The “couple,” consisting of Ives Sepúlveda and Manuel Parra recorded Noctuary in Santiago, Chile. They put together a home studio and recorded the entire album themselves, from start to finish. Feeling that no one else had been able to capture their sound, Ives decided to take a risk and produce and engineer the album on his own. After four months of obsessively working and barely leaving the house, Ives emerged with a final product of which the band is truly proud. All of this hard work has manifested in a more elaborated, astral sounding album than its predecessor, Awe. While Awe and their Ancient Land EP had a bluesier, woodsy sound, Noctuary plays out like a slow motion 60’s beach party dream that you never want to wake from.

This is not your typical motorik beat kraut album; rather it sounds more like a breezy take on Love or Beau Brummels. The way that songs like “Willoweed” and “Paisley” flow seamlessly into one another, it is easy to see how listeners will become entranced by this new, dream-like world that The Holydrug Couple have created. These two stand-out tracks, as well as “Follow Your Way” really exemplify the growth of this band and signify the new direction they’re headed in.

Out of Sight
The Holydrug Couple Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was born
Long time ago
I'm the light
Tell me who am i
Cause I, here I am
Far far away
Cause I, here I am
Out out out of sight

Night, darkest home
Fades our soul
Give me hazey eyes
Find me, desert time
Cause I, here I am
Far far away

Cause I, here I am
Out out out of sight

Overall Meaning

The Holydrug Couple's song Out of Sight conveys a sense of longing and distance from oneself and one's surroundings. The opening lines "I was born/ Long time ago/ I'm the light/ Tell me who am I" suggest a search for identity and purpose, perhaps highlighting the existential crisis that one goes through at some point in life. The repetition of the lines "Cause I, here I am/ Far far away/ Cause I, here I am/ Out out out of sight" emphasize the feeling of being lost and disconnected from reality.

As the song progresses, there is a shift towards a more dreamlike state, with the lines "Night, darkest home/ Fades our soul/ Give me hazey eyes/ Find me, desert time". This could be interpreted as a desire to escape from the harsh realities of life and to find solace in a more peaceful and serene environment. The repeated chorus further emphasizes the desperation to be seen and heard, to find a sense of belonging in a world that feels distant and unattainable.

Overall, the lyrics to Out of Sight are a poignant representation of the universal desire for connection and understanding in a world that can often feel cold and isolating.

Line by Line Meaning

I was born
I came into existence

Long time ago
Many years have passed since my birth

I'm the light
I am a source of illumination

Tell me who am i
I am searching for my identity

Cause I, here I am
I exist in this moment

Far far away
I am distant from my current location

Cause I, here I am
Again, I am present at this moment

Out out out of sight
I am not visible or easily noticeable

Night, darkest home
The darkness of the night is my dwelling

Fades our soul
Our inner being becomes weaker over time

Give me hazey eyes
I desire a blurred perception of reality
