about

For All That We Ever Want, the second single from Picture One’s upcoming full length Hearts of the Terminus, seeps manic energy both lyrically and musically with sharp pizzicato strings, solid electro bass and words on the naive exhilaration of committing to something new.

“It’s about the things we marry ourselves to, places, people, drugs, habits, jobs. The things in moments of mania we think will provide relief and happiness without fully understanding what we are devoting ourselves to.”

lyrics

For all we want
For all we need
For all we lust and all we see

For all we aren’t
For all we weren’t
For all that we will never be

For all that we ever want
For all that we ever want

For all we’re not
For all we were
For all the things that were never sure

And to pine
And to seek
For all the things that we want to be

And in darkness and in loss
I give myself to thee
An injection to the heart
And to fall to darkness beneath our needs

For white wings will ride the dark
And I’m tortured by what deceives me
A call for love and light
But I’m plagued by demons
To fight the demons

For all that we ever want
For all that we ever want
For all that we ever want
For all that we ever want

I want to fly across the trees
Where I’d burn my heart in effigy
For to long, is to taunt
For all the things that we ever want

And in darkness and in loss
I give myself to thee
An injection to the heart
And to fall to darkness beneath our needs

For white wings will ride the dark
And I’m tortured by what deceives me
A call for love and light
But I’m plagued by demons
To fight the demons

For all that we ever want
For all that we ever want
For all that we ever want
For all that we ever want

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
