The city
The city of dreams
The city of the future
We built together
You, me, and the others
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
For a more modern era
You, me, and the others
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
For a more modern era
So God bless, say it with me, God bless,
God bless, say it with me, God bless
But you won't be here to see it
You, me, and the others
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
For a more modern era
But you won't be here to see it
You make us feel so unsafe
Please stop, please stop, God bless
You make us feel so unsafe
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
But please stop, please stop, God bless
You make us feel so unsafe
Our tears are far too real right now
Please stop, please stop, God bless
Please stop, please stop
Our tears are far too real right now
Our tears are far too real right now
Please stop, please stop, God bless
Please stop, please stop
We want to leave, God bless
We want to leave, God bless
We're gonna rebuild the pyramids
But you won't be here to see them
Do you know where we could stay?
Do you know where we could stay?
Our tears are far too real right now, God bless
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
The final generation
We'll discover the benefits
Of what it's like to live with half, half, missing
(You only have to raise the flag half-mast)
(The benefits of having half, half, missing)
Your past doesn't matter
You don't belong here
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
(You only have to raise the flag half-mast)
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
Just to take them all down
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
Just to take them all down
(Give me a sign)
I can unlock every door in a mile
With the click of a button
With a word and a number
(I can have my own walls soon)
I can unlock every door in a mile
With the click of a button, God bless
With a word and a number
(We have to live with half, half, missing)
Do you know where we could stay?
But you won't be here to see it
Do you know where we could stay?
But you won't be here to see it
(You only have to raise the flag half-mast)
Your past doesn't matter
And we worked so hard to get here
Your past doesn't matter
And we worked so hard to get here
(Give me a sign)
I can unlock every door in a mile
With the click of a button
With a word and a number
(I can have my own walls soon)
I can unlock every door in a mile
With the click of a button, God bless
God bless, with a word and a number
(We have to live with half, half, missing)
The city of dreams
The city of the future
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
But you won't be here to see it
(You only have to raise the flag half-mast)
The city of dreams
The city of the future
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
But you won't be here to see it
(The benefits of having half, half, missing)
The city of dreams
The city of the future
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
But you won't be here to see it
The city of dreams
The city of the future
We're gonna bring back the pyramids
But you won't be here to see it
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
The mix of shoegaze, punk, and noise from this Seattle band is notable for its urgency and bright, foregrounded vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 9, 2023
Four new rowdy, impossibly catchy songs from this post-punk group who bridge rough-edged New Zealand-style pop with darker, steelier sounds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 31, 2018
