i want a way out of here
spin all my records
lying on my stomach
dreaming i'm Bowie again
i want my future back again
render my vision
smash down the prison
that i confined my head in
and i hated you and i hated me
there's nothing new under the sun
i hated everything
i want the breath i have lost
choking inside me
the disembodied self me
struggling for what's evaded me
and i hated you and i hated me
there's nothing new under the sun
i hated everything
am i nihilistic and who cares
am i nihilistic and who cares
am i nihilistic and who cares
am i nihilistic and who cares
and i hated you and i hated me too
there's nothing new under the sun
i hated everything and i hated everything
am i nihilistic and who cares
am i nihilistic and who cares
am i nihilistic and who cares

she likes to regale in black
she likes to talk with him
and though he's been gone so long
his face has long been gone
she said don't follow me
she said if this disturbs you
she said i have no good news to bring
she said she said
there is a mark around her neck
and i taste it with my finger
it's claret claret red
it was her passport it was her choice
her destination
vale vale vale vale vale vale vale vale vale
she said don't follow me
she said if this disturbs you
she said i have no good news to bring
she said she said

I Put Her Dress On

i put her dress on to feel her skin
she doesn't feel like I want to feel her
i put her dress on her pleasure and pain
she doesn't feel how i want her to feel
the rose is dead it's claret red
it's blood stained red it's red on white again
i want to swallow wine
i want to drown till my eyes turn red
i want to swallow whatever there is
i want to be with her again
i'm feeling nervous i can't replicate
this doesn't feel like i want to feel her
the rose is dead it's claret red
it's blood stained red it's red on white again
i want to swallow wine
i want to drown till my eyes turn red
i want to swallow whatever there is
i want to be with her again
i want to be with you again

I Have Killed Myself

biting on my fingers
stare into the waters
Shelley in the waters
stupid with a corpse grin
almond eyes and purple lips
i have died for you
i have died for you
i have killed myself
over and over again
soft flesh in the waters
jealous angry waters
Shelley in his wet grave
i'm stupid with a corpse grin
my almond eyes and purple lips
screaming screaming choir
screaming dead souls choir
drowned by hell's choir
i have died for you
i have died with you
i have killed myself
over and over again
i have died for you
i have died with you
i have killed myself
over and over again
over again

Alien Skin Melbourne, Australia
I've been making darkwave electropop from elements of 80s post-punk subculture for over 40 years. Including years in the Australian band 'Real Life' topping world charts in the 80s with 'Send Me An Angel'.
Alien Skin recommends:
Haunting female French voice, menacing at times with melancholic atmosphere in the music.
go to album
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

Songs hit viscerally, gorgeous vocals, killer synths! Fave tracks: Missing Scene, Phantom Heart.
go to album
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing.
go to album
The Atlanta-based artist gets dreamy and dramatic on his latest release of pastoral post-punk.
