We drive
My car and I
A long way
And no one around
I feel a different taste of air
Blowing in through the open window
The sun is coming to the west line
And my thoughts are ready to start the chase
So I push the gas to the limit
And the world is changing resolution
You spin me around
You spin around
The faster I go
The faster I run
The faster they rush me
I can hear them howling through the engine
I feel the rhythm of the boogie from the bottom of hell
It's getting dark and the lights of the coast so far away
A noise from the back seat enters my t-shirt
Her fingers are cold and pinch as frost
Pricking like pins
Twist me like a bolt and nut
Where are my keys

The Snow Queen

If I found love in you
Bring it on
Bring it back
Let the moonlight touching you
Breathe it in
Breathe it out
Through the darkness of the night
Shivers down my spine
I'm lost in your eyes
Heaven knows how I tried
Here I am
On your way
Navigated by your breath
Every touch hits like a bomb
Tears the skin apart
I'm drowning in a sea
Full of the water spirits
I'm lost
I'm down
Breathing in
Breathing out
Now I'm frozen here
I get stuck in the castle of the Snow Queen
My eyes glued with ice
Heart shaped snow falls
On my soul
Leaving me out of control
Out of love

Sleep
03:11

You sleep like a baby
In a safe cocoon
You are in
With all of your senses turned off
Your eyes closed tight
This world is too heavy
You’re passing like a tear rolling down
You sleep like a baby
In a safe town
You are here
With all of your feelings stand by
Your soul locked down
Your thoughts on the wire
Hovering in the air around you
You sleep like a baby
Soft as a butterfly
Trembling like a water drop on an edge
And I don't know
How to wake you
And I don't know
Should I awake you
You’re dreaming your life away
Keeping the rhythm of life
From the screens
Let's slide away
Slide away

Downtown
04:18
|
|||
|
When the world falls into pieces
Put your breath inside of mine
Lay your head on my shoulder
The last place where you won't fall apart
Fear is deep, wide, and dark
As the sea under your feet
In a downtown
I gave you my word
Light will shine on your face
Go take the road my child
Hope is a star under the moon
Her light is as pale as my fingers
Holding tight your fragile hand
I scream and shout your name
Letters on newspapers, magazines
I cry out so loud
Nobody's weeping with me now
When the night is getting closer
When it’s giving shade
And moving like the ocean
Wave by wave
It’s taking last breath
Here's the place
Here's the moment
Grains of sand
Dead seed of life
Cry of the seagulls
Whispers of wave
The only sound
Flock of the birds
The body on the ocean shore
You gave us living hearts
But it’s still been stone since the thousand years

Hollow
04:10
|
|||
|
I'm like a dog
Lying near your silent feet
You sleep
No
I can't
I'll walk the street again
And tear the clouds apart
Penetrate the faces of the strangers
Listen to the noise of their laughs and talks
And swallow the years
One after the other
Never look back
Shouldn’t look back
I'm hollow
A hollow man
Hollow
I am like a boat
I sway on the water
Your sea is full of storms
I am guided by the winds,
Searching through the depths of the sea
Playing hide and seek with Neptune
Listening to the songs of the distant sirens
You shine like a star
I wish you fell for me
Your sky is not mine
Sweetness and salt
Wild storm and soundless breath
East and west
I walk this street again and again

Why do you boast of evil, oh mighty man
The brightness of the light endures all day
Your tongue devises destruction
Like a sharp razor you cut all you can see
You love evil more than good
But God will break you down forever
He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent
And uproot you from the land of the living
The righteous will see and fear,
And will laugh at him, saying:
"Here is the man who did not make God his refuge"
You love all words that devour,
And deceitful tongue.
In the abundance of the riches
So strong in evil desire

Despair was on my tongue
03:28
|
|||
|
Come and see
What it has done
Your absence, it lost our weak minds
Turned the sea into a dry land
We are thirsty for water
Come
Let us rejoice in you
He rules forever by his power
His eyes watch over the nations
Let not the rebellious rise up against You
Praise our Lord
Oh people
Don't let the sun go down
Go down
I cried out to him with my mouth
Despair was on my tongue
You refined us like silver
You brought us into prison
And laid burdens on our backs
You let them ride over our hearts
We went through the fire and the water,
But you brought us to a place
Where we can dance

My skin is made of gold
And my heart is black
I'm the part of something big
And something dark
Welcome traveller to the constellation of the dragon
I'm the beggar filled up with the jingling coins
My name’s three more zeros
I'm the line
I bind together all the strings of your life
Yeah I can count
And yes I know
Seconds flow fast as blood through your heart
Fun fun fun
There must be
Fun fun fun
I still miss it
I feel lack
Yeah you go round and round
Spiral down
Oh my
It's gonna be alright
It doesn’t matter if I have the Chinese eyes
Or Texan accent
Or skin of red
Or if my eyes are blue as planet earth
I appoint your paths
To the American dream or the Siberian curse

Half way
03:33
|
|||
|
Now I know
The distance is no longer scary
Tamed by the steps
It lets me look back
I'm half way through
Your ship is leaving
And the sea almost dried
It spit out the footprints
And left the songs
Which smell of you
In the roaring crowd
The world has not stopped
As well as the clocks
But now this place is full of weeping
You are hidden in a waggle dance
In a swirling swarm
I call what's unnamed and give it a shape
I calculate the theory of everything
I create the new alphabet of memories
Your ship has gone
Way out to the Sea

Staring at the sun
04:30
|

|
Staring at the sun
Look up what I found here
Every flower turns toward the light
Through a blind man's eyes
Staring at the firelight
I can't see its shape
But I can feel the heat
Staring at the sun
Look up what I found here
Everything dries up in the sunlight
The closer to the flame
The more it loses its shape
My eyes are open wide
But they see no more
Staring at the moon
Look up what I found here
My thoughts are fine - damn right - in the dark
Travelling by train to the other side of the moon
Without a ticket
And with no way back
All of my angels
Help me turn back wheel of history
And hear my calling
Running up the hill where you live
Hold on
Don't turn your face from me
Hold on
Staring at the sun

Flame
04:25
|
|||
|
Come flame
My eyes have seen your shape
Go through me
And leave your holy mark
Pull out your hand
In absolute darkness
Where every breath is gone
Staring at the emptiness
I sit here longing so
In this lonely place
In this awful mess
Come flame
Dancing on the wall
Delicate and so light
Will you call my name
Time and time again
In this awful place
In this quiet grave
I hear the movement of the stone
In this lonely place

It Will Come To You LP

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Cinematic-scale goth from Reflection Black with catchy melodies, dreamy synths, punchy rhythms, and a sense of timelessness.
