a wise man once said « the early bird catches the worm »
but i was born with shattered wings
that wise man just said « find a hole that’s soft and warm
and bury yourself along your belongings
and bury yourself along your belongings »
but i never owned anything
i’m not home inside of my own skin
a stranger’s shadow has wrapped itself around me
but i never owned anything
i’m not even home inside of my own skin
i’m that stranger’s shadow that cannot be outrun
and when i’m hurt it could hurt anyone
an old legend says « all traditions getting lost
we gotta find another anchor point »
i can’t but abide by the rules – however much it cost,
but assume that I could - then what’s the point?
and my hands are too shy, and my eyes are too clean
to mull over whatever could have been
a stranger’s shadow hides the world away from me
and my feet are so high, and my head is so wide
that a thousand imps remain concealed inside
i’m that stranger’s shadow that cannot be outrun
and when i’m hurt it could hurt anyone
and when i’m hurt it could hurt anyone
but i never owned anything
i’m not even home inside of my own skin
i’m that stranger’s shadow that cannot be outrun
and when i’m hurt it could hurt anyone
and when i’m hurt it could hurt anyone
and when i’m hurt it could hurt anyone
a wise man once said « the early bird catches the worm »
but i was born with shattered wings

they tried to rip away my skirt
told me i didn’t have the right
once showed up with jeans and t-shirt
and they mocked me throughout the night
my whole body shaven
i was told i was fake
once showed up with my hairs on
that was such a mistake
« why do you always wear this wig? »
well i’ll explain why i do
that’s ‘cause your forehead is big
and i don’t want to look like you
« why always wear these beanies? »
well i’ll explain why i do
some others wear bikinis
and i don’t want to be like you
don’t even force me to like you
don’t even force me to like you
you can tease, you can boo
you wish i was that insecure
but i’m twice taller than you
and i have nothing left to cure
i’ll return blow for blow
you wish i was that insecure
but i’m that twice taller hoe
and i will throw you through the door
« why do you always wear this wig? »
well i’ll explain why i do
that’s ‘cause your forehead is big
and i don’t want to look like you
« why always wear these beanies? »
well i’ll explain why i do
some others wear bikinis
and i don’t want to be like you
singing my song
‘cause whatever i’ll do
i’ll be wrong
fuck you
i am strong
so much stronger than you
you are wrong
so fuck you
« why do you always wear this wig? »
well i’ll explain why i do
that’s ‘cause your forehead is big
and i don’t want to look like you
why always wear these beanies?
well i’ll explain why i do
some other show their penis
and i don’t want to be like you
don't even force me to like you
don't even force me to like you
« why do you always wear this wig? »
well i’ll explain why i do
that’s ‘cause your forehead is big
and i don’t want to look like you

enter the wild

say goodbye
to your inner child
the devil has chosen you
to enter the wild
say farewell
to your fathers in hell
the devil has chosen you
to confront the wild
pack
and get on the track
no such thing as turning back
when you enter the wild

shades of suicide

shades of suicide
on every wall
manifold dreams denied
follow you through the hall
hold on
hold out
stand your ground
come on
come out
and make a sound
shades of suicide
in every room
don’t let them trap you inside
and give you their sense of doom
hold on
hold out
stand your ground
come on
come out
and make a sound
you’re strong
they won’t get you
they’re wrong
don’t be wrong too
you’re strong
they won’t get you
they’re wrong
don’t be wrong too
shades of suicide
on every wall
manifold dreams denied
follow you through the hall
hold on
hold out
stand your ground
come on
come out
and make a sound
shades of suicide
in every room
don’t let them trap you inside
and give you their sense of doom
hold on
hold out
stand your ground
come on
come out
and make a sound
you’re strong
they won’t get you
they’re wrong
don’t be wrong too
you’re strong
they won’t get you
they’re wrong
don’t be wrong too

thunder strikes again
with the summer and the rain
i feel no pain
no true reason to complain
yet fates beyond traits
live for all but strength and treats
i can’t explain
why i feel so fucking weak
week after week
i still feel so fucking weak
day after day
all my dreams have flown away
thunder strikes again
but the memories remain
a little sick
of feeling so fucking weak
week after week
i still feel so fucking weak
day after day
all my dreams have flown away
year after year
still seems i don’t belong here
week after week
i still look so fucking bleak
thunder strikes again
but the memories remain
a little sick
of feeling so fucking weak
day after day
all my dreams have flown away
week after week
i still feel so fucking weak
year after year
still seems i don’t belong here
week after week
i still look so fucking bleak

warmest wave
03:43

i’ve kept that phrase
unclean from dust
our best days
are behind us
all words unsaid
suffocated
our common world
confiscated
if you fall
please don’t let go
you’ve been my warmest wave
for all i know
how solitary
will you live in shame
which harsh memory
got stuck to my name
i’m carving in stone
every trace of you
as i leave alone
still thinking of you
if you fall
please don’t let go
you’ve been my warmest wave
for all i know
if you fall
please don’t let go
you’ve been my warmest wave
for all i know

fade away

i won’t go out tonight
‘cause i’m tired of being spat at
i won’t go out tonight
their words like flaming arrows
and their nails like flickering claws
their eyes like lurking shadows
i won’t go out tonight
my gaze filled with a bittersweet sight
and too bad if i prove them right
their hate flows in my veins
and my heart pumps always in vain
their hate will stay the same
and i don’t have the right
to hide out from your light
fade away
fade away
and i don’t crave the plights
of a part in your fights
fade away
fade away
i won’t go out tonight
‘cause i’m tired of being spat at
and too bad if i prove them right
their words like flaming arrows
and their nails like flickering claws
their eyes like lurking shadows
and i don’t have the right
to hide out from your light
fade away
fade away
and i don’t crave the plights
of a part in your fights
fade away
fade away

The Frosted Original

Twinkling, glitched-out ambience punctuated by bubbling beats: think Stereolab's foundation if they were less European and more Californian.

The striking synth/goth songs on the latest from Vlimmer feel 50 stories tall, with gigantic walls of sound and bleak, ominous vocals.
