new song | Bella Lune

Our new song ‘Up The Down Escalator’ was just released today, Friday, June 10, 2022. You can stream it anywhere or download it directly from us at Bandcamp.

This song, originally by The Chameleons in 1983, is so ahead of it’s time lyrically, and very appropriate for the times that we are living in now. Our version was initially released on the 2021 Stranger Times tribute album by Coitus Interruptus Productions, featuring Bestial Mouths, Sol Sirenn, and many other talented artists. Mark Burgess of The Chameleons said “Wow Escalator is GREAT”. This particular version was remixed for official release in 2022. We hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

I’m gazing at faces staring blankly at me
Oh, I suppose it’s just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I’ve seen it end a million times
I lost my direction while dodging the flack
Oh, give me a hint or something
If I could freeze time at the flick of the switch
I wouldn’t hesitate, no

There must be something wrong, boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results
Yes, teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures and dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought
They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ’s sake leave me something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
Oh, there must be a way

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys
There must be something wrong, boys
They’re dragging me down

Eden, there’s no Eden
Anyway

They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ’s sake, leave us something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long will it take

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys
There must be something wrong, boys
And they’re dragging me down

…and they’re dragging me down
And they’re dragging me down
You either swim or you drown

Our cover of ‘Cold’ by The Cure is available now exclusively on Bandcamp! It will be streaming everywhere else later this month.

‘Cold’ was written and originally performed by The Cure. We decided to cover it as part of our set in a livestream performance hosted by Out Of This World The Cure Italia. The performance did well on YouTube, so we decided it needed to be released officially. ‘Cold’ has been a favorite of mine for many years. Of all the bands that I love, The Cure will always be #1. No one will ever take their place. – Fuchsia

Lyrics:

Scarred, your back was turned, curled like an embryo
Take another face, you will be kissed again
I was cold as l mouthed the words and crawled across the mirror
And wait, await the next breath

Your name like ice into my heart

A shallow grave, a monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes and eyes like ice don’t move
Screaming at the moon, another past time

Your name like ice into my heart

Everything as cold as life. Can no one save you?
Everything as cold as silence and you will never say a word.

Your name like ice into my heart
