Lyric

Marvellous Destruction

DRAWSTRING, SOMBRA, BLACKUR0

Time won’t take me on

Where do they go

What am I waiting for

Something in the way keeps you infatuated

Many things changed

Maybe I overthink

Ignorance isn’t bliss, until it’s in retrograde

Now I don’t feel the same

Like when I had it all

Some marvellous destruction

Breaking every mindful defence

Sink in to the bluest roaring blaze

In time we all stand down

I’ve done it all

Give up on me

(Give up on me now)

Who know’s where I will go

And I’m not sorry

Feet on the ground

With our heads underwater

When the fade comes around

Realign, is it clearer?

We’re awake in the clouds

But we dream on the surface

And the world’s breaking down

Tell a lie to the mirror

(Let go)

I might have been seeking

For some marvellous destruction

Blackout like the light in my eyes

No room for the sun to slip inside

In time we all stand down, right?

All your hopes and dreams

Words slipping off your tongue unconsciously

In time we all must witness make believe

Contort into a lung and

Try to breathe

    TRANQUILIZER

    DRAWSTRING, SOMBRA, BLACKUR0

Formed by two active solo artists based in Japan, DRAWSTRING is creating a new cyberpunk sound with their distorted energy and dark, aggressive style. Their self-titled debut, "DRAWSTRING" features three tracks and explores an apocalyptic narrative from different perspectives. The EP delves into a spectrum of emotions such as love, hatred, and anger, facing them head-on and struggling through them, while plunging into the depths. As the music progresses, it discovers beauty in the end of the world, redefining "life" amidst despair and chaos. This EP serves as an entry point to DRAWSTRING's music, embracing a soundscape and theme that explore an uncertain future, while singing about a reality that cannot be negated.

Artist Profile

  • DRAWSTRING

    DRAWSTRING is a collaborative duo formed in 2024 by SOMBRA and BLACKUR0, two active solo artists based in Japan. SOMBRA, a musician and producer originally from Canada, blends influences from 90s alternative grunge & industrial with underground house and trip-hop. The resulting music is introspective and claustrophobic, yet diverse and colourful, with his signature dynamic performances resonating with audiences in Tokyo's music scene and beyond. Solo singer-songwriter and music creator BLACKUR0 is known for her genre-spanning approach and impressive track record as a composer. The compositions feature intricate song structures, soaring choruses, and rich analog synthesizer layers, all underscored by her signature catchy yet melancholic melodies. The two share a distorted sound and a dark, aggressively moody style of expression, combining to craft a cyberpunk-esque dystopia that channels negative emotion into powerful, transformative energy.
