My mind is playing tricks on me
It thinks I’m dead when I’m really just asleep
I was in hell and it was never-ending cold
Stuck in a cycle where I lost all my control
But after that night is where I realized
That my own demise is coming down the pike
Will I live or die? It’s me who decides
I can reach out for life, or disappear in the night
Who is it that I dream of in bed?
Little reapers, dancing in my head?
Got to remember that my time draws near
A second closer ’til the endless fear
My life is up for grabs it seems
If not the reaper, then it’s my dead dreams
And someday soon he’ll come to tuck me into bed
So wake up! Wake up, sleepy head!
You’re drowning in a dream, feel you cannot breathe
Your mind a downward spiral, showing you all your defeats
Heart beats unsteadily, cold sweat runs through your sheets
You keep thinking ‘bout the things you haven’t remedied
In the depths of night, you find out what you hide
It shows up in plain sight, uncovers its disguise
Reveals dark truths that you were holding dear
But ones that you buried beneath the fear
Who is it that you dream of in bed?
Little reapers, dancing in your head?
Just remember that your time draws near
One second closer ’til the endless fear
Your life is up for grabs it seems
If not the reaper, then it’s your bad dreams
And someday soon he’ll come to tuck you into bed
So wake up! Wake up, sleepy head!
A criminally underrated album of a criminally underrated and underexposed genre. The production values here are so authentically 1980s. A good balance of traditional hard rock, synths, and strong melodies, with a spooky yet nostalgic feel, with the songs carefully curated for a strong experience start to finish. For those lonely nights, stuck in your bedroom, reminiscing days gone by: listen to this. cosmopolis
A deep synthwave trip into a blighted neon dystopia where androids and doomsday cults wreak havoc. Flashy, imaginative work from James Kent. Bandcamp New & Notable May 5, 2016
The great Cat Temper does it again! 10 more synthpop bangers with titles like “Growls on Film” and “Electric Pawpurrella.” Instant classic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 11, 2023
This album catches you from the opening of the 1st track. IMHO, I prefer instrumental synthwave overall, & Magic Dance has released instrumentals!! The vocals here are smooth however. I know The Midnight is one of the biggest/most popular synthwave acts, but I DON'T care for the singer altho he's good. But to me you sound bitter. Also, LOVE the beautiful album covers!! 💯😎🌴🌞❤🎹⭐🎛🪐 Shane Dangers
