Lyrics:

[Verse 1 - Female Lead, Introspective]
The city's sleeping in a coded blue
A glass reflection on everything we knew
We built a signal, a pulse in the static light
But every structure starts to rust in the night
You trace the lines on this circuit board of trust
Knowing the logic will inevitably turn to dust.

[Pre-Chorus - Female Lead, Building Intensity]
The wires are exposed now, the feedback is too loud
We can't hide this feeling in the artificial crowd
The frequency is shifting, beyond our control...

[Chorus - HOOK - Female Lead & Male Harmony]
(Female Lead)
You can't hold the color, the signal bleeds out
(Male Low Harmony)
Signal bleeds out...
(Female Lead)
It's the core of the circuit, the neon decay
(Male Low Harmony)
Neon decay...
(Female Lead)
It's a beautiful fracture, there is no way out
(Male Low Harmony)
No way out...
(Female Lead)
It’s the core of the circuit, the neon decay.

[Verse 2 - Female Lead, Focus on Duo Dynamic]
We move like ghosts in the cinematic scene
Chasing the light that's forever in-between
We share a secret, a counter-pulse in the beat
A perfect rhythm built for slow, eventual defeat
I see the fault lines running under your skin
You knew the moment that the failure would begin.

[Pre-Chorus - Female Lead, Building Intensity]
The wires are exposed now, the feedback is too loud
We can't hide this feeling in the artificial crowd
The frequency is shifting, beyond our control...

[Chorus - HOOK - Female Lead & Male Harmony]
(Female Lead)
You can't hold the color, the signal bleeds out
(Male Low Harmony)
Signal bleeds out...
(Female Lead)
It's the core of the circuit, the neon decay
(Male Low Harmony)
Neon decay...
(Female Lead)
It's a beautiful fracture, there is no way out
(Male Low Harmony)
No way out...
(Female Lead)
It’s the core of the circuit, the neon decay.

[Bridge]
(Female Lead, Sparse)
Silence the metronome...
(Male Low Harmony, Distorted Whisper)
Let the pattern go...
(Female Lead, Sparse)
Watch the chromatic static...
(Male Low Harmony, Distorted Whisper)
It’s automatic...
(Female Lead, Slow and Haunting)
This is where the systems end.

[Chorus - Outro/Climax - Female Lead & Male Harmony]
(Female Lead)
You can't hold the color, the signal bleeds out
(Male Low Harmony)
Signal bleeds out...
(Female Lead)
It's the core of the circuit, the neon decay
(Male Low Harmony)
Neon decay...
(Female Lead)
It’s the core of the circuit, the neon decay!
(Male Low Harmony, Fading Echo)
Neon decay... decay...

Skriðdreki (Crawling Dragon) is the second track from 8 by Laxá & Heima Kvartett — an Icelandic post-rock ensemble known for fusing cinematic strings, dub reggae basslines, and atmospheric guitars.

Dedicated to bassist Bjarne Guðjohnsen, Skriðdreki opens with a driving bass line crawling beneath layers of fuzzed guitar and rhythmic drums. As the density lifts, Mike Taylor’s church organ and the Heima Kvartett’s strings rise through the haze, giving the piece a sense of both menace and release. The pacing shifts between weight and clarity — almost symphonic — capturing the feel of a classical structure within a modern post-rock frame.

“Till I’m Drunk & Confused” tells the story of someone trapped in a loop of regret — drinking to forget, but only finding the truth they’ve been avoiding. It’s a story about the moment when denial gives way to clarity, and the only person left to face is yourself. The lyrics walk that tightrope between self-awareness and self-destruction: “I’ll drink booze till I’m well past confused / It’s killing me that there’s just no use / You’re the one thing I had to lose to learn the truth about me.” The music stays bright and pulsing, almost defiant — an ironic counterpoint to the lyrics’ honesty. It’s heartbreak disguised as motion, confession wrapped in rhythm, self-reflection faces reality. Underneath the shine lies regret, loneliness, and hard-won self-awareness.

At its core, “Till I’m Drunk & Confused (So Lost Without You)” is a reflection on heartbreak, regret, and self-realization. The lyrics tell the story of someone who lost a relationship because of alcohol — and now uses that same alcohol to fill the silence.

Lines like
“I’ll drink booze till I’m well past confused”
and
“You’re the one thing I had to lose to learn the truth about me”
capture the emotional punch hiding beneath the track’s upbeat production. What makes it powerful isn’t the sadness — it’s the clarity that comes with it. The song dances its way through denial, self-blame, and eventual truth.

A bittersweet dance-floor confessional about losing someone, numbing the pain, and finally seeing yourself in the aftermath — ‘Till I’m Drunk & Confused’ turns heartbreak into motion.


'Till I'm Drunk & Confused

“Low Life” is a cinematic Icelandic post-rock composition where droning distorted guitar, choir textures, and the Heima String Kvartett merge into an overwhelming wall of sound. Within the density, delicate string melodies, church organ harmonies, and slow-moving atmospheric post rock dynamics create a piece that shifts from heavy and immersive to fragile and intimate.

Mike Taylor’s church organ anchors the track in a cathedral-like resonance, while the layered strings drift between modern classical minimalism and widescreen instrumental soundtrack music.
A powerful, textured work that captures the sound of volcanic landscapes, deep emotional pressure, and slow-burning eruption.

This is Icelandic post rock with strings, rooted in cinematic expression, drone guitar atmospheres, and a glacial sense of space.

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
