The Truth

So here we are again
Right at the place we started
No better than we parted
Does it feel that way to you?
And I know that this isn't easy
It's difficult for me too
The things that you put me through
I'm just as guilty
Forgive for me being so bold
But I think you need to be told the truth
It needs to be said, and you need to hear it from me
And so it goes again
Everything's lying shattered
Broken, torn and battered
It doesn't concern me at all
And I know it hasn't been easy
When I do the things that I do
But I'm no worse than you
I guess we're even
Forgive for me being so bold
But I think you need to told the truth
It needs to be said, and you need to hear it from me
Forgive for me being so bold
But I think you need to be told the truth
It needs to be said, and you need to hear it from me
Forgive for me being so bold
But I think you need to be told the truth
It needs to be said, and you need to hear it from me

Last chance to make your impression
If you want in, you've got to have something to show
So what's the point if you're left with nothing?
You think you've got it, but then again what do you know?
It's a riot, laughing in the face of everything you've known since you were half your age, but you
You could've been somebody else
A message to you (could've been somebody else)
From out of the blue (would've been somebody else)
That maybe you should've been somebody else
So what's left now?
Do you think that you're gonna fix it somehow?
Will you do the right thing this time?
But if you think that life will just be handed to you on a silver plate
You're mistaken, it doesn't happen that way.
A message to you (could've been somebody else)
A line coming through (would've been somebody else)
That maybe you should've been somebody else
A message to you (could've been somebody else)
From out of the blue (would've been somebody else)
That maybe you should've been somebody else
A message to you (could've been somebody else)
A line coming through (would've been somebody else)
That maybe you should've been somebody else

Insufflation Motivation

Insufflation motivation
White lightening fast for a new sensation
Inhibition, your poor decision
Loading up like a soldier going on a mission
Remember honey, you spent all your money
On a few bags of don't know, feeling funny
Insufflation motivation
Full speed (it's driving, it's driving)
Feeling like a star (it's high and reviving)
Like it's all you need (you want it, you got it)
Don't take it too far (not until you've lost it)
Insufflation motivation
Tuning out with a purpose, change the station
Inhibition, your poor decision
Soon you'll be the subject of your own derision
Remember honey, you spent all your money
On a few bags of shaky hands, nose is runny
Insufflation motivation
Full speed (it's driving, it's driving)
Feeling like a star (it's high and reviving)
Like it's all you need (you want it, you got it)
Don't take it too far (not until you've lost it)
And it snows
And it flows
And it blows
And it goes
Full speed (it's driving, it's driving)
Feeling like a star (it's high and reviving)
Like it's all you need (you want it, you got it)
Don't take it too far (not until you've lost it)
Full speed (it's driving, it's driving) (Insufflation motivation)
Feeling like a star (it's high and reviving) (Insufflation motivation)
Like it's all you need (you want it, you got it) (Insufflation motivation)
Don't take it too far (not until you've lost it) (Insufflation motivation)

For the Money
02:43
|
|
||
|
You're only in it for the money
You're only in it for the fame
You're all about the recognition
You only care if there's a gain
Are you starved for attention?
Were you ignored when you were young?
You're only in it for the money
Selling yourself to everyone
You're only in it for the money
You don't care
You'd sell out anyone you hold dear
Is it enough? Have you had enough?
You've never had enough
You're only in it for the money
Decency's your last concern
Quality is unimportant
You only notice what you earn
I could even say that you're a rip-off
Originality's not your forte
But it's not apparent, you pull off transparent
Well enough for them, not me
I know you're in it for the money
You don't care
You'd sell out anyone you hold dear
Is it enough? Have you had enough?
You've never had enough
You're only in it for the money
And in the end, what will it get you?
In the end, integrity's a virtue.
You're only in it for the money
You don't care
You'd sell out anyone you hold dear
Is it enough? Have you had enough?
You've never had enough
You're only in it for the money
You don't care
You'd sell out anyone you hold dear
Is it enough? Have you had enough?
You've never had enough
You've never had enough

Run

Dreamer child
On a dark dirt road, heaven knows where it goes
It's been a while
Got an X on your back from this life that you chose
Light a cigarette
In this dark cold night it's your only friend
You'd better stand your ground
You know the fighting only stops when you bring it to an end
Run to the light
It's a big bad world you're your only protection
Set fire to the night
And run as fast as you can in the other direction
People screaming
In a little ghost town on the edge of nowhere
Tears keep streaming
You can't stop running, find the end of this nightmare
Light a cigarette
In this dark cold night it's your only friend
You'd better stand your ground
You know the fighting only stops when you bring it to an end
Run to the light
It's a big bad world you're your only protection
Set fire to the night
And run as fast as you can in the other direction

Wanting
01:55
|
|

I see the way you look at me
I see the lust in your eyes
I think I feel the same way
But let me clarify
I think you know I want you
I know you want me too
Let's not get sentimental
That's all I ask of you
For the moment I'm enchanted
But I'm distracted easily
You can have me for the moment
Don't get attached to me
I think you know I want you
I know you want me too
Let's not get sentimental
That's all I ask of you
You and I
Slaves to wanting
You and I
Slaves to wanting
We can't deny
Slaves to wanting
You and I
Slaves to wanting
I think you know I want you
I know you want me too
Let's not get sentimental
That's all I ask of you
I think you know I want you
I know you want me too
Let's not get sentimental
That's all I ask of you

