Piece of driftwood rot down the flow 
I lost the name of my other soul
					
Invite me to a distant land
With only wind and light as my only friends 
When the lonely weight creeps upon my dreams 
I'll take a pill to muffle all my screams
					
(I didn't see it coming
Now I couldn't look away
I changed my pace to catch you
I changed my pace to stay 
Disappear in the water
With all the words you never say 
I'll be quiet I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
Awaiting
Awaiting
Awaiting)
					
Piece of driftwood rot down the flow 
I lost the name of my other soul
					
Greet me with your soulful eyes 
Greet me with your solemn lies 
Greet me with a smile that blinds 
Greet me with a threat that shines

Another Soul

“The Beautiful is that which is well-formed and aesthetically pleasing, whereas the Sublime is that which has the power to compel and destroy us. The preference for the Sublime over the Beautiful drove us to create what sometimes feels out of place. The preference for the Sublime over the Beautiful was what compelled us to extreme emotions that are not commonly desirable; fear, anxiety, deep despair, confinement, mania, exhaustion, lunacy.

Our existence did not come from popular demand and nor the nature of our work will be."


Formed in 2013, Hong Kong, David Boring is named after the unlikely hero from Daniel Clowes's cult classic graphic novel. Signatured with their dirty, experimental noise, male-female interlacing dialogues and the enigmatically cathartic live performances, DB experiments in ways that both confront and empathise with the modern world, revealing a dark, claustrophobic world that either excites or traumatises. Since the release of their debut album in 2017, DB went from being an underground cult favourite, to exploding into the international radar. The band's bold and unique appeal drew the attention of international critics, music lovers, and the cultural crowd.


DAVID BORING is Laujan (vocal), Jason Cheung (guitar, vocal), Jonathan Yang (bass), Kit Yip (guitar), and Underdog (drums).
