Lyrics:

Look into my, look into my eyes.
And when you see in, and when you see inside—
hey, the shadow’s rising, alive.
Whoa, the shadow’s rising, to the edges of the light.

Shine on into the sun, into the,
shine on into the sun.

Look right through my, look right through my guise.
Don’t you agree that, don’t you agree I shine?
Hey, the nighttime seizes my life.
Whoa, the dark diseases will go bursting in the bright.

Shine on into the sun, into the,
shine on into the sun.

Into The Sun

오랫동안 친했던 녹슨 칼이야
실수 없이 모른척 하고 있어도
자기 옆에 숨만셔도 what did you just do to me?
언제까지 놀리던 녹슨 칼 일까

Ahh
녹슨 칼이야

여태까지 몰랐던 목숨 놀이야
오랫동안 친했던 미친 인간이야
자기 옆에 기다리면, 때가 무든 주름이
피곤하고 배고픈 녹슨 칼 이야

녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼
녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼

녹슨 칼이야

녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼
녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼
녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼
녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼, 녹슨 칼

녹슨 칼 이야

“무당 / Mudang”

A mudang is a Korean shaman who practices the art of mu. Traditionally, they are future tellers and spiritual healers. This song tells a story about a mudang who is able to see into the futures of other people and heal them, yet are unable to use this ability to help themselves. A seer who cannot see. A healer who is self sabotaging. A blind prophet descending into madness. This song is the core of our new k-goth EP called “Premonitions” slated to be released on December Friday the 13th. It is metaphorical to the dread of knowing. The dread of paralyzing sadness. The dread of being witness to a dystopian future unfolding before our eyes. Pre-save it on Spotify. Pre-order it on Bandcamp. December Friday the 13th.

The cover art is drawn by our wonderful synth player and artist æther. It was inspired by the Korean bujeok (a talisman that shamans use to ward evil spirits away) and the three headed pigeon that , in Korean myth, symbolizes calamity.

lyrics:

무당 (Mudang), I feel so insecure 
무당 (Mudang), away from the sun 
무당 (Mudang), I wanna disappear
무당 (Mudang), 생각없는 (thoughtless one)

You told me that you’ve visioned the fate of everyone you’ve crossed 
And now you’ve gone insane, from words, you repeat into the lost 

일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 다가와
(The eclipse is coming)

무당 (Mudang), now I’ve lost control 
무당 (Mudang), I’m going to drown
무당 (Mudang) I don’t want be alone
무당 (Mudang), 내 버려진 마음 (My abandoned heart)

You held your judgement like a knife but now you’re cutting a kiss   
Your futures come and gone again still you’re moving your lips. 

일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요 
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 가까워요  
(The eclipse is close)
일식이 다가와
(The eclipse is coming)

무당 / Mudang

dedicated to palestine 

꿈 속에도, somethings amiss between the cracks
숨 막히면, a stranger dwelling in the back 
날 죽이면, my pale hands reaches out the black 
날 살려 줘, our crying eyes and bloody sands. 

Cuts like a blade, the shame, the pain of you looking away. 
Nowhere to hide, or sleep, tonight you’ll be so wide awake

So how can we wait? 
So hard to find you 
Theyll blot out the light
Someone to hide you 
You can’t define 

내 사랑 귀신이 언제 보일까? 
꿈 속에 돌리며, 웃음 나오냐?? 
어디 가도, 귀신, 그림자 같애 
달처럼 내 사랑, 귀신 나온다

Why are you looking away 
A city at night, waiting to die, waning away 
A city a night, the look in your eyes how many lives, how many lives

귀신 / Gwisin

lyrics: 

사실을 알고나니 (Now that you know the truth), isn’t it strange?

좋아하던 사람도 (Even the person you once liked…), feeling it fade

약속했던 사람이 사라지기 원해 (You wish the person who made the  promise to disappear) 

Since you were the one who chose this, 그렇겠지 (of course you feel that way)

눈을 감고 사람들 갖고 노니?
(Are you playing with people with your eyes closed?)

거울 inside 한번도 본적 없지?
(You’ve never once looked inside the mirror haven’t you?) 

잘 봐
(Look close) 

Bridge—

The life that you envisioned took us back to the start  

Chorus——

Your delusional mind 

사랑 없는 (Loveless) July 

지나가는 (Passing) goodbyes

At the edge of your knife 

Verse 2—-

수갑 채운 내 자유 (My handcuffed freedom), pleasure of wrists. 

가족들도 괴롭혀 (Even harassing my family), your hearts in abyss 

생각하지 말라고, 계속 말했는데, 는데 
(Though you always said, Don’t think about it) 

Now that things have changed 너도 느껴지지? (you feel it too) 

너도 숨이 막히지? 괜찮겠어? 
(You can’t breathe either, it should be fine right?) 

이제 너무 늦었어, 돌아가지 못해… 
(It’s too late, you can’t turn around) 

Bridge—-

(We’re counting your incisions and we’re stitching them back) 


Chorus——

Your delusional mind 

사랑 없는 (Loveless) July 

지나가는 (Passing) goodbyes

At the edge of your knife 

Outro——

At the edge of your knife x4

약속 / Yaksok

Shadow Queen (Slowed)

💔✅ Track Description

So you thought love was eternal?
LOL. This song is here to kindly — and musically — push you off that delusional cloud and into the nearest public fountain.

This jangle-pop-indie-rock-post-punk chimera tells the timeless tale of someone who desperately wants…
less. Much less.
Personal space? Essential.
Eye contact? No thank you.
Hand-holding? Not without gloves and maybe a restraining order.

We’re talking cloudy futures, exhausted dreams, and enough passive-aggressive emotional honesty to power an entire IKEA lighting department.

If you’ve ever wanted a song that says:

“It’s not me… it’s definitely you.”

…then congratulations, this is your new national anthem.

Best enjoyed while:

Deleting old couple selfies

Returning their hoodie and stealing their shampoo

Staring into the void and whispering “I don’t adore you”

Dancing alone like a confused flamingo at a Cure afterparty

Guitars sparkle, bass lines sigh, drums mutter “I told you so.”
It’s romantic rejection wrapped in a sweet jangly melody — like being slapped in the face with a bouquet of daisies that cost €3.49 at Lidl.

Turn it up.
And remember:
Everything will change my love for you.
(Especially if someone hotter shows up.)

Enjoy 🌹🚪➡️

Lyrics:

If I had to live my life with you beside me
My days would feel so crowded
The nights would drag along
With you, no future ever looks so cloudy
I might have liked someone before
But never felt this weak

Our dreams are tired and we both know
They’ll take us where we never hoped
Don’t hold me now, don’t touch me now
I’d rather live my life without you

Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll always want much more than your love
Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
The world may shift my whole life through
And everything will change my love for you

If the road ahead is far too simple
Your heart won’t lead the way for us
No guiding star
I won’t be there for you if you should need me
You’ll have to change it all
I don’t like you the way you are

Don’t come with me, don’t share the view
I won’t help you see forever too
Don’t hold me now, don’t touch me now
I’d rather live my life without you

Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll always want much more than your love
Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
The world may shift my whole life through
And everything will change my love for you

Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll always want much more than your love

Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll always want much more than your love
Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
The world may shift my whole life through
And everything will change my love for you

Everything will change my love for you
You should’ve known by now I don’t adore you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll always want much more than your love
Everything will change my love for you
