Politics Of Touch

by Material Action

supported by
Jean-Paul DuQuette

Jean-Paul DuQuette Honestly, with all the new rave, synthwave and various sundry '80s retro scenes out there, it' s sort of shocking that Material Action isn't better known. This is basically slightly melancholic new wave, with dreamy production and an emphasis on synths. Definitely worth dropping $1 on. Favorite track: Harm Has Come.

Television 03:29
Watching the t.v. Lonely sofa scene Cut to the blue screen Better just go to bed and die Alone Alone Hours, no value You were not my friend Display, I still need you Just go to bed and cry </3 Alone Alone And there's no one else but me Seems like no one else can see Just me and my t.v. It watches over me and you Records all the things we do It watches you

No Trust 01:19
No trust
4.
Stare into the night The knife against your skin Black ocean of despair Their ears against the door Find the will to disappear Head pressed to the bedsheet tear Harm has come Their eyes against the windowpane When I first met you You were like a magazine You captured their attention But you were broken by their love Lies Neon lights Hypnotized Advertized City Used Crisis Betrayal Violent Beat-down Low rent emotion Sex They whisper in the dark Hear them whisper in the dark Lies: I've met nice girls too Thought they were nicer than you Kept their legs closed Just like the nice boys taught them to Cut Lies Cut away your faith Cuts upon her face Lies

Strange Door 05:31
Lock the door I can't feel my heart Can't see beyond Emotional response Lock my self Lock my heart

Cold Night 05:58
Cold I could show you I could show you what it's like When your heart goes When your heart grows cold I could show you Show you how it feels How it feels inside When your heart grows cold Emptiness
7.
The Falling 08:14
Just a dream So far away Something good That never came Waking up The hole remains Alone again I fall away Just a dream Fall away Your love It falls away No love I get no love It falls away
8.
I'm just a memory I'm just a memory Feels like yesterday These years long passed That you and I could see ourselves in love forever In your mind is where I'll always be A memory I'm just a memory So bury me

When It Ends 04:03
I know I've felt this way before Alone with you Like it's over It's over It's over
