Crunch Pod ™ is proud to present the single “Faded” by Los Angeles based Death Rock / Post-Punk/ Darkwave band Stranger Dreams.
The track “Faded” was originally conceived by guitarist Seamus Simpson as a conceptual song that would have a slower darker and moodier style. Further developed by Karloz.M, the initial demo was one of the last songs structures that Seamus heard and eagerly approved for production some 48 hours before his passing.
The lyrics we’re written by Karloz and Amoreena Stout based on brief conversations regarding the trio’s experiences and accounts of life in and out of the streets of East Hollywood. Featuring a blistering remix by Dreamscape Invocation & Manufactura that tips the hat to Alien Sex Fiend, Ministry, & The Soft Moon.
LYRICS:
Another shot
Another line
And where back at the start
Or is this the end?
I can’t tell anymore
Fucked up again
On the
boulevard of Dreams
A nightmare to some
Redemption for none
I heard you fought some guy
For being nasty to his woman
That must have been our thing
Teaching lessons with our fists
And I’ve left my mark
On some
But I also have scars
Of other stupid men
That
wouldn’t Understand
Fucked up again
On the
boulevard of Dreams
Without any glitz
And the glamor’s been shot
(He owed money to his pimp)
Well I guess the booze and pills
Never quite
did you in
But I know
you gave it
your best shot
And You know the night I tried to kill myself
I gave a bum $300 bucks
he played a mean saxophone
Doomed from the start
For drinking too much
For thinking too much
While Wearing our hearts
on our whiskey soaked sleeves
Fucked up again
On the
boulevard of Dreams
A great place to get mugged
When you’re looking for change
And Perhaps our paths
were meant to laugh and to mock
At our failure
Of ending it all
Fucked up again
On the
boulevard of Dreams
Where the elephant is pink
And the concrete broke your face
Seems like only yesterday
At the filthy frolic room
The whiskey was strong
the guitar was drunk
