LYRICS:
Your eyes can touch me
Your scent can embrace me
Your voice can graze my skin
And that’s what I’ll miss most of all
I want to believe it ~
and trust what the body can know
But the body lies
Your eyes evade me
Your silence betrays me
The lies your body told were so unkind
And I couldn’t face it ~
I was a cliche, and behold
You couldn’t save my soul
I couldn’t face it
I couldn’t face what I know
The body lies
My body lied
Your body lied
The body lies
~
Your eyes can touch me
Your scent can embrace me
Your voice can graze my skin
And that’s what I’ll miss most of all
I want to believe it ~
and trust what the body can know
But the body lies
Your eyes evade me
Your silence betrays me
The lies your body told were so unkind
And I couldn’t face it ~
I was a cliche, and behold
You couldn’t save my soul
I couldn’t face it
I couldn’t face what I know
The body lies
My body lied
Your body lied
The body lies
~

The Uncanny Valley
by PERTURBATORsupported by 31 fans who also own “The Body Lies”
Disco Inferno is the best synthwave-esque track I've ever heard, and that says a lot.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10.
go to album -
An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur.
go to album -
The goth group head into heavier, more distorted territory on their latest, inspired by the folklore of the golem.
go to album -
A perfect slice of summer gloom for those hazy, overcast days when only baritone-voiced post-punk will do.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 26 fans who also own “The Body Lies”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
