Under My Skin

You're under my skin
So where do I begin
To cut you out
Untether me from the clouds
I know I need to grow up
I know I need to show up and I'm
Starting to see straight
About time...
So let's
Strip down to our underwear
Cut off all our long hair
Run out and get wives
Do something with our lives
Paint our names on each others chests
Make meals for our new houseguests
Watch our kids grow up and...
And...
Shit...
I'm not ready for this...

Home
Gives you another chance
You always seem to squander
Happy ever after
That's what fairy tales are for
Or for scaring the children
For nightmares in their sleep
To keep their voices shaking
Seen but never heard
Getting out our heads
Watch electric screens just
In our lonely beds
In Hollywood they dread you because
You know love's not just
A black and white light in a starlet's eyes
She's broken
She's terrified
She's over this now
And we look on with bated breath
Guns
She's the girl in the riot
Bikini Kill and violence
Sparks and elocution
Protesting who we are
And what we're becoming
But dreams always get her down
They never seem to happen
It's what fairy tales are for
Getting out her head
Watch electric screens just
In her lonely bed
In Hollywood they dread her because
She knows love's not just
A black and white light in a starlet's eyes
She's broken
She's terrified
She's over this now
And we look on with bated breath
We could love you
We could keep you safe
And you could stay here
With me

Silence Isn't

Sandpaper and castles
Don't look away
Don't feel how you're feeling
Anxiety turns tables
The best laid plans may run from me now
And oh
It takes time to assimilate
The thoughts that are in my head
Oh, it takes time to facilitate
They swarm around me
Well,
Silence isn't golden
If it's chosen
By the other
I conceded
I deceived you
I release you
From the burdens
I had given
You can give up...
So swansong pictures in dayglo
A neon shine on the face on an angel
I'd give that girl a stable
If she didn't want horses running free, yeah
And oh
It takes time to assimilate
The thoughts that are in my head
Oh, it takes time to facilitate
They swarm around me
I feel I'm drowning
Well,
Silence isn't golden
If it's chosen
By the other
I conceded
I deceived you
I release you
From the burdens
I had given
You can give up..
Dumb
Like a gun in the hands
Of a young animal
Just a boy panicking
Eyes so wide
Against the night closing in
Silence isn't golden
If it's chosen
By the other
I conceded
I deceived you
I release you
From the burdens
I had given
You can give up..
So swansong pictures in dayglo
A neon shine on the face on an angel

Scrupulosity

Where was I before I was
I was
Floating down from heaven above
Oh my
Oh my
Oh I
Cut my tongue and my cheek
Oh I
Played strings all through your prayers
Oh my
Oh my
Oh I
And I wrote my secrets down in this here black book and I
Curse you for listening and daring to look
Oh my
Oh my
Oh I
As my face shone light down upon you
You ran and you ran and you ran and you ran
Oh my
Oh my
Oh I
Hallelujah to me
I'll never know
I'll never know...

Hidoux Oxford, UK
Rising artist Hidoux creates music designed to be a twist on the formulas of Pop Music. His albums are often stylistically mixed, ranging from "bop-y" and dance-able Electropop full of buzzing synths, to Psychedelic Rock and Acoustic music focused on texture and lyrics. Always willing to experiment and always pushing forward. ... more
Hidoux recommends:
The Live Stream Sessions
by Liana Condor
Acoustic guitar driven loop music that is passionate, honest and perhaps most importantly - catchy.
go to album
Often experimental, always heartfelt. Beginning a new album from this artist is "like a box of chocolates". But no matter the flavour, it always tastes damn good.
