about

Third single from the upcoming studio album "Motel Rooms" (©2020 Go Down Records).

THE BAND SAYS:
We’re very happy how things turned out on "Eyes of Shadow", but overall the writing process took us longer as expected. We had to approach the song, which means we had to mess around with sketches, distancing ourselves from it again, taking things back later in order to make the song work. With a tight rhythm and a melody both driving, an obsessive and distended crescendo, which is taking the listener into a rapturous suspension, we wanted to suggest some sort of metaphoric trip. Lyrically Anita describes an initiatory relationship with a femme fatale with a vague, dark and otherworldly essence and while staring deep into her eyes, all she sees are the shadows within.

lyrics

My lady comes to me in silk and feathers
Her soft cold skin enshrouds me in a thick fog

See in her eyes shadows
Oh please, her eyes full of shadows

The moment in which we met I hardly remember
I only know she suddenly captured my thoughts

My baby comes to me my heart’s burnt to ashes
I kissed her lips, they’re cold and red like her blood

See in her eyes shadows
Oh please, her eyes full of shadows
Oh see in her eyes shadows
Oh please, the light is scattered

The moment in which we met I hardly remember
I only know she suddenly captured my thoughts

My baby comes to me attracts people's attention
I gaze with reverence upon her and then I’m lost

See in her eyes shadows
Oh please, her eyes full of shadows
Oh see in her eyes shadows
Oh please, the light is scattered

See in her eyes there are shadows
Scattered the light and I feel cold
Deepest in her eyes
Scattered the light and I feel cold

See in her eyes there are shadows
Oh please, her eyes are full of shadows

See in her eyes shadows
Oh please, her eyes full of shadows
Oh see in her eyes shadows
Oh please, the light is scattered
