Nothingness

We will wander
Go no further
We will ponder
Until the end of time
We will flounder
Be torn asunder
We’ll go under
Til there’s no more light
Nothingness
Douse me with your - nothingness
Caress me with your - nothingness
Impress me with your - nothingness
Nothing less
Through there
We’re going somewhere
We’ll gather intel
Until there’s no more light
We will flounder
Be torn asunder
We’ll be together
Until the end of time
Nothingness
Amuse me with your - nothingness
Inject me with your - nothingness
Drown me in your - nothingness
Nothing less

Alone

You've fallen in a trap of your own making
Disaster looms ahead, you see heads shaking
The only sound you hear is you
Alone, alone, alone, alone
You cannot fight
You cannot hide
Alone, alone, alone
A consigliere approches bearing apron
Upon which is inscribed an ultimatum
“There’s only one way out, this is no fable"”
The only sound you hear is you
Alone, alone, alone, alone
You cannot fight
You cannot hide
Alone, alone, alone

Love

I know how
You know when
I can see
You can tell
Mainline adrenaline
To staunch the flow
Embedded within us
The desire to go
Love is a funny thing
It grows
Seemingly on a whim
Hope is an ageless fling
It dies
Withering on the wind
You believe
I enact
You maintain
I redact
Wave of destruction
Against the tide
Impulse controllable
Buried inside
Love is a funny thing
It grows
Seemingly on a whim
Hope is an ageless fling
It dies
Withering on the wind

Interesting Times

The rear guard slams the door in your face
The situation escalates
There’s not much time to think
A phone call stops you in your tracks
A half familiar voice drones on and on
On and on
Can I interest you
In this timeshare condominium?
Free of charge
You pour
Your pointless aphorisms on
The floor
There is no function without form
You soar
High above
Their scorn
Your field of vision is impaired
An embryo disintegrates
Into a trillion sparkling shards
An epidemic of despair
The muffled sound of tiny marching feet
Just down the street
Can I interest you
In this timeshare condominium?
Free of charge
You pour
Your pointless aphorisms on
The floor
There is no function without form

Castle Graveyard
04:17
|
|
||
|
In the mists of time
They were concealed
Through restless light
Slowly received
On a mound of stone
They were foretold
Recited prayers
Their minds controlled
Castle Graveyard!
Castle Graveyard!
Shall rise
In darkened times
They were enshrined
From distant skies
Shone blazing eyes
Castle Graveyard!
Castle Graveyard!
Shall rise

A hundred wrongs for every right - we’ll take the streets
The essence of the primal fight - to own the streets
For each and every one - to hold the streets
The end of every line - will be the streets
Anarchists
Clergymen
Occupation
Imminent
Gunning down a dream
Before long they will come for us - attack the streets
Our allies will subvert the cause - to take the streets
But until they force us down - we’ll hold the streets
The end of every line - will be the streets
Anarchists
Clergymen
Occupation
Imminent
Gunning down a dream

Under a large “Restricted” sign
An unhappy gathering
Of conjoined but disjointed minds
Their ecology shattering
And the clock that will not unwind
Lay accusing, summoning
The Ghost
Of Apocalypse
Under a hazy nuclear sky
Existence is faltering
It’s not a question of when or why
Time’s run out, summoning
The Ghost
Of Apocalypse

I do so believe
I'm not in vogue
Observe but never interfere
I do so insist
And I won't be told
Untied but never satisfied
Wanting to die
Is a simple endeavour
First you flail
At the root cause of it all
Then you chuck it all in
Only to wake up
In a dimly lit drunk tank
In the sickly sweet smell of survival
Mind meandering
I do so believe
Life has taken hold
Unchanged but still never quite the same
I do so insist
As I have been told
Alive but never satisfied
Wanting to die
Is a simple endeavour
First you flail
At the root cause of it all
Then you chuck it all in
Only to wake up
In a dimly lit drunk tank
In the sickly sweet smell of survival
Mind meandering

Trauma

I’m not in shock
Or in denial
There’s no confusion
Or disbelief
I don’t feel pain
Or anxiety
There is no guilt
No sense of shame
Confusion
Insomnia
Nightmare
Symposia
It’s all my fault
Responsibility
There is no question
I failed you all
I feel the weight
Of my own stupidity
There’s only guilt
And endless shame
Confusion
Insomnia
Nightmare
Symposia
Severe depression
Acute regression
In some other realm
This all makes sense
And I am sane
In another timeline
Nothing’s finite
And I am sane

The world
Is on fire
It rages
Unabated
The shell
Of an empire
Crumbles
In denial
Our shelf life
Has reached
The throwaway point
The existing order
Is irredeemably corrupt
The prevailing wisdom holds
It will ever remain such
The existing order
Is irredeemably corrupt
Its pervasive falsehood is
And will ever remain such
The sky
Is an inferno
A conflagration
Absolute
A hint
Of a suggestion
Too little
Much too late
Our shelf life
Has reached
The throwaway point
The existing order
Is irredeemably corrupt
The prevailing wisdom holds
It will ever remain such
The existing order
Is irredeemably corrupt
Its pervasive falsehood is
And will ever remain such

I grew up frightened of
The silent argument
I melted into walls
A hidden dissident
Oceans of seething rage
Washed over me
Internalised
Self actualised
I’m all alone
Oh, so alone
In silence
So pure
In silence
Endure
In silence
Unsure
In silence
Endure
I almost killed myself
Avoiding arguments
No contest, no conflict
Endless sleep
I’m all alone
Oh, so alone
In silence
So pure
In silence
Endure
In silence
Unsure
In silence
Endure

The sheer fact that we have music set to the sounds of our sun blows my mind. With all sincerity, what a time to be alive.

The latest from Friederike Bernhardt is an absorbing work of electroacoustic composition, songs rippling like the Northern Lights.

Wildest Dreams EP

Lush, tender synth-pop that could easily roll over the credits of an underrated '80s teen film.

Look At The Powerful People
by FRMTN
Pulsing, dancefloor-oriented rock from this London group pits grimy bass against big beats for an irresistible sound.

Shitao is only charging a dollar for a whole album of evocative, precise, lovingly-produced hip-hop beat-making. The tracks do tend to be a little funereal, but when they work, they work well. I'd like to hear Shitao push the tension and funk in future releases because the skills are definitely there.
