Watching all your friends get high,
let the moment pass you by,
as the future fades.
Light another cigarette,
for the ones you never meant to,
as the future fades.
The nights you were the life and soul,
the days are beyond your control,
you can't walk away.
You came to rule the civilized man,
now he takes you by the hand,
through the killing grounds.
And the 21st century, is losing control of me,
as the days and the night are turning, into one on me.
And the 21st centurty, is nothing I want to be,
as the days and the nights are turning, through the waves,
of the young blood.
And they watch it all happening from a distance,
they watch it all happening.
As the Future Fades, through the waves of the young blood.
The architecture weeps, there is no revolution,
you've got nothing to say.
The artificial lighting, is dead locked in the air,
it won't light the way.
Where do you bury your dead men, so they never return again,
and do they hear me now.
You search for them in the backstreets,
you wash your hands at their feet, for what the others say.
And the 21st century, is losing control of me,
as the days and the night are turning, into one on me.
And the 21st centurty, is nothing I want to be,
as the days and the nights are turning, through the waves,
of the young blood.
And they watch it all happening from a distance,
they watch it all happening.
As the Future Fades, through the waves of the young blood.
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Better late to the party than never. How did I miss this band? It's a great blend of The Cure during their 'a forest' period and alternative rock. The first track Grandview plunges you into an ocean of psychodelic guitars and rythmic drums and like a siren lures you into the depths. A very accomplished album and although I wouldn't categorize it as Gothic it captures the early spirit of that dusty genre better than most contemporary bands nowadays. stargazing robot
In the sweet spot of '80s college radio/goth nostalgia, this LA group has big pop hooks, chiming guitars and a wry, dark sense of humor. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016
Subsonic Eye combines math rock, dream pop, and guitar sounds borrowed from post-rock for songs that whirl and flurry, but never quite settle. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 15, 2023
