Their most recent release, GREYAREA, is an androgynous sound of transition, interpolating darkly shimmering layers of angular guitar and pulsating touches of EBM, sharpening their unabashed anthemic rush with a maturing melodic complexity and atmosphere as much informed by post-punk as sweeping electronica. Still, as in records past, the twin pantheons of synthpop and classic VG music are invoked βnot as tribute or pastiche, instead fleetingly familiar textures interwoven in a fashion as singular and cooly assured as mastermind
Vincent Segretarioβs voice, which propels the EPβ crying out loud and whispering the words to poems you never sent. Alongside Segretario, Hannah Avalon moves from live member to creative collaborator, contributing to the ethereal come up of βGlass" and the ecstatic lullaby of closer βWading." The two have worked together in both anarcho-punk bands and musical theater productions, and somehow this wildly divergent history finds triumphant amalgamation in GREYAREA. This is the soundtrack to an impossible John Hughes movie where all the kids wear black lipstick and dance to the end of the world and everyone kisses and all hearts break when the credits roll.
Recently, WINGTIPS has had the pleasure of supporting artists such as THE TWILIGHT SAD (during US Tour with The Cure), PALE DΔ«AN, JACK LADDER & THE DREAMLANDERS, and SOFT KILL to name a few.
Accidental Effigies
Wingtips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wash away the dust
Clear the past of the last mistake
Catch a wave
Catch the glow
Bring to life the lives who stand alone
The senses are numb
Fallen into the crowd
This is all so surreal to me
I can't continue on like this
Mourning for the loss of a future
Untold untold
There's no need to prove
That accidental effigies can find their way to carry on
Remorse for the few who
Can't recall the face of something new
There's no need to prove
That accidental effigies can find their way to carry on
Remorse for the few who
Can't recall the face of something new
Chasing clarity
Intended misery
Take care for the void can fill
Temporary thoughts
With others to come
Flying by
Can't invent your own
Ignorance is not enough
To cover up fragile memories
This is all so surreal to me
I can't continue on like this
Mourning for the loss of a future
Untold untold
There's no need to prove
That accidental effigies can find their way to carry on
Remorse for the few who
Can't recall the face of something new
There's no need to prove
That accidental effigies can find their way to carry on
Remorse for the few who
Can't recall the face of something new
The song "Accidental Effigies" by WINGTIPS speaks about the theme of moving on from past mistakes and finding a way to carry on. The lyrics "Wash away the night, Wash away the dust, Clear the past of the last mistake" suggest that the singer is trying to cleanse themselves of their past pain and regrets. They are seeking clarity and chasing after something new, but they struggle to let go of their memories and move on. The lines "Mourning for the loss of a future, Untold untold" reveal the depth of their sadness and loss, while the refrain "There's no need to prove, That accidental effigies can find their way to carry on" suggests that even in their brokenness, they can find a way to keep going.
The song also touches on the idea of individuality and the challenges of standing out in a crowd. The lines "Bring to life the lives who stand alone, The senses are numb, Fallen into the crowd, Left behind for the better" highlight the difficulties of being different and the feeling of being left behind. However, the song encourages the listener to embrace their uniqueness and not give up, as even accidental effigies can find a way to carry on.
