lyrics

The sun rising and setting,
And I can't keep up with the tides,
Ten years in the blink of an eye

So much has changed,
Scared of my own age,
Scared of things staying the same,
Or my youth just slipping away

Endless need to improve,
Feels like I'll never be enough,
But what's inherently wrong with being myself?

All this time I've kept things inside,
Not vulnerable enough to confide,
But it's exhausting trying to constantly hide,
An ego shielded by pride

Sometimes I wanna, I wanna go back,
Be back in my old habitat,
But even home ain't like it used to be

Lately my head is filled with noise,
That drowns out the sound of your voice,
Slowly slipping into the void

I find myself lost amongst the clouds,
Crystal clear to a haze of doubt,
And now my head is fuzz and everything's spinning around

This life's making less sense each day,
Time rapidly slipping away,
Every day looks the same,
And I can't feel a thing

It's all so complex and I don't know where to go next,
But I can't sit still and swallow all of my dreams,
Or this world will swallow me,
I hope one day it'll all make sense

about

Flicker Vertigo Melbourne, Australia

Music to daydream to. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, sun-dappled guitar hooks, blissed-out melodies fluttering overhead, and hypnotic, driving grooves, plus subliminal nods to dream pop, garage psych, krautrock, shoegaze and house bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze. A dreamy, cosmic, vertigo-inducing mixture that consumes you and transmits you skyward. ... more
