Fragmentia

Rui-Katsu

Skyline

To celebrate his one year anniversary with Swiss Dark Nights, EDGES brings you LIVE TRANSMISSION - a live studio performance featuring reworked songs from his debut album, Fragmentia. In this intimate showcase, EDGES (the stage name of multi-instrumentalist Nick Ruvalcaba) emphasizes the elements of his evolving sound: melancholic ballads with goth undertones and a pop sensibility, driven by his digital arrangements and signature bass playing style. LIVE TRANSMISSION serves as a juncture in the artistic journey of EDGES: a nail in the coffin of his formative chapter, and the signal of a new era.

LYRICS

Monochromatic
All dressed up in vinyl 
Staring down at your glass
I’ve never seen you
Moving so slowly
And drowning your liquor so fast
Red light casting
The shadow of a doubt
That you’d even remember my name
The night that I saw you 
Walk into the black room The neon, leather and lace
Fetish and attraction
The burden of discretion 
The secret to making it in
I know your friends are fake
But it’d be a lie to say
I didn’t envy you from the outside looking in
[CHORUS]
Another hollow shell
In a solitary hell, a 
Future dystopian scene
I know it all too well, yea
The lie you tell yourself
Just to validate all the hate and misery
Tired cliches apparently still hold true
Pain or pleasure, all depends on your point of view
Obey the code of silence 
Don’t give away the safe word 
They won’t let just anyone in
Keepers at the gate
Only theater of pain
Another L.A. story, we all know how it ends
