I see you ahead like always, Gulls call like screams outside the window Memories of nights spent With dreams drenched in static A silver shoreline, a stoned overpass I see you ahead along the ocean path Memories of nights spent falling in & out of dreams Sheer cliffs and I’m falling down beneath We raised ourselves We bathed ourselves (In cold silver waters) Memories of nights spent…
3.
(I am all the things that you wanted me to be, I am all the things that I wanted to be) Washed out body… Am I dying... Arms numb... For a decade now I have felt like this I want a normal life But my past sides keep me paralysed Complex emotions down to asides Years of trauma keep me misaligned Washed out body, constant stress Am I dying, or already dead? Arms numb, paths depressed For a decade now I have felt like this Float away with me Drifting now in sleep The pressure builds slowly Depression marks so deep Washed out body, constant stress Am I dying, or already dead? Arms numb, paths depressed For a decade now I have felt like this…
4.
Moments haunt me from the background I’m drowning now, whatever that means, I’m done My heart on the outside, all I wanted was a lie Fall too deep, like inside me I can’t see, I can’t sleep Ducked out now because I fucked up then Meant to say I cared & I was here But vacancy rings out, I’m so done now Moments haunt me from the background I’m drowning now, whatever that means, I’m done My heart on the outside, I’m done & all I wanted was a lie (From codeine opal dreams / you’re waking me)
5.
(Feels like curses surround my life) Come hold this hand… It’s cold, too late So I’m a light body on a lake Mistakes I made in water graves They haunt me more than I could say

Selfless 03:06
Selfless like always but still fine Selfish on most days, holding pain inside I hate myself alive, but I don’t want to lie I don’t care about money I don’t care about love (I’ve never felt alright) I just want to be OK I just want to be touched (or not) Selfish like always Selfish on most days, held inside Nothing is good enough No high is strong enough Dim light is blinding to my eyes Life veiled in all black (no light) This is cremation This is a cleansing This is our station Our faith never-ending

Here’s the part where I’m meant to reflect I’ve got notes I don’t want to forget There’s a page that inside of my head Hard to read, but I think it says… There’s this mess that’s inside my head Like just before you break down from stress Like water filling your lungs under duress Like when you feel an anchor weight deep in your chest (heaven looms) Tell me anything Tell me everything Tell me anything, Just fucking tell the truth; I’m lazy and I’m a mess I feel like I live less and less… So tell me anything, tell me I could fill a lake full of my mistakes I could fill an ocean full of my aches

about

Cremation Lily’s “Dreams Drenched in Static” exists at the horizon of consciousness and heavy experimental music. Through the use of frenetic vocal melodies, tape degradation, and guitar noise, the album documents the liminal moments at the edge of sleep, and the distressing thoughts that often accompany late-night R.E.M. disturbances. The lyrics were largely written at three in the morning and serve to evoke the depression and meditations on death that seem to haunt these early hours.

Based in London, England, Cremation Lily is the project of Zen Zsigo. Like many Flenser artists, the work of Cremation Lily is difficult to classify. The project began in 2009 as sample-based ambient music, but has evolved to incorporate more rock-oriented guitar instrumentation and influence from a wide range of genres such industrial, shoegaze, tape loops, noise, and power electronics.

Although rooted in electronic music, Cremation Lily shares similarities with Flenser artists like Planning For Burial and Have a Nice Life, as well as black metal. "Dreams Drenched in Static" is the first Cremation Lily album to rely primarily on guitar and vocal-based contributions, and is the project’s most intentional and developed work to date.
