lyrics

what waits on the other side of silence
when all expectations die?
nihilistic smash up
metal on the concrete
lifeless embalment
of life's collected works
depress me
depress me
who waits on the other side of violence?
this harm no one wants to touch
nihilistic smash up
head upon the concrete
no looking back to heroes
or life's most precious works
depress me (you, you)
depress me (you, you)

Sine
by RoBERT

Quirky melodic 1993 electronic pop from France. I love the adventurous atmosphere in the music & the breathy crystalline vocals of RoBERT. A blend of infectious alt electropop with esoteric influences Alien Skin
