The waves shimmer in the rays. The East Coast calls my name - just like lovers unashamed. Come baptize me in a golden haze. Come wash me till the pain it slips away. Who thought that it would be a crutch to love something just like this so much? It’s just the beauty of the past; The fearing of what won’t last- does it haunt you like it haunts me? Bend just like the waves. Hope for brighter days. Break all your chains. And bend just like the waves. The clarity is coming back with the inspiration that had left. Just let the past stay the past and set your gaze on what is left. Those times don’t have to be what was best for you and me. Just let the past stay the past and set your gaze on what is left.

I can feel every moment I can see every fantasy Nothing will ever phase me any longer now Why don’t you give me something Little piece of your treasures lost In the heavenly garden Where we fell down far Why is hiding the truth so forbidden? When the road is paved with good intentions We don’t need to be forgiven For existing here I dunno what to tell you I don’t have all the words this time When our suffering turned into an element So farewell to the wonder Where the moment forever dwells In the heavenly garden Where we fell down far Why is hiding the truth so forbidden? When the road is paved with good intentions We don’t need to be forgiven For existing here I can feel every moment I can see every fantasy Nothing will ever phase me any longer now Why don’t you give me something Little piece of your treasures lost In the heavenly garden Where we fell down far Why is hiding the truth so forbidden? When the road is paved with good intentions We don’t need to be forgiven For existing here Why is hiding the truth so forbidden? When the road is paved with good intentions We don’t need to be forgiven For existing here

I walk along the still streets Of the city that doesn’t sleep. They hold to the memories Along the waters of the open sea. Once it comes, where will it go? Will it fade or will it grow? Summer times. Midnight Rides. Star kissed skies. Ease my mind. The wind against the river. The feelings that weren’t bitter. Was it all for something bigger? Or another frame inside this mirror? Moonlight falls upon the skyline It opens under the sunrise. It’s almost over - the midnight - the midnight. It’s like ecstasy But harm for me. I just want harmony so my mind can breathe.

Sitting in an empty bar It doesn’t even help Looking in the mirror you don’t recognise yourself Thinking of the times that she deceived you but how can you rewrite the story to erase the pain? Time goes by so slow And you, just can’t go on What to do to drown your sorrow You don’t care about tomorrow And you just keep wondering what went wrong (every night and day you do) What to do to drown your sorrow You have tried but can’t let go of Memories that haunt you All night long Lying in an empty bed, With no one but yourself Keep going in circles but You cannot understand Thinking of the times that you believed her but How can you delete the story To forget the pain? Time goes by so slow And you, just can’t go on What to do to drown your sorrow You don’t care about tomorrow And you just keep wondering what went wrong (every night and day you do) What to do to drown your sorrow You have tried but can’t let go of Memories that haunt you All night long And you wonder why (you wonder why) You just keep trying and trying But you never get to see the light And you feel that life Is so unsatisfying But you can say at least you’ve tried What to do to drown your sorrow You don’t care about tomorrow And you just keep wondering what went wrong (every night and day you do) What to do to drown your sorrow You have tried but can’t let go of Memories that haunt you All night long

In the distance In the far away You wait Live to fight another day In your resting In your ever changing ways Your last dance is for me If you’re ready to face it all Hold my hand through the rise and fall I’ll stand with you If you say that you need to go I won’t stand in your way at all If you’re ready Then I’m ready Are you ready to go? Say that you’ll stay in my memories though Don’t believe it Don’t you believe it Don’t believe it Don’t you believe it If you say it’s so, I won’t say it though If you say it’s so, I won’t say it though This is only one way out This is only one way out Do you believe Do you believe Do you believe Do you believe

Why did you wait for me How did you know it won’t be so long Why did you wait for me When you knew my heart was broken I’ve learned the hard way now This world keeps hurting me I’ve learned the hard way now You were saving me me 5 am I can’t sleep My mind won’t let me be free This feeling that I’m lost now Is taking over me Your laying close but I can’t breathe The day is haunting me Done with fake smile day dreams This pain I need you to see Step by step Day by day So scared of your love just running away So use to being left now I don’t wanna lose you Turn your phone off baby ooh There’s nothing else that I need Just loving that you’re here with me Why did you wait for me How did you know it won’t be so long Why did you wait for me When you knew my heart was broken I’ve learned the hard way now This world keeps hurting me I’ve learned the hard way now You were saving me me I never looked for one love I Never asked for fame I hoped I’d find some peace when A stranger knows my name Turn your phone off baby ooh There’s nothing else that I need Just loving that you’re here with me End outro It’s not always easy I Know you’re saving me It’s not always easy I’m getting tired of being me

Choose to set you free and just get over you, Or keep you here with me and try to make it through. The only thing I’m sure that I could never do, Is pick the one that’s right for you, I wish that you’d say something please don’t make me choose. If nothing comes from nothing and nothing’s what I get from you, We’ve got no chance becoming something that pulls through. When good intentions drift away, When familiar feelings start to fade. Do we count the loss or turn the page? Did you ever think this love just ain’t enough? Satin sheets the fortress of our fairytale, The truth that won’t escape and help us tip the scale. Time and time again I question how we let this love get so far off the rails, I wish that you’d say something please don’t let this fail. If nothing comes from nothing and nothing’s what I get from you, We’ve got no chance becoming something that pulls through. When good intentions drift away, (Drift away) When familiar feelings start to fade. (Do we count the loss) Do we count the loss or turn the page? Did you ever think this love just ain’t enough? (Ever think this love just ain’t enough) When good intentions drift away, (Drift away) When familiar feelings start to fade. (Do we count the loss) Do we count the loss or turn the page? Did you ever think this love just ain’t enough?

about

Outsider is Maxx Parker's debut album released on Aztec Records and features artists LAU, Thought Beings, GeoVoc, Natalie Gray, Young Empress and Syst3m Glitch. The collaboration between such diverse acts delivers songs that are ignited with melodic and atmospheric arrangement and production coupled with emotional, powerful, heartfelt vocals and lyrics.

The album draws on themes of love, heartbreak, nostalgia and self-reflection. The opening track 'Shimmer feat. GeoVoc' starts off the album with a reflective, delicately crafted introduction that eases the listener in. The album cuts between upbeat, 80's pop tracks like 'Wait For Me feat. Natalie Gray' and 'Hot Summer Nights' that will get you moving and tracks like 'Forbidden Treasures feat. Thought Beings', 'Ain't Enough feat. Syst3m' and 'Drown Your Sorrow Featuring LAU' guide us through stories of love and heartbreak that anchors the emotional side of Outsider.

The album also produces tracks like 'Neo-Noir' with driving bass lines and catchy synths that are directly for the fans of traditional synthwave whilst songs like 'Last Dance feat. Young Empress' and 'Cloudscape feat. GeoVoc' stride into a more experimental direction showcasing untraditional instrumentation and bold vocals.
Outsider is a smooth blend of contemporary synthwave that draws on elements of traditional 80's pop music whilst incorporating atmospheric, experimental sounds achieving a release that will serve as a fresh paragon in the synthwave/retrowave genr
