lyrics

SYSTEM OF PLEASURE
(John von Ahlen)

Chant
Oh-way-oh-way-oh x4

Verse 1
I’m in a hurry, but I’m waiting for nothing
It doesn’t make sense, my life was meant to be something

Pre Chorus 1
But are you waiting for the morning light?
Do you think it’s better in the afterlife?

Chorus
My Life meant nothing, till I met you
A true believer, misunderstood
Now I share my feelings with the world

Repeat Chant

Verse 2
Could I be wrong, maybe life’s not so amazing?
I should leave the house, but the truth is I’m lazy
Been waiting for days yeah

Pre Chorus 2
Who do you think you’re fooling, you don’t hold the treasure
We’re all trying to find it, a system of pleasure
So don’t be a fool!

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chant

Repeat Chorus x3
Repeat Chant

about

Parralox Melbourne, Australia

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more

This 5 track EP has been inspired by the crossover between ambient, techno, and pure sound design. Sounds amazing. John. Parralox

A Secret Place
by xPropaganda

supported by 27 fans who also own “System of Pleasure”

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray

Monsters
by Empathy Test

supported by 24 fans who also own “System of Pleasure”

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit
