Hold My Pride

Another drama scene for real
Half mermaid, half crow
Give ‘em more sex, more fear
Exciting final above a cloud
Another funny scene to act
Drinking the « lost dream » vial
The world’s a scary giant trap
A giant trap
Over and over fakes are real
Can’t run away from the monster claws
Savages friends upon the hill
A paper hill
Noisy people live in that grey color
They put on a brave face
But I figure out
Noisy people live in that grey color
They put on a brave face
But I figure out
That we’re all living in that grey color
I’ve got a deep strong doubt
So you can hide,
Behind a fake mood
All my pride
A deep strong doubt
That you can’t hide
Behind a fake mood
Hold my
Deep strong doubt
Then you can hide
Behind a fake mood
C’me on, hold my pride

Blue Roses
03:38
|

|
Roses red and roses white
Plucked I for my love’s delight
My love’s delight
Now that I’m gone and finally back
The blue reveals in shadow’s night
For you and I
The hopeless days the time watched back
I curved my corpse and chose desire
And chose desire
I’m stuck in a Sisyphus task
Blue is the rod but petals black
Blue roses eyes
A devil fire
A secret well
A million thorns would give a rest
A dead weapon
To reach the fail
Roses white and red are best
Cutting off the light
Drowning in the tide of love
Cutting off the light
Of you
How wasted our time is
Breaking up the neck backwards
What a poor, small diary
The unknown grows up in a junkyard
A dead end
A secret well
That was my fire when I’m gone
Now burns the fire that you're gone

The Honest and the Brave
04:22
|
|||
|
The Brave is cold inside
He’s good but not hard
It's time to cut off the aura and let it bleed down
It's like having all the wrong keys into the right locks
And feeling like a doom, walking like an old man
It's just a stand by
A kind of distress
The Honest had a plan
Waste it all and let it fade out along her skin like a drop of none
The Brave is cold, he's lost into the black lodge
Lost in a spiral of sensitive words
The silence is screaming,
A stone instead of the brain
A stone
No brain, but a hollow stone
A lethal shot into the chest
A simple wooden doll
The Honest lies again
There’s no end unill the end and a whole world to save
Now silly, swallow
now silly, swallow
shut up and swallow
now silly, swallow
Now silly, swallow
now silly, swallow
shut up and swallow
now silly, swallow

What I can tell you
What I can tell... it’s a void
I’m so lonesome, I’m a freak
What you can tell me
What you can tell... it’s so cruel
An awesome bad part of a tale
You’re so close to them
So much more my love
So close to them
Carry on and on
There’s no sense again
Like diamonds, like tears
What I can tell you
What I can tell... is a blend
Of fear and love in a jail
What you can tell me
What you can tell... is insane
Yes I am a better crowd
You’re so close to them
So much more my love
So close to them
Carry on and on
Let ‘em glow again
Your diamonds, my dear
So you just say
What no one can say
And it falls
In the big hole of your mind
So you just say
What no one can say and it grows
And it grows and rises to fame
You shine, it’s the drug that you spread
Make it grow and rise it
I can’t get my head around
I can touch
Almost touch it
I can’t get my head around
I’m freaking out like a kitten

Dead in Your Pocket
05:23
|

|
There we go to Tideland
But no more lifeline
No more lifeline
I’m not able to react
But travel to the moon and back
And twist it up wild
Twist it up wild
Until I caught what you were
Until I caught where I went
Without a lifeline
No more lifeline
I gave you the rest of my frozen head
And here comes the bell
Finally landing by the upside down
Finally landing by the upside down
I took a breath in the water
Big breath in the water
And then smoked the branches and leaves of a dead tree
The only glow of the building was the cure we needed
We’re like dreamers who dream
And then live inside the dream
Without a lifeline
No more lifeline
I’m not able to react
But travel to the moon and back
I twist it up wild
Twist it up wild
I’m ready to leave more dust anywhere
I hope it shines again
It drives my head out
Drives my head out
I turned off the old tracks
It was like a violent dance of sparks
I heard it sometimes
I heard the last one
And I’m not able to react
but love her to the moon and back
Without a lifeline
No more lifeline

Usual Chronicles
04:33
|
|||
|
I feel like God in a bottle
And wild
And sick
Would you wanna be my sorrow
Be my sorrow
We're dancing upon a wire
And crashing down in a moment
The fall of us
Still whispering a wish
The fall of us
Slapped down to the floor
Scratched hard with your bone
Grab my hand a little more
The fall of us
The high red shape
Grinds out again
Then flow and fade out
Above the fate
Deal with it, you dumb
Deal with it, you dumb
Alive and fool
Blind eyes open
Get high, get wrecked, break it down and out
Will you make it soft ?
Will you make it fun ?
It's time to bring back the autumn in winter
It sounds like a hell and I
I hope
I hope that I'm done
I hope that I'm done

