em todas emissoras
 por todo o país 
 sombras voadoras on every channel
all over the country
 flying shadows atenção! eram só fake news
 não acreditem nas fotos
 relatos e vídeos
 foi um fenomeno meterologico
 que causou uma ilusão de ótica beware! it was all fake news 
don't believe the pictures
 stories or videos
 it was purely a meterological happenning
 causing an optic illusion

ready fast they've cleaned up last your gore side effects were left on the synthetic argument we had other day we gone away you're left astray I feel like an ashtray by your side your just behind my soul gone on a hole I want to get back on the good old gold times you felt behind one last time your slobbing is costing me and I'm costing my self coasting around like a book on shelf nobody fucks with me
 fuck all these complaints
 victorian dresses I'm filled with acid
 I see nothing in this weeding
 hidden in a corner
 writing a rap song like a burden
 the groom fees so happy 
and so does the bride
 while I'm hiding feeling so dead inside
 I don't know either name but who cares 
 I just wish they had enough time to be fair
 and to give me the microphone
 to rock it from the dome
 or maybe reading from my cellphone 
not enough
not enough
 your memory is a bluff
 fulled of bias
 your weak ass liar liar
 investigate 
 why the fuck you're fulled of hate
 why I scramble to stay awake
 bring us the information
 let's sue those corporations 
let's be meaningful we're lost

subindo lentamente
me u corpo está nas nuvens 
uma vasta escuridão
 sob a sombra eu voo
 sob a sombra eu voo
 e me torno um
 sob a sombra eu voo 
 e me torno um
 abudizdo
 abduzido
 não pude dar tchau aos amigos
 pois eu fui abduzido
 subindo sozinho 
se lembrem que eu fui
 abduzido slowly going upwards 
my body is in the clouds 
under the shadow I fly
 under the shadow I fly
 and become
 an abducted 
yes I become an abducted
 I could not even 
say goodbye to my friends
 because I have become
 an abducted
 (going up slowly)

100% Kelly 01:54
chapado superpoderoso eu sou o cara o anjo
 chic chic dá um outro hit
 que se eu chapar demais então ficamos quites
 bong de vidro cheio de gelo refletindo a luz
 devaneio devaneio
 vem aqui cachorriho morde fora minha mão
 quem te alimenta é um sistema da depressão
 contando ovelhas negras pra ficar acordado 
misturando comprimidos remédios errados 
televisão ligada remakes de remakes 
com atores mortos no passado presente 
e no passado distante 
eu já vi isso antes em um passado passado 
o corvo com brandon lee filmado em 94 high superpowerful I am the man the angel
 chic chic give me another hit
 If I get too high than we are fit
 glass bong reflects light 
come here little dog
 eat out my own hand
 those who feed you
 are the system of depression
 counting black sheep just to stay awake
 mixing pills with the wrong medicine 
television on remakes of remeakes
 with dead actors from the future of now 
and in the distant past 
I seen it before
in a post past
 The Crow with Brandon Lee
 filmed in 1994

7.
your psychologist killed himself today
 you bury your pain in musical instruments hand-made
 I never thought
 that I would cry this much
 that I my music would really matter 
I swear that I am (melancholic grunts)

todos seremos imortalizados como conteudo
 me parece algo que diria o lupe
 me parece algo pra postar no facebook
 mas é verdade
 seremos tragados pela sociedade
 divididos em caixas e selecionados
 rotulados e no coletivo imaginario
 seremos mais lembrados pelos thumbnails engraçados
 fuck que otarios
e eu preso nos cabos
 sem conseguir andar
 tem a skynet mas não tem mais ceu
 o universo online já se vendeu
 recem nascido com entrada usb ponto quatro
 wifi no seu corpinho antes de sair no parto
 clonado 
multiplicado
 digitalizado
 impresso em 3d 
 assim ouvi dizer 
 que é o unico jeito 
de viver pra valer 
lapides com maximo de caracteres 
lapides com maximo de caracteres 
(mas elas já não tem?)
 antes nossas casas eram de madeira 
agora nem mais físicas são we are all going to be immortalized as content 
it seems like something lupe would say 
it seems like something to post on facebook
 but it really is true
 we are being smoked by society
 labeled and in the collectives imagination
 we will be remembered by our funny thumbnails
 fuck some losers
 and here I am wrapped in cables
 skynet is here but there is no sky
 the online universe has sold itself
 newborn with USB entry 4.0
wi-fi in its little body before it leaves the womb
cloned
 multiplied
 scanned
 cloned
 multiplied
 scanned
printed in 3d
 so I heard 
it’s the only way to live
 tombstones with a character limit
 tombstones with a character limit (wasn’t it always like that)
 our houses used to be wood 
now they are not even physical 
our houses used to be wood
 now they are not even physical

helena na loterica
 um tanto esoterica
 sempre de moda histérica
 nunca genérica helena the lottery teller
 a bit esoteric 
always in a fashion histeria
 never generic habito diário 
mega-sena com a helena
 seus olhos tão escuros 
refletiam a cena daily habit
 lottery betting with helena 
her eyes feel so dark
 reflecting the scene coragem sempre me faltou
 tocava-mos as mãos no troco 
ela me olhou e disse muito obrigado never had the courage
 we touched hands exchanging change
 she looked into my eyes and sayed "thank you very much"

10.
tudo se resume 
 mas mano eu não sei no que 
mas mano eu não sei no que
 everything is just
 something that I dont know 
something that I don’t know man
 everything is just
 something that I don’t know

about

In the 10th-century Byzantine manuscript, Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, many places and trade goods are described, among them is LAKKOS CHROMATINOS, an object that remains unknown to this day. The word Lakkos has not appeared in any ancient Greek or Roman literature. The Periplus was also known to have many grammatical mistakes, so the mystery continues. What is Lakkos Chromatinos? Is it a musical instrument? A color? A weapon? An ancient sex toy? We will never know. As of right now, it is the latest Rafael de Toledo Pedroso álbum.

Rafael de Toledo Pedroso is a brazilian musician, focusing on experimental hip-hop, weirdo electronics and wonky ballads. Lakkos Chromatinos are ten tracks about the unknown, in every known way. The known-unknown. Fusing a garage mindset with digital approach, the project is as diverse and authentic as the trade goods in the old Periplus of the Erythraean Sea.

Rafael de Toledo Pedroso is also known as the creator of the noise project deus1 and for using the monikers heche, DJ Pai Ausente and Summer 2015 besides variations of his own name. He's been working on and releasing a diverse musical catalogue since 2011. Currently can be found around Paraná, Brasil.
