about

'Promised' is the second collaboration between retrowave/italo disco duo Bunny X & retrowave/80s eclectics, Thought Beings. Following the release of their 1980s Hi-NRG inspired single 'Cross the Line,' released in December 2022, the Aztec Records labelmates saw fit to release another similarly-styled track.

Not unlike Cross the Line, Promised highlights the best of the 1980s with synthetic disco, freestyle and Hi-NRG elements reminiscent of Johnny O, Cynthia, Noel and of course early Madonna.

Also similar to Cross the Line, the lyrics in Promised describe a love story gone awry due to hidden secrets and lies. 'Promised' lets us know that some promises are better left unsaid when 'words are just weapons.'

lyrics

[LYRICS]

Every day just the same
as the one before I met you
I’d get on crowded train twice a day
Maybe three

You get used to the monotony
But I wouldn’t call it easy
The days quickly fade into evenings
alone by the TV

You promised me romance
and you said we’d dance
all night if I wanted to
But your words are just weapons
All lies and deception
I bought everything
like a fool

I was fine on my own
Give or take some paranoia
I’d get home from work by nine
Crawl into bed
Try to sleep

But that routine was getting old
Felt like I was barely breathing
So when you happened to walk through my door
I gave my heart freely

You promised me romance
and you said we’d dance
all night if I wanted to
But your words are just weapons
All lies and deception
I bought everything
like a fool

Why don’t you stop
cuz you’re tearing me apart
I hear the rumors everyday
And I just can’t carry on this way with you

Your words are like weapons
All lies and deception
You promised me romance
and you said we’d dance
all night if I wanted to
But your words are just weapons
All lies and deception
I bought everything
like a fool

Why don’t you stop
cuz you’re tearing me apart
I hear the rumors everyday
And I just can’t carry on this way with you
