The Songs

Already, Always

Red Light Heaven

Attempt

TALK IT OUT 

You talk, I cry, you bleed, I die
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine

Take me away from this place 
where my hearts on my sleeve and my eyes are opaque
Your thoughts my mind
My life’s not mine

Several times I want out I may seem the same
but I’m different today 
I need to talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out

Your eyes, I’m blind, your sense, I try
Help me to see, I need company

Take me away from this place 
where my hearts on my sleeve and my eyes are opaque
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
My life’s not mine
My life’s not mine 

Several times I want out I may seem the same
but I’m different today 
I need to talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out 

You bleed, I die
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind 
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind

Talk It Out

All Mine

The songs on Things That I Confuse pretty much wrote themselves in a frenzy. Still, they sound more Spunsugar than ever. It's still as timeless and nostalgic as it is fresh. The four songs consist of two more poplike tracks and two that have kept the more noisy aggressive sound that has become a staple of the band. Now there's an added layer of an icy lo-fi feel. References to giallo films and Japanese movie monsters work to tell stories of close relationships, trauma and regret that keeps one up at night. Every second is though trough, there's no unnecessary fluff. Every note serves a purpose on this EP.

Spunsugar - Rodan

Stranger (for now)

Seventeen Going Under

Seventeen Going Under (Acoustic)

This is weird weather
This is the wettest dream
On the cold leather
In the first scene

Smoother than water baby
I see right through your skin
Veins a roadmap to
Where we haven’t been

I am the lighter fluid
I bring a bright spark
We are the fire starters
Silencing the dark

(...I fall apart inside…)
(...to bring you back to life…)
(...we will go farther still...)

These bones are steel baby
Heavy metal heart 
Enamel finish baby
Grinning in the dark

My insides fall to pieces
But we won’t break down
We have the surface baby
Lighting up the ground

(...I fall apart inside…)
(...to bring you back to life…)
(...we will go farther still...)

A-Trak always puts a unique, er, spin on things. The electronic music tastemaker, DJ hero and all-around cultural force kicks the summer off with the new single “Parallel Lines,” taking the feel-good vibes of last year’s “We All Fall Down” (over 10M streams) to even catchier new heights. With festival favorites Phantogram providing soaring vocals, A-Trak mixes guitar riffs with his signature, turntable-inspired production and peerless ear for beats. The end result is a lush, genre-defying jam ready to burrow into your brain for the next several months. Throw an umbrella in your drink and vibe on out…

Lyrics: 
There I go
There I am
A life of gold
How long I’ve been driving

Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You’d Make It Perfect

There I go
Life might get cold
A life of gold
Funny how things roll

Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You’d make it perfect

Fall into happiness
Wish you could be here
No more loneliness
You’d make it perfect

Everything is changing
Sorry I’ve been missing
Down a road I’ve left behind

Everything is clearer
Now I’m getting better
How could I have been so blind

Tell me if you know 
Losing time 
Back home 
Now I'm getting older 
If it's what you like 
Then I'll go 
I'm fine 

Do I crave it when I'm feeling low? 
All of this is what I thought 
Do you crave me when I've slowed? 
I'm all out 
The closest thing I've felt to whole 
My love 

In time you'll always wonder
Does it mean you'll never wish to come home 
Keep moving with the thunder 
These times are why we feel like we're close
Hiding in the shadows 
Does it feel like it did before 
Old times you've always had those 
When it spins put your feet on the floor 

Do I crave it when I'm feeling low? 
All of this is what I thought 
Do you crave me when I've slowed? 
I'm all out 
The closest thing I've felt to whole 
My love 

Crawling back to you 
Like I always do 
Falling back in to 
Like I always do

Let the light in on the front porch 
Woke up so late just to miss the sun 

Always seems like it's in motion 
All I could feel is the notion 
Of the times 
We've been coasting 
Our lives 

I'm not sure at all 
I'm running from your call 
I'm running from it all 

Through all of our devices 
It seems I tend to disappear 
Always seems like it's emotion 
All I could feel is the notion 
Of the times 
We've been coasting 
Our lives 

I'm not sure at all 
I'm running from your call 
Running from it all 
I feel so alone 
I'm running from your call 
I'm running from it all

I drew outside by the front porch last night
And you know why
I’m terrified 
And all the things you said fell by my side
You ask why
Preoccupied 

When it’s all said and done
You can change your mind
But something tells me we should be sharing the night
When it’s all said and done
You can read your lines
But something tells me we should be sharing this light 

Tried to figure out the way to feel this life
Don’t know why 
I just lay 
Worrying about the things you said in July
Keep on time 
Forgive my mind 

When it’s all said and done 
you can change your mind 
But all this tells me 
We should be sharing the night 
When it’s all said and done 
Rearrange the time
Something tells me we should be sharing this light

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the time
All I could say

----------------

Stumbled on a picture of you and your son
Weatherwomen within me were soon announcing the flood
Rewound the reel for another round 
We were then two polar bears just dancing alone

Five years lie somewhere I’ve never gone
Have you ever left like this? ‘Cause I have not
Shall I keep this farewell so finely worded?
Eloquent and the slightest bit perverted

Wish you well, smashing
I’ll be too
Wish you well, smashing
No more wondering

PS. Is this an
Ellipsis or full stop?
Ellipsis or full stop?
Ellipsis or full stop?
