Positive Lines
02:08
|
|||
|
Peace of mind denied
I can't stand positive lines
They make me want to die
So shallow on the inside
I don't bother
If a wave of blue thought
Swallowed me up whole
And I won't pretend
Because nothing really
Matters in the end
Clarity,
Don't speak to me
I favor misery
Just like I don't make sense
To myself
Or to anybody else

Sway
02:36
|
|||
|
Hand me the noose
I'll take care of the rest
After all, I know myself
And what's best
Like the sun and the air
Bleach out the day
Call it losing touch
Or call it sway
Give me your heart
I'll give you head
You'll grow strong
And I'll grow weak instead
Hand me the noose
I'll try my best
We can no longer
Expect much from me
Wash away,
All the rain

Riverine
02:54
|
|||
|
Let it flow
Waterfall in your eyes
Can't keep you dry
Can't tell the truth
I'm bad with lies
Insomnia sleeps like lullabies
Pour the time, it's riverine
Take your wine
Here's to the past
The sun it shines, I'll stay inside
A dirty glass, a broken mind
You're a nine
Turn back time
I want to lie under a neon sun
Why make amends?
While it lasts it won't end
My vision's my sight
Not seemingly, but definitely
A canopy of rotten stars
The mold and dirt
Caused no alert, it's only words
It's always only words
Turn me on like sad songs
Cool the heat like waterfalls

Candor
02:47
|
|||
|
Candor in the gutter
Dont drain away
Its some miserable waters
A chlorine charade
The sun in the sky
Is but a big tangerine
And all the clouds
Theyre made of polystyrene
Candor in the gutter
Don't drain away
It's some miserable waters
A chlorine charade
A decay parade
You're killing the mood
And it's killing me
You take the blame,
Wrap it around me
Candor in the gutter
Don't drain away
It's some miserable waters
A chlorine charade
A decay parade

Vague
02:33
|
|||
|
Vague memories
They olden the young
Find the right words
Then swallow your tongue
Like church on Sunday
Put on your fake smile
Watch the water
It never turns to wine
From the sight
To the mind
Scratch out my eyes
It's been days
For years
I slowly disappear
Tell me the good news
I'll tell you the bad
Watch the water
It never turns...
Shallow
Water month
Wavering halo
Waver on

6. |

|
Rain fell heavy on my mind
Wrinkles on my wrists
And bags under my eyes
Every truth I've ever dared
Turned out a lie
I'd lose myself to be profound,
Immaterialized
Like a lullaby
I cannot close my eyes
Funereal times,
Negative Lines,
I'm far from heaven in my mind
Serenity fly,
Pass me by,
I'm left behind
I'm far from heaven in my mind
I'm far from heaven in my mind
No silence inside my head
Alone again
Alone again

Monochrome
02:51
|
|||
|
Whatever I think
I think I'm underwhelmed
I've got whatever it takes
To take the blame
Maybe we could hang
From my balcony
It's not the end of days
Just the day the world will end
I don't know what to say
Could never lose my faith
I didn't mean what I meant
I don't believe in anything
How could I color the gray?
I am in a monochrome
I cannot take a deep breath
There's only dust and haze
I couldn't keep to myself
That nothing is fine in the end
Wouldn't say that I'm right
Yet, I'm not wrong
So, prove me right
Prove me wrong

Blow
03:12
|
|||
|
Blow away the sun
Make my head swim from spun
I'm daylight trembling
Every sunshine hour
How are we close, it feels so far?
I don't believe myself anymore
Am I wasting hours, or a year?
I've lost my sense of time
The choice
To choose no sides
May be byzantine
What if I just can't keep apart
What's wrong
And what's right?
Joy is asleep
In a dream
Of dichotomy
Why believe
In me
Or anything?

Dismay Me
02:53
|
|||
|
So many moments wasted
Every meaning's doubtful
Why would I be stronger
When I can be weak instead?
It never ends to dismay me
There's no way
That I don't stand in my way
Staring at the ceiling
Tangled in a daydream
Tired in broad daylight
Wide awake in bed
It never ends to dismay me
There's no way
That I don't stand in my way
In my head, a disarray
All there is, it's so illusionary
I would meet you halfway
Weren't it that hard
Not to push you away

In My Head
02:56
|
|||
|
Sunbeam,
Scratch out my eyes
Don't want to see the light
Don't want to shine
You want to search
And don't want to find
Like laying awake in bed at night
Filthy sheets
And smoke in the air
My heart is melting
And you don't care
You fuck with me
Inside my head
You throw me a bone
And I play dead
Chances are I'm not seeing straight
Like telling a gun:
'Do not blow me away'
Sunbeam,
Scratch out my eyes
Don't want to see the light
Don't want to shine

Just found out today they split, thought I'd buy the cd. These guys were a seriously good dreampop band. This whole album is awesome, but the instrumental Windfall and closing Gemini are standouts, and of course I have to mention the AMAZING Wildfire. While I'm at it, I recommend listening to The Other Side of Midnight (not on this album). Fell in love with that track; it was my most played song on Spotify in 2019.

Are these really the last songs by 4Vesta? With all 3 EPs published within half a year, all of them are my comfort playlists. While the Static EP is arguably the least interesting to me, it is impossible to find a song that is not great.
