Weightless 04:10
We two fish in a vacuum Swim across the sparkling velvet We bathe in black champagne We toast with clink of helmet If you could see the danger loom Would you try to forewarn? Or sit right up there on the moon With a big ol’ bucket of popcorn? Our arrogance can’t help us now, and it hurts a little, Our laser beams can’t help us now, our world so burned and brittle. This great expanse can’t help us now, our loneliness increases, All our futures shattered, and we float among the pieces. Chrome and 50’s pinup lips The starlight in your eyes Just we and one last jetpack trip Across the lurex sky. I will sing you a starchild lullabye Can you still hear me in your speaker? The static crackles God’s reply, Your signal’s getting weaker. Let’s blow the hatch and blaze a trail Bright across the sky And weightless I will drift with you Until our batt’ries die. And weightless I will drift with you And bid our friends goodbye.

Gamma-ray bursts from a neutron star collision Leading to magnetic field’s recognition of itself Emerging from chaotic structure Speeding particle jets in an energetic rupture Supercomputer simulation Starry self-immolation A nuclear shiver faster than the eye can blink In 35 milliseconds we’ll be skating on the brink of collapse High energy GRB Can you see the radiation When we explode together baby There’s no complication To boldly go in search of soul divinity In the subatomic flow We split infinity From the swirling void the unknown tends to beseech you A lonely asteroid beckoning to complete you On a nebulous safari, metaphysical ends Justify the territorial strands in your colonial Handstand on a precipice, admiring the span of the Event Horizon and lay your tiny mortal eyes on a wireframe, a polysemic refrain Zoom in from a solar storm to tears in rain, incontrivertible proof, a sensual degustation, Of the omniversal truth in every permutation

Bowie said we had five years Sedge says we have two Well you can try to fly standing still through this one But the world it won’t wait for you This is a song for a young statue This is a song for a poet’s maimed heart, oh This is a song for a fragile warrior Sharpening her paint brush into a poisoned dart Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all upon you Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all away I’ll soften the fall, I’ll soften the fall for you Be there when you call Whisper it’s all OK The 8 foot bride says you’re her baby doll And that seems to soothe you somehow But Patti calls for you to run beside her You gotta be up off your knees to take your bow This is a song for a young statue This is a song for a poet’s maimed heart, oh This is a song for a delicate lover Clutching at worries Like pearls in the dark Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all upon you Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all away I’ll soften the fall, I’ll soften the fall for you Be there when you call Whisper it’s all OK Cindy says she saw many moons But you gotta be outside to see Well what good is shining your light down here When you refuse to believe that you’re free Don’t carry it all. Don’t carry it all. I’ll wait with you til day.

There was a time When we were outside To see planets align And shooting stars fly Today we watch The sun set underground Although we know It’s just a fool’s gold glow How did it come to this How did it come to this So distant, we bury our hearts below Dawn activates But there’s a shadow in my wake All they see is dread When they look inside my head Search for a smile Truth stretched out for miles Reach out my hand For help – but I’ve been scanned Munchian scream Klimtian kiss Just like a scene From my fevered waking dream A barrage of words I miss the sound of birds We put wings on our backs But they’re just stuck on with wax How did it come to this How did it come to this So distant, we bury our hearts below How did we come to this How did we come to this So distant, we bury our hearts we bury our hearts below

about

Neon Bogart Melbourne, Australia

Soaring vocals meet unflinching musical originality and a kaleidoscopic mix of influences ranging from film noir, Weimar-era cabaret, jazz, soul and electro beats.

From atmospheric 1920s-meets-24th-century ballads through to searing future-soul molecular boogaloo, this is music from the future and for the end of the world as we know it.
