Gyakuten Stellar songwriting, glowing production, and infectious dance-y earworms that belie a troubled and emotional core lurking beneath our illusory connection with reality ⁠— what more could you want from a Synth Pop album? I can't stop listening D: Favorite track: Only A Dream.

Kaarin Zoe Lee I haven't stopped listening to this! Hideotronic is an incredible songwriter. There's so much heart in this! This album is packed with earworms! Half of these songs are simultaneously stuck in my head right now. Not even kidding. This is the bgm to my every thought now. I'll be free when the music decides I'm free.

I sincerely hope 2021 comes with stage time for you. Opening for The Midnight maybe? ;) Favorite track: Freddy.

julesneonfawkes This entire album is simply incredible. Hideotronic has all kinds of retro sounds going on in here...70s, 80s, 90s.. serious talent. Some label is going to snap this gentleman up very very fast. Favorite track: Freddy.

Neighborhood 04:07
Light pours from within my hands It’s everything, You’re everything Oh don’t look away, my mind will decay And the shadows will take me away Hate you but you’re like a drug Anxiety, anxiety Well it’s all in my head, I’ll just go back to bed And forget I was ever upset Most days I don’t want to leave My neighborhood, my neighborhood I got all that I need, all my friends on my feed If you cut me I don’t think I’d bleed Did I have another life Before we met, before we met No, it’s all just a lie, plug my brain back inside If you need me, I’m waiting to die

Fall For You 02:53
Talking’s too difficult Cause she is too beautiful I spin and trip and I fall, Am I delusional? I wanna dance with her But everything’s a blur Can’t even get a word out God, I’m an amateur Do you believe in love at first sight Cause I see beautiful stars in your eyes tonight If I knew what to say, I’d tell you every day And I don’t, but I’ll fall for you anyway It’s hard for me to speak When her model physique Approaches me and my knees Give out from being weak She’s with somebody though Was it all just for show? Would she have even looked my way I guess I’ll never know Eh! Do you believe in love at first sight Cause I see beautiful stars in your eyes tonight If I knew what to say, I’d tell you every day And I don’t, but I’ll fall for you anyway Do you believe in love at first sight Or should I start over and walk by a second time If I knew what to say, I’d tell you every day And I don’t, so I’ll fall for you anyway Come On, girl! Do you believe in love at first sight Cause I see beautiful stars in your eyes tonight If I knew what to say, I’d tell you every day And I don’t, but I’ll fall for you anyway Do you believe in love at first sight Cause I wish you could’ve asked me to hold you tight I don’t know what to say, You feel so far away I’m a mess, and I’m falling for you today

Bionicle 05:07
Piece by piece Part by part Plastic eyes Plastic heart Cold plastic heart Build me up Tear me down Scatter me On the ground All over the ground But I've no more control I let myself go What you see is what you get Wish that I could restart I'm falling apart Don't care if I'm blue or red I'm a Bionicle and my life is in your hands I'm a Bionicle I don't have anymore plans I see your Anger burn I can't move gears won't turn My gears won't turn Adventures That we had How did we Become so bad How did it get so bad? But I've no more control I let myself go What you see is what you get Wish that I could restart I'm falling apart Don't care if I'm blue or red I'm a Bionicle and my life is in your hands I'm a Bionicle I don't have anymore plans Oh Yeah! - Epic Guitar Solo - But I've no more control I let myself go What you see is what you get Wish that I could restart I'm falling apart Don't care if I'm blue or red I'm a Bionicle and my life is in your hands I'm a Bionicle I don't have anymore plans You don't read the instructions You don't even love yourself Locked me inside a canister Put me back on a shelf...

Pretend 04:15
Staple gun to my head on the Brooklyn Road Color blind to the fact that you're all that I've known Turn around, shut the door, Get away from me Cause you're here and you're not It's the fear that I've got to believe Camera shy when you wanted the world of fame Kick the dust in my eyes and then say it's a game Happily ever after is just a dream Very coy in your world Every boy every girl that you leave Just keep pretending That this is your happy ending Just keep on pretending That everything's alright That everything's alright And keep playing playing pretend Sing a song to yourself in a blissful sleep Cause baby, I'm eating shit while you're counting sheep But it's all fairy tales when you're breaking hearts Cause you'll open your eyes And forget all the lies that you start So just keep pretending That this is your happy ending Just keep on pretending That everything's alright That everything's alright And keep playing pretend Can't believe there was ever a time I thought That a beautiful magical ghost could be caught But you're so far removed from reality Nothing more than a fable A whore that's unable to breathe So just keep pretending That this is your happy ending Just keep pretending That everything's alright That everything's alright And just stop pretending That this is your happy ending Just please stop pretending That everything's alright That everything's alright And keep playing pretend

