I should have known Your heart it’s made of stone Well I should have known better A sudden change of weather Cast in the storm Well I’d rather turn to fight I’d rather fall tonight As I sit and burn the page Will it fill my heart with rage Now I don’t mind If you look her way I’m done trying No more playing Baby, I never cared Cause I’m done trying All is said and done If you look her way I’m done trying To find what I lost in you Well I’d rather turn to fight I’d rather fall tonight As I sit and burn the page Will it fill my heart with rage Cause I should have known better I should have known

Oh, I’ve fallen A lonely cell to be locked in Oh, you know it It’s hard enough to show it And I never dreamed if it all came true And I’d bend my hand for you Oh, you know it It’s hard enough to show it I know if it happens here It would all Be for nothing But it’s all I know I’m alone
3.
Every hammer, every axe Every anvil and stone He strikes the ground I hear it burn I feel better Oh I know this day will come my way I know farther west, they ask his name But you don’t know what I saw A blow of his axe and it’s done They ask, honey Is it true? What they said of you The ringing of steel, I’ll never hear A wave breaks, the gulls they cry He once was mine Oh I knew this day would come my way I know farther west, they ask his name Did you turn from me? Did you turn to him? A wave breaks, the gulls they cry He once was mine
4.
He tells me I’m all he’s got He tells me He loves me I’m gonna leave him I know That I won’t be the last To look in That I won’t be the last To look in He tells me He thinks about me He tells me There’s no one he’d rather see But I know, I know That I won’t be the last To hold him That I won’t be the last To hold him I told him The feeling’s come and gone I knew all along Someone’s waiting I told him I knew right from the start That in my heart I won’t keep waiting

Other Realm 02:57
Oh Take me there Oh You come back down for a minute The days are all done But would you still come if I told you Nothing matters anymore I, I’ve got nothing left without you Nothing matters anymore Oh I’m nothing without my lover The days are all done I’ve got nothing left to bare The days are all done Oh, you came along to say Nothing matters anyway I, I never dreamed until I saw you Nothing matters anymore

Blank Card 03:45
Have mercy I felt it all You’ve come back After your fall You take a lot of time I’d do it all again You take a lot of time Out from it all and then You call on me Tell me it’s all I’m blinded by my own sun I’m blinded by my only one There’s no one left To blame You turn back on me It’s the same When you’re looking at me I can’t tell If you’re on my side Or if you fell You call on me Tell me it’s all I’ve thrown in my blank card and now it’s done I’m blind I’m blind for you

Lullaby II 03:17
I’ve written senseless things A wicked line But, I I just stare at choices I know heaven will break I saw you and you looked so sweet My heart is really on it’s knees And I saw the whole world As my arrow pierced the earth And I dreamt I would never leave My heart is really on it’s knees And I saw the whole world In his hands it stood Would you look at every hour I wonder how your heart’s so easy to break?
9.
I belong somewhere I’ve never seen I could walk a while Just tell me where How far is that? No reason why I’ve come for nothing And you’ve a name That rhymes with nothing On a plain out somewhere I thought I’d never Lose sight of the flame But I feel lost today Oh, I’m nothing For what? I’ve come all this way I’ve got nothing left to break I hold on helplessly I’ve got a new love to bring My heart won’t sing It’s a treasure You’ll see the pain that you’re in A blade and a pin As I strike the passing light Oh, I’m nothing I thought I’d come all this way I’ve got a new love baby And it’s my heart

Vœu 04:28
New without old Youth without age Is this the sound of one hand clapping? Or the ritual chant of Halflings Not a drop to affect Protostar, feast for no iris New without old Youth without age Heartthrob, demigod Hand to mouth, on the ground Proving us wrong (New without old) Best drink on earth (Youth without age) I saw a fool (Trade secrets for lies) Keeps with the pack (Dreams to be sold) Not a drop to affect Light pools within chalice Old without new Age without youth Trusting disease Smoke rises high Betwixt and between Speak unto filth I sought power Hand in the fire Held so high Will it break Made to touch Thwarted lust One eye closed

about

Anna Arrobas makes cinematic, swamp-dredged heartbreak ballads. Her band consists of Anna, Shane Hoy, Jesse Osborne-Lanthier, and Asaël Richard-Robitaille. Their upcoming record, Made To Touch, is the result of 2 years of scrupulous, hand-wrung production, mixing, and performance in the EA studios. The compositions range from ornamental melodic dreampop, to evocative otherworldly tearjerker folk, to dense “wall of sound” instrumentations inspired by shoegaze and sludge metal, united by Anna’s haunting falsetto, cinematic barrages of intricate guitar, laced throughout immersive synths leads and glacial shimmering electronics.
