Don’t let me drown
my rebel heart
Find the anonymous
My sacred art
Prey!
My eyes are wide open
Drowning in light
What I remember
I paint it bright
Torn by these worlds
My only friend
Filling the void
So endless the end
Dead birds are singing
The last curtain falls
Numb the emotion
Poisonous calls
Daylight has died
The dream never ends
Falling in darkness
Folding your hands
You flood my dreams with what I’m scared of
You only live when I’m asleep
You flood my dreams with what I’m scared of
You lose the faith in me, a faith I never had

I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV. realbibliodude
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Terrific minimalist synth music from Melbourne, where robotic electronics lock into rigid beats to make a Kraftwerkian wonder. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2021
