about
This track is about the nighttime and its yin-yang duality. Full of discovery, mystery, and reflection, I have found myself the most under the moonlight.
lyrics
There's something about the night's presence.
A double-edged sword.
Heavy touches from the moon as it gives you light breaths.
There's something about it.
Something about.
Never before have I felt this way.
Holding hands with unknown figures.
Lathing onto falling embers.
Going slow wins the steady race.
Trapped in a false identity.
The nighttime brings this clarity.
Howling to the stars.
Burns from a cigar.
Mending all my scars.
Hope it gets me far.
It's a quiet place.
A muted painting chase.
Don't you love this feeling?
It's hard to erase.
Whispering footsteps as my mind keeps drifting into liquid.
A tap of guidance on your shoulder.
The way your trees sway.
The way time stops.
Hey there.
It's all a smoking dream anyways.
Sacred words across the paper to help digest your sacred vapor.
The answer's so close yet so far away.
Dancing in dreamy illusions.
The nighttime brings me these conclusions.
Howling to the stars.
Burns from a cigar.
Mending all my scars.
Hope it gets me far.
It's a quiet place.
A muted painting chase.
Don't you love this feeling?
It's hard to erase.
The wind sings to you as if you've never left your mother.
Facing your fears as the beautiful truth opens.
What are you afraid of?
Face it with loving eyes.

Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021
