her eyes like silken gemstones
perfectly cut they hold my gaze
look to my very center
my world is set ablaze
give it all away the night keeps calling
give it all away she screamed in vain
give it all away I can't stop falling
winds have changed now we're estranged
she trips the light fantastic
as we walk the darkening
move past the open windows
she runs from everything
give it all away the night keeps calling
give it all away she screamed in vain
give it all away I can't stop falling
winds have changed now we're estranged
she runs from everything
we walk the darkening
she runs from everything
and I stand alone
drove out into the desert
I couldn't say exactly where
parted ways just after sunset
it's now my cross to bear
give it all away the night keeps calling
give it all away she screamed in vain
give it all away I can't stop falling
winds have changed now we're estranged

we kiss in the winter
will I kiss her come spring
with the gait of a panther
she slipped in under my skin
obsidian marble
sparkle of pearl
the sinister beating
the swat and the curl
the hurt unintended
but I know what I did
I still don't remember
what she at the bridge
I made her a promise
that I couldn't keep
I slandered her name
when I was broken and weak
I'm in a battleground state
there is no leader here to determine my fate
that's not really me
that's not who I am
the taxi is waiting
it's goodbye with a slam
step any direction
is a step to the right
looking for answers
in the black of the night
I'm in a battleground state
there is no leader here to determine my fate

give it a name
call it illusion
give it a name as it tears you apart
it's such a shame you see no solution
all despair and a broken heart
The pain and the weeping
The weeping and the shame
the shame of keeping secrets
the only memories you saved
Give it a name
call it deception
She cunningly twisted in his sin
Open lies told in closed confessions
The anchor is fixed, she throws you in
The pain and the weeping
The weeping and the shame
the shame of keeping secrets
the only memories you saved
Give it a name
call it illusion
give it a name, and break the spell
You see it through to find a solution
You put on your gloves and give 'em hell
The pain and the weeping
The weeping and the shame
the shame of keeping secrets
the only memories you saved

about
The new album was something that was in the works pre-pandemic. It was completed amid the uncertainty of changing world.
This collection of songs deal with themes of self reflection, loneliness, and frustration, all wrapped in a hybrid cocktail of multi-era post punk and post modern indie rock - a catharsis of emotions in world that is slowly crawling back into the light.
Familiar territory for Random Parade.

about
Random Parade California
Alternative rock project, Random Parade, playing smoldering post punk, indie gloom rock, singed with some shoegaze guitars for good measure. Dark driving rhythms, reminiscent of She Wants Revenge, amid swirling guitars calling to mind Catherine Wheel and nerve tingling vocals somewhere between Peter Murphy and David Bowie. ... more
