Blasphemy
04:13

|
When you’re alone
Trouble sleeping
Planted seeds begin to grow
Pretty soon they will take hold
You force a smile
Though it kills you
To put their minds at ease
You’re so eager to please
What you want
You’d never ask of me
Because what you want
You feel is blasphemy
Dying light
Keep on dreaming
Don’t be afraid to let me know
What you’ve been thinking
What you want
You’d never ask of me
Because what you want
You feel is blasphemy

Cruel
04:25
|
|||
|
I’ve seen it in your eyes
You don’t want me to be here
Your smile twists in time
I wish that I could have seen it
I didn’t know you had it in you
It’s not like you
I didn’t know you had it in you
But you do – you can be cruel
You’ll find me half alive
Colour draining from my face
You’ve got half a mind
To call me one of your mistakes
I didn’t know you had it in you
It’s not like you
I didn’t know you had it in you
But you do – you can be cruel
I’m just a way to waste your time
Forever blinded to the signs
I didn’t know you had it in you
It’s not like you
I didn’t know you had it in you
But you do – you can be cruel

Fall Apart
03:49
|
|||
|
Keep a level head
Like the horizon
Your broken record mind’s
Always spinning out of time
In time you’ll come to see
There’s no bright light waiting
Keep her close
For fear she’ll fall apart again
You came so close to losing it all
It’s always on your mind
That hollow silence
You’ll do all that you can
To never hear that sound again
There’s nothing you can say
That will make it go away
Keep her close
For fear she’ll fall apart again if you don’t
No one knows how far there is to fall
Or just how close you came to losing it all

Horizon
04:19
|
|||
|
Half awake
I heard you speak
So many words
Just out of reach
I always stayed
Wilfully blind
I hope it was hard
When it came time
I promise I will find you
No matter what horizon
You’re hiding behind
You kept me close
Quick to believe
A sleight of hand
Too slight to see
All the things
You took from me
My steady hand
My will to breathe
I promise I will find you
No matter what horizon
You’re hiding behind

Hearts Grow Dull
05:06
|
|||
|
City lights and state lines
Blurring fast in my eyes
With each passing hour, god knows I try
To keep your smile fixed in my mind
But this is more than I can bear
Distance makes the heart grow dull
Static hum and dead air
Breathing slows, are you there?
And I can’t believe the things you said
All your wounded words tumble through my head
But this is more than I can bear
Distance makes the heart grow dull

Without You
04:26
|
|||
|
The ground is soft and cold
Feel the breeze
As the leaves fall on your face
Like your breathe hangs in the air
You’ll be gone
When the seasons fall away
Feel like you’re losing time
So afraid
Always looking for a sign
Can I close my eyes in the dark
And wake up where you are?
Can I move without leaving my room?
We’ll find out soon
Because it’s harder to leave
When I’m without you

Still Life
03:31
|
|||
|
The still life we’re in
Blurs into one
It’s so nice to feel you close
Colours run
And you will fade from view
And I will reach to find you
Sunrise – so bright
Where have you been?
You and I always try
To flee the scene
And you will fade from view
And I will reach to find you

Drive
04:40
|
|||
|
You were in the back seat
Counting lights that line the road
As they flash through your window
Like a dim lethargic strobe
The radio spits static
Trying to find a familiar sound
But we keep it on for comfort
To drown the silence out
It’s a long drive home
And I don’t know where this road goes
My eyes are getting heavy
As I squint into the rain
I curse myself for breathing
And waking you again
It’s a long drive home
And I don’t know where this road goes
And you say that I am absent
I’m asleep behind the wheel
And we’ve never known each other
And I guess we never will
It’s a long drive home
And I don’t know where this road goes

The Week That Never Was
04:17
|
|||
|
The sun is at your window
But your blinds make sure that he don’t
Wake you up, disturb your slumber
So you stay safe under the covers
It was the week that never was
They were the days that we both lost
Chasing shadows from the corners of your room
In this small room you will stay hidden
You’ve built your tomb, let no one in
Here you’ll sleep through the seasons
They waste their breath
You’re way past reason
It was the week that never was
They were the days that we both lost
Chasing shadows from the corners of your room
If you won’t speak, I will do the taking
If you won’t leave, I will lock myself in
If you won’t wake, I’ll watch over you

Safe and Sound
04:36
|
|||
|
You tried to warn me
Like the autumn skies turn grey
You were fading
Winter seemed so far away
I should have been there
To stay your restless mind
My dreams so vivid
While your memories unwind
When your feet next touch the ground
You’ll be safe and sound
In a place you will call home
In a place you’ll come to loathe
They always said that
We were stitched together
I never noticed
You were picking at the seams
When your feet next touch the ground
You’ll be safe and sound
In a place you will call home
In a place you’ll come to loathe
When your feet next touch the ground
You’ll be safe and sound
Half a world away
But I love you all the same

The title track pulled me into Slow Crush's orbit, but Tremble held me there - alongside Lull from the Hush LP and the whole of Seasurfer's Dive In, it can send me into an altered state of consciousness. The album vibrates with hints and nudges, from Slowdive twangs to a Corgan-esque chord shift, but Slow Crush are their own sound - thick, dark melodic, etherealistic soundscapes with Isa Holliday's vocals both binding the music and rising above it. One of the best bands in years.
