about

Second single from the 5th album from Flicker Vertigo 'Waking Dreamstate'

Music to daydream to. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, sun-dappled hooks, blissed out melodies fluttering overhead, explosive rhythms and intricate grooves whizzing by, plus subliminal nods to dream pop, krautrock and jazz bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze form this swirling, vertigo-inducing mixture that takes inspiration from the past and transmits it skyward.

lyrics

Silent lightning upon the horizon,
Exploding inside my mind,
Everything you said ricocheting in my head,
Now I feel this crushing sense of dread

I just wanna feel like my life isn't on rewind again,
But it's no secret we can't control everything

Feels like I've lost a part of me amongst you,
Rebuilding my old self, but my self-esteem's nowhere to be seen

Blissfully broken,
Scratched and bruised but filled with hope,
You're the most confusing end to a dream,
And now there's no going back to sleep

I just wanna feel like my life isn't on rewind again,
But it's no secret we can't control everything

Feels like I've lost a part of me amongst you,
Rebuilding my old self, but my self-esteem's nowhere to be seen

You and I don't know where to go,
You and I don't know how to be ourselves,
Scared of the sound of my own voice,
Speaking those words that I needed to say,
It's painful enough as it is,
So I don't think that we can ever be friends,
I hope that I'll forget you soon,
While holding onto the hope that you won't too

Feels like I've lost a part of me amongst you,
Rebuilding my old self, but my self-esteem's nowhere to be seen,
Nowhere to be seen, nowhere,
Nowhere

Sitting here, sigh behind my lips,
Waiting for apocalypse,
I can feel a sense of hope,
Here it comes, off it goes,
I don't know what to say,
I can't move or communicate,
Can I go on? So afraid,
To take a step in this new age,
Scan the streets for a smile,
Think it's gonna be a while,
Sitting here, sigh behind my lips,
Just me and our apocalypse
