How can you say you love me when you always leave How can you say I love you when I just lost you How can you say we're through after all we've been through How can you say I love you when you do what you do
2.
All the things you said All the things you never meant Holding on to you Holding on what's true All the things we said All the things we never meant Holding on too long Hold my mind so long Do you wonder why Do you ask why Do you know why your eyes begin shine Do you wonder why Do you ask why Do you know why your life begins to shine Your eyes are getting wider Your eyes are getting wider Your eyes are getting wider Your eyes begin to shine I see right through you
3.
I wanna know how you feel Will it always feel so real You wont show me who you are I wanna know where to start Thorn in your kiss, thorn on my lips Sometimes my love for you shows me that I hate you Nothing more to try There's a thorn on my lips A thorn from your kiss It's bleeding me dry Thorn in your kiss, thorn on my lips
4.
When you wake Do you feel me next to you They won't know I'm right beside you Reach out to touch me, feel nothing Feeling nothing I'm feeling nothing Feeling nothing I'm feeling nothing I lie awake with my heart open to you She sleeps next to me and I think of you I can't dream without trying to touch you Reach out to feel if you're real You're not real How you make waves through it all They'll crash on you, with no one to hold you
5.
No tengo palabras para ti Por qué no me entiendes I still really, really love you Hablo de ti Pero no entienden Mi mundo se callo Cuando tu fuiste Y siempre vas a regresar I still really, really love you
6.
Do you know how they’re watching Do you hate me for waiting They’re waiting for They’re waiting for The time is right Won’t wait no more Am I all you ever wanted Holding out for more is daunting You know how to lie, you’re wanted The way you always lie, I want it You’re waiting for You’re waiting for The time is right Won’t wait no more

about

Regardless of ones own place in the world, it is without a doubt that Los Angeles has a sound. An extraordinary, unmistakable, and vibrant sound, colored by the people and cultures that embody it: Heat, high end fashion, dust, smoke, skate culture, punk, hip-hop, sampling, Hollywood, club culture, neon lights, late nights, deserted hills, hard work, and dreams both made and totally crushed. Lust, excess, passion, depth, shallowness, depravity, abandonment, love. This extreme duality of a place emanating its own strain of a quite palpable dream filled black magic has spawned some of the greatest and most highly celebrated cultural icons spanning film, music, art and beyond - and for every one single success story there is undoubtedly 1,000 opposites. It is this pressured, otherworldly environment and duality that explains how L.A. would spawn such a band like Luster.

Utterly beautiful, yet melancholic - Damaged, yet brand new. A hungry, innovative shine and sheen of the now beyond rich (and often Los Angeles centered) scene of ‘post-post-synth / 80’s revival etc. - Far too often, bands of this nature in today's quick to summarize era, are pigeonholed as simply the retreading of sounds already once made - This would be an all too lazy observation of a shoe-gaze sound indeed all their own. From the first single, ‘Thorn In Yr Kiss’, it is greatly apparent the elegance and grandiose of Dopamine Loop’s songwriting and production while also retaining an immediate honesty and intimacy. 90’s throwback reversed and filtered drum loops, tear wrenching guitars, massive atmospheric tones and detailed textures all dripped with smoke and vapor hazed vocals. Each track holds interesting choices containing both a unique and unabashed use of electronics, while soaking tracks in stratosphere dwelling guitars and traditional, cult post-punk instrumentation. Ethereal and dreamlike, dark and dizzying, massive and exciting. The sound of Los Angeles. - Brandon Hill / Starved Relations
