SW035 // Brodka & Scottibrains - Wrong Party

Lyrics:
There we go, the silent night embraces
Like an old friend, familiar and kind
But with every breath another light dissolves the harmony of heartache
Then suddenly the shadows of the room are filling up your mind

But don’t you let them in
Cause even though a little sorrow can liberate us all
You shouldn’t let them win
We’ll find a way how you can brighten the dark days after all

A crowded room, but in your head you’re lonely
And a choir of thoughts distorts into white noise

But don’t you let them in
Cause even though a little sorrow can liberate us all
You shouldn’t let them win
We’ll find a way how you can brighten the dark days after all

You never notice at all, the love you’re surrounded with
The loneliness won’t fade

Emotion feat. Wild Nothing

The meaning behind this song is something I've chosen to remain a mystery. Being a music artist in 2021, we’re encouraged to share every little detail about our lives with our audience. While this has opened up many opportunities for artists to have unique and personal interactions with fans - something which we encourage and take full advantage of in Crystal Cities - there are some things that perhaps should be kept to ourselves in order to set boundaries and protect and respect the privacy of other people... In this instance, I want the context of this song to be left up to the listener’s own interpretation.

The truth was sold
That's where the trail goes cold
My shoulders shudder at the thought 
Of puffing my chest out as I walk home alone 
Under the arches, there’s this bloke 
With car boot full of stolen phones, knock off cologne and mink carcasses

Near mint condition from Selfridges mate  
I see arsonists with business rates etched on the back of empty match boxes
Police officers getting their truncheons polished off in the bushes
Wondering what all the fuss is about And what I’m looking at

But If looks could kill,  
My vacant gaze wouldn’t even pierce the skin
I’m not lazy, ambition is just something I have no interest in
At least when I meet my maker, I’ll embrace my mistakes
As I descend to the bowels of hell with a shit eating grin on my face

Dark days
It’s a never ending cycle of abuse
Dark days
I have the blues and I can’t shake them loose

I was skeptic due to how the media had depicted ya
Though getting to know you better
We clicked and so we stuck together
Turning the corner of the burning cenotaph 
Those coppers clocked us 
Stopped us and shook us up and down 
With no grounds to and no due process
They started discussing 
whether to let us off for doing nothing 
Or maybe pop us just for ‘looking like’
We might be hiding something
But then the Radio buzzed in, 
‘they caught carboot man with the lot’
Thank fuck I bought you enough time
Not to get shot.

dark days
It’s a never ending cycle of abuse
I had the blues I can’t shake them loose

My best ideas are borrowed, but they’re never half baked
They’re hard to swallow, Hey! Life’s an acquired taste
And if you wanna climb the ladder of success in this world
Take my advice and reinvent the reel completely, believe me

It’s London

Lyrics:
Who stole the sun
Who hides the skyline
Who won't believe in fate
Who rules the weather child

Naked in the rain
And you shine on shine on

Who celebrates
In the cloudy sunrise
Who envies your days
Who rules the weather child

Naked in the rain
And you shine on shine on
