It’s all empty words now Extravagant displays A hole in your conventions Chase but never could obtain How can I be something That never really was? All your imitations, They’re robbing us, they’re robbing us… Why do your extremes remind me Of a shitty old movie Held only by your dreams But it’s not like in the movies Why? Why? Couldn’t be the actress/actor Just couldn’t play the role Now the chase, it only goes on And truth is never won When your dreams are like a poison Why is it replayed? They’ll take us further from ourselves And now we never really were, we never really were...

Past this inevitable loss, I recall beer gardens and tram stops I recalled my loss I recalled When I served you my worlds like pearls I served you my worlds like pearls My permanent lapse of alacrity My permanent lapse So chisel me unknown Let’s meet for the first time So chisel me unknown Let’s meet for the first time Let’s meet for the first time Let’s meet for the first time So chisel me unknown Chisel me unknown Chisel me unknown Chisel me unknown Past this inevitable loss, I recall beer gardens and tram stops I recalled my loss I recalled When I served you my worlds like pearls I served you my worlds like pearls My permanent lapse of alacrity My permanent lapse So chisel me unknown Let’s meet for the first time Chisel me unknown Let’s meet for the first time Let’s meet for the first time Let’s meet for the first time So tell me now, does Temptress conclude? So tell me now, does Temptress conclude? So tell me now, does Temptress conclude? So tell me now, does Temptress conclude?

Shadow 04:36
Twenty-three, I gotta bury my bones It’s true they still cling to my back It’s here our children roam Twenty-three, so I’ll dig it up, dig it up Speak the name and i’ll shiver Like footsteps over my grave And i still don’t know who took her And it’s a long way to remember my name Was it innocence you saw across the room? Or this darkness reflected in you? And I'm hollowed out, and I can’t forget But I don’t remember you now So i run with my shadow, shadow Lost on a darkened floor Child on these city streets Take back what wasn’t yours A retake so I can sleep We faded with the year Blacked out your face It’s your power holds us here So I run with my shadow So I run with my shadow So I run with my shadow So I run with my shadow

It got no heart no soul I can’t find no more Let the light bleed in Where I was born Comes for Auroville Coming for Berlin Shadows in Edinburgh My Tourist Dystopia Comes for Auroville Comes for Berlin Shadows in Edinburgh My Tourist Dystopia Comes for Auroville Comes for Berlin Shadows in Edinburgh My Tourist Dystopia My Tourist Dystopia Comes for Auroville Comes for Berlin Shadows in Edinburgh My Tourist Dystopia Comes for Auroville Comes for Berlin Shadows in Edinburgh My Tourist Dystopia It’s been written before It’s been fought before These lies which are older than us And they will corrode Oh they will corrode Oh they will corrode It’s been written before It’s been fought before These lies which are older than us And they will corrode Oh they will corrode Oh they will corrode

We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful Time flew and left us here Time flew and left us Limitless depths with no salvation at the end Time flew and left us here Time flew and left us Limitless depths With no salvation at the end No yesterday, no today, no tomorrow No yesterday, no today, no tomorrow Limitless depths Limitless depths Limitless depths with no salvation at the end We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful We are forever changed and forever grateful

about

"Music for the club inside your head, where the lights never go out and the mirrors force you to see from all angles"

Temptress is the debut album from Berlin-based Scottish-Indian Darkwave duo, Permanent Daylight (Aarnav Bos and Ailsa McEwan). With themes of rage against stagnation and longing, the album merges a diverse range of influences and takes a harmonic and introspective approach – one removed from Berlin’s techno scene.

The ethereal quality to McEwan’s vocals (coming from a background in dreampop), combined with Bos’ obsession with goth and EBM, resulted in Temptress’ unique sound: hazy guitars, catchy basslines, ominous vocals and interdisciplinary synths. Flitting between dread and tranquillity, the LP evokes a range of emotions whilst remaining ever in the shadows - intentionally vague.

Unlike their contemporaries, Permanent Daylight are not escapist; the core intention behind the music seeks to force the listener to confront what needs to be confronted, to face what they do not want to face.
