Love ... Sex 

Written and recorded in Berlin throughout 2024 and 2025, Love ... Sex is a deep dive into the shadowy elegance of the Phong sound. Built on shimmering synth textures, analog pulses, and sensual vocal lines, the album explores intimacy, longing, and the electric tension of urban nights.
Lucy’s haunting voice moves between vulnerability and seduction, threading through layers of warm pads, brooding basslines, and digital detachment. With echoes of New Wave, post-club ambience, and smooth retro-futuristic grooves, Love Sex feels both nostalgic and ahead of its time.
At its core lies a fascination with transhuman desire — the blurring of boundaries between emotion and circuitry, between memory and code. Much of the sonic architecture was sculpted using a rare PPG system, a Moog One, and the elusive Synergy II+, lending the album its distinctive, crystalline depth and synthetic soul.
For listeners of Phong, this is a cinematic experience — moody, immersive, and unmistakably emotional. The sound of city lights on rain-soaked glass. The sound of touch, memory, and machines dreaming.


You're so sensual

[Verse 1]
Late night, shadows in my room,
Voices creepin', tellin' lies, makin' moves
Demons whisper, they're so persuasive,
Fightin' myself, thoughts invasive.
I'm sinkin', deeper in the silence,
Waves crashin', inner violence,
Swear I'm drownin', but no one's seein',
Keep smilin', but inside, I'm bleedin'.

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to breathe slow, but it pulls me under,
Lost in my head, fightin' off the thunder.
Lights blur, vision gettin' hazy,
Fightin' off these thoughts, drivin' me crazy.

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna keep my head above water,
Hold on tight, 'cause the night's gettin' darker.
Tell myself it'll all be alright,
But I'm drownin' in my mind tonight.
Tryna keep my head above water,
Every breath, every minute gettin' harder.
Tell myself it'll be alright,
But these thoughts tryna take my life.

[Verse 2]
Echoes hauntin', playin' on repeat,
Broken memories beneath my feet,
Fake laughs in the crowded places,
Wearin' masks, can't show these faces.
Runnin', but there's nowhere to hide,
All the truth and the lies collide,
Fightin' wars inside my mind,
Searchin' for peace, but it’s hard to find.

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to breathe slow, but it pulls me under,
Lost in my head, fightin' off the thunder.
Lights blur, vision gettin' hazy,
Fightin' off these thoughts, drivin' me crazy.

[Chorus]
I'm just tryna keep my head above water,
Hold on tight, 'cause the night's gettin' darker.
Tell myself it'll all be alright,
But I'm drownin' in my mind tonight.
Tryna keep my head above water,
Every breath, every minute gettin' harder.
Tell myself it'll be alright,
But these thoughts tryna take my life.

[Bridge]
It's lonely here, beneath the surface,
Reachin' out, but I'm feelin' worthless.
Try to swim, but the tide is stronger,
Don't know how much I can hold on longer.

[Outro]
Tryna keep my head above water,
In too deep, but I'm still a fighter.
Tell myself, just one more night,
Prayin' that tomorrow brings the light.

Above Water

CITIZEN - LIGHT IT UP

When winning is the only thing, you already lost something.
A cinematic glitch-track about pressure, ego, and why the grind hits different when no one’s watching.

Life’s Just a Game

Antony & Cleopatra

I was promised a better life. But when I got to Mars, I was stripped of my rights.