When the End
04:05
|
|
||
|
It's a shadow coming
There's no sense running, you won't
Outrun
You can't
Make your peace love
Ask guidance above, for you
For when
It's come
But when the end
I find deliverance
Cold and bereft
It's always there
And to defend
My own repentance
Across the veil
I can't see where
Ash to ashes
Dust to dust, us all
Where we
Will lay
Light a candle
Say a prayer, for you
For us
Today
But when the end
I find deliverance
Cold and bereft
It's always there
And to defend
My own repentance
Across the veil
I can't see where
And we're equal in the end
No matter enemy nor friend
None of us exempt
When the end
Time is all we live for
Time is all we run from
Time runs out before us
It's done
But when the end
I find deliverance
Cold and bereft
It's always there
And to defend
My own repentance
Across the veil
I can't see where
But when the end
We find deliverance
This mortal coil
It's always there
And to defend
Our own repentance
Into the dark
We won't see where
But when the end

Pass
02:42
|
|

|
Everywhere you go, the people you know
You think you know them well
See them on the street, staring down at their feet
As if you couldn't tell
The post-man says "good day"
If only he'd go away
And if you cared, you'd be crass
But he's left, so you pass
You know it's all the same.
See a little girl, not a care in the world
She gives you a smile
The people on the road, oh where do they go?
You haven't left in a while
The paper's out today
With nothing nice to say
About politics, and gas,
And war but you pass
You know it's all the same.
Everywhere you go, the people you know
You don't know them all
See them on the street, staring down at their feet
They've never seemed so small
A new postman says "good day"
The old one's gone away
And if you cared, you would ask
Where he's gone, but you pass
You know it's all the same.
Every day it's the same
In the end it will pass
Every day it's the same
In the end it will pass
Every day it's the same
In the end it will pass
Every day it's the same
In the end it will pass

One More Reason
02:38
|
|

|
So here we are
Another night together
So far apart.
You've got this way
Of making me feel
So out of place.
Everytime I walk around
Feeling helpless staring at the ground
But I know I gotta move on
Time to get myself together
Cause you're wrong
And I feel stronger than before
And if you give me one more reason
I'll be walking out the door.
Oh, no
Give me just one more reason
I'm out the door.
Oh please, just don't
Ask me to forgive you
Because I won't.
You've had far too many chances
Too many second glances
You should know by now.
Everytime I walk around
Feeling helpless staring at the ground
But I know I gotta move on
Time to get myself together
Cause you're wrong
And I feel stronger than before
And if you give me one more reason
I'll be walking out the door.
Oh, no
Give me just one more reason
I'm out the door.
Everytime I walk around
Feeling helpless staring at the ground
But I know I gotta move on
Time to get myself together
Cause you're wrong
And I feel stronger than before
And if you give me one more reason
I'll be walking out the door.
Everytime I walk around
Feeling helpless staring at the ground
But I know I gotta move on
Time to get myself together
Cause you're wrong
And I feel stronger than before
And if you give me one more reason
I'll be walking out the door.

Maybe it was overconfidence
Perhaps a disregard for consequence
But if it's done forever
Guess it's now or never
Everything I've wanted to say
I'm thinking maybe it's better this way
And now there's nothing left to say
I think we're better off this way
And in the end we'll be okay
I think we're better off this way
I apologize for my own end, but I don't
expect for us to make amends
So before you forget me
I hope that you'll let me
Say the things I've wanted to say
I'm thinking maybe it's better this way
And now there's nothing left to say
I think we're better off this way
And in the end we'll be okay
I think we're better off this way
So if it's done forever
Guess it's now or never
Everything I've wanted to say
I'm thinking maybe it's better this way
And now there's nothing left to say
I think we're better off this way
And in the end we'll be okay
I think we're better off this way
And now there's nothing left to say
I think we're better off this way
And in the end we'll be okay
I think we're better off this way
And now there's nothing left to say
I think we're better off this way
And in the end we'll be okay
I think we're better off this way

Parties With Tina
02:38

That girl, that girl
She's a rebel
She don't, she don't, she don't care
That girl
She's dancing on the table
She's no, she's no, she's nowhere
She's something
If you've ever seen her
She parties with Tina
She's out of her head
She's spinning
Like a ballerina
She parties with Tina
And soon she'll be dead
That girl, that girl
Strangers enjoy her
She's a walking chemistry set
She's Nadja
She is a destroyer
She's a dosage wrapped in torn-up fishnets
She's something
If you've ever seen her
She parties with Tina
She's out of her head
She's spinning
Like a ballerina
She parties with Tina
And soon she'll be dead
That girl, that girl
She's unstable
She's no, she's no, she's nowhere
That girl
She's falling off the table
She don't, she don't, she don't care
She's something
If you've ever seen her
She parties with Tina
She's out of her head
She's spinning
Like a ballerina
She parties with Tina
And soon she'll be dead
Surrounded
By chemical diamonds
And dusty white islands
She's over her head
She's falling
She's failing to thrive and
She's barely alive and
She's gonna be dead

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.

Situationist coldwave from France that is deliciously icy, high-drama vampire vocals colliding with icy synth & guitar.

Stunning album and artist. Dark love. The best dark vibes in genre. I prefer the first works because they are darker than the last. We're waiting for her come back. Get well soon.
