The Wanderer

from Hearts of the Terminus by Picture One

about

The Wanderer, the first single from Picture One’s upcoming full length Hearts of the Terminus, lyrically deals with concepts of emotional accountability and self awareness through introspection and growth. It’s about overcoming destructive patterns and striving to become a better individual.

This striking dance track begins with a pounding double kick LinnDrum, airy choral synths and echoey vocals recalling 80s UK gothic rock before launching into a hook driven verse reminiscent of electro era New Order. The chorus calls heavily upon Giorgio Moroder produced pop music while borrowing vocal phrasing from genres as varied as sophisti-pop to black metal.

lyrics

A hatred lives far below
And emotions bled it was terminal
To only know what you know
Deceived by instincts decided long ago

Our hatred lives in these catacombs
Where we fight for death, fight for what you know

Oh to see through clear eyes
And what is so?
When all is fogged by the years
So how can we know?

Our hatred lives in these catacombs
Where we fight for death, fight for what you know

Because, lights ablaze in this cold
Because these patterns are frail and old
Uphold this fire with your heart of gold
And onto stories unforetold

Because, lights ablaze in this cold
Because these patterns are frail and old
Uphold this fire with your heart of gold
And onto stories unforetold

And down in craters far below
When love burns hot, the infection grows
And we’re destroyed by what we know
I want to erased these instincts decided long ago

Our hatred lives in these catacombs
Where we fight for death, fight for what you know

Because, lights ablaze in this cold
Because these patterns are frail and old
Uphold this fire with your heart of gold
And onto stories unforetold

Because, lights ablaze in this cold
Because these patterns are frail and old
Uphold this fire with your heart of gold
And onto stories unforetold
