| Lyrics: |
ELLIPTICAL MIND'S EYE
I want to swing with my wings behind me
Fly like a bird of mirth
I want to bring all my things behind me
Found in a place on Earth
Elliptical mind's eye
Deny Eve deny Adam's fate
Believe my profound lies
One I need one I hear all day
You and me, we are extraordinary icons
I know its true, we are extraordinary icons
You feel its true, we are extraordinary icons
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
I want to swing with my wings behind me
Fly like a bird of mirth
I want to bring all my things behind me
Found in a place on Earth
Elliptical mind's eye
Deny Eve deny Adam's fate
Believe my profound lies
One I need one I hear all day
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail
Who you idolize is just who you nail

*Manic and intense. the insight you gain when there is nowhere to go but up...*
a freak, a god, a muse, insane |

| Lyrics: |
LOW
Low
Low is good
Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know things
Low
Low is good
Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know me
Now its time to part with all my seals, they break they peel
Degeneration can't be far behind
But its not so bad because I see, I have been free
I have that blessed sight that eats away
I feel it now inside its pretty clear, that I am dear
To things in which you won't confide
The chill that cracks my bones to bring me near, to heat that sears
To raucous silent screams to wondrous sighs
It makes me real, no no
Can't break it don't fight it, just hang on
It makes me real, no no
Can't break it don't fight it, just bang on
It makes me real, no no
Without it I am nothing
It makes me real, no no
Without it I am nothing
So when I consistently feel fear, to rage to tears
I will remember why I'm still alive
I'm the things I feel and think and see
Forced to be- I am a freak a god a muse insane
Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane
Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane
Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane
Freak, a God, a Muse, Insane
Low
Low is good
Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know things
Low
Low is good
Kind of makes you high, kind of makes you know me
It makes me real, no no
Can't break it don't fight it, just hang on
It makes me real, no no
Can't break it don't fight it, just bang on
It makes me real, no no
Without it I am nothing
It makes me real, no no
Without it I am nothing

*Man-made love. Ethereal musing, lost hope and the mind numbing acceptance* |

| Lyrics: |
WASTELAND
Walking lying sitting running wandering movement
Talking sighing singing humming crying amusement
Walking 'round the dark is he looking for some fulfilling memory
Talking safe she thinks is she hoping for some great jump in mercury
On this place, the sparkle shined
Follow this place, its broken line
Walking sighing sitting humming wandering amusement
Stalking getting secretly/frying dinner up, got to eat its hot
On this place the sparkle shined
Follow this place, its broken line
Why a lot, try a lot
He found love
Cry a lot , buy a lot
She finds love
High above, high above
They found love
High enough, high enough
Man-made love
Timing thinking failing crumbling joyful errosion
Training convincing hypnotised rebel gofer illusion crucified
On this place the sparkle shined
Follow this place, its broken line
Why a lot, try a lot
He found love
Cry a lot , buy a lot
She finds love
High above, high above
They found love
High enough, high enough
Man-made love

*An abuse of Power by those who are meant to protect us.* |

| Lyrics: |
BULLET
Your mighty fist, your Holy right
Supreme husband, mold your wife
You rearrange, you estrange,
You derange
Your puny children, a decrepit lot
You sure deserved more
than what you got
Just say you love me,
Just say you care
Just say you love me, just say it loud
Say it now, now
Your love's a bullet
Right through my head
You rearrange, you estrange,
You derange
Could we exist without you
You little bitches,
You would be through
Fire fire who's the big strong man
Yea you got your fucking gun
Fire fire who's the big loud man
Yea you got your fucking gun
Fire fire you bitter ruthless man
Yea you got your fucking gun
Fire fire who's the big proud man
Yea you got your fucking gun
You rearrange, you estrange,
You derange
Momma's gone and left you
What you going to do
What the boys going to think
Going to think of you
Just say you love me, make it loud
Its that bullet that shows you care
Fire fire who's the big strong man
Yea you got your fucking gun
Fire fire who's the big loud man
Yea you got your fucking gun
Fire fire you tiny useless man
Yea I got your fucking gun
Fire fire you tiny useless man
Yea I got your fucking gun

I'm so glad Brandon mentioned the guitarist. Right, that's me. I played guitar on all the tracks except "SAND". Playing with Rick, Christian,Brandon and Raul was great. Truly the best of what the NY music scene had to offer.

Just found this site and I must add to it. I auditioned for Rick and Xn in the early 90s. I saw their ad in the Village Voice and responded not knowing what I was getting into.... I have to say that in all my years of playing drums, playing with Acts was the best experience that any musician could ask for. It's still my favorite band. I learned so much...I moved to Boston in '97 and left Acts, ...Life did take over. By the way I had the opportunity to see a gig with Brandon and David McConnell playing (who are brilliant musicians). Rick and CH, I have only wished the greatest things for you both. I do miss you both!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE PATSA |

Just thought I'd clear up some confusion. The drummer on Trivial, Elliptical, Bridge, Wasteland, and Bullet are not Raul Vasquez. I'm the drummer on those. I've been out of the band for a loooong time, but (trying not to sound petty) I would like credit for my work. And, the guitarist on those same tracks is David McConnell, who I think is a brilliant musician. This music was a lot of fun to play. ... Thanks, Brandon |

I met the singer through myspace thinking she was beautiful. I have known her for atleast 2 years. Finaly today I listened to ACTS Magdalena. I never did before in hopes of keeping Xn unique for her and not her music. Her music is amazing her voices brings shivers through my back. Im in love with the music and cant stop listening to it. Thanks, Brandon |
