Lucid Lyrics

I vividly recall this feeling
That I'd never become unchained
From all those times before
When the hurt would pulsate

But I've reached new heights
Death is for the foolish
And now I know
I've finally woken up

It was a cold night
When it came to me
I knew I should and I wanted to
Let you go

I don't have time for goodbyes
I don't have patience for apologies
I've finally woken up
I've finally woken up

But I've been feeling far too free
To cage myself again
I want to give myself to everyone
Don't wait outside my window anymore
And please remember this
I promised you nothing more

Easy on the pressure
I've been there before
It's not happening again
This time it's different the conversation's real
Unlike you were back then
I've reached new heights
Death is for the foolish
And now I know
I've finally woken up

But I've been feeling far too free
To cage myself again
I want to give myself to everyone
Don't wait outside my window anymore
And please remember this
I promised you nothing more

Iron Years: A Darkwave Journey Through Passion and Pain

Delve into the hypnotic world of Iron Years, a darkwave and post-punk-inspired collective hailing from the vibrant Little Village neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. Born amidst a kaleidoscope of diverse musical influences and the poignant realities of urban life, Iron Years embodies an unrelenting desire to create and express. The band's unique sound is a reflection of their passion for Latin American and inner-city beats, as well as their emotional connection to the struggles surrounding them.

With a sonic tapestry that weaves together elements of post-punk, freestyle, synth-pop, house, industrial, and various dance genres, Iron Years is not confined by a single musical style. Instead, their pulsating soundscapes are a testament to their dynamic lived experiences, fueled by the universal themes of anguish, desolation, heartache, and ultimately, hope.

Iron Years captivates listeners with a foundation of electronic drums and pads, bolstered by driving post-punk bass lines that propel their songs forward. Ethereal, dreamy guitar melodies invite a trance-like state, complemented by synth arrangements reminiscent of vintage Italo records. As the band's post-punk exterior gives way to their undeniable Chicago house and dance influences, Iron Years lures us into their alluring world, orchestrating the soundtrack to our deepest desires and igniting an irresistible urge to move.
