[Verse 1]
So cruel your desire
It pulled me under
But the drapery of my eye won't fall
I lie in wait for the night to find you
Sepia teeth and claw
[Pre-Chorus]
Hope was changing lanes
I had to turn
Changed my pace
Either way, I grew so old
[Chorus]
This is how I disappear
Separated from the dead twin
No hound is on my trail now
Journey to the heart of your deceit
And defining my shed skin
With no one waiting
I am waiting for no one
[Verse 2]
Departure from the terminus
Arriving on the 4th
Weightless in the arms of none
Flick of the switch
My name lit up
Flickering in white, then gone
[Chorus]
This is how I disappear
Separated from the dead twin
No hound is on my trail now
Journey to the heart of your deceit
And defining my shed skin
With no one waiting
I am waiting for no one
[Refrain]
Changed my pace
Either way, I grew so old
[Chorus]
This is how I disappear
Separated from the dead twin
No hound is on my trail now
Journey to the heart of your deceit
And defining my shed skin
With no one waiting
I am waiting for no one

Flicker was produced by Anders Nyström & Jonas Renkse.
“Another one that’s a bit more uptempo, especially in the choruses. They’re very classic Katatonia, I think. There’s some electronic elements as well. Lyrically, it’s about trying to break free from something. And it has a few moments of magic guitar playing by Roger [Öjersson].”
