about
In Defence features the unique and powerful vocal of US artist kiti marcel. Her elegant, pointed and poetic lyrical stylings address thorny issues of relationships under the metaphorical guise of warfare and aggression.
The track continues Status Oblique's intricate blend of industrial, synth, shoegaze and post-punk sounds, with each threatening to overwhelm, but held in fragile check as the song cascades forward...
lyrics
You were a lesson learned
An early silence,
broke and burned
in a wasteland
of your last offense
weeping madness
among the trip wires
There’s wreckage to collect
barreling through landmines of regret
nuclear winter
Of our own construction
A discontent I
yearn to outlast
I watch the bombs fall ahead
we take cover instead
The ruins of our histories
unknown by us
for centuries
it’s all so simple
In the silence of your room
I don't know what I could give to you you’re hardened and can’t forgive this could be the moment we bloom but this soil’s made for tombs
I don't know what more I could give you
A heart so full it could burst
your dreamy mind has lost all courage and I just think we’re cursed
I don't know what else to give you with your silence and inaction shut me off
turn it out
you would be harmed by me
