about

"With 22's numerological origin and all-permeating ethos, as revealed in classic 22-songs like 'Algorythm' and 'Kneel Estate', the year of 2020 had to be of significance. By releasing the song '2020', we are telling that it was the plan all along to keep going until the year 2020, and that the band is now dissolving. With our previous release, the double-album 'You Are Creating', we were eager to give credit to the listener as a co-creator of the musical experience. Now we are taking it one step further, by removing the hopes of any more music from 22, leaving the listener to create everything themselves. As the lyrics of our farewell-song tell, 'Sometimes things just have to die, in order to live..'"

lyrics

No one could say they were late
They mixed up numbers and faith

It was the time of flow
It was the year 2008

They put the y back in zen
At the end of twenty ten

There were no clear beginnings
Nor no ends
And notes they would bend

They fell in love with the act
Not telling secrets
The overcomplicated matters that were never meant
Meant for you
They did some things that they knew they would regret

There was never a future, past or...

Now
We’re here
And the plan’s been followed through
Some things they just have to die
In order to live through
Maybe we will come around in twenty twenty two
Time and all its ticking clocks that line things up in queues.

Everywhere someone’s always telling them were to go
By common sense: there's no place for them
You should know
By black binoculars you scour and find them so
Entertaining everyone ready? Set. Go!

They fell in love with the act
Not telling secrets
The overcomplicated matters that were never meant
Meant for you
They did some things that they never would regret

Now
We’re here
And the plan’s been followed through
Some things they just have to die
In order to live through
Maybe we will come around in twenty twenty two
Time and all its ticking clocks that line things up in queues.

Everytime I go somewhere i get right where i should be
Some would say that’s not enough but it’s good enough for me
I was on the verge of lume that was what they said to me
No one noticed anything so just let the subject

Be of no importance it can not make a difference still
Every breath of air you take, do you take it of free will?
The meaning is not to try to figure out the reason why
Thank you all for listening and until the next time:
Bye
