lyrics
Write yourself again — one word, two, five… ten
You’re a man of unknown fate
Who reaches out with a lot to say
At the terminal you stay late
As light shine over the artificial bay
Don’t stop, your imagination is so on fire
They are collecting you through wire
And you give yourself away in many words a day
Write yourself into the void again
Connect another dot to dot
Waste your time on it
As you reach out nothing feels air tight
You then shut down and you’re out of it
You’re a woman of unknown fate
Pass by boys swinging through the electric gates
And you think “Yes, the situation has gone sour”
As they memorise your face in this place
Where rules forget to play
So you throw everything right into the bay
Write yourself into the void again
Connect another dot to dot
Waste your time on it
Coast to coast your secrets are locked up air tight
You then shut down and you’re out of it
Write yourself again — one word, two, five… ten
Give yourself away — one, two, six, eight… ten
You’re a man of unknown fate
Who reaches out with a lot to say
At the terminal you stay late
As light shine over the artificial bay
Don’t stop, your imagination is so on fire
They are collecting you through wire
And you give yourself away in many words a day
Write yourself into the void again
Connect another dot to dot
Waste your time on it
As you reach out nothing feels air tight
You then shut down and you’re out of it
You’re a woman of unknown fate
Pass by boys swinging through the electric gates
And you think “Yes, the situation has gone sour”
As they memorise your face in this place
Where rules forget to play
So you throw everything right into the bay
Write yourself into the void again
Connect another dot to dot
Waste your time on it
Coast to coast your secrets are locked up air tight
You then shut down and you’re out of it
Write yourself again — one word, two, five… ten
Give yourself away — one, two, six, eight… ten

Released as a track on the 2013 album Fiction Prediction album, this track laid dormant for around five years after which point a complete re-work of this track started in 2018 and then on and off again over more recent times. Having a personal attachment this track, there was a feeling that it could come out as something new and stronger with an updated stylistic direction. It's been drastically reworked with some new instrumentation, re-recorded vocals and a completely new mix finished in April 2021.

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.
