1.	I Don't Want This Day To End 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Sitting here by the sea I'm in heaven you lie next to me I'm in heaven Hand by hand crazy for you, I can't help it i know I sound cheesy but I can't help it I know even true love ends someday I'm just glad that this day is not today And I swear to the moon that I love you the day is coming to an end I love you I don't want this day to end
2.	Typical Standards 05:08	lyrics	buy track
My friends keep saying I should grow up I don’t know man I can’t deal with that It’s never enough This feeling of bad luck It’s never enough I’m happily sad It ain’t easy and you know it ain’t that hard It is just a need and I don’t need that It’s never enough This feeling of bad luck It’s never enough Forever mad Not a poet not a prophet not a god Not a man of your typical standards It’s never enough This feeling of bad luck It’s never enough I’m happily sad
3.	Let It Kill 03:41	lyrics	buy track
I’m not playing, I’m not playin’ any roles anymore I’m not trying, I’m not trying to take control I’m damaged to the bone and it feels like home I woke up today and I woke up old Like a normal boy, don’t feel like a normal boy Let it out let it kill let it make you proud Let it out let it kill this is a melt down Let it out let it kill let it make you proud Let it out let it kill, a nervous breakdown Wasn’t made to wait, we were all made to fail Life’s a time jail, enjoy it every day I’m damaged to the bone and it feels like home Wasn’t made to wait, we were all made to fail Life’s a time jail, enjoy it every day Like a normal boy, don’t feel like a normal boy Let it out let it kill let it make you proud Let it out let it kill this is a melt down Let it out let it kill let it make you proud Let it out let it kill, a nervous breakdown Let it, let it, let it out
4.	Outsider Forever 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Stronger than ever now Ηaving more enemies than friends is who I am Just a step away from being tamed Barefoot in a field of love Chasing my dreams away I'm an outsider forever And a day It's who I am and I Can't change, don't want to change And I want nothing I want nothing From you Give me nothing Give me nothing Nothing's true
5.	Watered By Our Own Tears feat. Annajo 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Summer breeze kissing your skin Bodies melting like ice cream When you dream you’re feeling real We are flowers watered by our own tears Love is love and I’m a home Come inside I can fit you all A relief that never comes A relief, this is true love Melting away
6.	Scared Of Life, Afraid Of Death 04:04	lyrics	buy track
All this mess inside my head I don't want it to end It helps me knowing my place in the world Like the earth's tinniest bird Who just wants to sing No one's gonna sing for me Scared of life, afraid of death I'm broken but I’m real Repeat after me ‘’a loss is a loss'' Disaster followed by despair But I celebrate The death of a misogynist Sometimes my soul feels so clear Sometimes so nuclear Sometimes I fear to feel A sunset empty of skies A revolution with no prize Meet me at the finish line Repeat after me ‘’a loss is a loss''
7.	Dark Circles Under Blue Eyes 05:27	lyrics	buy track
A razor instead of a heart A loaded gun instead of a god Don’t hate me for being cracked Dark circles under blue eyes There’s still fire inside my eyes There’s still life and there’s still time Keep on pushing me to fight And live for the second time Second time Memories of a distant home Autumn leaves that survived the fall I’ve been heartbroken for so long Knowing right from wrong There’s still fire inside my eyes There’s still life and there’s still time Keep on pushing me to fight And live for the second time Second time I’ve been heartbroken for so long
8.	Today I'm Brave 04:40		buy track

about

The Vagina Lips returns with ‘’Οutsider Forever’’, his most indie album to date, an audio combo of his previous albums “Αthanasia’’ and ‘’Generation Y’’.

The album begins with the brightest track, ‘’I Don’t Want This Day to End’’, an ode to the grandeur and sincerity of love, with musical influences from Sarah Records. This is followed by ''Typical Standards'', an 80s rock song with unusual structure, as the chorus enters the middle of the song only once and the guitars, melodic as usual, do the 'dirty' job. Third in line the badass, “Let it Kill”. Dull cough, hoarseness, Talking Heads synths and influences from Viagra Boys’ style and groove. Accepting and embracing a personal reality not so pop, but grey and emotionally unstable. Last track on the first side is the homonymous "Outsider Forever". Shoegaze riffs, the tambourine sets the rhythm, over-optimism, the outsider wants nothing, expects nothing, just does his part. First song on the second side of the vinyl is ''Watered by Our Own Tears '' featuring vocals by Annajo. The second love song of the album, aesthetically derived directly from his album ''Athanasia''. This is followed by "Scared of Life, Afraid of Death'', which, like the next two closing tracks of the album ("Dark Circles Under Blue Eyes","Today I'm Brave"), moves to more post punk and dark wave sounds.

"Outsider Forever" echoes the message that even in the most difficult times, even in the darkest days, there are always things to celebrate, a place to be brave and a place to love yourself. Disaster followed by despair but I celebrate the death of a misogynist/there’s still fire inside my eyes. there’s still life and there’s still time, today I’m brave, I’m lost but thrilled/it all feels like an endless ecstasy.
