No way there’s no way
There’s no way hey
No way 
Say there’s no way hey
No way

I'm dying inside I'm naked 
The summer's burning 
But I know I'm whispering 
"Follow the skies 
The devil is white"
It’s nothing of me
But it’s all I can make today

No way there’s no way
There’s no way hey
No way 
Say there’s no way hey
No way

Your fate coming
Death from katana
We fly to Japan
But we’ll never make it
To France a station 
To renew your cover
I will recover, I will recover

No way there’s no way
There’s no way hey
No way 
Say there’s no way hey
No way

I’ll find you
It’s all I need to do

The sky in disguise won’t matter
It doesn’t matter, it don’t matter to me
The sky, the sky, doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter

The sky, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, the sky
The sky, doesn’t matter, too late, it’s too late! 

No way there’s no way
There’s no way hey
No way 
Say there’s no way hey
No way

COMPLEXITES HUMAINES

The other side

Electric obsession.
Red light accumulation.
Sex filter inside us.
Keeps things from heat exhaustion

With you, closer to,
Inside you, breathing fumes,
Two secrets, you keep them,
Away from me.

She never knew it would come to this
Never had known what to make of it
Red lipstick dark hair a silhouette 
Then I found you smoking cigarettes
You looked at me

Look at us we have something to say
Act nonchalant as people watch
Tell me a story I'll tell one too
Sip from your drink I'll take a sip or two
Now let's dance

She drifts within everyone around
Dancer the dark is your superstar
Moving through people they're all the same
Red lipstick girl I didn't get your name

Dark hair girl
Dark hair girl
Dark hair girl

Dark Hair Girl

Hello, hello, my time machine adenosine.
The sky agrees.
It’s all we see.
Under a tree. 

I find your eyes under a sign.
You can’t decide what happens next. 
Cause you’re so twisted, you’re so tempted.
Cannot hide it, cannot accept it now.

We die inside a super star.
And time ticks by.
You slip and slide.
The path aligns.

The pressure fails to read the code.
It happens slow, a bomb explodes.
Cause you’re so twisted, you’re so tempted.
Cannot hide it, cannot accept it now.

Chorus
You and I.
We have to watch seals die.
The clouds have eyes and now we’re compromised.
We have to watch the bomb destroy.
Everything, everything, everything we have under the sun.

Am I alive? My body’s cold, but I don’t know.
Can barely breathe. Can barely move.

I find it funny that we made it.
The floor has cracked and two large pieces.
Far apart, too much debris.
Fires burn as far as I can see.

So I don’t know what happens now the sun is cold.
A flower born into this world.
Without remorse, without disease.
But somehow made, it somehow made it.
I won’t stop this. I won’t let it.
Please don’t let it go before it dies.

When night falls she stays and awaits him
The night of the red cloak, to save me
From death to life, he'll baptize me
Renew and convert me to being
wake now
from deep in your dreaming
wake now
from dead in your sleeping
don't cry now
can't dread in your weeping
wake to
the hell you are seeing
Bird of night forgo my life for me
At daybreak sing over my calyx
A lull for tranquility-solace
We'll lie at the water's edge 
wake now
from deep in your dreaming
wake now
from dead in your sleeping
Don't cry now
can't dread in your weeping
wake to
the hell you are seeing
Nine circles we pass through to rebirth
When Virgil can light me the way
Limbo to treason we journey
Emerge at dawn to the stars

Lyrics

VERSE 1

[Wawlwerk/Sharkchild]
Lay your hands on me.
Lay your touch upon the curves that shape me.
Lay your head on me.
Lay your dreams along the realms that propel the future of us.
Lay your warmth on me.
Lay your flames across the skies that I see.
Lay your breath in me.
Lay your life beside the promise that holds us in the now.

CHORUS
[Moxhege/Sharkchild together]

[Moxhege]
All, all that I need in this life is your light to guide me beyond the galaxy’s night;
Lead me, fill me, thrill me with your cosmic light.

[Sharkchild]
All that I need is your heart—your arms around me.
And all that I need is your light, your light.

VERSE 2

[Wawlwerk/Sharkchild]
Lay your words on me.
Lay your spell upon the walls within me.
Lay your time for me.
Lay your age aside and let your soul be free for all of eternity.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

[Chrymiq]
And everything you say you’ll do—
You’ll do it but you know it’s true:
All I need is but your love;
All I need is but your touch.
And everything you say you’ll be—
It doesn’t matter much to me.
‘Cause all I need is just your light;
All I need is but your...

The Council of Days - The Look (Black Sun Rising Mix)

Echolust is an American band formed in Long Beach, California in 2011. The band consists of musicians Philip Obando, Armond Angeles and Tony Lee Jackson. Together, they recapture and reinterpret important eras of subculture essence that has musically influenced them their entire lives, through personal point of views, perspectives, experiences, gains and losses. 



Philip was about to give it all up, annoyed and frustrated with the lack of finding the right people to write music with. One summer, upon recording a few demos in 2012, he met Armond through friends at an Echo and The Bunnymen show in Los Angeles. Armond did bass work for a Smiths-like sounding band. But after a few recorded tracks, there was no more motion and movement and they disbanded soon thereafter. Philip and Armond exchanged information and a couple months later started recording songs. The goal was to create a five track EP release. However, instead of an EP, they decided to write an entire LP record, and soon sought the talents of a lead guitarist. While the music that was being created sounded great, there was an element missing. Philip told Armond that the tracks needed a sound that was more distorted, something of a mixture of Cocteau Twins, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine. One night, Philip was Dj-ing at a small dive bar when he met Tony. During a Cocteau Twins track, Tony approached Philip and they soon started talking about music. That's when Philip knew he was the right guy for the job. Tony's musical background consists of having recorded work for bands, Pile Up and Russian Bones, however stalled in 2001 due to death, drug addiction and personal bickering. But soon, all three were recording new material. 



All three bring very specific elements to the table. Armond's basslines are reminiscent of a beloved 80's gloomy English Post Punk era, cold, delayed and distant, Tony's experimental shoegaze textures captures a wildly beautiful but contained distortion, while Philip's guitar, synth and lyrics tell stories about a sense of personal loss, wonder and moving on. 

It’s been one of the more curious things about Los Angeles: Here, in the land of sun, sand and self-importance, a vital vein of post-punk music — and its shoegaze, darkwave and industrial variants — has always flowed freely. Echolust are among the latest to indulge in shadowy soundscapism. The Long Beach duo of Philip Obens and Armond Angeles this spring released a seven-song collection titled “Fourier Series” that sounds like it came from some gloomy U.K. city in the 1980s. Which is a good thing for fans of Joy Division, the Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen and inhabitants of that musical lineage. Obens handles the singing, guitar and synths here, Angeles the bass, and together they’ve nailed the foreboding but cathartic beauty of the music.
