DALI - TEARGAS (Official Music Video)

After decades of struggle, what difference have we made ? A tragic cry for action in these troubled times. With TEARGAS, DALI returns to their more aggressive and visceral roots, with a cathartic journey inside the mind of a burned-out activist.

We are now DALI.

CONCEPT

This new concept is an immersive musical work that continues the band's ecological commitment while exploring a new horizon: human psychology. Each song embodying a unique psychological profile, offering listeners an opportunity to dive deep into reflections on their own identity and their interactions with the world and the environment. Each archetype, in its own way, can present elements of extremism, reason, relevance, inconsistency, and more... highlighting the idea that each of us is a complex patchwork of different personalities and psychological traits, shaping our perception of the current environmental context and its future. By recognizing themselves in these musical portraits, listeners are invited to reflect on the richness and flaws of their own inner facets and how they intertwine with ecological and societal challenges.

This concept emerges as a fundamental tool for addressing contemporary challenges. By understanding others' perspectives and emotions, we open ourselves to fairer and more inclusive solutions—both in human relationships and in our connection with the planet.


LYRICS

We’ve talked, heard promises, been stabbed in the back
Hostages,
Spineless frauds, we’re scared to react
Savages,
Revolt, prepare for impact
Ravages,
Barricade, cocktail
Breathe in the teargas

Build up the barricade
Push back
Push back
And breathe in the teargas

I won’t lie, I walked in your shoes
Denied, I wined, I tried to hide from the truth
And every try every go, crushed by my anxiety
The change comes from below
Join the community

Alone you’re dead, come join the battalion
Alone you’re F_ dead
So join the pack
And just breathe in the teargas

We should blame Coke, as much as the people littering plastic
Is it BP’s fault we ain’t all captain fantastic ?
Customer is king, but consumer’s their scapegoat
They’ve manufactured doubt, they’ve been breeding the skeptics

Who could have known
There’s no need to be psychic
It’s time to overthrow the lobbies and politics
Who could have known, never heard about science? Just keep control, just postpone

Don’t think your bed won’t dance when you start to burn

You’ll turn to dust, hear the rebellion
No compromise, no F_ trust
You can’t win, we are the people

Not sure we’ll make any difference
We ain’t about to bow down
But if we’re all going down we ain’t going no
No we ain’t going in silence
Not sure we’ll make any difference
We ain’t about to bow down
But if we’re all going down, we are not going
No we ain’t going in silence

Make their heads fall
Sharpen the guillotine

Feels like we’ve already failed but together we can manage
We won’t live a fairy tale, all together face the challenge
Feels like we’ve already failed but together
Communist
We won’t live a fairy tale but together
Terrorist

We’ve known for ages ,and they’re still raving
I gave them my rage, my youth my patience
And for what ? For nothing, we’ve struggled for decades
And what difference did we make ?
None

Break your legs, lock you up if you aint green
Crash their jets, burn their yachts, chop down their family tree,
Grab a torch, a pitchfork, eat the rich
Your dollars, your bunkers won’t keep you safe from me

Just breathe in the teargas

Not sure we’ll make any difference
We ain’t about to bow down
But if we’re all going down we ain’t going no,
No we ain’t going in silence
Let’s make a difference
We ain’t about to bow down
But if we‘re all going down, you are not rising
We’ll F_ bring you down
