about

SHIPS is synth-drenched electronica with a melody that lilts and vocals that haunt, underpinned by a meditative percussive beat. This latest single continues the evolution of GLVES' unique ‘Blaktronica’ sound, which is gaining a following because of its multilayered resonance, fortified by honest and poetic lyrics.

lyrics

There’s a perfume
Fragrance of the moon
Sniffed out something
Deep inside and true

Cloud mountains so high
Billowing across your mind
I went to touch
My hand went through
There was nothing left of you

You’re a thief I can’t find
Won’t let me sleep
Won’t let me rest
Try to forget
All of the dread
All of the dread

We were ships in the night
Sailed long ago
Let’s stop pretending we didn’t know

We were ships in the night
Sailed long ago
Let’s stop pretending

There’s a whisper
In my ear
But I don’t want to feel the tears
With milky eyes
And heavy tongue
I try to sleep or try to run

I don’t want to voice my fears
You’re so cold to touch

We were ships in the night
Sailed long ago
Let’s stop pretending we didn’t know

We were ships in the night
Sailed long ago
Let’s stop pretending we didn’t know

Oh oh oh open your eyes
Lets just say our final goodbyes
