The Spectacle is mouths agape
as we to consume too soon
are we being, having, appearing
to everyone in an empty room?
it's the fetishization of us all
it's the glamorous lights of the strip mall
as the pack of punters watch in awe
at the dizzying heights of the stunt man's fall
Sold to a lonely crowd
silence twice as loud
Sold to no one and all
See how far we fall
Spectators of profit
Hearts turn to their eyes as the situation dies
Spectators of profit
Life is representation
have I missed the situation?
Sold to a lonely crowd
silence twice as loud
Sold to no one and all see how far we fall
a monopoly of appearance
on the margins of existence
cause what’s good appears
and what appears is good
I think you know more than you should
I think I know
The Spectacle is ever changing
The Spectacle is all consuming
The Spectacle is never ending
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Ottawa duo Paragon Cause craft songs that occupy the space between goth and dream pop, with sublime melodies drifting in guitar haze. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 15, 2021
