Wake Up (City's Bleeding)
Spectral Chains
Post-Punk
About
Jagged angular guitar riffs cut through repetitive driving bass lines, enveloped in echoey reverb effects that amplify the atmospheric unease of urban isolation. Introspective spoken vocals murmur tales of existential dread and societal decay over unconventional structures, from sparse intros to hypnotic choruses and tense breakdowns. The minimalist production prioritizes space, texture, and delay-drenched depth, channeling late-70s post-punk rebellion.
Lyrics
Echoes in the hollow night Fading signals Out of sight cold wind Cuts through empty veins Nothing left but endless chains Jagged streets where dreams collide Faces blurred in flickering light We chase the ghosts of what we knew But every step pulls a Saskill billboard Scream their hollow lies From a dancing undergrace Skies are clawed Walled walls that won't give way Trapped in this decaying play Wake up, wake up The city's bleeding hearts are pounding But no one's seeing Drift away, drift away Into the void Aeon waves Cries Fractured souls In shattered dreams The silence screams Fractured souls In shattered dreams Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
