about

In April we promised you 5 singles in 5 months and here is the second one - all these single won't (!) be on the next album. "Escapism" is after the rather untypical, very rocky 1st single "Big Bang Coming" probably a more typical The Halo Trees track: melancholic, gloomy and deep, with lots of toms in the drums, nice melody and a melodramatic lyrics ;-) Or in short: Deep dark indie rock. You can listen to it on all digital platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon etc. now. Or at Bandcamp.

lyrics

Escapism

We’re falling out of the ordinary
a crash into reality
I try to yell, but forgot how
Words get lost in indifference

It’s like we’re wading through a swamp
The mud haunts us into our dreams
The minds are lost, lost in a loop
Vortex into depravity

We’re trying to find an easy way out
Remember the carefree days
We’re trying to find an easy way out
Not more than a memory

Wayward souls trapped in hypnosis
Yesterday appears as paradise
Happy faces, frozen laughs
and devils in disguise

You shake your head and walk away
Say you don’t believe a word
They tore a rift between us
Our thoughts bathe in the dirt

You turn back once, from far away
This gaze burns into me
They got you with their cunning lies
You take a whole heaven with thee
