will i survive [ALL PLATS]

🖤 The Miracle Syndicate — “Room Without a Mirror” 

Woke at four,
shoes still by the door.
One light flickers,
floorboards warped and sore.

Numb from skin to sound,
clock has no more hands.
Staring at the ceiling cracks,
I still don’t understand.

Call me — dare you.
Feed the thought, undo me.
Fall through — dare you.
One breath away from losing.

This is a room without a mirror,
no one to face, no one to fear.
Days fold over, thin as air.
I speak, but no one’s there.

Three missed calls,
numbers I don’t save.
Voice notes haunt
the space I crave.

Can’t read my own reflections,
shades drawn tight.
My voice a slow infection,
folding out of sight.

Call me — dare you.
Feed the thought, undo me.
Fall through — dare you.
One breath away from losing.

This is a room without a mirror,
no one to face, no one to fear.
Days fold over, thin as air.
I speak, but no one’s there.

Every word’s a wire,
pulled too thin.
Every look’s a fire
I won’t let in.

Room without a mirror,
face without a name.
Lie here in the static,
feed the frame.

Room Without A Mirror

wherewillyougo?

"Ashes in the Rain" is a gothic post-punk song that explores the lingering traces of a lost love, haunting the protagonist like a shadow. Inspired by the melancholic and minimalist style of The Cure during the "Boys Don't Cry" era, the song blends clean and reverberated guitars, pulsing bass, and painfully restrained vocals, sometimes layered with ghostly echoes.

The lyrics navigate nostalgia, loss, and obsession. The sonic world is introspective and timeless, dominated by sensations: rain, ashes, silence, haunted sleep.

Sound effects amplify this atmosphere: distant whispers, heavy reverberations, subtle vocal modulations. The bridge loses its melody, giving way to ghostly percussion and distorted murmurs, before the final chorus returns in a kind of emotional catharsis.

"Ashes in the Rain" is both a lament and a dance frozen in memory. It touches those who love sadness set to music, with elegance and restraint.

« Ashes in the Rain » est une chanson post-punk gothique qui explore les traces persistantes d'un amour perdu, hantant le protagoniste telle une ombre. Inspirée par le style mélancolique et minimaliste de The Cure à l'époque « Boys Don't Cry », la chanson mêle guitares claires et réverbérées, basses pulsées et voix douloureusement retenue, parfois parsemée d'échos fantomatiques.

Les paroles naviguent entre nostalgie, perte et obsession. L'univers sonore est introspectif et intemporel, dominé par des sensations : pluie, cendres, silence, sommeil hanté.

Des effets sonores amplifient cette atmosphère : murmures lointains, réverbérations lourdes, subtiles modulations vocales. Le pont perd sa mélodie, laissant place à des percussions fantomatiques et des murmures distordus, avant que le refrain final ne revienne dans une sorte de catharsis émotionnelle.

« Ashes in the Rain » est à la fois une complainte et une danse figée dans la mémoire. Il touche ceux qui aiment la tristesse mise en musique, avec élégance et retenue.

„Ashes in the Rain“ ist ein Post-Punk-Gothic-Chanson, das die anhaltenden Spuren einer ewigen Liebe erforscht und dem Protagonisten ein Ombre erzählt. Inspiriert vom melancholischen und minimalistischen Stil von The Cure aus der Epoche „Boys Don't Cry“, ist der Chanson eine Mischung aus Gitarren, Klar- und Halltönen, pulsierenden Bässen und zurückhaltenden Stimmen, parfümiert durch fantasievolle Echos.

Die Parolen navigieren zwischen Nostalgie, Frechheit und Besessenheit. L'univers sonore ist introspektiv und intemporel, dominiert von Empfindungen: Pluie, Cendres, Stille, Sommeil Hanté.

Die Klangeffekte verstärken diese Atmosphäre: Lendenwirbel, laute Widerhall, subtile Modulationen und Gesang. Der Brückenkopf liegt in der Melodie, an einem ruhigen Ort mit fantasievollen Perkussionen und verzerrten Geräuschen, bevor der letzte Refrain in einer Art emotionaler Katharsis wiederbelebt wird.

„Ashes in the Rain“ ist eine Klage und ein Tanz, der im Gedächtnis ertönt. Es berührt die Tristesse der Musik, mit Eleganz und Zurückhaltung.

Ashes in the Rain

Molly's Straitjacket

lyrics:

I am not okay
It's hard to explain
What's going on inside my brain
I wish you didn't leave me here
We were so close to making it dear
And you said we wouldn't part
But I know
I know
It wasn't the part where
We had a good start

Maybe later

Tell me love, if a flame never lasts
Or the lie of waiting here for love over searching for it,
Would it be otherworldly for me to leave all of this for a second? 
I'll be coming back home
But until then, I’ll live on the road of love again

I’m on a train
I’m on the Regional
Goin' at the raw speed of our heads in a world of romance
It's so wonderful here
I'm taking a chance on my future 

I hope you understand all of this movement is for you, my old friend
(My younger self)
You’ll love this path to renew my faith in love in a newfound place down south
Where the blue French waves hit shore
I need this

It feels so holy inside my chest 
While thinking I’m inches away of bliss
Those beautiful hills
Overlooking my destination
Californian bliss

Kiss me at the Funeral

With "Temporary Souls", Esplanada offers a musical meditation on fragility and impermanence. Between ethereal layers, a warm bass, and a muted groove that at times recalls the rhythmic elegance of Fleetwood Mac, the track moves forward like a lucid dream, carried by introspective vocals and arrangements that favor space and nuance. A piece that lingers in suspension long after its final note.
