Leida (Seven Synth City)

from The Cold Side of the Pillow by The Quixotes

about

The title track.

lyrics

Leida, keep me in a burrow of cotton
With people who go bump in the night
They who must make believe
Pray to the holy synths of yore
Who speak unto a future
In which they felt so sure
Yet they all talk in fallacy

Dark eyes, closed against the pillow
They scan the empty room for their dæmons
Find a shadow curled up against the curtains
Where someone very friendly
Could be accidentally murdered
And the sound is looking out for me

If you touch me
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s removing me
In moments, I’ll forget

When I hide from you
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s cooling me
For a moment, I forget

Blue light shimmers anaglypta
A roar of wind overhead
Deep within the glare of night
I’m somewhere hidden in the spotlight
Visually seamless transients
Are to coming to reason with me
Leida, if I lose my sleep
In a living, synthesized city
Desynchronized in time and devotion

If you catch me
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s moving me
In moments I forget

When I hide from you
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s cooling me
For a moment, I forget

Seven synth city
Seven synth city
Well, come in, you’re so pretty
When Leida’s had what Leida can never have

And I look for you
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s removing me
From the moments I forget

You’re still deceiving me
From the cold side of the pillow
When the cold side of the pillow
Still gets warm

It still gets warm
