My rescue mission failed
Never needed in the first place
Maybe some other time
I float
Balance is a second thought
Hidden till the very end
But then again
Grace
Stamped on a battered face
Once in a lifetime this
Doesn’t fail to make sense
Maybe some other time
Smile
This should be the remedy
or otherwise a safe resort
It’s in the mind
It’s in the mind
That’s what they kept saying but I never chose to listen
cause I thought this knowledge was ingrained
And there was nothing really to embrace
All is in the mind, is in the mind
I’m, inside out, a thing in itself and as a thing in itself
I never get to learn anything else
No not a chance
Pass through me
I’ll take no offense
I’ll just get to keep the best of you for myself
All in all, it’s in the mind
Nowhere else but in the mind
Never satellites have shone so bright
As in this pitch-black night
Stranded in a minefield, I’m alright
And I’ll stay here till the tide goes high
And no matter what time tells
To the dwellers of ivory towers
We’re those others
Who are hell
It was nice knowing you
It was nice solving you
It was nice inventing you
And it was nice leaving you behind / It was nice living as a dream in you
My rescue mission failed
But the greater the void
The more it can contain
So come what may
There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021
