The first single from Ruinism, “Rotted Arp” is a slowburning lament on the futility of emotions, eventually evolving into a grittier, bass heavy banger.
The title refers to the synth arpeggio that repeats throughout the song, rotten and ruined from the intense manipulation of sound that Lapalux use...
If only I could feel nothing
Hollow as a bell
I can hear my own heart ringing sometimes
Singing clear and empty
A perfect vessel
A sweet void
Instead, now, full and fragile
A bloody mess beating away
I'll ride it out, I'll ride it out
It's frustration that creates desire
Not the other way around
Unless you let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Baby, I'll let it
Lapalux released Rotted Arp on Wed Apr 26 2017.
