about

"The Chicago-based duo Desert Liminal play with hypnosis, and their latest single “Pipedream” is no exception to their spells. With vintage synths, breathy vocals, and a darker take on dream pop, the band creates an ambient, thoughtful space for us to get lost in their sounds."

- Culture Collide

lyrics

some pipedream came to choke you out, right?
slut siren sang to shake you down

punk viper fame done sold you out, right?
fake savior failed to serve you right

the lake lay like a dream i had, left sunsick in the bath
the waveforms bore a night terror, enough to shake and laugh
all through, a truer truth washed out of you
you couldn't laugh, you couldn't

laugh, you couldn't
laugh, you could
laugh, you couldn't
laugh, you could

who sold you folktale hope and false sight?
bankrolled you home and called you mine

droll soulless joke's still selling high, right?
slow chase the grave and call that time
