can again the severed bind?
though we drifted, aimless, undefined;
every waking momemt I miss you
and in vain reprise
I remember the tears spilling from your eyes
I don’t think we thought this through
leagues across the sea
The tides break endlessly
looking down between the clouds to see white caps on waves of green
a world and time apart to spend; for us, what does it mean?
there entrap't within our circumstance unseen,
shall I be lured back someday by the song of La Sirene?
in waning days
our dying prospects to appraise;
amid the scent of verdigris
but had I dreamed?
or was our union stronger than it seemed
that you would come to me?
leagues across the sea
The tides break endlessly
looking down between the clouds to see white caps on waves of green
a world and time apart to spend; for us, what does it mean?
there entrap't within our circumstance unseen,
shall I be lured back someday by the song of La Sirene?

Termination Shock

more than I, more than I could bring to bear
what could it take to win your fervor there?
your radiance, it blinds and burns me, burns me to the core
what was all my adoration for?
again, around in vain reprise
you and I divide the skies
and in dispassionate delight
you are speckled by starlight
too far away to feel your luminance
or wheel, celestial and brave, in dance
your figure, wrapped in lace-like galaxies and nebulae
seems only drifting ever more away
again, around in vain reprise
you and I divide the skies
and in dispassionate delight
you are speckled by starlight
just outside your valence field I circle around your sun
spiraling in concentric circles our orbits come undone
seasons turn in languid theatre and all we do is talk
frozen in the black outside your termination shock
and there outside your valence field, the constellations in array
tethered there in ceaseless circles, will you want me if I stay?
I see you there across the floor, and our eyes, they interlock
but will I ever drift inside your termination shock?

Sin Vector

an avatar of faith you claim,
who dares malign your name?
all the violence held within
written in the ebon ink of sin
release the dogs of gore
your lips are trained for war
speak you ill with no reprise
can you pronounce the holy name of Christ?
sin vector
sin vector, sweetest nectar (sweetest nectar)
pull out your tongue
you soul infector
sin vector
sin vector, sweetest nectar (sweetest nectar)
claw out your eyes
you soul infector
luminescent, glowing bright,
you cannot hide your light
and from the great deceiver's tongue
facetious praises sung
accept no judgment hold the line
transgressions redefine
and if one slip should mean to fall
then best to break them all
sin vector
sin vector, sweetest nectar (sweetest nectar)
pull out your tongue
you soul infector
sin vector
sin vector, sweetest nectar (sweetest nectar)
claw out your eyes
you soul infector

XYBeautiful Wrocław, Poland
Thoughtful lyrics about love and faith lost. Savage dark industrial sounds. Pristine, the debut album by Seattle's XY Beautiful is a journey of misery and hope.
XYBeautiful recommends:
Excellent aggrotech stuff from St. Paul that manages to blend in real musicality and well-crafted lyrics into the chaos.
