Where Are We Going?

A track I recorded while in quarantine after being contact traced. Originally, I was going to start an entirely different project, but I lost interest. However, I still had this track, and I didn't want to waste it. That's when I figured I could release it as an Above Suburbia song to celebrate the five year anniversary of Shallow being released. So, here it is: the first new Above Suburbia song in around three years. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
She was an angel, until one night
She fell to the ground like a meteorite.
Now she’s here, and I’m hypnotized.
Captivated by her blazing eyes.
But despite all my fantasies,
She doesn’t even notice me.
I find myself alone again,
Hoping someday that the search will end.

I just hope that there’s someone out there for me (x2).

Running in circles all the time,
Slowly but surely losing my mind.
I try so hard, but never win.
I end up where I always begin.
I tell myself that it’s no big deal,
But pain is the only thing I feel.
One by one, they walk away.
I try to protest but have nothing to say.

I just hope that there’s someone out there for me (x2).

Someone Out There

This is the third demo from Sun Mask! Our fastest and loudest track yet. Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:
The sunsets and smokestacks.
The train cars on the tracks.
All the streetlights in the city
Could not replace what I lack.

In the city x4

All the marble and the concrete
From the harbor to the main street.
All the lights only blind me.
All the shadows I could not foresee.

In the city x4

You and I could’ve lived together,
We could have lived forever,
But I left you for the city
To chase I dream I can’t remember.
x2

In the city x4

The City [Demo]

Composed the majority of this track while on vacation in the Cayman Islands. Definitely a huge leap in production value from my previous works.

The vocal sample comes from the Feel Flows version of "Big Sur" by The Beach Boys (fantastic song btw, def check it out).

I'm back in the Big Beats Business.

disposable

Lyrics:
Young adult, you're growing up. 
You know that living is rough. 
Better look at what's ahead, 
Or you are better off dead. 

You live only once, that's true. 
Better find something to do. 
Get paid, have a family, 
But will these things make me happy? 

Time to put my doubt behind. 
Other things have filled my mind. 
Just get up, go with the flow. 
No more questions, it's time to go.

Young Adult

Lyrics:
I've made many decisions, 
I have many regrets, 
But following you would be 
A mistake I would never forget. 
You take me down the roads, 
The destination I'll never know. 
I'm surfing all these waves 
And now I'm caught in the undertow. 

I would love to go with you, 
But I just can't follow it's something I would never do (x2). 

Your ways are seductive, baby, 
But I must resist. 
I'm not the kind of person 
Who falls for a kiss. 
I've seen your midnight excursions, 
And I've heard what you've said, 
And I know if I followed you, 
I'd be better off dead. 

I would love to go with you, 
But I just can't follow it's something I would never do (x2).

I Can't Follow

Lyrics:
When I see you, I want to run and hide 
Because you make me sad every time. 
And I can't help but think of how I felt, 
And how I can't take the cards I'm dealt. 

But you're hanging with that guy, 
And it makes me wanna cry, 
And I can't take all the stress. 
Tell me why am I such a mess. 

I deleted your number from my phone 
Because I just want to be alone. 
But I still see you from day to day, 
And then I feel the exact same way. 

But you're hanging with that guy, 
And it makes me wanna cry, 
And I can't take all the stress. 
Tell me why am I such a mess. 

When I see you, I want to run and hide 
Because you make me sad every time. 
And I can't help but think of how I felt, 
And how I can't take the cards I'm dealt.

Every Time

Lyrics:
Swim along with me 
In the caverns of the sea. 
All the waves above our heads. 
All our problems they are dead. 
I buried my fears under the sand. 
They're drying out upon the land, 
And I feel so sure about it. 
You know I have no doubt about it.

Water

Lyrics:
I used to think that I knew everything. 
The world was my dominion, and of course I was the king. 
But as time goes on, I find I'm falling fast, 
And all the confidence I had is now part of the past. 

The sun sets on halcyon days, 
These turn into troubling nights 
And I'm not sure what I should do (x2). 

Back in those days, I had so many friends. 
There was so much fun to be had, and I though it would never end. 
But as I look to the future, I find myself somewhat scared. 
Because I've been so excited, I don't know if I'm prepared. 

The sun sets on halcyon days, 
These turn into troubling nights 
And I'm not sure what I should do (x2).

The Sun Sets On Halcyon Days

Here's a little remix I did of my friend Guppy's song "disposable." Check out more of his stuff on SoundCloud; his account is Point Baxter. Hope you like this song. More stuff coming soon

point baxter - disposable (suburban windows remix)

This is our first demo, which we recorded in order to show you what we sound like before we enter the studio. We are very proud of this song, and we hope you enjoy it! All support is greatly appreciated.

Lyrics:
Standing in the shimmering heat
Just like the day I met you at the beach
You were like a mirage, just floating in place.
The sun lit up the darkest corners of your face.
I smiled and laughed at everything you said,
But deep inside I was filled with dread.
Now I twist and turn in the spider’s web
That fills the space between my heart and my head.

Shiver in the pouring rain
As thoughts of you ran throughout my brain
The darkening clouds filled the summer sky,
And the rain came down like these tears I cried.
I twisted and turned at the end of your line.
I was really yours when I thought you were mine.
Woe to the fool who disregards the warning.
My sunshine love has turned into bitter mourning.

Standing in the shimmering heat
Just like the day I met you at the beach
You are like a mirage, just floating in place.
The sun lights up the darkest corners of your face.
But now I know who you really are.
You’re a blackhole as fiery as a star.
It might be hard, but I am turning away,
Avoiding the light that captivates my gaze.

Shimmering Heat [Demo]

The second demo from Sun Mask! This song has a bit of a faster tempo and features clearer vocals and a fuzz pedal in the chorus. Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:
Being baptized again.
Those are the words that are running through my head.
It's a new dimension
Without fear or apprehension.

Floating in bliss.
There’s no feeling that is quite like this.
A sweet caress
As I sink into the warm abyss.

Cast me...into the sea (x4).
