lyrics

Lone Motel

oh well so here we are
it has come to this…this

an ungrateful death at a slow motel
you stand staring longingly down the hall
littered with preoccupied portraits of self idolisation
hanging on by tooth and nail
the sickly green polyester carpet
a reminder what promise that prevails

out in the yard
lone cars
empty magazines
open windows
closed minds
hair in the wind
locked doors
stagnant hours for every slow moving century
screens… escaping distant visions
rustily stranded scenes of a fading arcade

hope
you entertained for a while
hope
birds of paradise
like postcards from a distant movie
and parental lullabies
live the endless night

circular traditions
galleries full of frustrated fearful faces
until one escapes
and moves south

and now here we are
and you find yourself

so here you find yourself
and it has come to this
you know you had your chance to chuck a “u”-ey
but what’s the point?
if you don’t even know who is who or what is what anymore!?
instead you are running, screaming at a hundred miles an hour
fast away, down the highway, drown the high way
knowing that this town ain’t yours anymore

Magnus Sydney, Australia

Sydney band  Magnus formed in 2012 to bring their urgency, fearlessness in experimentation and healthy disregard for genres to Australian music.  

“The band clearly likes to tease and with terrific self-confidence in their undoubted abilities the approach does create a lively anxiousness within their music." - The Sydney Morning Herald ... more
