FAREWELL TO ANDREJ

It is with immense sorrow and heavy hearts that we bid farewell to Andrej.

From the very beginning, Andrej was the heart and soul of our music, crafting nearly every instrumental track across our five studio albums. His creativity knew no bounds; he was a relentless fountain of ideas, always surprising us with fresh riffs and melodies. We will forever cherish the moments when he shared his latest creations, transforming them in rehearsal into the songs that defined us. Those countless hours spent together—playing, listening, debating, and immersing ourselves in music—are now priceless memories. Andrej lived and breathed music, and his passion inspired everyone around him.

Beyond his unmatched musical talent, Andrej was the architect of our lyrics and the guiding force behind INMATE’s ideology. Losing him is not just losing a bandmate but the very foundation of what made this journey so special.

Even after he moved with his family to Austria, his devotion to the band never wavered. Despite the distance, he showed up with joy and enthusiasm, whether for rehearsals, concerts, or tours. We deeply admired how he balanced his love for his family with his commitment to the band, and we cherished every opportunity to perform alongside him. His presence on this year’s European tour, particularly in Austria and Hungary, felt like a gift we now hold even closer to our hearts.

The memory of our final performance together on November 3rd in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, is etched in us forever. Dropping him off at his home the next day, none of us imagined it would be our last goodbye.

Andrej was more than a bandmate; he was a steadying presence, a problem-solver, and above all, a true friend. His loyalty, discipline, unwavering principles, and calmness in resolving conflicts were qualities we admired deeply and will miss dearly. His confident presence on stage will never fade from our minds.

This is an unimaginable loss, one we will carry with us always. Andrej’s legacy is vast, and we are profoundly grateful for every moment we shared—in the rehearsal room, on stage, in the studio, and in our lives.

Though the road ahead will be difficult and forever changed, we know Andrej would want us to continue. His spirit will remain a part of INMATE, guiding us as we honor him through our music.

With broken hearts,

Marko, Jure V., David, Jure G.

WE ARE ETERNAL! WE ARE JUST TRAVELLING THROUGH THIS TIME AND SPACE.

LYRICS

We could have peace, if we could see beyond our greed
We could have peace, if we could see beyond our needs

We could have been aware of God, if we could clean our hearts
Can we put our egos at bay?
Can we put our egos at bay?
The pure knowledge is given from above for all of us
Without God all is in vain
Without God all is in vain
So, how many chances have we been given?
Have we lost our faith in God?
What will awake us all?

Do you ever wonder what’s coming?
I always wonder if we could have it all

Do you lie awake at night and wonder who we are?
Now we dwell and linger here in doubts and despair
Instead of Truth we listened to lies
Instead of Truth we listened to lies
After so many lives we know almost nothing
Have we lost our faith in trust?
Is there a hope for us?

How many chances have we been given?
I always wonder if we could have it all
Do you ever wonder what’s coming?
I still believe, that we can have it all
Do you wonder what is coming?
I wanna understand it all
How many chances we’ve been given?
Are we aware, we’ve had it all?

We had it all, we didn’t care
You know it for sure?
We had it all, we didn’t see it
How many times have you been lost?
We had it all, we didn’t care
How many lies have you been told?
We had it all, we didn’t see it

We could have lived together in peace, had we kept our egos at bay
…had we kept our envy away

We could have been aware of God, if we could clean our hearts
Can we put our egos at bay?
Without God all is in vain

LYRICS
So, this is what I’ve been waiting for
It may not be, yet I’m closer now
Everyone is searching for a joy
You’re like a spark in the darkest night
I’m always blessed to receive Your grace
Still, I’m ”poor”
I’ve come to You

I gave my heart to You
I’m not about to be broken
I have no time to die

So, this is what I have wanted
You’re bringing out the very best of me
With open heart closer to You
I’m rather with You on the longest night

So close to You
Now I believe in You
So close to You
You know who I am
I’ve come back to see You
Another day passes by

I’m not about to be broken
I’m coming back for Your shelter
There’s no time to die

I can’t live my life without You by my side

LYRICS
The more I’m like myself
the less I am like anyone else.
That makes me so unique.

Sometimes less is more.
The less I reveal, the more I see
… the better it’s for me.

Nothing in life is to be feared.
It is the time to understand less is more.
Wanting less is better than having…
Less is more.
That’s all I need.

Dreaming more, doubting less.
Giving more, taking less.

It is less about what they want from me.
It is more about what I think of me.

I practise letting go to find my own peace.
The less I speak, the better it’s for me.

Taking Your shelter now is what I ask of You.
You think it’s possible to get free from sorrow?

… to get free from sorrow?
… free from sorrow?
…sorrow…sorrow…
… to get free from sorrow?

Believing more, talking less.
Loving more, arguing less.

I’m on my knees in tears again.
I’m on my knees in tears again

LYRICS
It means ‘’to live is to suffer’’
If I don’t get what I want… just go away
I’ll hit the bottom again now
What would be better
To ease the pain

Why, why, why should we suffer the pain
We aren’t here only to play their game

I cannot run away
I just stay true to myself
I shall not look away
The more options I have… I let it go

Moving on now…

I see life taken for granted
Every man is controlled by fate
But I will not be defeated
Why did I come to this place again

You cannot run away
You just stay true to yourself
You shall not look away
The more options you have… just let it go

Should we suffer the pain
Now knowing to play their game
And should we suffer the pain

It hurts when somebody lets you down and down again
Move on
Don’t you look back
Now keep moving on

I cannot run away
Staying true to self
I shall not look away
Away…
I cannot run away
Staying true to self
The more options that I have the more I just let it…
Moving on…
