about

The first single from Cascade Lakes' upcoming debut album.

lyrics

You're stuck in a rut
You scratch on the surface
Misguided and lost
A victim to make believe
Past repair and hyperalert

You're quick to dismiss
A notion so foggy
A truth so profound
A well-masked assault it seems
Only to bring you to comply

Now the target is acquired
You better duck and run for cover
You fall for the promise
And that's fair, well, how could you not?

Be warned it only serves one purpose
To draw you in and slowly suck you dry

It's a travesty, it's a perverted means to an end
A silent offense, sure to trap you over time
It's a lot of things, it's just not what it appears to be
No saviour indeed, however genuine it feels
You're bound to learn it the hard way

There's forces at play
Too dark to imagine
Too cruel to foresee
An intricate web of lies
Taking shape before your own eyes

Make no mistake
You're picked for a reason
A pawn in a game
You weren't quite aware you played
Till it finally all falls into place

Now the target is acquired
You better duck and run for cover

It's a travesty, it's a perverted means to an end
A silent offense, sure to trap you over time
It's a lot of things, it's just not what it appears to be
No saviour indeed, however genuine it feels

about

Cascade Lakes image

Cascade Lakes Hamburg, Germany

Cascade Lakes is an awakening of sorts. In many respects. Albeit a late one.

It's a coming to terms with. A deep dive into the human condition. At its darkest.
An accomplished work, compelling and moving.

Cascade Lakes is also Jan Schewe, Fabio Papais and Tobias Noormann. At the band's core.
Indie rock with a refined pop sensibility.
A nod to a formative time and a bold glimpse into the future. ... more
