Between lust and emptiness – White Ritual strike the right note
I'll be honest: electric guitars in electronic tracks don't usually appeal to me. But in White Ritual's "Ritual Lust", they blend so unobtrusively and organically into the soundscape that they leave room for the synthesizers instead of taking it away. These synths are bold, darkly shimmering and carry the song with a crystalline elegance, over which Lily's soft, warm vocals are layered – almost like a counter-spell against the harshness of the rock elements. It is precisely this balance that appeals to me: electro-rock, but with the emotional depth of a genuine dark wave piece.
Lyrically, Ritual Lust remains in this limbo between desire and loss, between fire and ashes. The lines "Let everything burn and see tomorrow" sum it up quite well – this song sounds like a longing that dissolves into sound.
The music video is visually impressive, aesthetically dark and fitting for the track. Only the AI sequences seem too obvious unreal and, above all, too generic, and to be honest, I could have done without them.

Lust
Secrets on fire
Lust
Secrets are hidden
For me
Change the landscape into black, hide the truth beneath our lifes,
I try hard to survive, to survive
Your body smells of lies
You broke everything you could
I just let it all sink in
I just wanna hide into somehow
Let everything burn and see tomorrow
If i can get up and leave this sorrow sorrow
Lust
Secrets on fire
Lust
Leavin for mercy
For me
I just wanna hide into somehow
Let everything burn and see tomorrow
If i can get up and leave this sorrow sorrow
Burn the silence into dust
Drown the hope beneath our eyes
I fall deep to comply, to comply
Your shadow fills my scars
You took everything you could
I just let the void crawl in
Nos corps se sont mêlés
Je suis perdue a tes côtésMon amour ne sert a rien
Ta luxure sera ma fin
I just wanna hide into somehow
Let everything burn and see tomorrow
If i can get up and leave this sorrow sorrow
I just wanna hide into somehow
Let everything burn and see tomorrow
If i can get up and leave this sorrow sorrow
