The Birthday Massacre Stream New Song ‘Down’
Electronic rockers The Birthday Massacre have released “Down”, a new song from their upcoming album Hide And Seek, which comes out Oct. 9th via Metropolis Records (pre-order here). You can hear the track below as well as read the lyrics.
Vocalist Chibi states, “There is an intensity to this record that I definitely felt while we were writing and recording. At times, for me, it was a struggle. I had some very strong emotions during the time we worked on this, and it shows, I think, in my vocals – and I really love how it turned out. The lyrics also touch on some darker themes. There’s a lot of very moving stuff on this record. Very intense stuff.”
The Birthday Massacre will be going on tour with William Control and Aesthetic Perfection this fall. You can check out all the tour dates here.
Lyrics:
Tell me why we never cared to do this when we still had time.
We’ll never have to give up if we never try.
I know I’ll only want it when it’s gone, into the fire.
Show me now.
I wish that I could fake it but I don’t know how.
I know we’ll never make it but I can’t stop now.
We’re only just beginning and it’s over.
Too late. No time, it’s over, and now, can’t wait.
Now it’s too late. No time, it’s over, and now, can’t wait.
And now, we all fall down.
Into the fire.
And my wishes have all come true.
We all fall down.
I don’t want it if I can’t be with you.
Leave me here.
I’ll never see tomorrow till my eyes are clear.
We never could run faster than the passing years.
I know that I won’t miss you till you’re gone, into the fire.
Cross my heart, we’ll never have to let this end if we don’t start.
We’ll never see the light till we step into the dark.
Too late. No time, it’s over, and now, can’t wait.
Now it’s too late. No time, it’s over, and now, can’t wait.
And now, we all fall down.
Into the fire.
And my wishes have all come true.
We all fall down.
I don’t want it if I can’t be with you.
There’s a lesson that we learn in the pages that we burn.
It’s written in the ashes of the fire below.
All the world is spinning round as we crash into the ground.
We’ll never be together now.
It’s too late.

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
