(7) Vienna based dreampop duo Anger (2017*) present their debut single “Without You”.
Dreamy guitars, shimmering synths and a driving bass line give Julian Angerer and Nora Pider's music a feeling of belonging. The chemistry of the duo feels at times telepathic, no more so than through their deeply intimate lyrics.“Without You” reignites memories of an 80's ballad, yet with a modern fragility. They blend sheer power and embrace with beautifully harmonized vocals to create something unique.
(There is more to come,) Anger are currently working on their debut EP “Liebe&Wut”.

Anger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
not much believing, but you see
it´s just in case that it turns out to be
down in the end, your crude reality
why should you pray
there´s no love, there´s no better way
why such regret
you know you are
your own enemy
your mind´s away
and your heart can´t feel
the missing notes
in that symphony
your mind´s away
and your heart can´t feel a thing
just do your prayers and sign the papers
the sunday prop for all ceremonies
the institution of mass religion
accomodates all ambiguities
the talisman you wear around your neck
it´s not a proof of all that faith
you know you´ll face the go so many times ignored
the time will come when all comes out
The lyrics of Anger's song "Religion of Fear" describes the idea of religion to be nothing but an insurance policy, where one practices not primarily for faith but rather for fear of the uncertain future. The song talks about how praying and following the rules of religion might only be superficial since there is no love or better way in it, and one might feel regret for not having lived differently. The song further highlights how the fear of death grips those who follow religion to the core, making them their own enemy.
The lyrics offer an insight into how religious institutions accommodate all ambiguities and are nothing but a prop for all ceremonies. The song further highlights how the talisman one wears around their neck is not proof of faith. The lyrics of the song conclude by asserting that the time will come when everything will come out in the open, and one cannot escape from what they ignored in the past.
Line by Line Meaning
Your faith is an insurance policy
Your religious beliefs are a backup plan
not much believing, but you see
You don't really believe, but you follow just in case
it´s just in case that it turns out to be
You hold onto faith in case it proves true
down in the end, your crude reality
In the end, your bleak reality is all that matters
why should you pray
There is no reason to pray
there´s no love, there´s no better way
Love and prayer aren't necessary or helpful
why such regret
What's the point of feeling regret?
now you fear your certain death
You are afraid of dying
you know you are
You understand your situation
your own enemy
You are your own worst enemy
your mind´s away
Your mind is somewhere else, not present
and your heart can´t feel
You are emotionally numb
the missing notes
The important details are missing
in that symphony
In the grand scheme of things
your mind´s away
Your mind is gone
and your heart can´t feel a thing
And you can't feel anything either
just do your prayers and sign the papers
Just go through the motions of prayer and church
the sunday prop for all ceremonies
Church is a shallow show
the institution of mass religion
Organized religion as a whole
accomodates all ambiguities
Accepts and explains away inconsistencies
the talisman you wear around your neck
The religious object you carry with you
it´s not a proof of all that faith
It's not enough to prove your faith
you know you´ll face the go so many times ignored
You'll be held accountable for your neglected sins
the time will come when all comes out
You can't hide from the truth forever