System Error 04:33
I need a mechanic I’m in need of a repair I think I short circuited Oh god, this isn’t fair All the motor functions in my heart have gone askew Now I’m left immobile every time I look at you Half the time it’s wonderful And half the time, I’m scared All the time I’m thinking about the kiss that you and I have shared I seem synthetic, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care All I know is that I can’t speak when you’re around Elated and intoxicated, tripping to the ground There must be something wrong with me You overload my system even though you didn’t try Yeah babe, I’m falling for you. It’s a fact I can’t deny I think there’s something wrong with me I feel like a cyborg That achieved humanity Nothing like I’ve felt before Whenever you’re with me I think that you’re beautiful If only I could speak Soft metallic body and a Silhouette mystique Tell me this is magical Or just tell me to stay Tell me that I’m crazy with these feelings that I can’t convey It’s Now or Never, Please tell me do you feel the same? All I know is that I can’t speak when you’re around Elated and intoxicated, tripping to the ground There must be something wrong with me You overload my system even though you didn’t try Yeah babe, I’m falling for you. It’s a fact I can’t deny I think there’s something wrong with me Oh It’s hard to explain Oh It’s hard to contain The virus I can’t get rid of Is it wonderful pain Or am I just insane Primary Function we call love? Oh It’s hard to explain Oh It’s hard to contain The virus I can’t get rid of Is it wonderful pain Or am I just insane What is this function we call love? All I know is that I can’t speak when you’re around Elated and intoxicated, tripping to the ground There must be something wrong with me You overload my system even though you didn’t try Yeah babe, I’m falling for you. It’s a fact I can’t deny I think there’s something wrong with me

Freddy 04:50
You want a real fright? Don’t close your eyes at night Don’t walk the vacant roads Or dare to go outside He sees you when you sleep He knows the fear you keep He loves the smell of dread and loves to hear you weep You’ll never know what’s real Until his claws of steel Tear through your flesh Bloody is pain is all you’ll feel Run! You think you’re brave Ooh Hide! But it won’t save you You’re a goner either way He’s a predator, you’re prey Run! You’ll wake up screaming Hide! Or you’ll die dreaming Are you ready? Are you ready for Freddy? No one believes you kid They fear, heaven forbid You’ve lost your mind But they don’t know what he did They won’t pick up the phone Looks like you’re all alone And Freddy’s etching out Your name on a tombstone Scratch on the phonograph When you can hear him laugh The nightmare never ends Til he rips you in half Run! You think you’re brave Ooh Hide! But it won’t save you You’re a goner either way He’s a predator, you’re prey Run! You’ll wake up screaming Hide! Or you’ll die dreaming Are you ready? Are you ready for Freddy? He’s gonna drag you down! But evil can’t prevail when it’s decayed You can bring him down Don’t be afraid Turn around Don’t flee the sound Of metal claws scraping the ground Run! The table’s turning Hide! The ruse is burning Fight to live another day You’re the predator, he’s prey Run! You’ll wake up screaming Hide! Or you’ll die dreaming Are you ready? Tell me! Are you ready, Freddy?

Late night gazing at the sky She drinks when she’s terrified And her dad says it’s probably best if she died Curled up on the bathroom floor She’s in love with the girl next door But she can’t show her feelings to friends anymore And this world has a heart of stone And some people wanna take away all you’ve known But at least we’re together forever alone He prays with all his might For Jesus to take his sin outright But he can’t hear a sound when he calls in the night Tried to drown in the neighbor’s pool He’s in love with a boy from school But he can’t show his feelings, they’ll call him a fool And this world has a heart of stone And some people wanna take away all you’ve known But at least we’re together forever alone And some nights when we’re on the phone I can hear your fears shaking you to the bone But at least we’re together forever alone Hold me close til the morning light Tell me everything will be alright It gets better It gets better than this Hold me close when I lose my hope Catch my fall at the end of this slope, oh It gets better It gets better than this And this world has a heart of stone And some people wanna take away all you’ve known But at least we’re together forever alone And some nights when we’re on the phone I can hear your fears shaking you to the bone But at least we’re together forever alone

