Take Care

"Take care," you said, "Take care," you said
"Oh don't look back, no don't look back," I thought
As I walked out
The blurred lines, the bloated lies
The silenced hearts, the broken starts
The many moons, the catch-22
It's all cancelled – a cloud nine gone taboo
Let me eighty-six it for you
And now what do you say?
Does it leave you somehow disoriented
Discombobulated, ego-deflated?
Have the seeds of doubt been planted?
– the user manual dislocated?
My lifeboat is out, feral instincts on guard
"Take care," you said, "Take care," you said
"Oh don't look back, no don't look back," I thought
As I walked out
Today it seems so far
Sunk beneath the stars
My waterline is calm
And I haven't looked back
– no, I haven't looked back

Nightwatch

I don't really know what I've been doing
Enduring things I find hard to abide
Now I'm looking for something
I know what it's supposed to be like
I'm safe and I'm sound, the night is watching
I'm taking in the strength it provides
I'll find a special place for your wedding ring
And display all the things I should not hide
I recall you saying
With a mischievous spark in your eye
"All the world is a loony bin
The headmaster is right by your side"
I'm feeling home again in my own skin
And I can see the healing of my heart
I look up to the sky and I see nothing
Except for a million twinkling stars
People come and go – it is life's logic
There's always one to be the next in line
Ties are unbound, others are growing
I'm ready now to leave the past behind

The People Underground Liège, Belgium
The People Underground are a duo based in Liège, Belgium.
They have been playing together since
2018, sharing a mutual love for Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails.
When they want to be really presumptuous, they like to describe their sound as "John Carpenter meets Cocteau Twins" – which is pretentious indeed, and yet somehow appropriate.
