When Beauty Expires

by Designer Violence

supported by

Yves Schelpe (Psy'Aviah) Suffer sounds like you've heard it before, yet the track explores new territories and dares to venture out to different genres. I love it when bands do this. Reminds me of early Poésie Noire tracks. Overall very nice album. Favorite track: Suffer.

Desires Glances The eyes A pierced A fire builds Within the lies A mirror A laugh aimed Right at myself Reveals Destruction The key out of my own hell Suffer You hurt me Suffer A pain that frees Suffer Blindly Suffer I want to see me An ordeal recites The inner taste The fire's lies An inner waste The pain it burns just won't subside Why can't I control these fucked up insides Suffer Suffer Suffer We want to see Suffer But ourselves we Suffer Keep asking why Suffer Yet we don't try The end of suffering it's not near Yet there's something I see so clear We keep wishing others To suffer through hell While all that inflicts is Pain upon ourselves Suffer Suffer Suffer We want to see us Suffer

Wie ben jij Wie wil je zijn vandaag Als ook de spiegel Je niet herkent Zet je schrap Zet je af Van deze Werkelijkheid Want dit is niet Naar wat jij zoekt Niet jouw Realiteit Wie ben jij Wat ga je doen vandaag Als ook de wereld Je niet erkent Zet je schrap Zet je af Van deze Werkelijkheid Want dit is niet Naar wat jij zoekt Niet jouw Realiteit Te lang ben ik koud gelaten Te vaak ook alleen gestaan Het is tijd om terug te vechten Voor het recht om te bestaan Afgestompte zintuigdrager Is je goddelijk bestaan Te puur om mij waar te nemen Te zien komen, te zien gaan Onthou dan minstens toch mijn naam

Simple Reflections Looking back On the edge What do we seal Finding appeal Finding us Finding ourselves We look back We look hard We find ourselves Lying again Lying again To myself To boast Just to feel better Better I want to feel better Nothing Nothing sees me No one I don't want to Talk to myself Please No Reflexive Rebelling reckoning I look back I looked myself In the eye Not what I seemed to be To you No No one to see That's just A lie No I lied I falsified I could not look in my own eyes No No Cannot look Look behind Your past haunts you Your past Nothing seems to be real When you speak When you leave When you're seized Nothing speaks Hatred For The words I can't speak Give it back to me In a sense Give it back to me I can't return To the past Let me have My future I can't return To the past Living in The past Living In The past

Kan niet verdrinken In een zee van gedachten Een zee vol met kleuren En een zure blik Een blik op de wereld kaatst terug hoe zij mij ziet Maar ik ben de wereld De wereld ben ik Een kamer vol ogen Ze kijken je aan Pas als je gaat schreeuwen Dan zien ze je staan Een kamer vol vragen Geen enkele blik Als alles verandert Blijf ik dan nog ik Een kamer vol ogen Ze kijken je aan Pas als je gaat schreeuwen Dan zien ze je staan Een kamer vol oren Dus stel nu de vraag Niet wachten tot morgen Dit moet nog vandaag Kijk me aan Kijk me aan These are the faces of change These are the faces of change They are what you deserve Until You speak a little louder These are the faces of change They are what you deserve Until You speak a little louder Ik kan niet sterven In deze dimensie Ik zie de waarheid Zien zij ook wat ik zie Een kamer vol ogen Ze kijken je aan Pas als je gaat schreeuwen Dan zien ze je staan Een kamer vol oren Dus stel nu de vraag Niet wachten tot morgen Dit moet nog vandaag These are the phases of change They are what you deserve Until You speak a little louder These are the faces of change They are what you deserve Until You speak a little louder These are The faces Of change These are the faces of change They are what you deserve Until You speak a little louder These are the faces of change They are what you deserve Until You scream a little louder Scream a little louder

Illusions A poet's home Tranquility Is questioned While we see While we feel What do we see When we feel so much What do we fear When we see so much What do we feel When we fear so much What do we fear When we feel So Much Stilted marks Floating scars Endless mitigate Brainless negotiate Endless Mitigate Brainless Negotiate Endless feeling Ignorant bliss Another reason Feeling of Abyss Endless feelings Feelings of the mind while Mental corrosion Secret stab Crossed slab Behind Endless fear Recalls a scenario Endless hear Recalls so precario The endless not Feelings howl A needle stuck White noise harsh You FUCK Hidden feelings Ceilings of the mind While Scary jealousy Creeps up from behind Creeps further up Senseless wallop The endless not Now make it stop Endless psychosis Wallop dementia Scarcely an abyss Feelings of grave Nausea Why won't it stop Why

Children in her ties Medicines for his lies Fuck them Fuck their lives They're just men in disguise Say fuck them To their face To hell with their disgrace Drown them in the chase I'm happy in displace Faces for hire In lavish attire Friendly desire Then thrown into fire This brand new empire Will have to retire Nothing to admire When beauty expires Nothing to admire When beauty expires Will they remember your name? (Will they? Remember?) Will they remember your name? Think you're not worth Say that you don't fit So hard to admit That's total shit Shit Shit Shit Will they remember your name? (Will they?) They'll never remember your name They'll never remember Never remember They'll never Remember Your name They'll never Remember your name Don't let them see ya Don't let them see ya Run for your life Don't let them see ya Don't let them see ya Run for your life Don't let them see ya Don't let them see ya Run for your life Don't let them see ya Don't let them see ya Run for your life Nothing to admire when beauty expires

about

The debut album of Dutch electronic industrial act Designer Violence. ‘When Beaty Expires’ is a longing to know what remains of one’s personality when it’s stripped back to its pure existence. The all-female queer industrial noise-duo Designer Violence comes through with their debut album with nerve-wrecking screams, blistering beats and near-clipping synths. Think Ministry meets Skinny Puppy meets Depeche Mode. Being released almost a year after their first EP, ‘Unplanned Madness!’, the Dutch duo finds themselves more comfortable with their sound and songwriting.

That devastating and frightening atmosphere is mesmerizing. Probably the only DWIFH album I fell in love with. Expiring Time, The Unclean, Threadbare, Downpour, At Rest - these all are my favorites. Val Levitsky
