lyrics

Catch the Moon
(first verse is based on a limerick by Anthony Euwer, from The Limeratomy, published in 1917.)

As a beauty, I am not any star
There are others more handsome by far
But my face, I don’t mind it
I’m behind it
It’s the people in front who get the jar

And me, and you, and me, and you, and me…

In a picture I am not any idol
All the others they lie by the fire
But my skin, I’m inside it
I am binded
As a model, I don’t have much to bare

It’s your face that I mind
Superlunary...
(I mind, I mind that I mind)

And me, and you, and me, and you, and me…

As a seer, I rely on my mind
All the others think they thrive on a rise
But my eyes, they are wisest
When I’m blinded
As a prophet I won’t show you your star

It’s your face that I mind
(I mind, I mind that I mind)
Superlunary...

Nebenkörper
by Vlimmer

The striking synth/goth songs on the latest from Vlimmer feel 50 stories tall, with gigantic walls of sound and bleak, ominous vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 26, 2021
