Among the band’s most important driving forces is early day electronic music, but tribute is paid to the hole era of pop and rock – in other words, Electro Spectre steals and plunders from anything that is found to be of interest. The outcome is always uncompromisingly their own, and the sound the result of a relentless vision, making use of all today’s possibilities.
The album ‘Watch It All Turn’ has been written and recorded during the last year with Isak Rypdal and Alexander Björneboe in the studio, and consists of twelve tracks presenting a forceful variety of songs, spanning from catchy, danceable to the more dark edged. Words and music forges a sinister universe, yet not without a grinning recklessness – on the whole chasing the ghost of importance, A pursuit fueled by vintage synthesizers and crying gitars.
FASHION
Electro Spectre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the way she looks is everything
The camera's love
Is the only thing worth considering
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
Eyes like dead suns
Big black holes in her catwalk face
But her body a gun
And the way it moves make me deranged
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
She is never mean
She's too attractive
Queen gasoline
Burning anyone who dares to cross her land
And I'm too adaptive
All I care about
Is to be one who holds her perfect hand
My wicked, dangerous predator babe
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
My fashion
My fashion
My flashy fashion babe
Diamonds
Fur
Long, long legs
Millionaire dogs
Traitors
Kissers
And all the animated faces
Yeah, all the animated faces
The song "Fashion" by Electro Spectre is a commentary on the fashion industry and its obsession with perfection and glamour. The lyrics suggest that the fashion industry is driven by our culture's love of appearance and image. The first verse, "The camera says go, And the way she looks is everything, The camera's love, Is the only thing worth considering," describes how models must conform to the camera's ideal of beauty, which is often quite unrealistic. The chorus, "My fashion, My fashion, My flashy fashion babe," emphasizes the focus on appearance and image that dominates the industry.
The second verse describes the model's physical appearance: "Eyes like dead suns, Big black holes in her catwalk face, But her body a gun, And the way it moves make me deranged." Here, the image of "dead suns" and "big black holes" suggests that the model has a sort of lifelessness to her, yet her flawless body and movement are capable of drawing in and even mesmerizing those around her. The male speaker goes on to describe the model as a "queen gasoline, Burning anyone who dares to cross her land," reinforcing the idea that she is a powerful figure within the industry.
The final section of the song is a list of various elements of the fashion industry, from diamonds to animated faces. The list suggests that there is a sort of frenzied, chaotic quality to the industry, in which various elements are constantly competing for attention.
