Intro 01:45

Generator 04:18
Generator It’s a fading sun and a setting hope. It just gets later. She won’t call, but it won’t mean you aren’t in her radar. She spread her heart out far too thin. She’s so unstable. When Dark calls, she’s curled up with her Generator. Safe arms, a familiar face, a late start, a caffeine charge. Today will change her. A straighter walk... “Just focus hard.” You try to save her. It all wears off like her mascara, but she’s gotten braver. When Dark calls, she’s curled up with her Generator. Her heart reaches further than her days can contain. A distance her love spreads to the point where it breaks. She sees every night fall away... Home and a Hideaway

So Into You 02:57
SO INTO YOU I try to stay away, but get weak when its late. There's so much I want to say. I'm no good at the games. If I threw myself any harder, I think my bones would break. I'm so into you. I want to do what's right, but I can't justify all the things I say at night... so I just apologize. But if you are "the Darkness," what do I make of this feeling.. so Light...? I'm so into you...so into this....already starting to think of our first kiss. I'm so into you...it's happened again.... caught up in romance that's all in my head. I'm so into you..so into this... already starting to think of your hands on me. I'd save some face if I could play it cool, but I'm up against Magick and the Moon.
4.
TRAIL OF BLOOD A trail of blood was left in the snow. Everybody knows he found his teeth when he sold his soul. Everybody knows the boy who said he could spit to the Moon. Everybody knew he lived too fast and he died too soon. Everybody knew. Real for you is not real for me. What we are is not what we will be. Lives are broken, lives are changed. Hearts are broken, hearts are changed. The fish that he caught at the end of the day rotted away, and we all just want more anyways. At the end of the day the neighbors said, “He was just that type...saw too much for a mind unripe,” and the papers said it was such a shame that we all went hungry Saturday.
5.
Stars 03:56
STARS Whispers in the hope of Love, hiding in the blankets of Night. Black, below and above. Launched, never taking flight. All the Stars seem to shine for us. All my Ghosts still cry. All the Stars seem to sing for us.... Laughter in the belly of whale, Hiding from the ears of the Sea. Black, his mouth and his tail. What a glorious Beast.... Pushing in the hope of Control, Tugging in defeat of the War. Black, the place that once shone. Nothing is what it was before.
6.
Keyhole 02:46
KEYHOLE I saw a Light through a keyhole and I knew you were stirring. I watched for a moment and all that I knew started blurring. It was leaving it’s womb...breaking the cocoon. You only changed clothes but the world all around you changed colors. I filled all the holes in your story with the words from another, like a tale from afar projected on a wall. It was leaving it’s womb, breaking the cocoon. Indescribable, exciting and new. Undeniably, recognizably you.
7.
It Was 03:24
You can look anywhere but here. It’s not the same as it was. Everything has become dust. You’ve built a golden grave on the silver soil. You lay in your copper coffin with your dreams of yesterday. Don’t be afraid to become a phoenix from the ashes.
8.
Hellebores 03:56
Hellebore [hel-uh-bawr, -bohr] Noun: 1. A winter-flowering toxic plant that thrives in cold and difficult conditions. Poisoning will occur through ingestion or handling. 2. Though some believe the flower is used to summon demons, others believe in its ability to cure madness.
9.
WITH BATED BREATH Be who you are. Let fires rage again. Take the time to swim in what was said. All the weight has laid you down, All the water’s flooded safe ground, And I long to see you sail again, with bated breath. See who you are, and then you’re free again. Look to me, my love is yours to lend. Hesitations / Blinders on / Shoulders up / Turned on high All the weight’s been overcome. All the world is being reborn, And I’ll sail with you up high again, with bated breath.

Sylvia 06:52
SYLVIA Fractured thoughts crack through the morning. The slightest rustling has stirred. My hope tips, spilling asunder. Your violent ego has been burned. Heavy Things... They live in sheets. They keep us warm. It’s too much sleep. You say a lot, Sylvia. “I close my eyes and all the world is dead...” I traded blood for saccharine, wanting everything, but nothing is enough to rise from this bed. You say a lot, Sylvia.
12.
Caterpillar 02:35
Up, down, up…I’m not myself today. From the ground into the clouds and back again, there’s a cloud of smoke inside my head. The smoke you’re breathing out is not helping it. I’m on my way through a foreign land. Maybe when you change you’ll understand. Up, down, upset one more animal. I wish I’d never climbed into that rabbit hole. Who are you? Who is this child? Who am I? When you get your wings, you’ll understand.
13.
You are my hiding place, and I will fly when I set myself on fire.

about

"Hellebores" shifts seamlessly from sparkling dream-pop into heavier shoegaze, juxtaposing ethereal vocals against layers of fuzzy guitar and moments of doom. Themes of despair, hope, and shedding old skin into new beginnings unfold alongside contagious melody in the sonic hybrid and genre-blending sophomore album from NIIGHTS. The band hits the road with Elvis Depressedly for a U.S. tour Feb. 20, and returns to Japan for a summer tour in support of their 2019 release.
