lyrics

Twist ribbons through my hair
Long and sunset
A violet hangs around my neck
On a strand of silver icicles
The patterns brush the carpet
And the faces on the wall
A gown weaved of clouds in a sunset
I step out through the door
Onto the unpaved road
And my face is blank
I can see myself only in reflection.

There’s a lake nearby off the path
And under the moon it’s invisible
I’m invisible in it and to my own eyes
I’m not really there
The water is cold and my skin shakes
My hands rise and stay
On the surface is a tiny spider
It swims by and flies away.

My name echoes through the woods
And I ignore and they pass by
I’m in the center of a circle of silk
And the water clutches my bare legs
“Don’t leave us, don’t leave us,
Don’t leave us, don’t leave us,
Don’t leave us, don’t leave us,
Don’t leave us, don’t leave us”

I’m in the center of a circle of silk
I’m in the center of a circle of silk

Can you believe that in the decade that saw second-wave and atmospheric black metal take shape, the iciest album of the times would come from sweltering Arizona (by way of Iowa)? The album is Cold, it looks cold, and it is bloody cold indeed. AJ

Strangers
by Grey Gallows

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
