Guardian Of Liberty

I'm young, I'm young and I'm still gonna die
Going through my phone hoping that I'm still gonna find
A reason to exist inside my own mind
Cause of those in the sand, I'm still in their debt

Oh I was thinking ahead
I was thinking I’d share
I’ll never do it again
Oh I’d never go back 
I’ve already lived it through 
And now it’s hard to forget 
And now I’m starting to heal 
As I look up at all the skies 
The clouds tell me to forgive 
It never was your fault 
They kept repeating to me  
All you were was a kid
You have to learn to forgive
You have to learn to forgive
There’s more to life than this

Why do I try
To tell myself
That this is fine
It isn’t fine
Guess I’m used to
Troubled minds
You don’t care
And neither do I
I'm not surprised, I’m not surprised
Here I am, back in time
Picking up the pieces you left behind
Cause who am I, who am I
If not the lover willing to try
I’m sick of my mind
I'm sick of my mind
Getting high, forgetting time
We’re way too young
We love and hide
(We love and we hide)

I'm young, I'm young and I'm still gonna die
Going through my phone hoping that I'm still gonna find
A reason to exist inside my own mind
Cause of those in the sand, I'm still in their debt

(Losing my will)
(Losing my chords)
I've been thinking a lot of the choices I've made  
Cause everyday just feels the same
Troubled minds, tear each other apart
To forgive, there's more to life than this
Troubled minds, tear each other apart
To forgive, there's more to life than this

A GOODNIGHT STOKER Story

This song was originally written for the album but I never quite finished it in time so I had to hold it back. With the album out I finally managed to get it together and really wanted to push it out to finally finish the STOKER story. thank u :))

lyrics:
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

I think we've seen too much 
And when we talk it's like another loss
So dark and it's hard to find you 
We can't seem to find a way through 
And I wish that it was different 
Lies don't know how to spin them 
Loud it's so loud
I'm breaking down
You'll come around 

Caught up in your web spinning 
I don't wanna get it 
Cursed with the gift of sight 
Don't wanna hear it 
Children are wicked 
And the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out 
I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you
 
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

Don't wanna be another victim to religion 
We've held too many hands to just listen 
I don't wanna see I don't wanna speak 
I don't wanna see not even a peak 

Take my body take my bones 
Take the blood out of my nose 
Take my soul and everything that is crumbling 
Yeah
I keep asking what you know but it's clear that you don't 
I've got concussions from fumbling 
Oh my god what's wrong with me 
Yeah I asked for this but I can't be seen 
With this dry mouth red eyed silicon face 
And this new devil singing in my ear 
There's no space for me to breathe me to grieve 
Wanna bleed on this track 
Take my eyes I'll be fine 
Please just never give 'em back

Children are wicked and the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you

Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

Don't wanna be another victim to religion 
We've held too many hands to just listen 
I don't wanna see I don't wanna speak 
I don't wanna see not even a peak 
Caught up in your web spinning 
I don't wanna get it 
Cursed with the gift of sight 
Don't wanna hear it 
Children are wicked 
And the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out 
I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you

Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
(Victim)
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
(To you)

Ay 
Be your victim 
(To you)
Ugh Ugh 

Take my body take my bones 
Take the blood out of my nose 
Take my soul and everything that is crumbling 
Yeah
I keep asking what you know but it's clear that you don't 
I've got concussions from fumbling

Lyrics:

Sweet silver moon,
I was born to gaze at you. 
All the way up there, 
are you lonely too?

Sweet silver moon, 
I’m reaching you soon. 
Somehow
I’ll get
to you.

Oh, holy pearl,
I know somewhere in the world
there’s your human incarnation waiting for me to find her.

Our eyes would meet, 
our hands would touch, 
I’d spin you round, 
we’d kick stardust about 
like this...

To the blackest
depths of space,
every corner becomes lightened by your face. 
My eyes widen
as we dance,
I have realized there’s an angel in my arms. 
No, “angel” is not the word,
no words will work.
Your name would.

But I still don’t know it.

Oh, my insides are fluttering, 
what if she’s the one
to replace the one I miss- 
-mistook for the one? 
I’m tapping my feet, 
checking the clock,
on a
blind date, 
couple hours ‘til prom...

Eyes Ever Skyward

“The White Wall” is the fourth single to be released from Sydney indie rock three-piece Crystal Cities forthcoming third LP, I Should Have Known That This Was War. 

The single is the group’s most hard-hitting and assertive track in a while. While the band’s iconic reverb-drenched dreamscapes are still present, the more energetic and aggressive performances from each member on this track don’t go unnoticed. 

“The White Wall” captures the listener’s attention immediately with its stark intro; a thunderous drum groove with only vocals to accompany it. Geoff Rana’s lyrics are biting: “My God, I can’t believe it, that you have fallen for this now. The lights are barely flicking, but you can’t wait to put them out.” 


The guitar and bass tightly interweave with one another in the verses to create a kind of claustrophobic tension, before the song finally opens up into an ocean of guitar ambience with Rana asking the listener, “Did I tell you about the time? Yeah, behind the white wall.”

“‘The white wall’ is a term I read about, regarding the illusion of reality, where behind the white wall lies the truth about our existence. I related this concept to my experience during the Covid lockdowns and the psychological warfare I found myself in during this time; unable to reach for any kind of solid truth within the fog of mass hysteria…”
⁣- Geoff Rana (vocals/guitar/keys)


Lead vocalist and guitarist/keyboardist Geoff Rana has been spending days on end in his self-made studio where he’s been writing, producing and engineering the band’s latest material.

While the band’s previous effort - their sophomore album Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight - was an exercise in hard-hitting alternative rock that could rattle a live audience, the band’s third LP, I Should Have Known That This Was War, feels more explorative and colourful (at least from the three singles released from the band thus far:“Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”“I Should Have Known That This Was War”, and “The Strangest Dream”). 

This new album also marks the departure of previous drummer Daniel Conte and the arrival of new drummer Neel Shukla. Neel, Geoff and Jared have a long-standing relationship that spans all the way back to when they all studied Contemporary Music Performance together at The Australian Institute of Music in Sydney.

Long-time Crystal Cities collaborator Paul Lani (David Bowie, Prince) was once again tapped to handle mixing and mastering duties for the recording.

Since the band’s formation in 2016 they have released a highly praised EP - Who’s Gonna Save Us Now (2017) - and two critically acclaimed albums - Under The Cold Light of the Moon (2019) and Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight (2021). There is no scheduled release date for the band’s forthcoming third album.

I Should Have Known That This Was War

The White Wall

I'm standing right in front of you 
but you always see right through me 
and it hurts, so much more than I thought it would 
and I hate that you won't even look at me
throw myself on the platter
but you're never there to eat
I'm the lint in your laundry 
the change in your jeans 
and all I really want is you to notice me
I'm looking back in the mirror (I'm looking back in the mirror)
who'd wanna be with me?
and I hate every piece of me 
so tell me would you even notice me?
alone again alone again
alone again alone again
