If you’re too scared to start from nothing, Nothing is all that you deserve I can’t stand the new you Don’t understand the new you Tell me what you see when you look at me You realise I see through what you’re trying to say We do this all the time Attract somebody We only leave behind Beggar to king it don’t take much Look at this painted queen thank fortunes touch But for every you who made it There’s a vacant seat in hell No one to buy no one to sell If you’re too scared to start from nothing Nothing’s all that you deserve I could forgive the old you I could believe the old you Tell me what you see when you look at me You realise I see through what you’re trying to say You do this all the time Attract somebody we only leave behind Beggar to king it don’t take much Look at this painted queen thank fortunes touch But for every you who made it There’s a vacant seat in hell No one to buy no one to sell If you’re too scared to start from nothing Nothing’s all that you deserve We do this all the time Attract somebody we only leave behind Beggar to king it don’t take much Look at this painted queen thank fortunes touch But for every you who made it There’s a vacant seat in hell No one to buy, no one to sell No place to go, no one to tell If you’re too scared to start from nothing Nothing’s all that you deserve

We’re an army Weaponize my misery Though you disguise your intentions I see through the facade You’ve left no line uncrossed No moral inhibitions No lawful barriers No matter how high the human cost Rewriting history to weaponize our misery I reclaim my story My narrative I reject your narrative My side of the story There’s a billion of me We’re an army Weaponize our misery Forge persistence in the fires of unrest Am I your enemy No chance for coexistence In violence coalesced Is this all that we’ll ever be I reclaim my story My narrative I reject your narrative My side of the story There’s a billion of me We’re an army Weaponize our misery 1,3,3 March! 1,2,3 March! 1,2,3 March! - Come on 1,2,3 now hold. Hold… Hold.. Hold.. Fire! Rewriting history to weaponize our misery I reclaim my story My narrative I reject your narrative My side of the story There’s a billion of me We’re an army Weaponize our misery Weaponize our misery Weaponize our misery
3.	Tomorrow's Rain 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Your dark hair The mistakes our memories share I never had a doubt I turn around to you To face your stare Snow around us, cold and bare But there’s something in the air Between us Tomorrow’s Rain Release the pain within Tomorrow’s rain is ready to begin Tomorrow’s Rain Will guide your way again Though it breaks the heart in two I go there, I go there without you The words we share Like a spell of old But the dreams I hold Won’t pass you for another All that remains All that remains An empty solemn glance A final kiss and one last dance With Tomorrow's rain Release the pain within Tomorrow’s rain is ready to begin Tomorrow’s Rain Will guide your way again Though it breaks the heart in two I go there, I go there without you Tomorrow's rain Release the pain within Tomorrow’s rain is ready to begin - Yeah Tomorrow’s Rain Will guide your way again Though it breaks the heart in two I go there, I go there without you

