The “Java Island” side starts with “White Glow” where a serious percussion workout is blended together with the sharp electric guitar by Indonesian guitarist Al Goz. Backed up by Sneaker’s typical drum work, Slovakian singer Helena and Sneaker himself are dreaming of that mystical light.
lyrics
White Glow
[verse]
Why not leaving home?
To make friends.
To sure come back.
Why not risking everything?
If "everything" is close to nothing.
[bridge]
Nothing is strange itself.
It's us who feel like that.
It's us who leave it known.
[verse pt2]
The theatre - let's play!
All world is a stage.
Yearning and earning.
Let's improvise! Let's jump!
[chorus]
Staring into white glow.
Staring into white glow.
Staring into white glow.
Staring into white glow.
Staring into white glow.
Staring into white glow.
Staring into white glow.
Who needs to shake the dices twice?
Staring into white glow.
Who needs to win the same game thrice?
[verse]
You think you have to...
Who told you? Who can tell you?
So YOU want it.
And we get what we want.
You'll get ... we deserve,
what we agreed to.
[chorus]
[8+8 times]
Staring into white glow.
We have the right to be innocent.
[chorus]
[8 times]
Staring into white glow.
