about

"Trying to Remember" (off 2017's Viva La Vulva from BLIGHT.Records) drops directly into the breakneck rhythm, suspense thriller melodies and cold wave backdrop of a haunting dystopia, in which one inevitably wonders aloud, "how did we get here?" Singer Kristie Di Lascio delivers powerful vocals and choral harmonies hushed by hysteria, as if writing a final message on window fog.

lyrics

How did we get here?
Locked in a safe without a space, we´ve got no atmosphere
All we breathe is fear
And we´re trying to remember.

How did I get here?
I should have run before the gun was lifted to my ear.
Now I no longer hear
What I´m trying to remember.

Drowning in his words
Doused in all the lies
Dying to the sound of cheer
Where does it go from here?
And I´m trying to remember.

Another life ends
All in the name of pain inflicted to allay your fears
I´ll give you all my tears
As if you´re trying to remember.

And as you walk on,
Breathing the fumes of nervous laughter on a path unclear
Your kind is welcome here
What were you trying to remember?

Will you stand beside me?
Could you not divide me?
Don´t you see me here at all?
And all the masses smile,
As they´re trying to remember.

Trying to remember, trying to remember, why?
Trying to remember, trying to remember, why?
And we´re trying to remember.
