“I know you're sad, I know your days are bleeding too 
And I know I make you sad.
I don't understand how not to,
but please don't bring in more of the grief,	
don't add to it
If there is more,
then I won't be able to breathe and I'll die”
					
And I miss it, too
And I miss it like you do
A tender version of the end of the world
					
No memories, no emotions
No pleasure, no pain
No medals, no wounds
Neither beautiful nor ugly
Neither significant nor unimpressive
Never experience another moment of ecstasy 
Never fall into depression again
					
// Breathe
Before you come I’ll close my eyes 
Please join me at my last lullaby 
I’m so intoxicated I could die
					
Breathe
There’s no need to feel ashamed
It’s just the end of a game
They'll take my face, they'll take my name //
				
My last dream
I can see it now
My life made sense
Everything made sense
They were necessary to make this possible 

		
II
And when white noise becomes reality 
I didn’t let go 
I just let it be
					
Approaching / Approaching 
Fearful / Fearful 
Blind / Blind 
Feel it / Feel it 
Learn it / Learn it 
Take it / Take it 
We come to nothing
					
On fire / On fire 
Evolve / Evolve 
Perfection / Perfection 
Dissolve / Dissolve 
On fire / On fire 
Evolve / Evolve 
Perfection / Perfection 
Strip to my bones

			
III
I'll drop my shell 
I'll drop my name 
They've never been mine anyway 
Release from all mortal boredom and mortal pain 
We won’t have to hold on 
There’s nothing to be fearful of

A fiery cry of my name 
Rewriting all the rules of this game 
Ever so hopeful ever so blind 
If I could only burn this last picture onto my mind 
But it will soon be rotting		
So preciously rotting rotting rottin

“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).
