Crystal Castles - Pap Smear

[@TerryRoyer]

The lyrics are just so alien and the mood so foreign it blows me away.

[@Necronometer]

One of my favorite Crystal Castles track. This tracks exemplifies their talent for creating effortlessly catchy synth hooks and deconstructing them in the most fabulous, gritty way possible. What creativity.

I think I’ve become an addict to the amount of times I’ve listen to this, I love it so much, the background music and everything i can’t explain .

[@Sadakorka]

just like me you've fallen under the crystal curse. hard not to.

[@mirdulia]

I am back. Always.

[@AntiActionFox]

It was interesting what happened to me just now. I havent heard this song in 7 years. I had completely forgotten the lyrics but remembered the synths. As this song progressed, the lyrics slowly came back to me, and by the time Alice's final chrous hit, i was humming along remembering how vivid the lyrics were. This song is 12 years old but crystal castles will never cease being interesting. May this song be listened to for a thousand more years.

its a goddamn shame what was going on behind the scenes. A duo for the ages.

[Verse 1: Alice Glass] You never got to bloom They cut you from the stem You're innocent at birth Until you understand [Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass] Repeat every word that you say to me They put you to use or put you to sleep I can't tell you the difference between An embryo or a planted seed [Chorus: Alice Glass] So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know what you hate, so I do it constantly So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know how to cut a wound that will not heal [Verse 2: Alice Glass] Consistency of dirt Insects that spun your silk They wait for gratitude They wail for mother's milk [Pre-Chorus: Alice Glass] Repeat every word that you say to me They put you to use or put you to sleep I can't tell you the difference between An embryo or a planted seed [Chorus: Alice Glass] So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know what you hate, so I do it constantly So many shades of white, so many shades of pale I know how to cut a wound that will not heal [Outro: Alice Glass] So many shades of white, so many- I know what you hate, so I do- So many shades of white, so many- I know what you hate, so I do- I know how to cut a wound that will not heal I know how to cut a wound that will not heal

Kerosene is absolutely horrifying and mystical, but Pap Smear absolutely demolishes it. Never danced to a song like I've danced to this one. "Tiktok CC Fans" *need* to look into Crystal Castle's music more and see the true gemstones lying around, like this song.

La música de Crystal Castles se caracteriza por su estilo vanguardista, mezclando elementos de electrónica, chiptune y noise. Su sonido a menudo es crudo, caótico y emocionalmente intenso. Han lanzado varios álbumes notables a lo largo de los años, como su álbum homónimo "Crystal Castles" (2008) y "II" (2010).
