There’s still no concrete news on when we’ll actually get to hear the entirety of Italians Do It Better’s new compilation After Dark 2, but Johnny Jewel is stringing out our interest expertly by releasing a new track from it seemingly at random intervals. His latest offering comes from his Glass Candy project and is called “The Possessed,” and comes riddled with the some neon synths we’ve come to know and love from Jewel. The song has a deceptively upbeat and carefree vocal melody despite possessesing some rather dark lyrics, which can be read in full below the track.
Lyrics:
Through The Glass
Our Cares Are Laughable
We Are Flies
We’re Six Billion Terrible
Women In Vogue
To The House Nightly
Wanton Galore
The Happy House Nightly
We Are Flies
We’re Blue & We’re Beautiful
Multiplied
We’re Six Billion Terrible
Mortals Forlorn
Through The Glass Darkly
Wanton Galore
The Looking Glass Darkly
Wild Child
Set Free In The Night
Wild Child
Set Free In The Night
Through The Glass Darkly
The Looking Glass Darkly
Too Bad
The Mad
Darkly Obsessed
To The House Nightly
So Sad
We Have
Le’Go The Possessed
The Happy House Nightly
It’s All Things To The Menagerie
We Die & Wait For The Burn
It’s All Things To The Menagerie
We Came To Learn
Await The Return…
Of The Child Made Wild !
XO