The water is very still And mirrors a starless sky It’s the silence we never had Between us And though I countdown the days To look at your face again To cross this unholy space Between us Tell me, tell me you’ll come back Come back again To the love we had once I don’t know what changed tonight I’m seeing the memory of us In a different light Indifferent light I won’t be a captive to the pain That we’ve been through And your intoxicating touch Will lose its hold on my soul, finally And then you’ll Tell me, tell me you’ll come back Come back again To the love we had once Leave me, leave me to wonder When you’ll return In different light To the love we had once Tell me, tell me you’ll come back Come back again To the love we had once Leave me, leave me to wonder When you’ll return In different light To the love we had once
6.	Love 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Because if you go My heart would cease to beat I find myself, still bleeding over you For a moment longer, Still bleeding over you Instead of getting stronger Bleeding over you Love So far so good so long I never meant for This to carry on So far so good so long Oh Oh You’re bleeding Oh oh You’re carried by this love Because if you’d stay I’d look the other way On all the times I’ve bled Over you For a moment longer Bleeding over you, Insteading of getting stronger Bleeding over you Love So far so good so long I never meant for This to carry on So far so good so long Oh Oh You’re bleeding Oh oh You’re carried by this love For this love Love So far so good so long, so what? So far so good so long This won’t carry on Oh Oh You’re bleeding Oh oh You’re carried Love So far so good so long I never meant for This to carry on So far so good so long Oh Oh You’re bleeding Oh oh You’re carried by this love For this love
7.	OCEANS ON ORION ft. Aliki Katriou (Eight Lives Down) - Tame 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Another day another scar You made my dreams appear so far And good intentions set aside You restrained me You say no one can beat the odds And to obscurity you fade You’re always trying to persuade I am you Don’t tell me we’re the same Don’t tell me that you feel my pain Don’t tell me things will change Don’t tell me that it’s age That’s making me behave this way Don’t tame me Another town another night I sometimes wonder if you’re right When the vanity of the stage and light Begins to blind You say you know what it’s about And that your words are filled with doubt I barely fight the urge to shout Within me Don’t tell me we’re the same Don’t tell me that you feel my pain Don’t tell me things will change Don’t tell me that it’s age That’s making me behave this way Don’t tame me Day to day and side to side I choose to live how I decide To swim against the rising tide Or claim the life I am denied We’re not the same (Don’t tame me) I won’t be tamed Untamed I won’t be tamed
8.	Killing The Messenger 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Though you ignore the message now The time you wasted is crucial How long before the signs appear Or are you too superficial To know You only seem to learn the hard way From sticks and stones and broken bones Oh Killing the messenger Is it because you won’t admit That you’re not getting much better Is it the high you can’t resist Or are you hooked on the anger To know You always seem to learn the hard way Through sticks and stones and broken bones And you’re killing the messenger Ah Killing the messenger Cus you can’t look him in the eye Killing the messenger Ah Killing the messenger Cus you can’t look him in the eye The Messenger You always seem to learn the hard way Through sticks and stones and broken bones And when you only learn the hard way You end up killing the… Killing the messenger Ah Killing the messenger Cus you can’t look him in the eye Killing the messenger Ah Killing the messenger Cus you can’t look him in the eye No you can’t look me in the eye The messenger
9.	Confront Yourself 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I’m best as a shoulder I’m worst as a heart I’m beat when I’m sorry I’m worst when you aren’t I’m best when I watch you asleep in my bed I’m best when it’s over I can’t be with you You are so unbearable Try to ask yourself if contradiction is Why you love me Your sense of apathy Is a reality I’ll never be part of Confront yourself Would you confront yourself We’re perfect opposites attracted To cancel each other out Confront yourself Would you confront yourself I’m best as maybe I’m worst when you doubt I’m best when we’re crazy I’m worst when you’re proud I’m best when I watch you asleep in my bed I’m best when it’s over Why can’t you be without me If I am so unbearable Try to ask yourself if contradiction is Why you love me Your sense of apathy Is a reality I’ll never be part of Confront yourself Would you confront yourself We’re perfect opposites attracted To cancel each other out Confront yourself Would you confront yourself We’ll build a life worth living Come together on the broken pieces of our past We’ll build a home where nothing lasts Confront yourself Confront yourself

about

‘Start from Nothing’ is the debut album of Israeli modern rockers, Oceans on Orion. Standing at the melting point of multiple genres, audiences, and generations, Oceans on Orion unique blend of 80s golden era guitar-vocals, modern riffing, and powerful stage performance, packs a punch and a promise for old school metallers, emo kids new and old, as well as heavier music lovers.

The 9 song release was preceded by 5 singles released in 2022-2023, featuring the anthemic, “Tomorrows Rain”, and “Weaponized Misery”, a powerful duet with Ran Yerushalmi, from fellow Israeli Alt-metal band, Walkways.

Thematically, the album explores relationships - with oneself, with a partner, with authority, and with expectations. While some songs scream into the void, expressing the frustration and heightened emotions these subjects invoke, others offer encouragement, motivation, and more often than not, a challenge.

One such moment is the very opening line of the album, “If you’re too scared to start from nothing, nothing is all that you deserve”. It dares us to take the offensive, to turn the tables, to de-victimize ourselves and build “a life worth living, come together, on the broken pieces of our past.” as taken from the closing track, “Confront yourself”.

With standout tracks like "Tomorrow's Rain”, Start from Nothing," "Love," and "Weaponized Misery” the album showcases lead singer Lev Kerzhner's powerhouse vocals, and the band's songwriting versatility.

This record has been a labor of love, with years of writing, rehearsing, and refining going into every song. The band members poured their hearts and souls into every note, striving to create something that truly reflects who they are as artists and people.

A must-listen for fans of Modern Metal, Emo, Alternative, and 80s golden era metal.
