1.	Ocean of Bitterness 02:38	lyrics	buy track
Into an ocean of bitterness I'm gonna drown myself For all she could have been For all she should have been For all she could have been My Marion Into an ocean of bitterness I’m gonna drown myself I’ll jump right off the bridge  or dive right from the cliff  Into corrosion and nothingness For all she could have been For all she should have been For all she could have been My Marion
2.	A Foretold Ecstasy 04:38	lyrics	buy track
I cling to the bittersweet  Fervent cries and heavy breathing  I behold my destiny  Bloodshot eyes, staring at the ceiling In and out  Inside again  I’m passing out To ease the strain   Well, I’m just glad you made me feel something But it won’t last, I still believe it’s all or nothing I cling to the obsolete  I’m Christian Bland all through the evening A foretold ecstasy  Just hold my hand, while I’m sleeping In and out Inside again I’m passing out To ease the strain Well, I’m just glad you made me feel something But it won’t last, I still believe it’s all or nothing I just don’t have what it takes  I can’t control it, my body aches
3.	Never Sever 03:06	lyrics	buy track
I’m shackled in the past in the vast forever  I moved too fast, that’s all I remember Yeah, I’m shackled in the past  I wish I could go back  Back to Denver Seal my house of glass, I’m the great pretender Secretly at last, I will surrender ‘Cause I’m shackled in the past I wish I could go back  Back to Denver But it can’t be saved  It’s already lost  For all these years went down the drain You know that it cost too much Walk me down the line Tie our hands together Guide me back inside Take me to your heaven We’ll never sever But it can’t be saved  It’s already lost  For all these years went down the drain You know that it cost too much
4.	Marionette 03:56	lyrics	buy track
It's prominent at the break of dawn You're a monument, you're in the raw I feel sick, sinking deeper every time But I will stick, I will keep her by my side Well, alright, then comes another sleepless night I won't fight, I'll pour another glass of wine  Well, alright, then comes another sleepless night I hear you call from the other room  When I descend, it's all for you, I'm falling through Still I’m waiting for signs to prove  It’s all for you I feel sick, sinking deeper every time I feel sick, I got the reaper by my side I turn off the light  Then comes another sleepless night I hear you call from the other room  When I descend, it's all for you, I'm falling through Still I’m waiting for signs to prove  It’s all for you I'm your marionette for life I'm in your cabinet for life
5.	Tightrope Walker 04:18	lyrics	buy track
No strings attached  Just shards of glass  You never lie, you just keep it to yourself  I’ll leave it all behind, just to see it for myself Save my soul  Reach out and seize control  One last try, I can’t help it I’m compelled To drain your mind, just to see it for myself You never lie, you just keep it to yourself  I’ll leave it all behind, just to see it for myself I’m ready for the overture I’m ready for the downfall I’m the tightrope walker Still leaning to your side I’m the tightrope walker Still dreaming myself blind From here I see no one but the shadow of your ghost I loved you the most
6.	Paint It All in Blue 04:51	lyrics	buy track
I was fixed again  By the same old friend I let it go I’ve stopped to care I could go anywhere I let it go I’ll say no more  I’ll lay down to crawl I'm yours  To have and to hold And it feels so real I’ll say no more  I’ll lay down to crawl I'm yours  To have and to hold Fade my love for you  I curse the sun, I curse the moon  And paint it all in blue  Echoes of my only truth  I’ve been through it all, it’s nothing new Red, white then blue
7.	Queen of the Underworld 04:35	lyrics	buy track
It might be just too late It might just be your fate It might be just too late Just leave this town Down the river, by the lake Lies the burden of their hate Down the river, by the lake Where she was found Another day we would escape I still wait for you to wake Another day we would escape Just leave this town Down the river, by the lake Lies the burden of their hate Down the river, by the lake Where she was found On and on  Barely holding on Carve your name into my skin  With your fingernails or a safety pin And you will live on  When all of this is gone On and on  Barely holding on Without a sound, a silent scream  She went down, now she's the queen of the world beneath Just like Persephone
8.	Crippled Crow 03:46	lyrics	buy track
I’m black-eyed Torn apart  You put my system down, but you cannot touch my heart I'm shaking Gone too far  If I resist you now, will you bring me back to start? I'm aching You’re a scar  But when I hit the ground I feel a rush of blood to my heart I'm fading In my runaway car  I can't resist you now, will you skin me part by part? Ain't it strange, everyone will change but me  I'm laying low like a crippled crow, come set me free Or lie with me, meet me in the meadow Needless to say I still miss you now You're a needle in the hay Ain't it strange, everyone will change but me  I'm laying low like a crippled crow, come set me free Or die with me, meet me in the meadow Set my heart on fire Let it all transpire Like you did last summer
9.	Insight for the Mourning Hours 05:13	lyrics	buy track
She was born in the pouring rain Heaven fell from the sky  And took her away  She was close yet so far away She was already gone She couldn't stay I can’t get no sleep, I’m devoured by memories In a sudden stream it all comes down on me Her swan song forever resonates I never saw her eyes  Just her face I can’t get no sleep, I’m devoured by memories In a sudden stream it all comes down on me I will never forget  Without a warning sign  A constant void in time ever since you left Without a warning sign Until the afterlife  I will never forget I will long for you  Forever and ever  She belongs to me and I belong to you Forever and ever  She deserves to be  Redeemed by dreams and recreated

Our long-awaited third album ‘Insight’ feels like the defining moment of the band’s history and the conclusion of a trilogy: It’s everything our debut ‘Observed in a Dream’ (2016) and the sequel ‘Prepared for a Nightmare’ (2020) hinted at — and more. Mixed and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (known for his work with The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, and The Vacant Lots), our sound has been refined into a sharper and more expansive sonic landscape than ever before. This album sees us exploring greater depths and heights, embarking on a hypnotic journey through the shadows, filled with pulsating post-punk, shimmering shoegaze and atmospheric psych-noir.  

The recording process was a bit different than on our previous releases. Frontman Trond Fagernes penned and recorded the guitar, bass, and vocals with a drum machine first, then acoustic drums and synths were added later as well as guitar contributions on some songs by returning founding member Rune Øverby. This process enabled more experimentation and creative freedom with each instrument before adding them layer by layer. 
 
‘Insight’ is the album we’ve always wanted to create, but at the same time it’s the most personal and emotionally hardest we’ve made so far. Lyrically, it delves into a wide range of emotions, from somber reflections about loss and sorrow to feverish depictions of love, escapism and catharsis.  

The album is dedicated to Marion Serck Fagernes

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
