Hole in the Tide

Dan Ainslie Startlingly fresh take on synth-pop/industrial song writing & production tropes so prevalent these days in a lesser form than what's on display here. This is wholly unironic, and unbelievably masterful from every angle of regard! If you like this check out Eric's other work as 'The Sky Lit Up' and 'Zephyr Nova'. Favorite track: Beyond the Blue.

Time slipped away from me Without a word into the night I tried to chase it down Down with a pill and a glass of wine Dropped through a hole in the tide Tossed in the waves like a lost satellite Racing my heart's hypnotized Climbing the ocean to the sky Catching the light Time slipped away from you Swept through the cracks that creak in the floor Left where the sun goes down And we don't come around anymore Dropped through a hole in the tide Tossed in the waves like a lost satellite Beat of my heart paralyzed Still as the ocean to the sky Catching the light Keep it in a jar Animals that try to tame the wild We are Trying to survive Wanting to be more than what we find In time We are alive Dropped through a hole in the tide Tossed in the waves like a lost satellite Weight of my heart open wide Tried to find peace in a past paradise Time slipped away in the night Riding the ocean to the sky Caught by the light

It's a perfect storm I know It's a perfect storm I know Isolate, afraid, the centre still remains Oh but you won't stop until it ends in flames Once again I felt the shadow fall I felt the shadow fall Unravel all the parts that had once kept you whole Desire turned backward Will become the absence of love It's a perfect storm I know It's a perfect storm I know Oscillate between extremities contained Oh but you could not be long without the rain Wash away I heard the lie untold Unravel all the parts that had once kept you whole Desire turned backward Will become the absence of love (Ooowoowoowoo etc.) Unravel all the parts that had once kept you whole Desire turned backward Will become the absence of love

Wiser is the man who plays the fool Wiser is the man who plays the fool He thought he had the perfect plan but that was just a ruse Wiser is the man who won't refuse Unresolved resolute Blank mind dissolves Fallen through Fallen through Beyond the blue Madness seeks the mob that makes the rules Madness seeks the mob that makes the rules He thought he was the chosen one but he was just confused Madness is the mob that breaks the fool Disconnect me from you Blank heart dissolves Fallen through Fallen through Beyond the blue Storm is in the eye behind the blue Storm is in the eye behind the blue A needle in the eye behind the blue Bloodshot in the eye beyond the blue Beauty seeks the eye beyond the blue Beauty seeks the eye beyond the blue Beauty seeks the eye beyond the blue Beauty seeks the eye beyond the blue

Another world I don't want to lose Another life I don't want to choose Ahh If you won't let me in If you won't need me again Well as you want it, as you wish Glow and fade Walk away I'll walk away Another road won't lead back to you Another dream gave up for the truth If you won't let me in If you won't need me again Well as you want it, as you wish Glow and fade Walk away I'll walk away Still wandering Still wandering

Further we go Through the unknown Blank as the air Where the wind blows Border to border Painted windows Bolder and bolder Tracing shadows Run for cover The unwavering sound Of starting over And the noise surrounds Faster we go Through the unknown Born to the age Of unreason Lover to stranger Painted windows Law of disorder Upraising shadows Falling over Every moment so long Each day grows older And then passes on Unfading everchanging This love won't be bound Only lost Unyielding, resonating It all goes around In this unfading everchanging Our love won't be found Just forgot

Everyone has somewhere to go Everybody doesn't make it alone Love to stay but I like to roam Don't say you don't We've been living in this strange carnival All the rides they move to slow Lining up for one more show People come and go It's a lonely world, I know Nobody has a lot to prove No one ever wants a habit to lose Hate to leave but I had to move Find something new We've been living in this strange carnival All the rides they move to slow Lining up for one more show Watch them come and go It's the only world I know All the flashing lights are Burning out like dying stars Won't you lead me through the dark tomorrow Every night has a dream or two I'll see you soon Living in this strange carnival All the rides they move to slow Lining up for one more show People come and go It's the only world I know
