Re-mixed by AA in 2022 from the original 2018 session takes.
lyrics
So many people feel
Oh so right in their skin
So many people feel
Just so perfect in their head
Well that was never me
I was always wrong
I never just felt free
To do the things that made me truly me
All I need is a simple
Change in my chemistry
All I need is a simple
Change in my chemistry
It makes my head feel right
My body matching my brain
Yes there are side effects
But I kind of like them
Keep pushing it all down
Never let them really see
Constant pretending makes you drown
The lovely person you can be
Live life in shades of gray
Shadows of yourself bleed through
You know that you can't stay
Buried for one more, one more day
(Chorus)
Hacking on my reptile brain
Frees my head, was I insane?
It helps me lose all sense of shame
Releasing me from toxic chains
And all it really took was
A couple simple pills
And all it really took was
A couple simple molecules
(Chorus)

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
