Bliss n Eso are an ARIA Award-winning Australian hip hop band based in Sydney, and were originally known as Bliss N' Esoterikizm for their debut EP The Arrival. Bliss N Eso are currently signed to Melbourne record label Illusive Sounds, and are managed and booked by label co-founders Adam Jankie and Matt Gudinski.
The trio, American MC Bliss (Jonathan Notley), Australian MC Eso (Max MacKinnon) and DJ Izm (Tarik Ejjamai) of Moroccan heritage, have been friends (and have rapped together) since high school. Notley moved to Australia in 1992 when he was thirteen and met MacKinnon at the Glenaeon Steiner School in Sydney.
"When I got to Australia, I met Eso (MacKinnon) and he was the only guy at my school into hip-hop. It was so scarce you'd be lucky to find a hip-hop record in a store let alone a whole section." - Jonathan "Bliss" Notley
"Back then hip hop was basically non-existent; there was no urban or hip-hop section in the CD stores. You'd be lucky to find a couple of albums like a Public Enemy album or something if you went to the CD stores. So I guess that's one of the reasons why Max, who's Eso, and I kinda bonded at high school, I think, because he was really the only other guy in the school who was into hip-hop." - Jonathan "Bliss" Notley
Life takes its toll, time carries on
But with you none of that matters
With you, none of that matters
Having felt your warm embrace
I would travel 'cross this world for you
Nothing else matters for you
Nothing else matters now
(Chorus)
To lay you down, there is only us
The distance, I'll ride, and travel this great divide
I will be with you
One day I know that our dreams will not be shattered
That's why, nothing else matters
Keeping close to you when times of trouble come
Bear in mind, nothing will shatter this trust
Nothing else matters now
(Chorus)
Cant keep to myself
You're a phone call away
I guess that's the price we pay for this life
I would give everything to keep you close
Your indecision has left me dead
In still water I tried to stand
Picture this moment
A thousand words
Turning my back on all you've heard
And when the feeling's gone you'll cry, beg, feel
(Chorus)
I'm emotionless, I'm embracing this
Somehow I still feel alive
I can't handle it
This is what you get
I can see you're terrified
Your fucked up vision has blinded you
To everything that once was pure
You crazy bastard
You've lost your mind to think that I would waste my life
And when the feeling's gone you'll cry, beg, feel
(Chorus)
To say I'm your savior is a lie
Save yourself
You are nothing but a liar and the season is with me
You're caught running scared
Last alone left for dead
I've got to leave when the summers are so long
Set out on a new frontier
Still a ways to go
Believe in myself this time around
Step out to an endless void with no place to go
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be alright
(Chorus)
Say you know this time I'm on my way
No time to reason
Say you know this time I'm on my way
No time for reason
I've got to believe every word I say
Let got of the broken down
Find a place to be
To leave and find a better way
To get back to my life
To get back to me
(Chorus)
I Need to move on
Lose Control
Everyone s in troubled times
It's right for you to let go
The stress, the mess that broke your soul
Take Control
It's your night to be someone else
So put on your face and smile to the fake
This is the time this is the place for
Life
(Chorus)
Let it begin tonight
Life
Let it begin
I'll sleep when I die
There's not enough of this life
I promise to myself I'll never be good
Never be good, never be
Tonight I'm misbehaving
The goal is to hurt myself until I feel my blood begin to boil over
Make it mine
Take control
It's your night to be someone else
So put on your face and smile to the fake
This is the time this is the place for
Life
(Chorus)x2
I should've seen you coming
Just another girl with bad intentions on another winning streak
A pretty bitch with no remorse
I can't fight this feeling
You tore my world upside down
Another target on your killing spree
You're coming closer
Turn around
(Chorus)
Yeah I know just what you are
I know it's not for me
Now it's gone to far, and I smell trouble
Yeah I know just what you are
You're eyes are killing me
Now it's gone to far, and I smell trouble
The way you're looking at me
I'm about to lose my mind
I see your face and I can't.. Get away, get away!
You're closing in now
I can't fight it anymore
I'm gonna regret tonight as you make me scream for more
You're coming closer
Turn around
(Chorus)
You've got me where you want me
I can't fight this now
Send the killer to the front of the line
Can I be first?
Is innocence just part of the lie or am I cursed?
