I want to see her wake up and glow
You wrap your fingers around her soul
Around her wrist, around her neck
Watch how she reacts to the heat
As if she isn't me
I have to wake her up for real
Have to destroy what she believes
I have to slap her face and see
If she is or isn't me
It all still feels like it's staged
The smiles on their faces hide it well
It's not enough to break the trance
Coming up with new ways to dance
She has to know that it isn't real
Nothing's ever what it seems
Do you know I'm still here?
Words you don't hear
Do you know I still care?
Never got me anywhere
You leave stains on the back of my eyes
So I see you all the time, I see you every time I blink
Stains on the back of my eyes
I'm so close but yet so distant
I'm so close but yet so distant from the real
Your face is slowly fading into gray
I'm chasing you to a place hidden in my brain
Hours changing into days
Days are changing into years
Flowers paling in the rain
Power withering away
Don't think I will be okay
Hours changing into days
I know you feel that pretty pain
When you dare to look at me
I know it's not gonna happen
But you keep reminding me it's possible
Ever since that hopeless day
Only live inside of my dreams
I know you're not gonna save me
Just keep me reminding me it's possible
I lie so well, sometimes I even believe myself
It's getting harder though
I can tell you're trying to contain yourself
Or is it fucking me again?
Don't sweat it, I'll forget it
Or at least pretend to let go of you
Don't sweat it, I'll forget it
Or at least pretend to be happy
Two people in me
Two people in me
Two people inside
Two people in me
Two people in me
Two people inside
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see
Someone holding your hand
Two people in me
Two people in me
And they're holding hands
Try to keep my thoughts
Inside of my head, of course
You're reading minds again
I don't think I'm wrong in any way
But still, I'll take the pain again
Won't get it, there, you said it
Still hope is fucking with my head
Won't get it, there, you said it
Oh, no pretend no more
Want to go backwards
In time
Two people in me
Two people in me
Two people inside
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see
Someone holding your hand
Two people in me
Two people in me
And they're holding hands
I finally let go of what I held onto
That means I won't let you use me again
He'd never lie to me
He has struck me with that stare of his
Through the dreaming I can go on
On stage you play along
I am longing for something hidden in those eyes
I am longing for something I will never touch
You'll never understand
Read it, read it
This isn't about you
You'll never understand
Read it, read it
This isn't about you
The blue is turning green
Only want to look at
You are creeping through the
Smoke and through the chaos
Help me peel some skin off
I only want what I can't
Have you seen my brain, love?
Call some dead-eyed dealer
We can fly away to
Time goes on, while I'm dreaming
When are you gonna leave me?
I will make your knees hurt
And then still not give you
What you don't deserve to
Get me out of control
Watch me walk away, 'cause
I don't like the pain and
He will make me feel good
Time goes on, while I'm dreaming
When are you gonna leave me?
You wanna know the truth behind these windows?
Silent eyes, stung by lies
Are fixed on you
You wanna get me away from here?
Tell me when to pull the plug
Keep me dazed, my dear
You are mine when the night falls
Keep me dazed, my dear
Get us something to hold onto
Tell me why getting high is consoling
Give me something I can drown in
Again your green controls my dreams
Consuming nightmares
Give up control, it's all for you
Don't let him pull me away from you
Keep me dazed, my dear
You wanna play the game
But not with me
Because you are afraid
Of what I've become, but you know that you crave it
I only want to look at
You are creeping through the
Smoke and through the chaos
Help me, peel some skin off
I will make your knees hurt
And then still not give you
What you don't deserve to
Get me out of control
You'll never understand
Read it, read it
This isn't about you
The blue is turning green

Tjalling Eindhoven, Netherlands
Tjalling combines shoegaze, indie & post-rock/metal to create long, uninterrupted, pieces of music. Elements of Mogwai, My Bloody Valentine & Amenra come to light in a captivating & confusing trip.

This album ranges from tender to oumph, doing so in a fashion that makes me think I'm out soaring in the praires or facing the unknown. This is peak Caspian. Probably their best work as of yet IMHO.

One of the best post-metal instrumental albums and one-man bands, with some post-rock track such as « off his way ».

Wild noise rock on Upset the Rhythm that chucks free jazz, punk, and drone into a blender and presses “puree.”
