Cruc1fy captures the echo of the 80s with 'SAD1STIC'
In the gloomy world of darkwave, there are few songs that both evoke a nostalgic longing for the 80s and offer a fresh, modern approach. Cruc1fy's latest track "SAD1STIC" from the USA does just that and sets itself apart from similar acts such as "Male Tears" or "Soft Riot". Although the use of vocal effects has a certain appeal, the song could benefit from a reduction of these effects in future works in order to bring the raw emotionality of the lyrics even more to the fore.
The track is skilfully arranged, not overloaded and carries an underlying melancholy that is typical of the genre. The lyrical content of "SAD1STIC" plays with dark, almost provocative images – from "Duct tape, dressed in ropes" to "Eyeliner down to your throat". These lines lend the song an almost tangible intensity and make it the perfect companion for long, thoughtful nights or deep conversations in foggy clubs.

Lyrics of "Cruc1fy – SAD1STIC"
(It doesn't hurt me)
Break me down, burn me a little bit
Break me down, burn me a little bit
I know your secret
You wear a collar
Built for disaster
If you dare, I'll spare an hour (break me down)
I'll keep your secret
Promise not to tell
A single soul about those chains
They bound and they bless you (break me down)
Duct tape, dressed in ropes
Eyeliner, down to your throat (break me down)
A little scream, inside your bones
Nowhere to hide from me (break me down)
I know your whole way home
There's no hiding from me
Followed you down back roads
There's no hiding from me (break me down)
Don't need fast cars or Xanax bars
You get your high from me
Keep your head as high as the ropes
Hope you can hold your breath or choke
Don't need fast cars or Xanax bars
You get your high from me (it doesn't hurt me)
Don't need fast cars or Xanax bars
You get your high from me (break me down)
It gets me through the day, when you say "I'm with it" (break me down)
I'm a little sadistic (it doesn't hurt me)
Break me down, burn me a little bit
Duct tape, dressed in ropes
Eyeliner down to your throat
A little scream inside your bones
Nowhere to hide from me
Hide from me
