Grey Desolation
from The Dawn Chorus by Despite Everything
lyrics
The lights are always on
But we don’t see them
Till the sun goes down
We need to move on
Now the lights are off
But we're still here
No one sees us
Hold on, hold on my dear
For this is who we are
We are the wretched looking ones
For this is all we are.
Standing on ledges like crows
Mouths howling now we are latching on
Standing motionless and grey
Dead vows, speechless and vague.
For this is who we are
We are the wretched looking ones
For this is all we are.
But we don’t see them
Till the sun goes down
We need to move on
Now the lights are off
But we're still here
No one sees us
Hold on, hold on my dear
For this is who we are
We are the wretched looking ones
For this is all we are.
Standing on ledges like crows
Mouths howling now we are latching on
Standing motionless and grey
Dead vows, speechless and vague.
For this is who we are
We are the wretched looking ones
For this is all we are.

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic.

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸
