"In the Light" by Fragile Gods

Lyrics:

These are the days 
Of broken promises 
Talking so fast 
But nothing makes sense 

These are the days 
Of lost connections
Living on islands
With bridges burned

These are the days
Of falling slowly
Trying to hold on
But going down

These are the days
Of repetition
Where every day
Is just the same

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly


These are the days
Of pointless drudgery
Working so hard
But nothing achieved

These are the days
Of false prophets
Pushing superstitions 
And crooked schemes    

These are the days 
Of wildfires 
Polluting the air that we breathe

These are the days
Without a future
Heading straight towards catastrophe

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly

Scraping back the layers
Peeling back the years
Nothing else remains
Except for my fears

I don’t know you
But I need you
Where are you?
Where are you?

In the Light 
You are standing 
Glowing gently
Moving slowly

In the Light

Orthodox bastards

Lyrics:
Say goodbye my love
One more time
Last goodbye
Close your eyes my love
Treasured friend
Near the end
One last sigh
Still you lie
Pain end, dark begin
Bye my love
Say goodbye my love
Dearest friend
It’s the end
Pain end, dark begin
Bye my love
Say goodbye
Say goodbye


Dedicated to Ronnie and Sophie

Mark On the Table (Original Mix)

A euphoric deep house anthem built for the big stage. Back to Life surges from a soft, atmospheric opening into pounding four-on-the-floor energy — shimmering chords, soaring female vocals, and a drop that hits with pure festival power. Emotional yet explosive, this is the moment when the night turns unforgettable.

Back to Life

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.
