lyrics

Where you with me
In that dream?
Felt so familiar but not quite what it seemed
Wish I could find a way to play back all those scenes
Memory’s not what it used to be

Faded photographs
I keep in frames
The colour slowly disappearing from the page
The words we spoke
The way we changed
How much of it all remains?

I hold you against me
Again
And feel your heart beat quicken with our steps
Try to forget this moment will pass
Keep us held in our arms
As we dance dance dance

The image breaks and distorts across the screen
A gentle entropy of red, blue, and green
It passes by me
The pictures gone
Is this another moment lost?

But was there something more
Than the light revealed
A sense of recognition
That was kept concealed
And did I see the spark
Of who I used to be
And will I ever see it again

Oh please don’t play back
All those out of focus nights
Keep them away, my love
Keep our arms closed tight

We can connect the dots
Between all our lives
And look for meaning in their scenes
But when I feel your pulse
Beating next to mine
How fragile it all seems

I hold you close against my chest
And feel your breath quicken with our passing steps
Try to forget this moment won’t last
Keep us held in our arms
As we dance
We keep returning
To where we began
And let the music take us onwards once again
Try to remember
This all will pass
And keep you safe inside my arms
As we dance dance dance

Rupt and Flex (1994 - 96)
by Seefeel

supported by 4 fans who also own “We Dance”

As a band, they were really doing something strange at the time by making music that sounded so resolutely like it came from the bedroom of a solo producer. "Vocals" are just snatches of floating sound, drums are often electronic... all the instruments sound electronic. They were clearly inspired by dub (who isn't) and started with stripped-down fragments, but then kept whittling down from there. Mood-wise they're bleak yet beautiful, like enjoying a solo walk in an industrial landscape. Jascha Narveson
