Artist picture
Melodramatic electroclash with a few Keith Emerson solos thrown in
VOSTOK LAKE is an exponent of "portable techno-folk for the 21st century" hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. VOSTOK LAKE is a culturally revolutionary organisation aiming to supersede and replace guitar-based rock music altogether. VOSTOK LAKE's musical style is a careful balance of 80's-style beats, prog-rock inspired keyboard pyrotechnics and carefully crafted lyrical hand-grenades. Some songs deal with contemporary politics. Others tell stories of angst, comedy and high weirdness. Kelkaj estas en la internacia lingvo Esperanto.

Story behind the song
The fourth song in the inaccurately named "Anastasia" trilogy. I was dared to write this one by my record company
Lyrics
Little Anastasia hasn’t eaten in a week She’s reaching for the other side Her mind’s like a needle that’s impossible to seek The spirits of the books are her guide “Let me go, let me go, My life is mine to show I now reject this planet All my enemies can cram it” But they’ll never let Stacey go, Oh no, This town will never let her go. Little Anastasia cried “no-one understands me” Or knew how badly she’d been hurt Her dad was so upset, that he just broke down and let Her wear the vinyl corset and the fishnet skirt “Let me go, let me go, My life is mine, you know, I now reject this planet All my enemies can cram it” But they’ll never let Stacey go, Oh no, Your parents will not let you go. Stacey’s getting thinner She keeps on slipping through The cracks between her lunch and dinner So what’s a girl to do? Little Anastasia took a bottle full of pills Posted on her Internet page The paramedic team broke her door to smithereens She shouted in a fit of rage: “Let me go, let me go, My life is mine to show I now reject this planet All my enemies can cram it” But they’ll never let Stacey go, Oh no, They’ll never let Stacey go. Stacey’s getting thinner She keeps on slipping through The cracks between her lunch and dinner So what’s a girl to do? And oh, she is a sinner Her world is of intolerable pain Oh, she’s getting thinner She won’t believe in God And someone stole her I-pod How can you ask her to remain? Little Anastasia went walking to the mall Bought herself some brand new clothes And down at the graveyard, her boyfriend gave her A single blood-red rose “Let us go, let us go, Our place is down below We now reject this planet And those idiots can cram it” But a suicide pact Isn’t quite a private act When your friends break in And they drag you off again Because your friends will never let you go Oh no We will never let you go.
