The Spell

Deeper I sink inside your eyes
As pure and blue as an ocean hideaway
Slower I do get closer to you
I can’t escape, my mind has gone away
Never to be brought back whence I came
Bound to you
Could I be under your spell?
I’m so bound to you
Could I be under your spell?
Feeling attraction growing inside
Body talks and nothing else remains
You leave me shapeless
As your charms without shame touch me once again
I never, ever want to see this end
Bound to you
Could I be under your spell?
I’m so bound to you
Could I be under your spell?
Bodies and souls in unison
A perfect union lost in time and space
A dance of shadows in the
Soothing night reflecting your grace
Could you ever make me feel again?
Bound to you
Could I be under your spell?
I’m so bound to you
Could I be under your spell?

My Angel

My friend, my beauty, my love
Everything is burning ‘round me
My fears, my sorrow seem to be gone
You’re shining in my mortified world
Your hand in mine, your face
Smiling as the sun appears
And I, who was so empty,
I Feel at last this blazing fire
Take me away my angel
Hold me in your arms again
Cover me my angel
‘Cos kindred spirits never feel the pain
Alone, time is passing slowly
Everyday I think of you
My heart once blackened, is now
Sickened with your missing presence
I long to see you night and day
Over and over, it’s killing me
When I will see you again?
What fate awaits beyond this loneliness?
Take me away my angel
Hold me in your arms again
Cover me my angel
‘Cos kindred spirits never fall in pain

Obsession
02:38
|
|||
|
A dream forgotten
Long-time suffering and hopeless feelings
This poisonous anger’s still flowing deep inside me
I don’t believe I could one day be saved from myself
Could I be free inside my own reality
You’re my obsession
I’ll never be the same
Fading faces
Barely traces of what had existed
I see myself laugh before a mirror of lies
One expectation, a single reflection of what has been light
Is it too much asked?
Will you be my own demise?
You’re my obsession
I’ll never be the same

Untold Realities
04:33
|
|||
|
Plunging in another world
Eyes shut closed and silence falls
The night outside has spread its call
Come to sleepers, blackened birds
Slowly visions come to me
Distortions of memories
An alteration of places
Unfolding realities
Are they things I might have seen
Recollections of a past
So long forgotten and at last
Emerging out of a dream ?
What is real I cannot tell
As my thoughts begin to swell
Leading to infinity
Of untold realities
Dormant might they be by day
These weird impressions drag me to
An obscure stasis where I do
Find myself alone and stray
Among blur faces I behold
Spectral mirrors of a cold
Representation of a world
That seems so distant, lost and curved
Dormant I must be indeed
When I dwell within a dream
Where the laws of matter seem
To scatter here and there and bleed
Drops of crystal that reflect
Oddities that must reject
Any truth except from these
Yet untold realities
Anxious am I when I stare
Helpless at some deviant scenes
Of nameless figures there who seem
To escape from this nightmare
Confused and trapped in between
Two dimensions, so obscene
I cannot see the end of this
Is there anything I miss ?
Everything has turned insane
All those pictures in my head
Which torment me in my bed
And dripple like a heavy rain
Come to me and make me wake up
Help me find the missing keys
That could unveil if true or fake
Are these untold realities

Neurasthenia
05:34
|
|||
|
The light is fading in your eyes
The void has settled in your mind
Every bit of strength you had has been caught away
Away in the nothingness
There is no will to carry on
No goal, no purpose to live on
Reluctant to be a part of this rotting world
You choose, just to watch it fall down
Neurasthenia
You’re bored of everything that happens
Like every feeling from you was taken
You’ve become an empty shell, a faceless creature
You’re Lost, feeding like a vulture
Neurasthenia

Snow White Slow Death
03:25
|
|||
|
Empty mirrors
No more shelter
I look around
And see no exit
I’m alone
Alone with you
You seduce me
You drag me down
Then you lure me
You take me by the hand
With a cold smile
You know I’ll fall
I can't keep away
What play
Made me your prey ?
Oh ...
Snow White
Slow Death
Snow White
Snow White, Slow Death
When you’re inside me
I think I like you
You take my mind
And blow it all away
With a cold smile
You know I’ll fall
You make my time
And waste myself
Strange addiction
No remission
When I’m alone
Alone with you
I can't keep away
What play
Made me your prey ?
Oh ...
Snow White
Slow Death
Snow White
Snow White, Slow Death
Empty mirrors
You drag me down
I think I like you
You waste myself
With a cold smile
Alone with you…
I can't keep away
What play
Made me your prey ?
Oh ...
Snow White
Slow Death
Snow White
Snow White, Slow Death

The Living Paradox Semur En Auxois, France
We are a synthpop band formed in Besançon in 2016.
Our sound is a mix of several 80’s post punk and new wave
bands with more modern influences as well.
We try to make a sound balanced between the energy of rock and the ethereal or acid sounds of synth oriented wave.
Have a taste ;)
