A song from the "This Is Not Modern Life" album by Friends Without Faces, released 09/16/22.

Note from Braz_OS (DESKPOP manager): "I was floored when FWF [Friends Without Faces] sent this album to me. 11 songs and about 46 minutes dense with innovative sound design, perplexing rhythms, playful interruptions, and constantly surprising lyrics. It doesn't end with just the music though; she's created an entire universe in which her stage name FWF connects with a futuristic version of herself named Lychee living on tropical Neo-Antarctica. (It makes more sense if you watch the ridiculous live action + VR chat hybrid music video for Sunny Side Up.) FWF reminded me how scholarly music theory doesn't have to be displayed in a stoic and dated format! Let go of your preconceptions about music and give This Is Not Modern Life a shot :~)"

LYRICS:

Every photo of you

That I have is online

And the likes still accrue

But I don't own the rights

I can't recall your face

I don't remember your name

It's as if you were erased

And I fear I'll meet the same

Fate

And live like hell in the free state

I'm in mourning

This love I've lost is a warning

I never knew we'd agree to

Rendezvous here with me

Standing on the coast, I'd laugh and say

Take me to Ma'ili, Oahu, Hawaii

Don't you know your ghost stays the same?

Since you were disappeared

I've had dreams where we're back

Where nobody can hear

Making plans of attack

Drawing borders from brick

In this sepulcher town

Searching profile pics

Finding yours for a

Download

But all I see's a QR code

In my memory

The bit rot's making things hazy

Just why are you nobody, still

In my view? I can see

Everybody most [of] the time by name

Take me to Ma'ili, Oahu, Hawaii

Don't you know your ghost stays the same?

They can switch my happiness for malice

But they can't steal this from my mind palace

Vague feelings of love in the summertime;

A town's welcome sign; someone undefined

And that's all I've got to remember you by

Fuck the days, like the birds, that

Flew away with those words

I would say to roast your heart aflame

Take me to Ma'ili, Oahu, Hawaii

Don't you know your ghost stays the same?

It stays the same...
