In the mirror 
I can see 
A reflection 
Looking back at me
He is more
Than he seems
Sometimes he
Smiles knowingly
Touch a mirror
Liquid silver
Feel my hands 
Passing through
I can see
What lies beyond
I step through
Into another world 

Distant voices calling
Phantoms pulling me in
It feels like I'm falling
Into another world
Distant voices calling (Lost in a dream)
Phantoms pulling me in (Lost in between)
It feels like I'm falling (Phantoms calling)
Into another world (Pulling me in)

I don’t know
Where I am
In this world
Of peculiar shadows 
Looking out
I see me
Standing there
Dazed and bewildered 
I am now
One of them
A phantom lost
And forsaken
To live here
Forever
Is the price
of stepping beyond 

Distant voices calling (Lost in a dream)
Phantoms pulling me in (Lost in between)
It feels like I'm falling (Phantoms calling)
Into another world (Pulling me in)

In the world behind the glass 
There’s no way to get back
Lost within silver light
Reversing day and night

Distant voices calling (Lost in a dream)
Phantoms pulling me in (Lost in between)
It feels like I'm falling (Phantoms calling)
Into another world (Pulling me in)

In the world behind the glass 
There’s no way to get back
Desperate cries phantoms roam 	
Forever trapped no way home

Another World

Fragile Gods, the New York-based dark synthpop project of Frederick Frantz, creates flowing retrosynth tunes with minimal, atmospheric arrangements and unique vocals often backed with rich female harmonies. Their music, sounding as if it came from a cassette from another era, evokes the sounds of classic synthpop and industrial bands. 

In 2023, Fragile Gods released their long-awaited full length album, "Dark Water." Meticulously crafted over four years, the album features a diverse range of tracks, from the danceable to the surreal. Throughout the album, Frantz's vocals are both emotive and haunting, delivering lyrics that explore dreams, longing, and alienation. 

In 2019, Fragile Gods returned with their second EP, "Cold Comfort," and a new approach. The poppier elements which were hinted at on the prior release were now more to the front. Frantz's vocals are more melodic and less distorted. However, not all the rough edges have been sanded off as witnessed by "Step Outside the Frame." 

The band's 2015 debut "The Future Never Came" was influenced by the likes of 80s EBM bands Nitzer Ebb and Cabaret Voltaire with occasional synthpop elements surfacing. 

Fragile Gods is a band that is constantly evolving, creating a retro-futuristic sound that is both unique and timeless.
