Passion Pit is an American indietronica band from Cambridge, Massachusetts, formed in 2007. The band consists solely of Michael Angelakos (lead vocals/keyboards), joined live by Chris Hartz (drums), Aaron Harrison Folb (bass/synthesizers), Giuliano Pizzulo (guitar/synthesizers), and Ray Suen (guitar/synthesizers).
The band released their debut album Manners in 2009. A follow up album entitled Gossamer was released in 2012, which debuted at No. 4 on Billboard 200 and gave the band their first top 10 album. Kindred, the band's third album, was released on April 17, 2015 and was preceded by lead singles "Lifted Up (1985)", "Where the Sky Hangs", and "Until We Can't (Let's Go)".
The band culled their name from the Variety Slanguage Dictionary, a glossary of Variety's frequently-used slang, which was provided by the Hollywood insider publication to help not-so-savvy readers decipher its content. The magazine used the term to refer to drive-in theatres, because of their privacy and romantic allure for teenagers.
[Verse 1]
Ballerina, trapped between the
Walls of her own home
Oh God, Kristina
Don't once think that
This madness is my fault alone
Now a nightmare's in the house
Still everyday's another chance
[Hook]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Let's get married, I'll buy a ring and then we'll
Consecrate this messy love
[Verse 2]
Spinning one beat, 'till I finally
Realize how busy I am
We're both so broken, done long hoping
Is that we'll stumble upon our love again
Just believe in me, Kristina
All these demons, I can beat them
[Hook]
[Bridge]
I caught you dancing quietly
It felt like being somebody else
Oh my friend, it seems like
Our love is too lovely for everyone else
