The city sleeps disturbed
In boots filled with lead
A dimension of beauty
Mobilised within my head
And on this endless parade
Sunset Park to Rose Hill
Gas stations as churches
Holy fuel forever spilled
You make me lose my head
And dream of what might be
You sculpt and tumble me
As the rain transcends
Tease the tension out
Flip the script around
Autodidact
Teach me one thing
There’s nothing more I can do
Than dream of what might be
Praise be to the gods of the east
That bow down in front of me
And on this endless parade
Sunset Park to Rose Hill
Gas stations as churches
Holy fuel forever spilled

Last Rites
03:26
|
|||
|
When you’re feeling restless and broken-hearted
And you can’t spare the time for me
When the lights go down in a broken downtown
And your head plays dead symphonies
You say your bicycle tyres are flat and your heart’s in a mess
That’s forty miles of bad road for me
Will you come spend Christmas in Copenhagen?
Comets fly, come escape with me
You say your bicycle tyres are flat and your heart’s in a mess
And you walk through the streets in a dream
Watch the sunlight dance off a broken zoom lens
And you talk in your sleep to me
So you feel so sickly and broken-hearted
And you don’t ever mind for me
If we don’t spend Christmas in Copenhagen
Would you at least say last rites for me?

For A Day Like Tomorrow
05:29
|
|||
|
Time will heal
All exit wounds
The time for peace is now
As days have been passed
This dreamlike
Reversal of roles
Return to what you were
When you were just begun
Death energy
Remedies for troubled minds
Amidst the trauma of dreams
I can barely wake up today
So save me now
And gimme something to believe
What I wouldn’t give
For a day like tomorrow

Setting Sun

You setting sun
We were terrorised
As we reached the hull
And the ship capsized
And we cast our stones
On silent seas
In memories
Pure solid gold
You’re not alone
Hearing unseen sounds
From the depths below
And you’ve settled well
Into darker glows
Far away
You setting sun
You’re a setting sun
Casting dark
On everyone
But you’ve a heart of gold
And I’m a castaway soul
And we’re sailing home

The radio still burns
You’re messed-up, high and in love with everything
And that’s what I bring
And now you’re making it worse
In a mixed-up world I can hear the chimes in spring
That’s when all the rain begins
We parked up by the pier
Count one-two-three climbing a ladder to the sky
The police on the beach analyse
You say the world just doesn’t exist
But tomorrow’s memories out in the meadow run free
As far as the eye can see
The radio still plays
The mix is high but you know the blood has run cold
And that’s when all your life can unfold
And from the mangled metal frays
Blazing thoughtforms drift off in the morning blue
I wasn’t born to lose you

Energy heartbreak please
Plant the seeds that I see in your eyes
Energy heartbreak dies
There’s still hope over the other side
Energy heartbreak cries
Like the tears that I see In your eyes
Energy heartbreak please
There’s still darkness on the other side
Too far gone
And it’s sprawling out
And as Rome burns
Hey let’s all sit this one out
And scatter out
Energy heartbreak please
Plant the seeds that I see in your eyes
Energy heartbreak dies
There’s still hope over the other side
Energy heartbreak cries
Like the tears that I see In your eyes
Energy heartbreak please
There’s still darkness on the other side
It’s not over
But nothing lasts that long
And it’s melting
And just goes on and on and on
Don’t you see my love
That we almost nearly had it all?
And you wake up in the morning
And you bask beneath the rays
And you can still believe in something
That you can’t fix in a day
But I can't deny this feeling
That everything's undone
When I see the sun
When I see the sun
Energy heartbreak please
Plant the seeds that I see in your eyes
Energy heartbreak dies
There’s still hope over the other side
Energy heartbreak cries
Like the tears that I see In your eyes
Energy heartbreak please
There’s still darkness on the other side

Red Queen Arms Race
05:40

|
I’m not satisfied
With my position and my place
If you can’t decide
Then don’t waste that space
I’m going home
Just like a rolling stone
A pariah amongst my peers
Open your ears
It’s only your fear
That keeps you down here
Open your ears
We’re dissatisfied
With our position and our place
You keep beating us down
A red queen arms race
We’d all like a home
We’d all like a floor
But the rich will piss
Upon the corpse of the poor
They make us pariahs
Amongst our peers
Open your ears
Mobilise

Deep Wound
03:59
|
|||
|
You’ve burnt your fingers, burnt your bridges I see
You’ll burn another before you’re through with me
Deep wound
I don’t know what you expect me to say
My sense of empathy has long gone astray
Deep wound
Too much revealed you tumbled down from your height
An enigmatic force pushed into the light
Deep wound
This ain’t my own dissatisfaction tonight
Picking up the pieces of a long lost fight
Deep wound
This is a wound I have no intention to heal
I know that’s such a fucked-up way to feel
Deep wound

Lone Star
04:33
|
|||
|
You come alive in black & white
You never let the world go by
You were always such a lone star
Are you still high?
Growing old in sepia and gold
Shooting guns, getting warped by the rain
You were a time-bomb always ticking
And you killed your time
Uncoalesce with hollow success
You changed the world then the world changed you
I can almost see you waving
The future’s mine

I Wonder?

And as the night fall surrounds you
A dream within a dream
And if a light dies within you
It's never as it seems
Behold this rhythmic creation
It’s beautiful and true
And if the boundaries divide you
Take care of what you do

Days

Up on the high, high hills
With my floating friend
Watching all the silver
No one can ever spend
I feel the touch of her hand
And all it will erase
These footprints I followed
Though they followed my every pace
Days
Be more than all we have
No matter how much I cross
I always see the same stream
I'm standing up on these bridges
That are standing in a dream

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
