lyrics
put a dime in the machine
see you smiling at me
you’ll have your chorus at the ready,
i’m watching with my eyes wide
got your dollar free
‘cuz you were thick with speech
made my people ill
for a cheaper thrill
i see the wheels spinning inside you
you’ll play them what they long to hear
you’ll have your chorus at the ready,
formation’s moving steady
you’ve made so little into many,
so little into many
don a leaden gun
power over everyone
don a leaden gun
took my firstborn son
i see the wheels spinning inside you
playing what they long to hear
their movements change with every miscue
(i see them changing, i hear them turn)
with such a ringing in our ears
(i hear the ringing, i feel it burn)
“Awake Again,” the title track, is the most upbeat and poppy sounding on the album, which contrasts the other more mellow and toned-down tracks like “It’s Because I Cut My Hair” and “Spilt Milk” so perfectly. This is a track you could actually dance to. I mean, I can’t, but theoretically, someone with more ability and only one left foot absolutely could. N.J. Racket
This Calgary group makes goth-y post-punk attired in the brightly colorful arrangements of bleep-boop synthesized psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 3, 2024
