Lyrics
I know you see me, fallen so far from the tree,
I've seen your face in here before.
Gave up the old ways, seven sins in seven days.
Will she be your lover or your ghost?

If you're done with ground control, come fine me at the intermission
If you wanna lose control, let me show you what you're missing

I wanna love you, I wanna love you, I wanna love you the way I want to, I want to take you over.

Mama's gonna bring your milk, feed the kid and kill the shrink
I see you faking baby, don't edit, don't edit
Dress your kiss, gotta move, Chinese hips were made to groove
There ain't no drama mama, take your pills enjoy your coma

I wanna love you, I wanna love you, I wanna love you the way I want to, I want to take you over.

Wanting, always looking
searching for that door
Feeling, always hoping
Believing more and more

Will I find it in your eyes
Or will I go home empty-handed?
Will I see it in your smile
Or do I always end up stranded?

Do I go on getting nowhere?
The world is low, the wind blows cold
Is there no one (Is there no one?)
I can hold on? (I can hold on)
It is tough I’ve been told

All the people and their places
The names and all their faces
What do they say?
They’re walking hand in hand
But do they understand
What games they play?

Lyrics
Didn't know I was going to miss you,
sniffing cinema slips in the Silver Spoon
All the things you do, I wanna play with you,
my favourite ambush
Does it scare you when I say to you?

Fall, that I want to fall with you
And I want to fall with you, fall with you
I want to fall with you, fall with you

Pain au chocolat, morning high, pixel eyes on other boys
You are my fury sunshine, my little everything
and you push and you pull and you cut my bubble baby, don't you burst my bubble baby,
don't you cut my, don't you burst my bubble baby

Fall with you, fall with you 
I want to fall with you, fall with you

Dye your hair to get some gum, killing killers can be fun
An easy lover a comic, I'll pull my punch in the morning
Takes more than a woman to want to take a chance on us

I got to get on with my time, I got to move on
I got to keep on with the time, I got to keep on
I got to get on with my time, got to get on
Got to move on with the time, I got to move on

Fall with you, fall with you
I want to fall with you, fall with you

Fall With You

Lyrics
Ripped up and I'm ready to go, living at the end of a rope
Leaves some scars but the girl in the car's bringing the hustle for her turn to blow
Open your eyes innocent child, tell me can you suffer the knife
My, my, stack 'em up high, every single muscle must be tight

You don't know what you do baby, where you go I cannot follow
You don't know what you do baby, where you go I cannot follow

Big cheese, pick a pretty one for me. Heaven at the end of a rope
Go so far you can never go back, haunted by the shadow of a ghost
The jelly won't come til they double the dose, check your coat at the door
The ferryman know what the ferryman know, he won't take it but he'll watch the show
Just a little show, just a little taste of the show, just a little show, just until we're ready to go, just a little show, just a little taste of the show

You don't know what you do baby, where you go I cannot follow
You don't know what you do baby, where you go I cannot follow

Inside a dream, a life without sin, oh child, oh child
Its a love scene, a win for the bad team, oh child, oh child

You don't know what you do baby, where you go I cannot follow
You don't know what you do baby, where you go I cannot follow

Taste of my regret, sour, dry mouth, bitter morning
Another man lies sleeping in my bed
Had a chance to crack open wide your darkroom data
I chose to leave that stone unturned. I left that stone unturned

Darkroom Data

Lyrics:
I stare into the fire, sick with my desire, you’re smiling secretly
Like a naked flame, touched by hydrogen, we blew up instantly

I’m not something that you wanted honey,
but I’m just the thing you need, I'm the thing you need
I’m not something that you wanted honey,
but I’m just the thing you need, I'm the thing you need

Your voice inside my head, you pushed me to the edge and watched my every move
On the lonely streets, you still follow me through our midnight city

I’m not something that you wanted honey,
but I’m just the thing you need, I'm the thing you need
I’m not something that you wanted honey,
but I’m just the thing you need, I'm the thing you need

I'm the thing you need, I'm the thing you need, I'm the thing you need

You’re inside that dream, my lucky number seven, my lovely love machine
I kissed the taxi driver with my tongue full of cider, why don’t you watch me take a shower
You always thought I meant something else, and now he’s gone, never to return
It’s too late, you’re too drunk, love is not for everyone

I'm the thing you need, I'm the thing you need
The thing that you need, thing that you need

I stare into the fire, sick with my desire, you’re smiling secretly
Like a naked flame, touched by hydrogen, we blew up instantly

Hydrogen

Darkroom Data are an indie electro pop duo, comprising Irish vocalist Gillian NoVa and Brazilian composer Márcio Paz. Their sound features expressive, atmospheric soundscapes, converging with flourishing melodic hooks and expansive rhythmic allure. Tones range from the warm and cinematic to the bittersweet melancholic, serving as a decadent call out to the mysterious and contentious.

Previous single "Hydrogen" achieved ample praise for its nocturnal synth-driven pop sound, charting on Hype Machine’s most popular list and receiving press from outlets like Podcart, Obscure Sound, Son of Marketing, Indie Buddie, and AnalogueTrash. Press has compared Darkroom Data to acts like Chromatics, College, London Grammar, CHVRCHS, and Niki & the Dove.

Prior releases have shown the duo’s encounters with dark, fantastical characters and a yearning for lost, late-night spaces. With a more expansive exploration of audio collage, lost samples, and velvet synths, their latest release 'Groovatta' delivers a headier deep dive into Darkroom Data’s peculiar world, which touts a decidedly cinematic character, reminiscent of Polanski and David Lynch, as if Chinatown or Blue Velvet were set in small-town Ireland.
