Glass Cathedral | Dark Wave Electronic — painkillerDE

Glass Cathedral — dark wave electronic by painkillerDE. We've built magnificent, hyper-connected digital temples — our 'glass cathedrals' — but we've trapped ourselves inside them. Glass Cathedral is a melodic, desperate plea to break the glass, look up from the glow of our devices, and actually exist in the present moment before our lives pass us by entirely. -- More Music -- All Tracks:    • Dark Wave 2026 — All Tracks by painkillerDE   Singles:    • Dark Wave Singles 2026 — painkillerDE   EP "The Signal":    • The Signal — Industrial Dark Wave EP — pai...   Album "Die Stunde":    • Die Stunde — Dark Electronic EBM Album — p...   Cello Dark Wave:    • Cello Dark Wave — Cello & Synth by painkil...   -- Lyrics -- Train pulls in. Quarter past eleven, the carriage holds a quiet kind of light Fifty faces blooming pale blue Fifty gardens nobody is tending tonight A mother on the platform — just out of reach A daughter tugging softly on her sleeve Asking something gentle No screen could ever answer Something only skin can really receive We built a glass cathedral And forgot we had a sky Come back Come back Come back Look up, look up The room is here, the room is now Look up, look up The world is close, the world is loud We were never meant To watch our lives go by Oh-oh, look up tonight Oh-oh, look up tonight Front row. The band is burning holy Smoke and sweat and forty thousand watts of grace But the lighters — they went quiet years ago Every flame a camera now Every face behind a case Watching through a window Through a window Through the window of a screen Forty thousand bodies in the same exact room And somehow None of us are there We built a glass cathedral And forgot we had a sky Come back Come back Come back Look up, look up The room is here, the room is now Look up, look up The world is close, the world is loud We were never meant To watch our lives go by Oh-oh, look up tonight Oh-oh, look up tonight The bus stop holds us softly A row of pale devotion Every soldier in formation tilted gently toward the glow And I — I am one of them My thumb moves like a prayer wheel I forgot I was spinning A little holy habit I forgot I let it grow We are ghosts that learned to haunt ourselves through six-inch panes of glass An audience to the moment we are standing in A moment we keep meaning to return to But it's already Going Past Look up, look up The room is here, the room is now Look up, look up The world is close, the world is loud We were never meant To watch our lives go by Look up tonight Look up tonight We were never meant To watch our lives go by #darkwave #darkelectronic
