lyrics

You're going out tonight
For the first time it feels like a lifeline, yeah
From the lazy lights on the freeway to the parking garage
It feels like the first time again

As though you can't let go of the steering wheel
Close your eyes and seal the deal
And all the way back home
You're singing it to yourself again
Over and over

You wanna keep it in the dark
You wanna feel it in your pulse
You oughta beat it in your heart
You wanna keep it in the dark
You wanna feel like someone else
But you don't want to come apart

In the morning and in the afternoon
And the next day too
And the next day too
Yeah, you're gonna have to sleep
Mmm late at night
And the next night too
And in the afternoon

You're turning out the light
It's the worst time to be online alone
But the lazy lights on the freeway and the parking garage
They won't leave you alone

You never could say no to another souvenir
Carry it away from here
And all the way back home
You're singing it to yourself again, over and over

You wanna
Keep it in the dark
You wanna listen to your pulse
You oughta beat it in your heart
You wanna
Keep it in the dark
You wanna feel like someone else
But you don't wanna live with it

In the morning and in the afternoon
And the next day, too
And the next day, too
Yeah, you're gonna have to sleep
Mmm, late at night
And the next night, too
And in the afternoon.

about

Motes Urbana, Illinois

In the traditions of post-punk and dreampop, Motes' guitars are rhythmic and noisy, and their melodies are hushed and frail. The group is decidedly Midwestern, though, in their exploration of emotion through imagery and exposition. Their poetry has a kind of existential clarity; and sometimes, through layers and modulation, Motes get messy—but never miss the mark. ... more
