Former Cell Division guitarist Miss Torsion expresses a feeling of self-imposed isolation on “Lost.” The electro-post-punk song is reminiscent of ADULT. in its undercurrent of menace and sustained purge of anxiety. And in the last portion of the song it takes a turn into a more upbeat and melodic dance song yet its lyrics with the refrain of “I’m lost the world does not hold me/I’m lost I’m falling no end” and then ending that set of words with “I’m lost I’m falling apart” and concluding with “I fall so deep, see myself from above.” It’s like in the hypnotic and irresistible rhythm Miss Torsion has given herself to that mood and felt it right through to its natural conclusion rather than get distracted from actually feeling those uncomfortable and enervating states of being, experiencing that wave and coming out the other side with a hard won sense of psychological clarity. The more brooding first part of the song and the more dance-y ending reflect this progression in a creative way rather than being so obvious and offering hope without the usual clichés about how it’s going to magically get better. Miss Torsion shows us one way how. Watch the video for “Lost” on YouTube and connect with Miss Torsion at the links provided.
