I'VE SEEN NOW
THE THINGS I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE
THE THINGS I THOUGHT AT FIRST WERE MAKE-BELIEVE
THE SCHEME OF HOW ALL THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE
IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING AT ALL

Full Circle Back

I’LL CROSS MY HEART AND MAKE A WISH
FIX MYSELF A HEART SANDWICH
COUNT THE DAYS AND CROSS THE LIST
FINGERS PRESSED AGAINST MY LIPS
I’LL TURN AND FACE THE SUN
THERE’S NO REST UNTIL WE COME...
FULL CIRCLE BACK
TO A BETTER TIME
TO THE PLACE WHERE WE BELONG
FULL CIRCLE BACK
TO ANOTHER START
AND FORGET WHAT WE’VE BECOME
I LOOK UP TO THE SILENT SKY
WELCOME ALL THE YEARS GONE BY
I GREET YOU WITH A TOOTHLESS SMILE
CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON, PICK A SIDE
DECISION’S YOURS TO MAKE
EITHER WAY IT’S OH-SO FAKE
I SCRATCH THE ITCH AND STRIKE A MATCH
TURN MY OWN SKIN INTO ASH
YOU’RE QUESTIONING A QUESTION MARK
WHAT’S THE POINT TO EVEN ASK?
DONT KNOW WHAT'S IN BETWEEN
MY OWN HEARTBEAT’S DEAFENING

WONT YOU PRAY FOR ME?
TIME MAKES NO RETREAT
THESE GLANCES FROM THE SIDE
SEND SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE
WOULD YOU COUNT TO THREE?
TONGUE-TIED TO A TREE
THESE VOICES FROM WITHIN
TEARING OFF MY SKIN
DO ME A FAVOUR AND BREAK THE HOURGLASS, IM TOO TERRIFIED SEE IT HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY, IT’S UP TO YOU TO DECIDE
I ONLY ONCE DID WHAT’S EXPECTED
I LOOKED STRAIGHT INTO THE EYES OF GOD
AND SAID « IM TRULY SORRY, I COULD NEVER BE SATISFIED"
HOLD THIS GLASS FOR ME
AS TIGHT AS CAN BE
SAME SHIVERS AS BEFORE
SHATTERS ON THE FLOOR
LIGHTS
WONT YOU PRAY FOR ME
TIME MAKES NO RETREAT
THESE VOICES FROM WITHIN
TEARING OFF MY SKIN

LOOK UP TO THE SKY
IT’S A GOOD GOOD DAY TO DIE
YOU CAN’T UNREAD THOSE SIGNS
IT’S A GOOD GOOD DAY TO DIE
FAKE MESSIAH WASHED ASHORE
SPIN THE WHEEL FOREVERMORE
I SHOW MY HAND AND MAKE IT KNOWN
RAISE THE FLAG WE’RE LEAVING HOME
HARPOON
WAIT I MIGHT HAVE CHANGED MY MIND
SHIPS TAKE ON WATER BY DESIGN
OUTNUMBERED TEN TO ONE
LOCK ME UP UNTIL I DROWN
HARPOON

I NEVER WANTED THE PARTY TO END
I WAS SO FOND OF ANYTHING YOU SAID
OH YOU’RE SO FUNNY I’D LAUGH IF I STILL HAD A MOUTH AND A FACE TO GO WITH IT
SLING YOUR HOOK, DO THE VANISHING ACT
WE’LL ROAM THE STREETS TIL THE FIRST RAYS OF LIGHT
OH AND THE CATHEDRAL ALIGHT IS A SUCH A TERRIBLE SIGHT IF YOU’VE HAD ONE OF THESE
SO CROSS THIS LINE
IT’S THE SAME AS MINE
BETTER LEFT UNSAID
MASSIVE CLOUDS AHEAD
WATCH OUT
CROSS THIS LINE
IT’S THE SAME AS MINE
BETTER LEFT UNSAID
MASSIVE CLOUDS AHEAD
HERE WE COME, JOKERS ALL DRESSED IN BLACK
OH YOU CAN TELL WE’RE A BEAUTIFUL PACK
BUT IF YOU’RE OUT AFTER NINE, BRACE YOURSELF FOR A FINE IT’S A MATTER OF CHANCE
RUN HAPPY PEOPLE, IN THE POURING RAIN
QUITE UNCERTAIN OF WHAT LIES AHEAD
BUT TONIGHT’S NOT OVER YET, WE’LL JUMP WITHOUT A NET COME WHAT WILL, COME WHAT MAY
SO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FEEL IT SLOWLY COMING UP
SUCH A PRIVILEGE TO HOLD YOUR HAND AND WATCH THE SPACESHIP TAKING OFF
WITH A BIT OF LUCK WE MIGHT JUST END UP LANDING ON THE MOON
IT AIN’T 1969 BUT CLOSE ENOUGH, TAKE IN THE VIEW
ONE LAST TIME

