Come the fading light

Let my backlog burn
Sold out and moved on
Thought you’d save me
Instead you let me burn
All those questions that all
sorts throw at you
Come the fading light
It’s out the window
and you won’t fly out with me
Such a casual one
A little too intriguing
All gone stand-by
I’m a bad guy too
Mute my conscience now
Come the fading light
It’s out the window
and you won’t fly out with me
If you’re wrong I’m right
Won’t let you in, though
I’m the worst a man can be
How division breaks
How it gets you under
All this pressure
It’s beyond belief
Mute my conscience now
Come the fading light
It’s out the window
and you won’t fly out with me
If you’re wrong I’m right
Won’t let you in, though
I’m the worst a man can be
Let my backlog burn
Sold out and moved on
Thought you’d save me
Instead you let me burn
All those questions now
Come the fading light
It’s out the window
and you won’t fly out with me
If you’re wrong I’m right
Won’t let you in, though
I’m the worst a man can be

Wake the silence
04:00

Sink into my cloud
and have a mingle with my people
Don’t get loud
We’d like to think of you as equal
so come on in
Keep away from the frame now
Break the violence
Wake the silence now
On a strange kind of wave now
A change is yet to come
Any day, any day now
Break the violence
Wake the silence now
It’s a shame, such a shame
how we fade ourselves away
My crowd
It may seem a bit excessive
Still I’m avowed
As the surface’s so aggressive
So come on in
Keep away from the frame now
Break the violence
Wake the silence now
On a strange kind of wave now
A change is yet to come
Any day, any day now
Break the violence
Wake the silence now
It’s a shame, such a shame
how we fade ourselves away
Let this silence always know the
strong alliance as you go
Sink in to my cloud
and have a mingle with my people
Don’t get loud
We’d like to think of you as equal so come on in
Keep away from the frame now
Break the violence
Wake the silence now
Any day, any day now
Break the violence
Wake the silence now
Keep away from the frame now
Break the violence
Wake the silence now
On a strange kind of wave now
A change is yet to come

Dystopia
04:30

In a soaked chaiselong
barely awake by a buzzing fridge
I find myself clinging to a 45
I don’t know where I got it
so bizarrely confusing...
What am I waiting out?
Is my existence simply lost on me?
Could it be I made these monsters?
Could it be I’ve lost my mind?
It’s such a feeble excuse
but just hear me out
If you’ve felt the gloom
in all your doubts
Turning a nonentity and
someone points the direction
all you need is to follow
In this unheard-of town
to where I was guided by some mental soul
Paralysed, debilitated,
fighting hard to clear my mind
This phobia -
this phobia ends me
Dystopia
My hopes are descending
into apathy
so let go of me
Show some sympathy
for me
It’s a vicious fate, changeless and fierce
Once you had that brew you’re lost in fear
Hiding in a jungle every night and day,
it’s a trial - touching down on the deep end
Stocking up on Heinz, crippling your Mountain Dew,
turn the telly on
Devoting hours, fighting through it
Just a way to carry on
This phobia -
this phobia ends me
Dystopia
My hopes are descending
into apathy
so let go of me
Show some sympathy
for me
...into apathy
so let go of me
Show some sympathy for me

Dancing on Ruins Norway
The collaboration got started in 2020 during Covid, when Skogh approached Brandth with an idea involving bringing some cased
demos back to life.
Being a devoted new wave synth fan in his younger days this was mostly about finalising a strayed project - a conceptual album, hailing the sound of the early eighties and the old classic synthesisers.
