Lyrics:
Toxic eye- laughter is in short supply
Tell me why- when a punch line lands in my lap I’d rather cry
You tell a joke but you tell it wrong
Sharing my disdain for a simple song
You can call but I seldom answer after all
So tonight I really should confide
Annie, I’m either prophetic or pathetic I just can’t decide
Oh to deter a reoccurring dream
Slipping down a hill as you watch me scream
Lately they all end the same unless I lie awake
Toxic Eye
Toxic Eye
The ocular deceiving
All the poison I’m perceiving
Toxic eye
Gouge my toxic eye

This is such an underrated comment.

[@x97s]

What a comment !

[@ryanbrown1959]

As a metal guy who likes 80’s background music like this I’m glad I stumbled upon this. Great stuff for a dad who doesn’t acknowledge to much new stuff after 2009. 👍🏻

[@shoshoncaligula5512]

Cool

[@clave2049]

nice!

[@andrewromero6913]

Love this kinda Depeche Mode/tears for fears vibe you got going. This is the music I’d like to hear more of nowadays

[@Mekfearsom]

I want nothing more in this world than to see Choir Boy get the recognition they deserve. I am going to say something that might shock some people but it is the truth and must be said. Gathering Swans is literally on the same level as The Queen is Dead. It really is.

[@jackulstrom9150]

Fully agreed - with the added bonus that Adam Klopp, at least thus far, hasn't begun to hate immigrants. It's a win-win!

[@FHSBlackSwarm]

I could've seen them had a friend of mine planned more accordingly for a road trip we just took :(

[@wormwood3118]

one came 40 years earlier so it can never be the same

[@SamSarracino]

Bold statement! It is a great album, doubtlessly, though. .

[@SpettroFamily]

They are a fantastic band and they did some of the best songs in modern music for sure - I have often thought of the Smiths, the comparison is not risky - what about the first album ? That's terrific as well - such a great band

[@richeau]

This is so beautiful. Tell me Im not the only one getting goosebumps.

[@janhavelka1529]

This song is great. Love the way you use chords so they make that feeling of misunderstanding if that song feels happy or sad. I love how it's happily sad. I love your sound and the lead singer's got one of the most interesting strange colour of voice.

[@NeoLudditevisons]

This song will always have a special place in my life. I randomly had this suggested by yt algorithm, prob after checking Genesis P. Orridge out. Anyway i was waiting for the hospital to call as my partner was awaiting to give birth an i wasnt allowed there until the birth was underway due to covid 19 limited access etc. I played this song on repeat to get me through longest night of my life an it will always remind of the time my beautiful daughter was born. So thank you to choir boy an dais recs for bringing light to me an permanently capturing the most emotional/intense time ive known x

[@robertoruizferraez1502]

That was deep, Neo Luddite. Thanks to share. Some nights deserve long hours. Congrats for your daughter.

I'm literally still so obsessed with this. Just have no choice but to stan!!!!! Would love to see these boys stream again soon

[@drlsziell]

We live in a world where an artist like this doesn't get the recognition like Billie Eilish or Drake. But I do like the fact that we can have thier beautiful music all to ourselves.

His makeup reminds me of the "hero" from the1978 film Laserblast. Mst3k did an episode with it.

[@tylerthibeaux4479]

This song is perfection. The dance of the melodies across this ballroom floor of my dreams has both chilled and warmed me every one of my 15 listens so far. If there was ever a song that would be playing as I awoke from a coma at the funeral of my past misery Toxic Eye would be that song.

I'm so confused... I love this song... but what is about so? I guess it talk about the things we see in a wrong way, so we got a "toxic eye": things are better than they seem to be... (?) Is it about pessimism and low self-esteem?
