revel in the reverie
I’m screaming from within
to satiate my appetite
on honey sweet skin
Desire, dangerous and all-consuming, courses through these lines like a fever that will not break. Obsession masquerades as devotion, every thought circling back to a single question: how far must one go to be worthy? The hunger for closeness, for recognition, gnaws like a dull ache, while love twists itself into something desperate, something burning. The rival, ever-present, lingers like a spectre, an unspoken challenge. In the end, the question hangs unanswered…does sacrifice prove love, or is it just another illusion to chase?
From the restless underbelly of New York’s gloom-streaked rock scene, Some Days Are Darker unveils Obsession (Die For You)—a feverish, unrelenting plea wrapped in lust, longing, and a hint of the abyss. The brainchild of Lear Mason, a former metalcore guitarist turned architect of brooding balladry, the project channels a transformation both personal and sonic. Mason wields lyrics like incantations, unraveling the tangled web of desire and despair. His verses, at once seductive and unsettling, summon echoes of unseen horrors; a reminder that love, at its most intense, straddles the thin line between devotion and the void.
The lyric video unfolds like a hypnotic vision, drenched in crimson and desire, an abstraction of longing and obsession. Lips prep, part and linger, eyes smolder with an unspoken hunger, and flames twist and consume, mirroring the passion and recklessness within the song’s verses. The visuals move in time with the track, blurring the line between devotion and destruction. It’s a hypnotic collision of seduction and surrender, where each frame radiates intensity, drawing the viewer deeper into its fiery embrace. The performance smolders, a slow burn of want and unrelenting need.

Obsession (Die For You) extends the narrative of TV-MA, their latest EP—an intricate composition split into five movements, each unraveling with hypnotic intent. Glistening guitar lines entwine with spectral synths and driving percussion, an alloy of past and present, nostalgia and now. Beneath the noir-streaked darkwave façade, the melodies glisten, elevating Mason’s yearning baritone—a voice steeped in longing yet resolute. TV-MA plays like a cinematic anthology, each track a vignette of devotion, dissolution, and reinvention, where love disintegrates, reforms, and resurfaces anew, a cycle etched into the ether, relentless in its repetition.
