LYRICS:

The moment that you wake from your disguise
They record you with their eyes.
No matter how, long or hard they try
You know they won’t shake it
You know they won’t shake it.

Reaching for the seam that holds you in
To find where you begin.
Frozen in the pose they've chalked us in
You know we can’t break it
You know we can’t break this.

Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.

Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.

The shutter clicks and we’re immortalised
Flashbulb our goodbyes.
No matter how, long or hard you try
You know you can’t fake it
You know you can’t fake this.

Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.

Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.

Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.

Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.

found this song when I was watching Australian dash cam videos and one of the cars was playing this song. Definitely one of the best retro songs i have ever heard!

[Zalmakiz]

My wife and I fell in love with this song a while back. The DJ at our favorite club plays it on GOTH night regularly. Great song to dance to!

[alexjimenez]

Literally always coming back to this song. Me and wifey always sing it to each other time and time again. I hope you tour again soon. Kansas City Missouri here!

[BlvckVigil]

This song gives me the chills. Sooo so good.

[Cenotaff]

I normally prefer my synth as instrumentals but when the vocals are this good, I'm all over it. Fucking awesome stuff.

I've been looking for this song and today I finally found it again, I used to listen to this alot on the school bus in middle school. and now im finally graduated although it took me a bit longer than usual.
I made good memories with this song❤❤

[BicMacAndChips]

ah once again a lovely song. this music creates an ambiance within the deepest chambers of my mind. such brilliant music.

[AutumnWhite-]

I love the fusion of old and new ‘retro’. Perfectly blended.
