In late 2010 Digital Daggers had the single of the week, "No Easy Way," which gained over 150,000 downloads to promote the release of the debut digital EP Human Emotion. The title track of the EP was used by Ferrero Raffaello for a TV commercial in 2011. Their debut full-length album Close Your Eyes was released on 11 June 2013 by Los Angeles-based indie label El Camino Media. The song "The Devil Within" is currently being featured in trailers for the NBC series The Blacklist, Nikita, and Pretty Little Liars. In February 2014, they released "Aquarius" from the album 'Reimaginations: Volume One', which was used in the first episode of the CW show "Starcrossed".
Digital Daggers released their 2nd and final full-length album Mixed Emotions in 2014. The band had broken up before its release and have since had songs from the album featured in the TV Series How To Get Away With Murder. The song "Back To The Start" is featured on the upcoming Official Soundtrack album for How To Get Away With Murder released on Hollywood Records March 2016. Orange is the New Black featured "Save Us From Ourselves" in Season 7, Episode 4: "How to Do Life." The song begins as Maria recites from a pamphlet "Take what you want and leave the rest."
On 9 November 2017, Digital Daggers announced their return to the stage by presenting their newest song, "Devil's Choir". Space has been heavily active in the film and TV sync world as an artist, producer and performer, especially with his band Digital Daggers.
Still Here
Digital Daggers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing my grip in the grey
Numbing the senses
I feel you slipping away
Fighting to hold on
Clinging to just one more day
Love turns to ashes
With all that I wish could say
I'd die to be where you are
I tried to be where you are
Every night I dream you're still here
The ghost by my side, so perfectly clear
When I awake, you disappear
Back to the shadows
With all I hold, dear
With all I hold, dear
I dream you're still here
Hidden companion
Phantom be still in my heart
Make me a promise that
Time won't erase us
That we were not lost from the start
I'd die to be where you are
I tried to be where you are
Every night I dream you're still here
The ghost by my side, so perfectly clear
When I awake, you disappear
Back to the shadows
With all I hold, dear
With all I hold, dear
I dream you're still here
I dream you're still here
Ever slightly out of reach
I dream you're still here
But it breaks so easily
I try to protect you
I can't let you fade
I feel you slipping
I feel you slipping away
Every night I dream you're still here
The ghost by my side, so perfectly clear
When I awake, you disappear
Back to the shadows
With all I hold, dear
With all I hold, dear
I dream you're still here
I dream you're still here
Every night I dream you're still
Every night I dream you're still here

Musing through memories
Reflecting on moments from the past
Losing my grip in the grey
Feeling lost and uncertain in difficult times
Numbing the senses
Trying to dull emotional pain
I feel you slipping away
Sensing the loss of a loved one
Fighting to hold on
Struggling to not let go
Clinging to just one more day
Desperately trying to prevent the end
Love turns to ashes
Watching a once strong love dissolve
With all that I wish could say
Regretting missed opportunities to express oneself
I'd die to be where you are
Longing to be reunited with a loved one who is gone
I tried to be where you are
Attempting to be close to someone who is no longer there
Every night I dream you're still here
Yearning for the presence of someone who is gone
The ghost by my side, so perfectly clear
Feeling the presence of the loved one who is no longer alive
When I awake, you disappear
Realizing the harsh reality that they are gone
Back to the shadows
Vanishing out of sight
With all I hold, dear
Everything I cherish is gone when I wake up
Hidden companion
A presence that is only felt, not seen
Phantom be still in my heart
Hoping that the love that was lost can still be felt
Make me a promise that
Asking for reassurance
Time won't erase us
Hoping that the love that was lost can still be felt
That we were not lost from the start
Believing that the relationship should have worked out
Ever slightly out of reach
Unattainable and elusive
But it breaks so easily
Fragile and easily destroyed
I try to protect you
Attempting to keep the memory alive
I can't let you fade
Determined to keep the memory alive
I feel you slipping
Sensing the gradual loss of a loved one
I feel you slipping away
Experiencing the gradual loss of a loved one
Every night I dream you're still
Nightly reminiscing
Every night I dream you're still here
Persistent yearning to be with the loved one

2023 and I am still as obsessed with Digital Dagger's music as I was all those years ago. Their music was hauntingly brilliant. They were criminally underrated like this masterpiece
@comictitan4509
I just found them today, by total chance on Spotify. It was this song, and I’ve listened to more of their stuff now, it’s unbelievably good.

This is my favourite song from Digital Daggers. All their songs are hauntingly beautiful, but this.. The lyrics, her voice, the video, the morse code on the corner, just gives a feeling no other song can. I listen to this every day, and in my mind I travel to another universe..
