lyrics
Take a wander around
What will you find?
Find yourself in a city
In a shifting of space and time
You don’t know where to go
On a mission that you only know
Take a wander around, what will you find?
It’s all there underneath the grind
Where do you want to be?
A voice says “come with me”
Follow it around
It feels like a dream
The tension’s alive
When you’re standing in two streams
But when it’s time to go, you’ve got to
Sometimes you feel the clock tick close by
When you’re inside dancing like a stranger
Two times so different from one another
You’ll only get out by the skin of your teeth
You’re now days in this place
Signal from home is a static noise
The notes of your report
Are of a completely different line
You wandered miles around and what did you find?
It’s all there underneath the grind
Is this where you want to be?
You’re in for the kiss
It feels like a dream
But no-one knows that
You’re standing in two streams
But when it’s time to go, you’ve got to
Sometimes you feel the wormhole on standby
But you’re inside dancing like a stranger
Sometimes new emotions run high
You’ll only get out by the skin of your teeth
What will you find?
Find yourself in a city
In a shifting of space and time
You don’t know where to go
On a mission that you only know
Take a wander around, what will you find?
It’s all there underneath the grind
Where do you want to be?
A voice says “come with me”
Follow it around
It feels like a dream
The tension’s alive
When you’re standing in two streams
But when it’s time to go, you’ve got to
Sometimes you feel the clock tick close by
When you’re inside dancing like a stranger
Two times so different from one another
You’ll only get out by the skin of your teeth
You’re now days in this place
Signal from home is a static noise
The notes of your report
Are of a completely different line
You wandered miles around and what did you find?
It’s all there underneath the grind
Is this where you want to be?
You’re in for the kiss
It feels like a dream
But no-one knows that
You’re standing in two streams
But when it’s time to go, you’ve got to
Sometimes you feel the wormhole on standby
But you’re inside dancing like a stranger
Sometimes new emotions run high
You’ll only get out by the skin of your teeth

Soft Riot recommends:
-
An unique approach crossing italo disco, epic synth and mythical themes.
go to album -
The third album from my old post-punk "revival" band that was active from 1998-2005, before social media was even a thing.
go to album -
A short lived psychedelic new wave post punk band I was in from 2009-2011, right before Soft Riot sort of kicked off. One of the strangest things I've put my fingerprints on.

Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much. Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work.
go to album -
Deliciously bleak synthwave from Germany with jagged, sawing lead lines, throbbing rhythms, & ghostly vocals.
