Comforting Sounds

To my Midnight Angel, in memory of better times.


If you have not noticed, I do not like to upload live concert clips, but this is the only snippet that features the longer, more complete version of this song. Besides, if this is any indication how cool a Mew concert looks, feel and sounds like, I can't wait for them to drop by Malaysia, as unlikely as that maybe.


I don't feel alright in spite of these comforting sounds you make.
I don't feel alright because you make promises that you break.
Into your house, why don't we share our solitude?
Nothing is pure anymore but solitude.

It's hard to make sense, feels as if I'm sensing you through a lens.
If someone else comes, I'd just sit here listening to the drums.
Previously I never called it solitude.

And probably you know all the dirty shows I've put on.
Blunted and exhausted like anyone.
Honestly I tried to avoid it. Honestly.

Back when we were kids, we would always know when to stop.
And now all the good kids are messing up.
Nobody has gained or accomplished anything.

City Voices


From the sounds of approaching footsteps
I got scared that it wasn't you
I had heard ‘bout that thing that happened
Still I hope that it wasn't true

But there in the dark
Voices call out someone's name
Have you heard ‘bout the city voices
Voices that tell you secrets?

Your eyes told of a million memories
Your mouth spoke of a million things

I said you were cool
You said 'no', I asked you why
You said don't trust the city voices
Voices that fill you with lies

You said don't trust the city voices
Voices that fill you with lies

Behind the Drapes


All of us now
Dent as we fall
To amorous light
We call out

Why are we so alone
Even with company?
If not the moon
Will us guide
Will then the street light?

All of us now
Breathe it like smoke
To know what it's like
Breathing to choke

Well for nine days
A small moth has
Tried to escape
Our bedroom

Why are we so alone
Even with company?
We are the prey
For each day
A striking distance

Why are we so alone
Even with company?
If not the moon
Will us guide
Will then the street light?

Why are we so alone
Even with company?
We ought to pray
For each day
A striking distance
