Whispers
04:56

|
Spliced up memories return as fame
I was certain you knew my name
Eyes are moving left and right
If you don't see me do this I'll be up all night
Whisper
Words to me
Whisper
Help me see
Patchwork walls surround this heart
Tempered glass reflect my art
Tools of the trade learn their movement
After their use what an improvement
Whisper
In my bed
Whisper
In my head
Whisper
Words to me
Whisper
Help me see
Fade out of the scenery
Cut to the end
Loss of a friend
Now the sewing of tapestry
Painted walls red
You've made your bed
Whispers
Scrape the back of my brain
Whispers
Pour down like rain

Headlines
02:59

Wake up your face, hear what I tell you
I can't believe what's on my shoes
This shit will not stand
This little town with big news
Did you hear what made headlines
Someone fell through the cracks
We thought we could keep you away
From the world's attacks
Print the paper, read the facts
They paid to clean it up
They ruled it accidental
But we all know what's up
Did you see what made headlines
Sliding right through the cracks
We should have known not to keep you
We pushed you straight into these attacks
When things go south
Take us with you
We don't take much
To be entertained
Did you hear who slipped between the lines
Someone fell through the cracks
We thought we could keep you
Away from the world's attacks
World attack me

Motivation Cost
04:37
|
|||
|
Remembering things you said to me
I turned my head away
Not all was lost, but with the cost
Of taking away our day
This all costs more
Than I can give
Motivate me
So I can live
The sight was more than I could stand
Yet I needed a closer look
To know why someone would try
To rewrite a finished book
This all costs more
Than I can give
Motivate me
So I can live
I've heard of this before
In stories or on TV
I never ever thought
It would happen to me
How can I teach you
When I'm still such a fool
Let's pretend it's not existential
To feel so mental
This all costs more
Than I can give
Motivate me
So I can live

Red Swan
03:16
|
|||
|
Wishing and wanting
Amongst dreams of the day
Inviting in what could have been
And what could not won't go away
My red swan
Dance for me
My red swan
Dance for me
Ruffling sheets in the dark
Make warmth of uncertainty
I call out to you through my dreams
I can't remember this hunger inside of me
My baby, turn around
My red swan
Dancing for me
This haunting hold
Inspiring me
No medicine cooling these fever dreams
Feeling pulled apart at the seams
I'm sorry I never went to bed
With any of the voices in your head
My baby, turn again
My red swan
Turn me around
My red swan
Bring me to the ground
Cement these memories
They can take care of me
Cement these memories
They will take care of me

Beasties

Knock down the door
You won't see her any more
What we've done, we did for fun
It can take control of anyone
Running down the moonlit path
We hardly have time to laugh
Out of breath, you cut and run
We still don't know what we've done
Catch me catch me
Find me now
Beasty beasty
Show me how
You're getting down on your haunches
And clawing in the ground
Your body's primed and set for launches
Catching them without a sound
Your mouth is dripping with the feeling
Of a life that's almost gone
Your head is swimming to the ceiling
Of a brain that knows it's wrong
Catch me catch me
Find me now
Beasty beasty
Show me how
Who's gonna save you
When no one saved me
We got each other into this
Maybe we can claim insanity
Catch me catch me
Find me now
Beasty beasty
Show me how

Let Me Out
02:53
|
|||
|
I hear there's life
In Tokyo and Mars
But what about life
Outside Earth hours?
It's a pleasure to meet
The real you
But I don't know
What to do
With this heart
That casts me aside
Let me out
To feel within
Let it escape
So we can begin
Where does everybody go
When we turn out the lights
Do we slip away to Saturn
To see the shimmering night?
Let me out
To feel within
Let it escape
So we can begin once more
Shoot through the stars
Riding on the rings
Blinded by the lights
Of all the pretty things
Neon monsters
And super freaks
Where would we be
Without these freaky peaks
Let me out
To feel within
Let it escape
So we can begin

[Instrumental]
{Unused Lyrics}
In the midst of fall
On a windy day
A distance of trees
Separate you and me
I send the thoughts
To move my legs
Release my brain
Turned scrambled eggs
You look past the leaves
Without a glance
I guess this is
Our very last dance
Pass me before
You truly go
The fading rays
Enjoy the show
Now you know
My autumn has come
We turn into
A never ending numb

Wilderness
04:13
|
|||
|
We will show you the truth
From within
There is no way
To hide the proof
In the wilderness
Where I want to be
I'll be good to you
You take care of me
Wrap yourself around me
Take me home
From where I've fled
So I'm not alone
In the wilderness
Where I want to be
I'll be good to you
You take care of me
For what I hide
I should not have lied
These woods have space
For things to face
To get beyond
These crimes I've done
There'll be no more harm
To anyone
In the wilderness
Where I want to be
I'll be good to you
You take care of me

Superlove
04:01
|
|||
|
Distant sky
Towering trees
Rising moon
Empower me
Laughing now
Hurtful then
Maybe we'll
Try again
Framed life
Hanging there
Super love
Doubting fear
Angel white
Climbing down
Torn-up wings
On the ground
Travel 'cross
Endless roads
Follow me
Abyss below
My memories
Internal fame
Certainty lies
Without a name

Great synth classic. Sublime faux-soundtrack that makes you want to dance in day-glo while simultaneously feeling paranoid of androids

Put me in a very relaxing mood. Great blend of electronic sounds.

Between the Water and the Wonder Wheel
by The Hollows
No fake, this is a helluva rip-roaring roots rock/indie folk rock album. Bunch of talented mofos, that's for true.

If you've been craving something dark and gritty yet stylish and dancefloor-ready, this hard-edged industrial synth opus might fit the bill.

Ça ne veut rien dire
by Tout Debord
Irresistibly icy coldwave with lock-limbed rhythms, intoxicatingly morose vocals and chilly synths—perfect winter listening.

The enigmatic Frank Ene's solo record lives in a magical world where Serge Gainsbourg fronts Yellow Magic Orchestra.
