about

“Skyscrapers" looks at the challenges of living in the city. It’s about our love and frustration of Boston. Nights of friendship & music paired with high rents & 60 hour work weeks just to make ends meet. It’s a constant struggle between wanting to be in Boston for the music scene and wondering if our time is being wasted working our youths away.

lyrics

Pushed against the pavement
Kicked to the curb
The time that we wasted
I don't wanna be here anymore

Walked up to the fifteenth floor
And I was feeling kind of sore
As a matter fact
I was pretty sure
That I didn't want to see you anymore
Now here I am
Where I stand
Did you have a different plan
In the high rise
Shine like a night light
Now in hindsight
I was looking for the right fight
And I might have just struck dynamite
Higher than a kite
Following the blueprints
Didn't mean to be nuisance
But if the shoe fits
I ain't gonna be the one with the loose lips
Left looking useless
Clueless
It's abusive
Stupid and foolish
And I don't need your two cents
So you can laugh now
Or we can both cry later
But I can't hear you while I'm sitting on my skyscraper

You could scrape the sky with your eyes if you tried
Find me in the city lights
Tonight

Together they create dynamic electropop that embraces sounds of the past in order to look forward; incorporating the glitchy 8-bit chiptune sounds that accompanied adolescent days spent playing Gameboys, and reinvigorating them amongst contemporary synth. ... more
