Humanize 05:14
Dear sir or madam, why do you hate me? Surely, pigmentation shouldn’t alienate me? We share the same blood. What’s wrong with me? Repetitive story. It’s never ending Do you get it yet? Old generations instill a mindset from hate fueled history books That blur the past and bleed the future Our words will light the fire that will burn those pages Our words will relight the fire of the rainbow nation I’ll shout to the heavens Can you hear my voice as it echoes in the sky? My throat burns I choke on the blood The past no longer predicts our future A loving tomorrow is what we nurture What is racism anyway? Are the words I wish to hear my kin say We will shout to the heavens Can you hear our voices as they echo in the sky? Our throats burns We choke on the blood We will be heard! We will be heard! We will shout to the heavens Can you hear our voices as they echo in the sky? Our throats burns We choke on the blood

Day Zero 04:06
Fee-fi-fo-fum You've poisoned the blood of every South African Blinded by walls too high And pockets too deep Beings so void of apathy Dry your tears they Prey on sympathy Their catharsis is so hypnotic Day zero brings purgatory Chorus: Suffocate on your own sin Breathe it all in These are the fumes of greed and decay Disgusting beings How can you see with your eyes wide shut? Remove your silk blindfold Take a gander at your happy ever disaster Hear the chorus of neglect praise your name Chorus "Behold chaos, good to eat, sufficient for our hunger!" Chorus Change or we'll be reduced to Zero

The Maze 03:29
These hands are shaky Self-doubt swells like a tidal wave I seek direction, every path seems vague A maze has formed/ inside the walls Chorus: Stuck in this place Stuck in the haze “Pull yourself together” Get through the maze Once again, this space is claustrophobic And these walls are caving in There's a way out, I know it, I know it I'll find the door at the end Which pathway leads to the exit? Which way will bring me clarity? Which pathway leads to the exit? Which way will bring me clarity? Chorus Maybe now, my hands will stop trembling This maze of mine Is but a maze of mind Chorus

Pariah Dogs 05:04
We are forsaken We have no home We are the defiant We have no master Pre Chorus: Pariah Dogs Nose to the sun Pariah Dogs Hear our song Pariah Dogs A curse to some Pariah Dogs Slaves to none Chorus: Destined to become Road kill in the sun The perversions you shun Our will remains undone Picking through the scraps Howling through the drones Destitute, powerless But we refuse submission Pre-Chorus Chorus We are the unappealing aesthetic We are the unbreakable Not easily domesticated We are the unappealing aesthetic The pet is caged The pest is free Chorus The pet is caged The pest is free Stand tall, Pariah Dogs

Dying City 04:14
I call upon my soldiers The ones with heavy shoulders The ones that stood with me I present your soliloquy Our hope is like brittle bone But a will of solid stone Now's the time to witness The iron frame being born Every strike shapes us Never broken never worn Dying City I call home Dying, Dying City of hope Struggle, struggle breeds strength Strength shaped by our hands Struggle after struggle The will in us keeps burning I call upon my soldiers The ones with heavy shoulders The ones that stood with me 041 come sing with me Our hope is like brittle bone But a will of solid stone
8.
The Hopeless 03:30
The hardest part of existence Is finding the will to carry on This heart is beating with persistence My breathe met with resistance I wanna feel something, other than nothing Chorus: HOPE A longing for belonging LESS Existence equals suffering Heavy weighs the heart For he who has chosen to fall apart While seemingly able to smile in the dark Held captive by your darkest thought Heavy weighs the heart I wanna feel something other than nothing My mind’s a prison And hopelessness resides in me Oh who am I kidding? I fear my own mortality Chorus

The Hopeful 07:27
I'll prove myself today I can start again I'll earn what’s mine this way It's all in my hands I'll take this day by day I won't be force fed misery I'll give myself every chance It's all in my hands Chorus: Shed this skin Drain away my negativity Between these walls Give this hope longevity Now that I'm on my feet The way forward doesn't seem so bleak From this maze I must retreat Find stability in something concrete I'll take this day by day I won't be force fed misery I'll give myself every chance It's all in my hands Chorus I’ll direct my thoughts To a new beginning It’s all in my hands Every step forward is filled with anxiety Can’t look back, there’s hope in front of me I'll prove myself today I can start again I'll earn what’s mine this way It's all in my hands I'll take this day by day I won't be force fed misery I'll give myself every chance It's all in my hands…

about

Boiling Point is a 4 piece hardcore band from Gqeberha, South Africa. Boiling Point combines the catharsis of heavy music with a positive spirit and high energy performances. The bands lyrical themes focus on anti-war, the abuse of technology in modern society, mental health and community struggles. The band was formed in December of 2020 as a way of coping with the covid 19 lockdown, driven with the ambition to become a musical force on and off of the stage.

"Humanize is a journey into the human experience. Our goal with this album was to reflect the space around us and to put into music and words the complex emotions experienced when surrounded by uncertainty. Singer Dominic Louw opens up about racism, loss, personal & community struggles and how we can ultimately find our way back to hope. Finding our peace as human beings by taking responsibility for ourselves and those around us. Humanize is musically unrelenting while still offering moments of calm and introspection. We approached the recording of this album in a very raw and honest way with every member wearing their hearts on their sleeve when delivery their performances. We are incredibly honoured and excited to share this piece of ourselves with all of you."
