lyrics
Right from the start she was left to her own devices all the time
Forging something in her head, a distracting pantomime
Heartbreak and disquietude a grey fog around her head
Cracking up hysterically when it all bleeds in vibrant red
But it’s no laughing matter…
It’s no laughing matter
And if only you knew
Random faces and alien places can make a house not home
Sudden bursts of violence that make it hard to roam
Closing doors end up exposing cracks in the veneer
There are times she finds it amusing as that’s all she can do
But it’s no laughing matter…
It’s no laughing matter
And if only you knew
That that’s just the half of it
Forging something in her head, a distracting pantomime
Heartbreak and disquietude a grey fog around her head
Cracking up hysterically when it all bleeds in vibrant red
But it’s no laughing matter…
It’s no laughing matter
And if only you knew
Random faces and alien places can make a house not home
Sudden bursts of violence that make it hard to roam
Closing doors end up exposing cracks in the veneer
There are times she finds it amusing as that’s all she can do
But it’s no laughing matter…
It’s no laughing matter
And if only you knew
That that’s just the half of it

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.
