1.
Looking back When everything felt different Exploration mattered And the journey to get there Now it's gone Now it's gone away Never coming Never get it back No return Won’t return No way to get those feelings again The things I’d do to to fell that way again Listen to the forest for the first time Feel the icy chill of glacial swims See a star die out in the night sky

Tears Fall 04:52
I awake to myself alone In the dark house we once called home I keep walking along the hall Hopelessly tears fall I couldn’t even make the bed Or move the pillow where you rested your head Where you once lay down your hair It’s not the same now you’re not there In the yard where we once would sit For hours when the fire was lit I still stand through sleet and rain Forever living with the pain You did what you had always planned With the razor that was in your hand The bathroom forever red It’s not the same now you’re not there From the day that I found you dead
3.
Square one 03:54
A mountain of dirt And jagged stone Hike to a peak For safety The onslaught of rain Turns soil to mud Sending back to square one An impossible trek Of snakes and ladders Success is impossible So you stand there alone Defenceless
4.
Midsommar 05:15
Can I find A reason to live Can I find A way through the pain Am I meant to walk Alone in this world Or am I meant to find A purpose to this all? Midsommar nights When the sun kills the dark The sky is split between The dusk and infinite twilight Midsommar nights Just with me and you An endless day we spend I’ll hold you until the mourning has come I found a way Through the darkest days And now the June evenings Have melted away the frost The colour returns To the dying trees I read your lips once more And know that this is what I was waiting for Midsommar nights When the sun kills the dark The sky is split between The dusk and infinite twilight Midsommar nights Just with me and you An endless day we spend I’ll hold you until the mourning has come I promise you I’ll never leave (I’ll never leave) Promise me the same (You’ll never leave) I promise you I’ll never leave (I’ll never leave) Please promise me the same (You’ll never leave)

Branches splintered Upon the return Of the coming winter A storm brews along the horizon Obscured by the dew coated foliage Taking its last breath Before the cold frost kills Again another season The green tones blackened Will not see the light again The seasons change But only soil remains The skies are darkened By the suns last breath The cold moon calls For howling wind on a dying earth Summer is gone The hope of autumn Is all but a memory And spring is too far away Winter is where you will stay Is where I will stay Is where we are

Breathe 04:54
The darkness surrounds Dew scented with fog A shiver runs down my spine As the isolation sinks in Turn back Let go Backward Holding on Breathe in Breathe out Let go Let go Turn back Let go Backward Holding on Breathe in Breathe out Let go Let go
7.
Escape 03:19
Amber city lights Blurred with twilight eyes A cold chill of a morning breeze Paints a scene of desolace The morrow sun awaits With light and warmth and hope A glimmer only to be Extinguished in a few hours Escaping dreams Tormented skies Rush towards nature There’s too much noise And people here Move to the fucking sticks Escaping dreams Greyed out clouds Get away from here There’s too much noise And people here Move to the fucking sticks The midday peak of light Melts away the frost Reminders of the structured world A pit of cement and steel An evening jam Of cars and pollution And people and animals Clogging up Mother Nature
8.
Into The Fog 03:28
A darkened rainy haze Extinguished the passionate blaze That once burned in my heart And now it’s all but torn apart The light has become so dim No longer do I hear birds sing Now I find that peace I knew Is long gone, like the skies of blue I’ve written out a plan I’ve tried to live as long as I can Forgotten by a familiar few To disappear, and start anew I’ll disappear into the fog Congested by the smoke and smog I’ll find a way to find my peace For this mortal coil is up for lease I’ll disappear into the fog Congested by the smoke and smog I’ll take my final breath alone For my sins are too grand to atone I’ll disappear into the fog

about

Taking off from the legacy left by bands such as Lifelover or Grey Waters / Autumn's Dawn, on their debut full-length Defaitism leaps even further into contaminating their DSBM roots with emotive indie-rock melodies and mannerisms.

The result is an album that is as catchy as it's desperate, songs launched in a breathless run full of memorable hooks, riffs and refrains. No gimmicks, no hype, just the raw and timeless power of songs crafted with care and genuine emotion.
