Symmetry

We’re lazy eyes and crooked teeth
We’re heavy hearts and broken dreams
Symmetry isn’t everything
Symmetry isn’t everything
We’re black eyes and twisted thoughts
Showing up in camouflage
Symmetry isn’t everything
Symmetry isn’t everything
We’re all here because we’re somewhere else
We’re all trying to convince ourselves
Symmetry isn’t everything
We’re glad to be

When the party ends and I'm bathed in light
I'll remember dancing on my wedding night
I never wanted their angel cloud
It was only built to keep the spirit out
My heaven is a dance floor
My heaven is yours
When this all ends
The mirror ball of paradise will let us in
It's time to break it down and shake your shadow free
It's time to let the spirit dance and sing
My heaven is a dance floor
My heaven is yours
Let's dance all night
Where ghosts and angels intertwine
Why obsess on all of life's uncertainties
When the DJ spins infinity

So this is it, this is the end
Or so I read in bed
We used to sing "Come Armageddon come"
I'm all caught up, I can't break free
State sponsored anxiety
We used to talk all night
We go to bed but we can't sleep
We go to bed but we can't sleep
Oh darling it's killing me
Because
Every day is like doomsday
Every day keeps me awake
Here we are again, get into bed
Faces illuminated
By bad news bad news bad news
Yeah, give me more, give me the blues
Inject me with the news
Another scorched earth still birth year
You know
Every day is like doomsday
Every day keeps me awake
You're putting us to the test Lord
Can almost taste the steel of your sword
But the joy just doesn't come around anymore
Every day is like doomsday
Every day keeps me awake

The Weight of Your Hand
04:40
|
|

You can tell by the look in my eyes
That I've been up all night
Next to my beautiful wife
Counting the ways we could fuck up your life
We'll get it right we'll get it wrong
Our time's too short and our days too long
But when I feel your fingers in my palm
I wanna squeeze away the guns and the bombs
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Now here we lay just a tangle of limbs
Sending hearts across bridges of skin
Don't know where you end and I begin
Just can't die till I watch you live
Soon these days will feel so rare
Soon I'll just be grasping at air
And as I tell you life is unfair
I reach out and find your fingers there
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Oh God it's the morning sun
I count the reasons I'm already done
I count your fingers with my thumb
You grip harder and my heart goes bum bum bum bum
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man

When I Was Dead
04:03

I got the job when I was dead
Found a church when I was dead
Put down my phone when I was dead
When I was dead I missed you
I played my records when I was dead
Read more books when I was dead
Danced like we used to when I was dead
When I was dead I missed you
Up so late when I was dead
Woke up whenever when I was dead
Lived it up when I was dead
When I was dead I missed you
Life is so strange, life is so strange, life is so strange

For every flash of perfect bliss
There are a hundred nights just like this
A hundred things I want to say
That won't come out till I press play
Angels of the underground
Did we forget to keep you close?
Angels of the underground
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
From the heaven of a bedroom wall
Did you descend or did you fall?
We called you here to free the night
We called you here to make it right
Angels of the underground
You soothed our souls time after time
Angels of the underground
Let's get dark
Where'd you go?
For every song that took up arms
For every song that braved our storms
A hundred hymns to call our own
I play them over and over in a row
Angels of the underground
You're going to soothe our souls this one last time
ngels of the underground
Let's get dark
Where'd you go?

This Momentary Bliss
05:09

When we were dolphins swimming through God's eyes
You know the thought of treading heaven
Didn't even cross my mind
It wakes me up in the middle of the night now
It wakes me up in the middle of the night
I'll wonder what I could have been for you
When I'm floating face down in the fountain of youth
Just some driftwood in your everblue
Just some driftwood in your everblue
I'd bend time for you
All the time for you
To get more time with you
Just like this momentary bliss
Oh stay like this
Cos time takes more than it can give
Time takes more than it can give
It happens faster than you think it will
Don't think too much baby, I think too much still
You never really have time to kill
You never really have time to kill
But I would promise to
Never leave too soon
Never leave too soon
Just like this momentary bliss
Oh stay like this
Cos time takes more than it can give
Time takes more than it can give
Everyone's learning the language of ghosts
Everyone's whispering stay, please go
Everyone's falling towards heaven and so it goes
When I look up to the everblue
I'm really looking for ways I can break back into
This momentary bliss I have with you
This momentary bliss I have with you
I will break the rules
I will break the rules
I will break on through
Just like this momentary bliss
Oh stay like this
Cos time takes more than it can give
Time takes more than it can give
I would promise to
Never leave too soon
Never leave too soon

Forever Machines
04:38

What on earth are we fighting for
What on earth are you aiming at
Are you praying for a holy war
Where on earth are the exits at
So how did we get here
That I'm scanning the room
That I'm looking for exits
To get away, to get away from you
And all the triggers inside you, they won't go away
And all the bullets beside you, do you just wait for the day
It's now, it's now or never
Point your forever machine between my eyes
Was it ever really about the cross
Or do the crosshairs get your precious prayers
Fear God play God it's all the same to you
And now we're standing here with our hands in the air
I know you won't read it
The Sermon on the Mount
I know you don't need it
When your Gospel is stand your ground
Just leave the kids alone
And I'll do anything
What is God telling you
That God's not telling me
You think the Holy Ghost
Wants you to make a ghost of me
Make a ghost of me
All the triggers inside you, they won't go away
All the bullets beside you, do you just wait for the day
It's now, it's now or never
Point your forever machines between my eyes
It's now, it's now or never
Point your forever machines between my eyes
And it's all upside down and all back to front
The gates of heaven all guarded with guns
The one you keep underneath your bed
That's the one you dream of pointing at our heads
And oh, will life ever be safe again
Will life ever be sane again

The Sulky Youth
02:27

All the verse about kisses
All the unrequited writing
The decades have decided
I was a romantic goof
One of the sulky youth
The sulky youth
Always misunderstood
When I look back on my bad luck
All the failings and the feelings
Well the decades they tell me
I was a self absorbed fool
One of the sulky youth
The sulky youth
Was that attractive to you?
And now Christine's reminiscing
The scene seems like a dream
Well the decades have made her
A mother of two
Her own sulky youth
The sulky youth
So misunderstood

Hope Is Hard
04:01

Let the rain rush through the roof
Let the rain fill up your heart
It's just the storm before the bomb
The truth is hope is hard
I spent fifty dollars on survival pills
So we can make it through this long night
And the kids will hear our pathetic prayers
And let us wake in light
Won't let this year ruin my day
Another protest song
Maybe we just say that hope is here
Even when all hope is gone
Every heart is here
Every heart is home
Slow crushed in the heaven of us
At least we're not alone
Every heart is here
Every heart is home
Slow crushed in the heaven of us
At least we're not alone
Every heart is here
At least we're not alone

The Julies Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The Julies were — and somehow are again — an American alternative/indie guitar band that mixes influences from ’80s post- punk and new wave with ’90s shoegaze, indie rock and britpop to create music that was, in the case of 1996’s Lovelife EP at least, singularly magical. ... more

everything is alive
by Slowdive
supported by 25 fans who also own “Always & Always”
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
