Waiting For a Sign

I didn’t send you a flower, you hadn’t seen my face
Crest the darkest hour, inside the darkest place
I saw your silhouette, I’m sure it wasn’t a dream
A holy vision and unrivaled ecstasy
Stood inside the hallway, couldn’t tell the time
Sitting, hoping, watching, waiting for a sign
It’s haunted me (waiting for a sign)
Keeps taunting me (waiting for a sign)
Can’t run, can’t hide (waiting for a sign)
I’m waiting for a sign
Footprints in the snow, walk home to demise
Draining all my blood, I see those pale blue eyes
Cryptic messages, a love language you speak
Stewing on it, stewing never here to stay
Double take and disappear until stars align
Sitting, hoping, watching, waiting for a sign
Another day bleeds another night
Maybe I’ll see you in another life

Queen of Hearts

A subtle sense of guilt I always seem to have
Washes over me with the words you said
Can’t help but regret the things we never did
And I can’t help but miss a time I never lived
I cut the heart line in the palm of my hand
Then sat and watched it bleed
I cut the head line in the palm of my hand
And thought of what could be
Scratching at the back of my skull
Queen of hearts, far apart
Fester, ferment, words carry no intent
Can’t do a thing at all
Time is fleeting and I’ve been sleeping
I broke down, there’s only mercy in dreaming
North Park lights were glowing red
They glimmered just for you
“Black cats don’t roam this way”
But how can this be true?

In Another Place
02:37
|
|

There’s a want to be quiet, clear and clean
Dim nothingness, myself to please
Because all I’ve ever offered is what I’ve never been
And all I’ve ever wanted is what I’ve never seen
Can’t stand to disappoint, so I’ll hide my face
Out of sight, out of mind. I’m in another place
I’m in another place, in another place
Crawl inside, inside my head
Escape from what you think of me, the truth in crimson red
Because all I’ve ever offered is what I’ve never been
And all I’ve ever wanted is what I’ve never seen
Can’t stand to disappoint, so I’ll hide my face
Out of sight, out of mind. I’m in another place
I’m in another place, in another place
Afraid of falling short, so I’ll hide my face
Out of sight, out of mind. I’m in another place
I’m in another place, in another place

Moving On
02:38
|
|

Scars of the past still on my face
Nothing to hide as I try to find my place
Though I’m still frozen down to the bone
I’ll admit that I don’t wanna be alone anymore
You either shake the feeling or look it in the eyes
Face the fact it’s time to say goodbye
Don’t wanna be stuck wanting more
That’s not a life worth living for
I’m moving on
The progress of life will lead you to death
Why shouldn’t I try to make mine the best?
I’m moving on
If you were me, you’d understand because
You don’t want to be alone

Sweet With Sin
02:48
|
|

|
Like an animal in a latex suit
A stone cold heart wearing knee-high boots
I’ll paint a picture of what I want
No secrets now, tell me every thought
Caught up in your net, nothing holds us back
Under red lights I fall into your trap
I wanna ruin your life, I’m gonna take your soul
Cause I can be everything you want and more
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Lips of an angel, sweet with sin
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Voodoo smile, sweet with sin
Leading me like a moth to a flame
Carnal desires rotting my brain
Silk slipped slowly down to the floor
Lace laid lonely by the bedroom door
Screams from the heat, calling my name
Led on leash but cannot be tamed
Just a loveless act of selfish bliss
Your voodoo smile, sweet with sin

Phantom Figure
03:01
|
|

A phantom figure facing me, I’m laying by the door
Whispers drowned out by the heat, a quiet sob to sorry sleep
Watch a light flicker green, fry and fade to black
Like skipping stones and broken bones, a feeling so abstract
Look at my hand so curious, you held it like your own
A scar that fades never goes away, to think of you alone
It all seems the same to me
Somewhere between desperate and divine, divine lies your soul
I walked the same route that we walked before, spring to summer nights
Another prisoner of the sun, swept. You lost your favorite charm
You used to wear it around your neck like I would hold you on my arm
It all seems the same to me
Look at my hand so curious, you held it like your own
A scar that fades never goes away, to think of you alone
It all seems the same to me, a feeling like a nail on the floor
Push slowly through the skin, and there’s nothing left to hide anymore

Common Ground
02:47
|
|
||
|
Pleasure sent from above or pain growing deep inside
All we want is mindless love
Lust that can’t be justified
Lust that can’t be justified
There’s common ground in each other’s beds
A type of love that words can’t express
There’s common ground in each other’s beds
Heaven sent pleasure, we coalesce
Guilt stricken innocence, a drop of blood on your fingertip
And I can’t help myself
Silence is golden, silence is gray, silence is the one thing that keeps me away
But you can’t help yourself
Yesterday’s “I love you” means you’ll miss me today
And heartache is a pain you just can’t take

Lightning In A Bottle
02:47
|
|
||
|
You ash your cigarette under a summer sun
Asking me if I ever thought this day would come
Your golden flyaways trapped in between your lips
A question forms on mine and I try to forget
Could I be falling for her?
Could I be wishing on a star or is this her?
Am I dreaming now?
Lightning in a bottle, yeah I think it’s her
Kissing in the shadows of green after dark
Steaming up the windows in the back of my car
Your droning pace, like poetry
You’d read it all the time if you were me
Sweet like a clementine, sultry sigh to say goodnight
I’ll come back, back again
And this time I won’t think twice

This is one of those albums where I have a different favourite track every week, and it's been like that since the release that is now a year ago. What a massive album, starting out with fist pumping chants and gradually getting more electro but always with that punk grit attitude. Top 3 of 2023.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this since it came out. A perfect balance of chimey, shimmering guitar lines and driving rhythms all wrapped around fantastic sci-fi inspired lyrics and aesthetic. We need more post-punk coming from this headspace. Can’t recommend this band and album enough.

Le coté "brut" de la démo, le style "the cure" minimaliste avec les basses mises en avant. Du très beau !!
