Is it always gonna be this way Have you finished trying to make me pay I’m still in love with you, oh no I’m not ashamed I tried my best to make things right again But I said too much, so they did me in Now I just can’t watch the end begin He was your kind once, he was just like you Out looking for fun and getting screwed But he had no fall back, or gifts to come through Do you know that old saying if you’re in it for the fame Don’t sign nothing and change your name I thought you were me, I was you We were one and the same It isn’t always gonna be this way If you see him on the street, what will you say The disease of conceit, has led you all astray Up and down to the middle And I’ll go back for more It’s no riddle what you’re using me for I was almost honest and I’ll die a troubadour Who’s at your mercy now since I left the road Who’s shaping plans for a new tomorrow Who’s making you laugh Who’ll steal your sorrows All aboard the Glasgow train For a drunkards bail, you’ll ride in chains And you’ll crush each other just to stay in the game

about

The unshakeable belief in something that may or may not exist...DELUJN washes over like a slow sandstorm with the throbbing bass of RIDE IN CHAINS; an inventive soundscape of Desert-Dream-Pop/Rock. The aftermath of a misadventure, the rider can't see through the fog, the never-ending white line keeps twisting & disappearing on a wavering horizon, the driver is searching, hunting their other self.

You can feel the camaraderie to contemporary artists like Cat Power, Cass McCombs & Beach House as well as the influence of Boomer/Gen-X legends Chrissie Hynde, Neil Young and Echo & the Bunnymen. RIDE IN CHAINS is an instant driving classic; the song comes on like a ballad but lulls you into a trance with its pulsing rhythm & sinewy riffs, a neurotransmission of slinky keyboards & biorhythms straddling polychrome guitars, ripping through the desert with a hangover, headed back to an unruly reality.

Founded by multi-instrumentalist John Sklove and recorded in his furnace room studio, DELUJN's transportive sound morphs hallucinogenic folk, lopsided synth-pop and incendiary imagery. The song’s lyrics are preoccupied with colossal angst, half-truths, and the listless shock that the deep end is rather shallow. Self-defined as smooth-goth, add RIDE IN CHAINS to your favourite playlist now!
