about

Blue Light Trails is story of a million different people all over the world, running towards the weekend, towards the inebriated escapism that removes them from themselves and the monotony of the working week spent in servitude to someone else’s needs. Its your favourite song in the club, the 3am party, dancing in the living room of someone you don’t know, making best friends with a stranger in a bathroom that you won’t remember their name in the morning, its the sun coming up and splitting the blinds while you smile from ear to ear. Its escapism. In that escapism there's a quiet desperation filling a void with the false happiness of alcohol and whatever else they can get their hands on. Its a coping mechanism, fleeing from something inside yourself, lying to yourself that this is all fine and waking up the next day, every week, with the bitter realisation that its not ok, that its making everything worse, its about wanting more and stretching for it but not quite reaching it. It's about how it makes you feel graceless.

lyrics

Blue Light Trails

Left my haze in the ash tray
Audio, let it resonate
Blue lights trail
On top of the ceiling
Got my haze from the ash tray

And I can’t get up
I’ve had enough
I'm sick and tired of feeling so goddamn rough

The sun comes up
And were having a good time
The sun comes up and we were feeling so fine

Burnt out from the night before
Face against the cold tile floor
Resurrection in the afterglow
I don’t want it anymore