Lately 03:35
Midnight moonlight I’m tangled up in sheets, I can feel icy the breath of hindsight Maybe I can take a drive Maybe I’ll stay inside Oh Nothing I do or say None of it comes out right Oh The ambiance of darkness clenches up its fist To punch a hole through all the hallways where we kissed Nocturnal ghost of all the fears I laid to rest Thought I moved on, but if I’m honest Been dreaming ‘bout you lately Thinking ‘bout you daily Sorry that you hate me My heart is aching greatly Been dreaming ‘bout you lately Been wondering if maybe You’d come back to me baby I think I’m goin’ crazy Been dreaming ‘bout you Sometimes I think I must have made the whole thing up Cause I don’t recall if ever we fell in love But Maybe I can take a drive Maybe I’ll stay inside Oh Nothing I do or say None of it comes out right Oh The ambiance of darkness clenches up its fist To punch a hole through my nostalgia where I reminisce You disappeared completely while I tried my best Thought I moved on, but if I’m honest Been dreaming ‘bout you lately Thinking ‘bout you daily Sorry that you hate me My heart is aching greatly Been dreaming ‘bout you lately Been wondering if maybe You’d come back to me baby I think I’m goin’ crazy Been dreaming ‘bout you Been dreaming ‘bout you Been dreaming ‘bout you Been dreaming ‘bout you lately Thinking ‘bout you daily Sorry that you hate me My heart is aching greatly Been dreaming ‘bout you lately Been wondering if maybe You’d come back to me baby I think I’m goin’ crazy Been dreaming ‘bout you

Only A Dream 05:57
Summer silhouetted boulevard watching the planes soar A few angelic rays decay from the bay to the old drugstore I met her, hoping to leave every grief in the ocean and out of my mind Told me her name but the waves crashed and two halves of our broken hearts were aligned. Not looking for love, we were down in the pits No intimate connection, just the taste of a kiss Now the moment’s over, but I just wanna hold onto this Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream In a comatose state, I relate better than it would seem She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars when you’re falling asleep.” Lonely hotel lobbies where the monsters of youth live Pencil marks in the hearts of the victims who won’t forgive “I know if I can’t be perfect, I’m worthless” A lie that held to be true Her pillow soaks up the tears every year, “Can you hear me? I’m calling to you!” She let her hair down, we graffitied the street I remember how it tasted every time our lips would meet And when I sleep alone, I revisit all those nights on repeat Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream In a comatose state, I relate better than it would seem She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars when you’re falling asleep.” - Instrumental - Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream In a comatose state, I relate better than it would seem She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars no matter how far, cause you and I are a team!” Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream When the world felt alive, she would drive somewhere I’d never seen She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars when you’re falling asleep.”

Sleepwalker 03:56
Wake me up it’s not a dream I can’t breath, I want to scream Once, I knew your lips were soft Now this nightmare’s all I got

Be My Escape 03:54
Painted skies and cheap wine I join the crowd, quarter after nine It’s so hard to forget her But I want to feel better I see you dance on the ceiling You help me learn a new feeling Won’t you be my Escape Won’t you stay til I wake I’m sorry you’ve got her smile though I’m certain, but it’s been a while though And this song that they’re playing It drives me insane, She would sing every day Now her voice hurts my brain Comfort in the warmth of your skin Grab your coat, take my car for a spin It’s the chill in the air or the thrill of your hair Captivating my eyes, but my heart is not there Cause she would laugh kinda like you do Even her favorite shirt was Navy Blue too Don’t deserve your affection I just need some connection Of course I think that you’re pretty She only meant the whole world to me Won’t you be my Escape Won’t you stay til I wake

Polaroid 06:27
Love is made from blood Silver pillars in the flood Old forgotten wires Mud-collecting tires And she wipes off a tear Her reflections in the mirror And she’s so alone The field of broken dreams She feels like machine Collateral extreme Looking for love in a screen All of her fuel is gone A never ending song There’s still a girl inside This overlooked Automaton Save all of your dreams on a Polaroid Your fantasy, swept into the void First time, fell in love, when the kids learned to dance On the moon by the late afternoon Threw our raincoats on the ground Sneaking at the speed of sound Hiding from the teachers Smoking by the bleachers With her divided home Is it wrong? Cause when in Rome We blend In This was the hardest part To kill a work of art And burn the Avant-Garde Looking for love in the stars But everybody cries It’s hard to verbalize She ran away from home And fell into the sunrise Save all of your dreams on a Polaroid Your fantasy, swept into the void First time, fell in love, when the kids learned to dance On the moon by the late afternoon Save all of your dreams on a Polaroid Next stop, back in time, on an asteroid Last night, you were here, but I blinked and you Faded from view, like the late afternoon Tell me if we should have parted. Up and out before we started. A paper room discarded. Tell me, were we so fainthearted. While your gears inside were guarded, laying limp across your carpet. Crying was so cathartic, Half our world was left uncharted Save all of your dreams on a Polaroid Your fantasy, swept into the void First time, fell in love, when the kids learned to dance On the moon by the late afternoon Save all of your dreams on a Polaroid Next stop, back in time, on an asteroid Last night, you were here, but I blinked and you Faded from view, like the late afternoon

about

Together Forever Alone is the Fourth Studio album by Hideotronic. Technology has brought us together in ways we never thought possible,
and its impact will likely be noticeable forever,
but despite the connection, we often feel more alone than ever before.
