aliceislistening This track made me fall in love with Tiger Mimic. It's exquisitely dark and powerful, yet sweet and melancholic. It encloses exactly what I like in music: mystery, eerie atmospheres and pure sentiment. Go and check out the superb video of this song, it's entirely made by Tiger Mimic,
true all-round artists.

about

A breathless journey in search of a safe place to hide and escape the darkness all around. From the moment the fuzzed-out intro kicks in, the listener is driven along with hypnotic rhythm through surreal verses and raucous interludes, culminating in a final riff-soaked ending that leaves you gasping for air.

lyrics

HEY! HEY HEY! HEY!

When we got there
It was still dark
Not one sound
Not one bark
With no eyes
Nothing to see
Just us two yeah
You and me
But we couldn’t stand still
Even when time stood still
Oh, this is not ours

The sun came up
We just stood there
Not one shadow
Not one care
I could hear your heartbeat
We’re alive yeah
Not in a dream
But we couldn't stand still
Even when time stood still
Oh, this is not ours

HEY! HEY HEY! HEY!

A screech it seeped
between the trees
As naked branches
Free of leaves
Madly sway in a violent breeze
And shadows rose from everything
Filled the night
With wild churning
Like and onyx fire burning
Swallowing the stars and moon
The lost now lost
Beyond returning

When we got there
It was still dark
Not one sound
Not one bark
With no eyes
Nothing to see
Just us two, yeah,
You and me
But we couldn’t stand still
Even when time stood still
This is not ours
This is not ours

HEY! HEY HEY! HEY!

The days crash against us like waves
(against us like waves)
And grind our original shape
(original shape)
Down to the tiniest grains
(the tiniest grains)
And onward 'til nothing remains.
(until nothing remains)
