Synth-aesthetica: synth pop, indie electronic & other synthethic beauty

The debut song by Empathy Test, an electronic pop duo from London, UK. Originally released in February 2014 on the Losing Touch EP. Re-released as part of the Losing Touch LP in November 2017.

LYRICS:

Scared of losing touch
If I really mean that much
Why pretend that you love him?
Don't call me out the blue
When it's clear that I still do
And you know he knows it too.
Going home alone
The only love I've known
It's always been you.
It’s always been you.
 
Tell me it's not real
Tell me he doesn't make you feel
The way I made you feel.
If you care for me at all
You'll hang up when I call
You'll clear me space to fall.
If you give I will receive 
And despite what they believe
It's always been you.
It's always been you.
 
It’s always been you.
 
When you're feeling alone
And you're colder than stone
Call me you know...
It's always been you.

LYRICS:

She sings me the saddest of songs
I cannot help but sing along
Forever after in my head.

There’ll be no stopping once she starts
The eternal burden of the queen of my heart
I want to be free, but can't let go.

She doesn't really know why...

I feel so tired I could die
Leave my window open wide
Let my spirit feel the night.

Now I have nothing more to say
I said too much now anyway
Lead me out into the night

The last night on earth...

And it’s you -
Running rivers through me
It's like you always knew me
From the moment of my birth
You'll be the death of me.

It’s you -
Running rivers through me
It's like you always knew me
From the moment of my birth
You'll be the death of me.

And now I have nothing more to say
I said too much now anyway
Lead me out into the night.

Last Night On Earth

Imagine the magnetic energy of something very early Madonna-like, layered with the cool, moody synth textures of ICEHOUSE. Now add in that crisp, modern edge of artists like CHVRCHES, La Roux, or Allie X – and you get… HLINS ^-^

... but, honestly, my + Rainer's (UAP) How Loud Is No Sound is REALLY catchy, REALLY vibey, and REALLY synthy. We had so much fun with this one, and the video was probably the hardest to put together we've ever done!! (didn't really expect that before we started). I really hope you’ll like it. Be warned, though – you might find yourself humming it for the rest of the week ;-)

Lyrics:

I wish I could be silent
Without screaming loud
The arms folded down, violence
I could do without

No advice, no asking
Nothing I can fault
The ghosts hidden in my skin
I may have been wronged

But if there is no breathing
But if we keep on keeping
And if I cease all grieving
How loud is no sound?

If I breathe in what you’ve said
If I scream until I’m dead
If I climb into your head
How loud is no sound? 

I wished I could be myself
Then I couldn’t stop
Up in arms, a giant
Lost in tiny drops

But if there is no breathing
But if we keep on keeping
And if I cease all grieving
How loud is no sound?

If I breathe in what you’ve said
If I scream until I’m dead
If I climb into your head
How loud is no sound? 

No advice, no asking

The ghosts hidden in my skin

Maybe there is no breathing
Maybe we keep on cheating
But if we cease all grieving
How loud is no sound?

Try breathing in what you’ve said
Keep screaming after I’m dead
I will climb into your head

But if there is no breathing

And if I cease all grieving
How loud is no sound?

How Loud Is No Sound

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I’m wretched when
The fomo hits
I don't wanna stand there looking out of the window, but 
I don't wanna stick out when everybody here, fits in

Approachable
Disposables
I don’t wanna go if I don't know there's an exit
I don’t wanna go if there’s no way to get out but then

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out or no-one else does
Who cares?

I’m all out of
Neglectful of
Voices thoughts opinions and hanging around with them
I don't want to start something if we’ll just fall out again

The messenger 
Speaks semaphore
All I’m doing, is trying to, let someone know, that I
I don’t hold a grudge, but I know, I’m not meant to be out

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

Who even cares?

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

Is This Ready?

Is this ready?
It already is.

I’ve a fever, burning, tearing me apart
I can feel the beating of my external heart
I am floating, floating overhead
I am fever burning, burning up.

I am creeping, seething, flowing from the walls
I am angel, demon, owner of it all
I am darkness, lightness and in between
I am fever burning between the sheets.
