем в одиночестве. Смерть подняла себя на трон, Не требуется и пророчества. Все хорошие, плохие, худшие и лучшие уже в белых пальто. Храмы и сады иллюзорного- Ничего не похожего. Ад топчет с торжественным звуком, нет земных криков, одни лишь больные стоны--с потерей виновных. Вся моя жизнь — это угасающая волна прошлого порыва, Глупо соперничать со смертью, Она победит. Выносимость невыносимости Остаются лишь стены зависимости. Беспокойно под небом, Воды лежат. Красное свечение ветром, ракеты летят! более красное свечение Тускло на Западе, низкий воздух. Смерть подняла себя на трон… On the throne You just wanna push somebody But what doesn't let you? Who are you talking to when the body and you are in trouble? Death has raised itself to the throne In an unknown place, lying alone. Death has raised itself to the throne, No prophecy required. All the good, the bad, the worst and the best already are in white coats. Temples and gardens of the illusory have nothing similar. The hell tramples with a solemn sound, no earthly cries, only sick groans of those who are guilty ones. All my life is a fading wave of the past impulse, It is silly to compete with death, It will win. Unbearableness of unbearableness, Only the walls of dependency remain. It is restless under the sky waters lie down. Burning in red by the wind, rockets are flying! more red burning, Dim in the West, low аir. Death has raised itself to the throne...

Ты для меня лишь доска, не больше Я одной пулей разнесу тебя в щепки. Разнесу, разломлю тебя на две части. Но, У меня есть мощный наркотик, Ты его принимаешь и ничего не делаешь, Ты ничего не делаешь пять дней подряд. Ты лишь доска, доска, не больше, я тебя расшибу, расщеплю, раскрошу Одной бесконечно тяжелой пулей, Разобью тебя на четыре части. О, невзгоды войны! Угрозы и тревоги войны! Можно утратить периферическое зрение, можно обжечь сетчатку порохом, от яркого света мутнеют хрусталики, при вспышках огня, если не закрыть голову, на краю зрения мелькают черные пятна. Поэтому У меня есть сонный наркотик, самый мощный, из всех что имеются. Я даю его тебе, и ты ничего не делаешь пять дней подряд На землю тень упала, Смертельный пот на лицах городов, Грязь под ногами не исчезает Пуля не попадает. Нет места для побега. [English] You are nothing but a stick to me. I could shatter you with one bullet. Break you up, break you in two pieces. But, I have the most powerful sedative, You take it and do nothing, Five days in a row. You are just a stick, I could break you up with one everlastingly heavy bullet, break you in four pieces. Oh, the dangers of the war! The threats of the war! You can loose your peripheral vision, gunpowder tears at the retina, cataracts grow in the light of the sun, in the light of the flares, if your head is bare, you can see black spots in the corner of the field. So, I have the most powerful sedative, You take it and do nothing, Five days in a row. A shadow fell on the ground, Deadly sweat on the faces of cities, Dirt underfoot does not disappear. The bullet doesn't hit. There is no place to escape.

Black Holes 03:35
Почувствуй жар открытого огня. Почувствуй, кнут срывает эту плоть с моей кости. Кажется, это конец. Может быть, нам было бы лучше умереть. Черные дыры и смысла в них нет Черные дыры и смысла в них нет Они торчат в разные стороны Но человек-карлик сидит, в замкнутой галактике. Он без ушей и без глаз, Странная тактика. Телефона нет, друзей нет. И что хуже-- есть только черный цвет. Это было так давно, это происходит сейчас Черные дыры на месте-война идет. Ничто во Вселенной не может двигаться быстрее света ничто, даже свет, не может покинуть чёрную дыру. "дыры" не могут светить ни своим, ни отражённым светом! я не передумаю никогда У каждого бродяги история своя. И огонь жжет Не заканчивается продолжается и продолжается. Я не могу ждать вечно. Как побороть сумерки в душе! [english] Feel the heat of an open fire. Feel the whip rip this flesh from my bone. It seems to be the end. Maybe we'd be better off dead. Black holes don't make sense Black holes don't make sense They stick out in different directions But the dwarf man sits in a closed galaxy. He has no ears and no eyes- Strange tactic. No phone, no friends. And what's worse - there is only dark. It's been so long, it's happening now Black holes in a place - the war is on. Nothing in the universe can move faster than a light. nothing, not even light, can leave a black hole. holes cannot shine either by their own light or by reflected light! I will never change my mind, Every vagabond has own story. And the fire burns, Doesn't end, goes on and on. I can't wait forever. How to overcome twilights in a soul.

[english] 发疯的蝙蝠(Fāfēng de biānfú) Psycho Bat! She can’t decide where to go: Shanghai or Kyiv. One or two? Dormitory for Creative Living In bat's head she is- One is a wild soldier lady Another one is a fancy goddess. One or two? Dissociative image Of the whole bat cell. Unconsciously cribbed, Pasted on the planks. Psycho bat! Flying to Shanghai or to Kyiv? Bipolar bat Delusions of her dreams. One or two? She thinks she is two bats Psycho bat! occupation of the land- the holy intervention. bat thinks she is psychologist!

Stairs 11:47
I fell down the stairs in Guangzhou, brushing my hair and playing percussion I lost consciousness before I had spoken, I fell down the stairs but nothing was broken.

about

Tempo Mutilação (or “Время Увечий” in Russian) is the debut album by Meta Golova, a music and sound duo formed by Siberian artist Lena Kilina, and Brazilian musician Carlos Issa. Bringing exhilarating melodies (aka. BRICS-Punk) to the worlds of music and art, this work is a multilingual foray into electro punk sound, haunting and moody vintage groove box, underpinned by Lena Kilina’s deep vocals.

Far Eastern poetry and urban tragedy are synthesized in the compositions that reflect contemporary situations, like the permanent collective sightings of a unfinished war. At the same time, São Paulo, where the duo is based - a place of permanent urban revolution, gentrification and inequality - has a big impact on Meta Golova's sound.

When the music began to flow, the duo found out their approach, creating multi layered refreshing songs together in a tiny home studio at the core of this megacity. Challenging the culture of submission to circumstance, this album nudges the audience to think about the tragic situations that humanity is facing, as well as the hope and will that moves us forward to the future changes.

Tempo Mutilação consists of 7 compositions dedicated to survival in this insane world, written mainly in Russian, currently the language of dissidents and refugees, and one in Mandarin Chinese, “Morcega Psicopata”.

The opening track, “Sharp Stones” is inspired by Greek poetry and the sacramental questions "who sharpened your stones". “Dusty AC” is about loneliness in isolation, where one’s life is spinning fast and cold like an air conditioner. “Na Trone” (meaning “On the throne” in Russian) talks about death and sadness in the light of the current war. “Female Soldier” is also dedicated to the war, but more so to the wiliness to fight against injustice. “Black Holes” presents a not-so-unlikely analogies between the Brownian movement of a galaxy and the crazy Russian politics orientations. “Morcega Psicopata” is a tale about a bat that has bipolar tendencies and can’t decide where to go, Shanghai or Kyiv. The last composition, “Stairs”, closes the album with a hope for the future, based on a true story of how to fell from Chinese stairs and not to break any part of the body. 88!
