Bodies

Our bodies are mountains,
our breath is the wind
My hair moves gently as you whisper secrets to me
Over the time you feel you’re rough around the edges
Well, that’s the challenge within,
to pinpoint the urge to quest for the winter time
in a winter town
In a winter town around a fuckup-lock
Hey, don’t lose your time
Hey, don’t lose your mind
I heard you were swimming someplace good
But I still describe for you some bricks, some fun, some hometown folk
I’m gonna feel you the most I can today
I’m gonna feel you the most I can
to relive this threat, duh
In the winter time
Our bodies are mountains, our breath is the wind
And rivers flow on the skin
I’m gonna feel you the most I can today
I’m gonna feel you the most I can
Don’t lose your mind

Hands

From the other end of the street
I see you dance to me
Maybe it’s your eyes or your skin, I don’t know
But now everything moves so slow
The hands,
they make overpowering shadows
on walls, on skins
Where are you now?
We move on and I still move so slow
The hands
Where are you now?
I still move so slow

Can we plunge entire towns?
Can we?
For the love I see in you and you see in me
It’s not over
Get closer,
listen to my fears falling into place
Leave alone the words that can hurt us both.
Can we plunge entire towns?
Can we?
For the love I found in you and you found in me
It’s not over
Be mine
‘till the cracks in time are falling into place
Leave alone the words that can hurt us both
On a night like this,
would you give in?
To the heat of this room
sliding along on the skin
Can we plunge entire towns for the love falling into place?
Leave alone the words that can hurt us both
It’s not over

Your Lover

He said
“One day, you’ll be seeing all of this clearly”
He said
“One day, you’ll be shouting from the top to the fields
Hey you, lonely, you’ll be free”
He said “one day”, but the day never came
It slipped away with the youth
Don’t say “one day”,
say “now”
He came back one day
to find the love he lost cause it wasn't fate.
He came back one day
to find the leaves fallen off
without him saying nothing but
“Don’t lose hope, don’t lose your days”
You came one day
to take it all back
but that was your call all along
Don’t say “one day”,
say “now”
He said
“One day, you’ll be seeing all of this clearly”
He said
“One day, you’ll be shouting from the top to the fields.
Hey you, lonely, you’ll be free”
He said “one day”, but the day never came
It slipped away with the youth
Baby,
your lover…

Bone-deep

Fuck Athens, fuck Berlin
I love every place I’ve been in
I’m sitting on a concrete thing,
I’ve made a bench for me
I feel uncomfortable everywhere I’m in
I feel different in the most painful way you can think of
I feel bound to make everyone see
that life is really not what you live
I’m in
bone-deep
Idiotic gestures and fundamental findings
Punitive narratives of lust
Oh love, if you feel tired,
now you know I’ve been there too
If you finally find the stars and they just collapse,
know you’ll probably find some other moves to dance off
And if you lose your keys in every shit-hole around,
it’s probably cause your head is all in
bone-deep
It’s in
bone-deep
“Be kind to one another”
or be ready to die
Be willing to attract or, beware,
you’ll be forever left out with the underdogs
that pray every day for a good life
With all the lies you’ve been fed
and the ones you think you fight against
cause everybody’s hungry for a hope
from above, from within, from afar,
from a night at the bar
But life is really not about that
It’s in, bone-deep

Highways
04:17

Voices, voices
Tell you to run away
but you wouldn’t do that, would you?
Choices, choices
Tell you to turn that key
but you always turn them down, don’t you?
If highways had doors that wouldn’t open,
would you stay put
or would you go closer?
To see what’s keeping you from going further
Forget the whole world, it’s not getting better
Well if highways had doors
I would knock them unconscious
Keys, to me, are clues and dreams
and not restrictions
Funny how you say,
we were brought to this world today
to bring it upside down
and we’re not meant to settle down
People’s voices
shouldn’t stay in the way
but they always do
unless you see what’s wrong with you
Choices, choices
They can relieve you
but you know you tend to leave a door half-open,
don’t you?
Don’t ask me
Just speak the truth to yourself
Forget the whole world
Spin

Screen

My friends,
they build a campfire in the night
on a magical beach
My friends,
they are majestic in their weird costumes
in the break of night
They buy caviar
just to see how awful it tastes
because they’re gorgeous and carefree
I wanna touch that screen
My friends,
they paint with colours all the walls
and put funny posters
They have kitchens made of love and discussions
My friends,
they have a makeshift swimming pool
and adorable features.
My friends,
they have parents and lovers and fallbacks,
they have terrible instinct
But they always find the way home
They always find the way home
Home
Where it’s ok to have flaws
I wanna touch that screen

Did we say goodbye?
I don’t remember much
cause we said we would not cry
And, what do you know,
time passes by like a heartbeat
What do you say
we get over the things we once said out of lust?
Well don’t be surprised
I’ve changed so much
I know it’s hard for you to recognise
There are no issues now,
there is nothing to expect,
there’s no love there to be found
my heart feels all dried out
I took a stand,
I did what you would have never dared
I got happily lost
in the tower of the saddest song
Don’t lay there
Don’t lay there like a medieval work of art
Waiting for my approval
and my attention to be caught
in your web of lies
Were you friend or foe?
Were we children of love and tainted desire,
struggling to bring to life
a romance of some movie we saw too many times?
I have no issues now,
I have nothing to say anymore
And don’t give me that look,
my patience is all run out
I took a stand,
I did what you would have never dared
I got happily lost
in the tower of the saddest song

These walls we’ve built
are out to chase us
Wake up, it’s war
for the ones like us
We got nothing
so we never look back
See us running in vein
But I sometimes do
then I unload my past on you
I sometimes do
Children play and the sun is up
but my insides keep falling apart
Do you ever feel this way?
Thinking how much wrong I do
and how much of it is on you
I got nothing
I say I never look back
sifting quickly through the pain
Well I sometimes do
to try to piece together the truth
I sometimes do

Diary of the Shadow

supported by 12 fans who also own “you.me.”
We've waited a long time for Thee Holy Strangers' second album! But yes, it was worth the wait, the band delivered a sophomore made of gold. Rocky, dusty gold, mind you, crude yet pure and beautiful! This is an indie-rock anthem with the distinguish americana style that the band established from the debut. It seems to have a conceptual flow and works really like a time-stopping spell. Great job, it's such a pleasure to hear THS music once again!