OH HERE I STAND SO CLOSE TO YOU
HUMBLY BEND DOWN AND OFFER YOU
MY SORRY SELF AND RICHES TOO
NO PAIN NO GAIN I HOLD IT TRUE
OH HERE THEY COME, THE HAPPY FEW
WITH GOLDEN TONGUES AND PRUSSIAN BLUE
I’LL CHEW YOU UP THEN SPIT YOU OUT
CONSPICUOUS YET OUT OF SIGHT
NOW, EVEN IF I COULD I’D FEEL SO PARALYZED
NOW, CHASING AWAY FEELINGS I COULD NEVER HIDE
NOW, EVEN IF I COULD I’D FEEL SO PARALYZED

I’m heading to the kingdom
Of dark and murky waters
To see if I can still breathe
Deep beneath the surface
None of it has seen the light
Far too precious, out of sight
Long-forgotten mercy chants
You thought you could but still you can’t
Here comes the new continent
Borders yet to be drawn
If you’ve come for glory and medals
You’ll find them covered in plastic
Shipwreck lounge suite, open sesame
40 ex-castaways on imaginary shores
"Welcome to the party » I hear them say
"Four on the seafloor, underwater folklore »
Half-conscious rambling through an endless space
Ill-defined concepts come at an irrational pace
What you want is here for you to take
All sunk to the bottom of the lake
Ocean goddess on the seabed
With this scum ring I thee wed
My gift isn't love and pie
but oxygen in short supply
All wrapped up in chromatic fish scales
Running up and down a liquid jail
Hang myself to the fishing line
Soon I will sure be leaving town

PASSING OVERHEAD, ABOVE A CLEAR BLUE SKY
WONT YOU PLEASE TAKE ME AWAY SOMETIME
NOTHING MATTERS NOW, YOU’LL NEVER COME BACK DOWN AGAIN
OH
EARTHLY MATTERS DONT MATTER MUCH TO BOTH OF US
IT’S PRETTY OBVIOUS
BUT DONT YOU WANNA SEE
OH
WHAT IS LEFT FOR YOU AND ME
OH
THE CEILING’S SO CLOSE TO MY FEET I COULD GO FOR A STROLL
A SICK SAD SOLAR SYSTEM THE SIZE OF A SOLE
OH
IM ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL
I’LL SEE YOU INTO THE UNKNOWN
OH
THANK GOD FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING IN SUCH A SMALL SPACE STILL, I HATE TO BE THAT GUY BUT I SWEAR IM CATCHING A COLD OH
IM ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL

OF ALL THE NIGHTS THAT NEVER TURNED INTO THE DAY?
EYES WIDE OPEN FOREVERMORE
I FORM A PICTURE AND I LET IT FLOAT AWAY
AND I AM SO...
I FEEL SO...
SO COMPLETELY SLEEPLESS
HAVE YOU SEEN THE CREATURES AT MY DOOR?
BIT OF A JOKE BUT I’M AFRAID THEY’RE HERE TO STAY
PEERING DOWN FROM THE HIGHEST FLOOR
THEN LOOKING UP TO SEE YOU COME OUT OF THE FRAME
IM LYING SLEEPLESSLY
SO PUT ME UNDER NOW
THEY SAY « THERE’S NOTHING, NOTHING HERE FOR YOU » , AGAIN UNTIL I SLOWLY, SLOWLY FADE FROM VIEW, AGAIN

MNNQNS Rouen, France
4-Piece Post-Punk-Power-Pop-Psych-Synth-Gaze-Whatever band from Rouen, France.
If you like MNNQNS, you may also like:
supported by 5 fans who also own “THE SECOND PRINCIPLE”
Great solid urban-gloom post punk with added ska synths from this superb french band. Like that they're singing in french at times...makes the music move more IMO. Overall still not gonna beat their debut...but that was a younger frustration with more jauntiness and less world-weariness about them. Still tough to beat this lot (Try 'UZS' for a Polish stripped down version of them if you're liking their style)

A wonderfully corrosive album that oozes style. FACS really congeal into an act with direction on this record. Fantastic

Massive, doomy songs drenched in echo and centered on eerie vocal melodies for a heightened sense of mystery.

Krautrock collides with psych on this rip-roaring EP from El Universo, which pits jagged guitars against lockstep rhythms.

everything is alive
by Slowdive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
