Nervy angst-rock with manic, slightly fractured lyrics
electronica progressive rock eclectic quartet strang anthemic
Artist picture
Eclectic, intelligent rock-driven tunes with big guitars and more than a hint of electronica give us a sound unlike any other band.
The Strang Quartet formed (officially) in Cambridge UK in 2003, consisting of long-time friends Martin (guitars and vocals) and Julian (drums, keyboards, guitars and production). Our mission statement: to make deep, meaningful, noisy sounds for the delectation of ourselves and others.

Story behind the song
This song is about the sick, cynical side of our personalities that think the unthinkable and say the unsayable, and turn nice things into horrid things. We keep this side hidden from everyone we know, a lurking dark secret. This is another old song, remixed and mastered. Sound quality is OK, but not ideal.
Lyrics
[u]Verse 1[/u] Twist and turn and wax and wane Crash and burn and flash of pain Glass half full of cold butane Nerve induction to my brain Drink it deep await the spark You take light and burn it dark [u]Chorus[/u] Can... can you see all sides Can... can you see everything Those things you love and loved and yet to come Those things that made you sing And those you'd rather not have seen Showing on your private movie screen Twisted [u]Verse 2[/u] Yin and yang and black and white Two sides of coin of day and night Watch the sun and see it fade Watch bright edge turn into blade Grasp cold hilt in scented fear Twist and thrust and end it here [u]Mid 8[/u] Twisted words and twisted visions Flip the coin and make decisions Twist and turn and crash and burn and Yin and yang and black and white and Torsion stress and strain of right and Friction burns all good tonight Freedom scream from vision blight Twisted. [u]Verse 3[/u] Twist and turn skin rip and tear Take the truth and strip it bare Take the sweet and bleed it sour Grasp the flame absorb the power Turn the tables stack the odds Sacrifice to loving Gods