I want Pluto to be a planet again
Don’t stand alone on the top of the edge
Now is blowing the wind of a young bloom
And now comes the brightness
We'll live together or we'll die alone
But I’m from the old cast
I hope she can still catch herself in the mirror
She's too far from us
Yo
I want Pluto to be a planet again
Not a triangular head on stage
I’m an H minus, like a flie in a room
Pace Maker's priceless
We'll live together or we'll die alone
Just wanna feel her closer
And let it rise up but, but I’m a loser
She’s too smart for us
Wrong way, we’re falling
Swimming in the mud and proud of what we’re living
Get a performax sex and cheating death
‘Til the end of time
‘Til the day you’ll be mine
Augmented and happy
Get some perfect clear straight feelings
Nice suit, you have it all
Nice suit, you have it all
Would I find a skin, under the steel
Finally fondle her skin or a rasping steel
Got no reason to inflate my old lungs
Cause now Pluto is not a planet again
We'll live together or we'll die alone
Let hope float in space,
And the imperfect memories of a bygone era
The old broken dust
You, the queen of plastic mind
Do you love me yet ?
Do you love me yet ?
Do you love, me yet ?

Flash Sideway

I ever met you on rainbow
Trying to get the real contrasts of
Real contrasts of the bow
I wish I had a bit of your thoughts
Give you a kiss and disappear into the
Flash sideway
Flash sideway
Flash side-sideway
Flash sideway Oh
One day I met you on rainbow
Across the sea, between two rays of light
Between two rays of light
I did my show, I did it so hard to
Give you a kiss and disappear into the
Flash sideway
Flash sideway
Flash side-sideway
Flash sideway Oh
Grains of sand could change in stars
When you put a spell on us and follow the wind
We’re dreaming, loving like weirdos
And let it grow in a circle of fire
Enjoying making some bullets of lava with
I wish I had a bit of your thoughts
And then a kiss and disappear into the
Flash sideway
Flash sideway
Flash side-sideway
Flash sideway
Grains of sand could change in stars
When you put a spell on us and follow the wind

The Reason Why
03:50
|

|
You’re the reason why the collapse wins
The flowers dry and
Poison kills
I don’t really know
Don’t really know
How you missed it
Look I’m still vibrating
You’re the reason why
The sun goes off
The night is too cold and
Daylight sucks
I’m not really sure
Not really sure
Why you missed it
Look I’m still vibrating
Where will I go whitout a shore
Why should I stand, I’ve got a reason to crawl
Gathering pains and let’em grow around
You sowed the wrong seeds a long time ago
You sowed the wrong seeds a long time ago
You sowed the wrong seeds a long time ago
You sowed wrong
You’re the reason why all the bad wins
The kid’s youth dries and
Virus kills
I don’t really know
Don’t really know
How you missed it
Look I’m still vibrating
Where will I go whitout a shore
Why should I stand, I’ve got a reason to crawl
Gathering pains and let’em grow around
You sowed the wrong seeds a long time ago
You sowed the wrong seeds a long time ago
You sowed the wrong seeds a long time ago
You sowed wrong

That Shouldn't Be Shown
05:59
|

|
That shouldn’t be shown
That should not be shown
What’s the point to tear it up
The arrow’s beside us
Keep on gambling one more season
For a nasty illusion
A room I came in
Those rules I came in
Those rules I am waiting for
White and black and golden
White and black and golden
Let us celebrate the flight of a comet behind us
On the other side of the rope
I’m the shooting wall
Of a game I came in
This game I came in
Those rules I am waiting for
Those rules I am waiting for
I still can hear the echo, it sounds like a scammer
It brings a phantom of the past
A phantom on the path
That shouldn’t be gone
That should not be gone
Like an unwanted guest I keep an eye on the door
I dived into the darkness of a fancy illusion
Double crown on your head
Double strike in my head
And rules I am waiting for
Those rules I am waiting for

Diamond Dog Dijon, France
An obvious reference to Bowie as the starting point for an sensitive, artistic reflection, tormented and
full of pop
culture references.
Diamond Dog’s dystopian punk and poetic vision starts to take shape in 2020 and was fully formed in
2021.
The writing and the performance of the songs draws its identity from the new wave origins of the very
end of the 70’s.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 7 fans who also own “Usual Chronicles”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

this album made me feel nostalgic for memories that never existed😭 the name of the album compliments the sound of the album very well. keep up the great work.

Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich.
