Ever stop and wonder
about the world around?
The perfect imperfections
and nature's splendour?
And do you see the colours
of the fading skies?
And do you hear the ocean?
Do you remember?
Crossing red lights
Pushing old ladies aside
Nothing comes between
You and your screen
The wave of make-believe
We're the zombie nations
scrolling by
Stage the scene
Hunting the 'likes', the fakery
Zombie nations
living virtual lives
Ever stop and wonder
about the games we played?
Chase and tag and hide-and-seek?
How we surrendered
The late night conversations
lying face-to-face?
Sharing secrets, smiles and tears
Do you remember?
Crossing red lights
Pushing old ladies aside
Nothing comes between
You and your screen
Imagine being present now
Imagine letting go somehow
Your fear of missing out
destroys the here and now
Shut it down, look around
just for a while
Your screen
The wave of make-believe
We're the zombie nations
scrolling by
Stage the scene
Hunting the 'likes', the fakery
Zombie nations
living virtual lives
Second favourite: "I Fade". Other great (!) songs are "Ocean" amd "Mainland" (which has a Loreena McKennitt-meets-Within Temptation vibe) I have procrastinated buying her "Kings & Queens" album. I shall fix that immediately. Pie
How do you top the magnificence of Extinction Six? With an absolutely mesmerizing EP that shows the continued evolution of Dialith into a force to be reckoned with. Vocals that can cut like a knife or charm a cobra, grandiose melodies and RIFFS.
Undertow will go down as one of, if not the most listened to songs of 2021 for me & I expect on my death bed it'll be one of the most listened to songs in my life. subsequentseer
