Von Kaiser - ETA (Audio)
28Founded in 2018, Von Kaiser is a collection of three musicians who don’t just want to remember the music, movies and video games of the 1980s, they want to celebrate it. With their debut album “Landline”, Von Kaiser has created a vocal synthwave album that travels between the darkness of post apocalyptic futures, the innocence of high school prom dances, and the freedom of cruising the open road.
Lyrics:
They tell me It’s terminal, as the diagnosis sets in, with sinking dread, I feel so alone.
Two weeks to a month is all that’s left for me, and the treatment's not working and I can’t get out of bed.
I can’t tell how long I’ve been under, my mind is moving forward while my body’s in slumber.
I think about what it must be like out there.
Perhaps there’s a cure in the future ahead, they want to freeze me or I’m left for dead. How can I refuse? What should I do?
Time in slow motion as the years slip by,
Cryogenically trapped in my own mind
Waking up to a world I don’t recognize,
I can’t function here, please put me back.
This wasn’t the future we were supposed to have,
all the best of intentions disastrously planned,
I can’t stay here, it’s not my time
Send me back.
They’ve cured my illness, I'm finally free, As I wander these streets, I still feel diseased,
What happened to the world we left behind?
Perhaps there’s a cure in the future ahead, we have to do something or we’re all left for dead. How can we refuse?
What should I do?
