Lyric

TRANQUILIZER

DRAWSTRING, SOMBRA, BLACKUR0

How does it feel?

Safe, but there’s nothing to say

And never was there

Life is a lie anyway

Any second

Time moves she’s slow

Masquerades

It’s no secret

They are here to stay

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

This fire isn’t burning out

(Whoever said you’re better now)

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

This fire isn’t burning out

(Whoever said you’re better)

(使用上の注意をよく読み 用法用量を守って正しくお使いください)

It’s just a sweet getaway

Enjoy the view, you say

I can't remember what it feels like to be alive

Don't know where I've been walking from or to

Who is standing there (Woah)

(服用間隔は6時間以上…)

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

This fire isn’t burning out

(Whoever said you’re better now)

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

This fire isn’t burning out

(Whoever said you’re better)

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

This fire isn’t burning out

(Whoever said you’re better now)

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

Just ‘cause we think we’re better now

This fire isn’t burning out

(This fire isn’t burning)

Gotta get stopped by now

I gotta get stopped by now, hey

Gotta get stopped by now

I’m calling, crawling outta my mind

Gotta get it over with (Uh, huh)

I gotta get it over with

So tell me, tell me (What)

Tell me what to do with it now

All the things we do to stay alive

Yet never change our state of mind (Can you save me, oh)

The things we do to stay alive

Yet never change our state of mind

The things we do to stay alive

Yet never change our state of mind (Can you save me)

The things we do to stay alive

Yet never change our state of mind

    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.
