about

SDR brings you Starstruck’s election eve dystopian anthem, “New Paris”.

Written and produced by Zack O’Brien (Starstruck), finished with additional production from friends and collaborators Jordan Mclean, Rachel Z, and Omar Hakim.

We want this music to bring you some of the comfort and catharsis that it has for the team that brought it to life. Here’s hoping that its relevance fades with time.

lyrics

Staring at the map
Calculating risk and making models
Preparing for the sirens
I’m at a loss for where to go
Build a house out of sticks and clay and watch it sink into the sea

We tell ourselves we’ll change
But half the fun is breaking promises
We tell ourselves we’ll change
But we all missed the boat and now we’ll watch it sail away

I can smell it in the air
Got that fuck face everywhere
I’ve never wanted years to pass so bad
California’s drying up

Miami’s underwater
Vegas was a blast, it was never gonna last
Then the earth will open up, swallow sons and daughters
Don’t say I didn’t warn you

Staring at the soil
Formulating plans for our new future
With chance of life eroding as we speak
I’m at a loss for where to go,
Build a life out of love and play and watch it slowly fade away

We tell ourselves we’ll change
But half the fun is breaking promises
I can smell it in the air
Got that fuck face everywhere
I’ve never wanted years to pass so bad
If you can think about anything else these days…

California’s drying up
Miami’s underwater
Vegas was a blast, it was never gonna last
Then the earth will open up, swallow sons and daughters
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
Oh, don’t say I didn’t warn you
