lyrics
Look at those loud signs standing silently in the air
High above the crowds shifting in the rain
Finding their destinations with results so different
Making the connection to activate the sparks
Feeling restless can be somewhat dangerous
You grate the time away like machinery locked in rust
The repetition can make one possibly deranged
It’s a dilemma that never seems to age
Can you feel it sometimes?
The calm when taking off the edge
Coming back to life
And looking where to stick the wedge
Can you feel it sometimes when you’re awake?
Having a place to stand, it seems so obvious
Keep the movement forward until it goes to bust
You’re made to feel at home
It all seems the right tone
So why don’t you feel fine?
There’s no way to contain it. It’s just what it is.
Passing to it a push to see what gives.
Can you feel it sometimes?
The calm when taking off the edge
Coming back to life
And looking where to stick the wedge
High above the crowds shifting in the rain
Finding their destinations with results so different
Making the connection to activate the sparks
Feeling restless can be somewhat dangerous
You grate the time away like machinery locked in rust
The repetition can make one possibly deranged
It’s a dilemma that never seems to age
Can you feel it sometimes?
The calm when taking off the edge
Coming back to life
And looking where to stick the wedge
Can you feel it sometimes when you’re awake?
Having a place to stand, it seems so obvious
Keep the movement forward until it goes to bust
You’re made to feel at home
It all seems the right tone
So why don’t you feel fine?
There’s no way to contain it. It’s just what it is.
Passing to it a push to see what gives.
Can you feel it sometimes?
The calm when taking off the edge
Coming back to life
And looking where to stick the wedge

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.

Nichts - yes, just that as a reflection of my current circumstances & thinkings of a life itself. Album is great! After a long, long time, brought me back to Selofan. I alwayas liked that cold-wave/dark-wave sound.
go to album -
Deliciously bleak synthwave from Germany with jagged, sawing lead lines, throbbing rhythms, & ghostly vocals.
