Forging a broad spectrum of influences, Maxthor take irresistible echoes of eighties giants like Phil Collins, Billy Idol and Survivor and filter them through their own lens of synth driven futurist-nostalgia.
Fiction
Maxthor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're gone without a trace
A veil of lies, a ghost with no name
An endless void behind your face
Fear has made us blind
Will a million dawns
Take this numbing pain away?
You have burnt my hopes
Am I just a piece in a game you play?
I can't escape this fiction
No truth will set us free
I can't escape this fiction
There's nothing left of me
If we believe no one is to blame
Why do we feel betrayed?
The unreal world we've built in our heads
The haunting voice we've learnt to obey
These lyrics speak to the pain of a lost love, where the singer would rather die than lose their lover again. The lover has disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a 'veil of lies' and a ghostly face. The singer is left to grapple with their fear and pain, wondering if they will ever find relief, and if their love was just a pawn in a larger game. They are trapped in a fiction of their own making, unable to escape the pain and the memories of their lost love. They question the very nature of blame, wondering why they feel betrayed when they are the ones who created this unreal world in their heads.
The song raises important questions about how we deal with loss and the complexity of human emotion. The singer is grappling with their own feelings of guilt, wondering if they played a part in the dissolution of their love. The lyrics paint a picture of two people caught up in their own toxic relationship, where the lines between truth and fiction become blurred. It is a powerful reminder that sometimes the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives can be the very thing that holds us back.

Es cierto aquí en Brasil, solo escuchan música pésima, pornográfica y de mal gusto, afortunadamente yo puse muy buenas canciones melódicas bien hechas con buenos sentimientos en las letras.
