Fight for your life If death comes tonight My love for you Will live again Trust in me my only friend A 1000 years from now When we're in the ground The legends will Go on to say The bravery we showed that day Locked and loaded Bombs exploding We ain't joking Calling all opponents Breaking all components In the zone We don't ever fold We call it Battlemode Get the message yet Probably best you don't We had to crack the code With every blast and blow Let everybody know We in the zone We call it Battlemode We back in Battlemode Fight for your life If death comes tonight My love for you Will live again Trust in me my only friend A 1000 years from now When we're in the ground The legends will Go on to say The bravery we showed that day You want to play the game We can both take aim It's a dead lock Hit me with your best shot You get put on the spot I'm dodging every plot Before we even start so Are you in or not Get the message yet Probably best you don't We had to crack the code With every blast and blow Let everybody know We in the zone We call it Battlemode We back in Battlemode

Lost again Where you left me friend Are you coming back? Are you coming back? It's so cold without you It's so cold without you If you could see What I've been through Then you would be Discarded too When I close my eyes I see the colors move Just like you Midnight Blue Everything we do Will always be us two I'll never be untrue Forever Midnight Blue Everything we do Will always be us two I'll never be untrue Forever Midnight Blue If I could see What you went through Then I would be Discarded too When the stars fall And I can reach the moon Just like you Midnight Blue Lost again Where you left me friend Are you coming back? Are you coming back? It's so cold without you It's so cold without you If I could see What you've been through Then I would be Discarded too When I close my eyes I see the colors move Just like you Midnight Blue Everything we do Will always be us two I'll never be untrue Forever Midnight Blue If I could feel What you've been through Then I would be Secluded too When the stars fall And I can reach the moon Just like you Midnight Blue If I could feel What you've been through Then I would be Secluded too When the stars fall And I can reach the moon Just like you Midnight Blue Just like you Midnight Blue

Skyscrapers 02:49
Pushed against the pavement Kicked to the curb The time that we wasted I don't wanna be here anymore You could scrape the sky with your eyes if you tried Find me in the city lights Tonight Pushed against the pavement Kicked to the curb The time that we wasted I don't wanna be here anymore Walked up to the fifteenth floor And I was feeling kind of sore As a matter fact I was pretty sure That I didn't want to see you anymore Now here I am Where I stand Did you have a different plan In the high rise Shine like a night light Now in hindsight I was looking for the right fight And I might have just struck dynamite Higher than a kite Following the blueprints Didn't mean to be nuisance But if the shoe fits I ain't gonna be the one with the loose lips Left looking useless Clueless It's abusive Stupid and foolish And I don't need your two cents So you can laugh now Or we can both cry later But I can't hear you while I'm sitting on my skyscraper You could scrape the sky with your eyes if you tried Find me in the city lights Tonight

I wash my hands I rinse my face I made mistakes I made mistakes I can go The distances I don't know What the difference is Because I'm lost at sea I can hear the sirens calling me Because I'm lost at sea I can hear the sirens calling me Promise me Please believe Just make a wish And take the risk Because I'm lost at sea I can hear the sirens calling me Because I'm lost at sea I can hear the sirens calling me

We dont trust each other But we gotta stick together Were best friends forever Best friends forever Long awaited Night and day The stars aligned We parted ways Popped the lock And hopped the gate Solved the puzzle Robbed the safe Got away A minute late A dollar short We cleaned the slate Everything It seemed ok Like loyalty That you portrayed Friend of mine You stood the test of time Till the end I'd do it all again And they say We don't trust each other But we gotta stick together Were best friends forever Best friends forever We don't trust each other But we gotta stick together Were best friends forever Best friends forever Through thick and thin Lose or win Black and blue Marks on my skin Even when I said I hated you We always seemed to Make it through Didn't have to Read the cues You Just always Played it cool Paid Our dues And broke the rules Now i know My wish came true Friend of mine You stood the test of time Till the end I'd do it all again We don't trust each other But we gotta stick together We're best friends forever We're best friends forever We don't trust each other But we gotta stick together We're best friends forever We're best friends forever We don't trust each other But we gotta stick together We're best friends forever We're best friends forever We don't trust each other But we gotta stick together We're best friends forever We're best friends forever

about

Battlemode is the vibrant and irrepressibly energetic work of mismatched but inseparable friends Biff and Astro. Together they create dynamic electro pop that embraces the sounds of the past in order to look forward; incorporating the glitchy 8-bit chiptune sounds that accompanied adolescent days spent playing Gameboys, and reinvigorating them amongst contemporary synth tones and fresh beats.

They call their style “color punk”. Maybe not punk in the stereotypic mold of distorted power chords and breakneck tempos (although those might make occasional appearances), but in the uncompromising refusal to conform. Punk in their desire to create music with the tools available at hand. Regarding the inclusion of “color” in their stylistic descriptor, take one look at any of the rainbow-soaked photos of the duo and there’s no doubt where that moniker comes from. This is some uplifting hip hop, europop, gameboy-wielding, violin-slinging fun.