Seems to me I cannot feel the warm embrace of something real
Right in the middle of the front line
Stuck in the middle of the front line
(Chorus)
Look at what I've done
Time is over
Last one to be there, and I'm scared there's a little hell to pay
Front of the line
With arms wide open I can't touch the sky
With mind open I don't wonder why
There's no fire round here as the world begins to burn
Buried in the center
Buried in the cold
There is part of me still underneath the sun, and I feel safe
(Chorus)x2
So let the days turn to weeks
Like so many times before
I've burned so long
Oh my soul is so tired
Feeling like it's working me overtime
No matter how hard I try life just gets the best of me every time
(Chorus)
Day in, day out, I struggle
Can I keep up this fight?
I was meant to be the one who's standing in the light of my dreams by now
Always fought through
Torn but still true
I need something more than just getting by
Am I doing this right?
Fighting for a chance at a better life
Every time I think I'm alright karma keeps kicking me to the ground
(Chorus)
Strugglin' my whole life, I want something
Strugglin' my whole life, I want something more
To wait for me would be like asking you to fail
I know this can't be your fate
I can't hold you back to truly feel happy for once
And bring a light to my darkest days
But I will miss your smile, your hair and your face
It drives me crazy
I know lately I've been out of my head
(Chorus)
My heart and my head say I want more
There's nothing else worth fighting for
But I'm done here waiting on you
Facedown so long, and I'm bending and bleeding for you
This time I'm strong, and I'm done here waiting
What's wrong is why I can't seem to help you along to try and feel real
again
No more goodbyes
I said what I have left to say, and now it's time to walk away
But I will miss your smile, your hair and your face
It drives me crazy
I know lately I've been out of my head
(Chorus)
Oh no I won't back down
No I can't give in
I won't give in
Oh and it's been so long
It feels so wrong
I feel just a little unclear
Gonna tell you what's on my mind
In your eyes I'm the perfect man
There's nothing further from the truth this time
My heart has been trampled on
My walls are reinforced with stone
There's nothing better than to hear your voice
It brings me back down to reality
It's where I see my mistakes bury me
(Chorus)
And I'm climbing out again
I'll be on my way to a different man this day
And I will always love you
I am on my way to a different man this day
I'm climbing out of this hole
Been down here for far too long
I never claimed to be the perfect man
It's no excuse for all I've done wrong
You're my soul, you're my pride
There's nothing better than to hear your voice
It brings me back down to reality
It's where I see my mistakes will bury me
(Chorus)
I feel just a little unclear
Gonna tell you what's on my mind
I feel just a little unclear
Growing up I figured out I'll never be like you
Early on I tried it out, but couldn't see it through
Along the way I found my way, and still it's not enough
You'll never see what I see, and now I've given up
(Chorus)
Please don't leave me now
I'm chasing footprints to keep up with you somehow
All I need is for you to believe
I chose to walk a different path
I could never fill your shoes
I tried to find the middle line
It's not good enough for you
All I wanted was some happiness, and feel free to live my life
I let you down, you let me down, and it tears me up inside
(Chorus)
I wanna make you proud
I've gotta make you proud
I've gotta stay true to myself
I've gotta stay true
(Chorus)
I wanna sing loud
Bring the walls down
Draw back the curtain look inside
There's a monster in disguise
I cannot see beyond their lies
If there's a God he would deny
I must admit I'm nervous of what's yet to come
Have I shown up to this war with and unloaded gun?
Let it go
(Chorus)
Time to say I cannot fall down
I will not fall down
Break away
Break your walls down
Break your walls down
This is my last chance to fly through an uncertain sky
Can't doubt myself anymore and give in to what's inside
I must admit I'm nervous, but now it's time to try
This monster's been here too long so fuck a long goodbye
Let it go
(Chorus)
And I hate to say goodbye to all I've been before
I cannot question why and face it
To feel the warm lights on my skin
To hear a thousand voices cheer for now
I found my own way down
I guess it's all just in my head to find another bittersweet divide
Every moment that I waste on love dark clouds will roll again
(Chorus)
All that I need in this life's right here in front of me
Open my arms to the fear that's inside of me
All that I need in this life's right here in front of me
Taking a chance of a lifetime is all I see
All that I need in this life's right here in front of me
I need the hearts of a thousand strong
Control the road I travel on for now until I'm homeward bound
I guess It's all in fate's hands now to find another bittersweet divide
Every moment that I waste on love dark clouds will roll again
(Chorus)
And I'll never lose my way
Come on together
Sing it together
Because of you
I'll never lose my way
You set me free
All that I need in this life's right here in front of me
Open my arms to the fear that's inside of me
All that I wanted
All that I needed
