Crystal Castles – Vanished

With the Juno Awards less than a week away, I felt like highlighting anotherAnother Year reviews artist from this year’s group of nominees.  The Canadian experimental electronic duo Crystal CastlesCrystal Castles reviews is nominated for the 2009 New Group of the Year award, alongside acts such as BeastThe Beast reviews, Plants and Animals, and The Stills.  Vanished can be found on the band’s self-titled first full-length release.  Although I’m not a “practicing” electronic fan, there is something strangely addicting about the Crystal Castles sound, and this song in particular.

In the dark , We come out and play
We are its children, And were here to stay
Running through , Hungry for strays
No invitation, take me away
Im not cruel, But thats still what you see
Club to club, Come see this city with me
Hungry for life, Without your pity
I dont want it, But you give it

still cant say she wont start up
still cant say she wont start up a fight
you go city
cause in the city of life she cant she cant wait

In the darkness, A killer awaits
To kill a life, And the lies you make
You do another, So this death can live
Just keep on dancing, To the movie your in
The smell of your sweat, Just lures me in
Your heartbeat, Does sing to me
running feet, Beats my blood
My ghost inside you, Soon will be

still cant say she wont start up
still cant say she wont start up a fight
you go city
cause in the city of life she cant she cant wait

hungry for strays, hungry for life, no invitate your pity
(x8)

i dont want sex but you give it

still cant say she wont start up
still cant say she wont start up a fight
you go city
cause in the city of life she cant she cant wait( x2)

Now its over, You’ve taken your life
The dark grows thin, And I’m left to hide
I don’t regret it, But its sad anyway
Now were both dead, And scared of the black
This life of games, And diligent trust
Its the things we do, Or the things we must
Im now tired of being cussed
So go sleep forever end to dust
