Their new album is called "Intriguer" which, as the leader and songwriter of the band, explains "is French and means to plot something devious". Interesting lyrics in more than one song. Here are two examples. It's a brand new album, so I didn't find proper lyrics yet. So instead of a link, I copy/pasted here and corrected the typos.
He is known to write pretty cryptic lyrics and, instead of making any claims, I can only say: pretty interesting album name, lyrics and booklet picture in this day and age.
"Either side of the world"
Either side of the world / Chase the sun
pay the maximum rate / to feel so lonesome
wrapped up like little lambs /safe from harm
enjoy it while you can /happiness is far from home
you know it, he knows it, everybody knows it
when you’re in luck /the world moves with you
whatever you want /they are happy to give you
at the last resort /where the famous have come
to be alone /they try to work it out
the same progression / sometimes I try too hard to overcome
sometime I think too much / wish I could have held my tongue
you know it , he knows it , everybody knows it
when you’re in luck the world moves with you
whatever they want / you turn yourself into
and then you’re in hell
luxury and leisure / never meant pleasure
we like it different /passion and commitment
you know it, he knows it, everybody knows it
when you’re in luck / the world moves with you
whatever they want, you’ll turn yourself into
then you’re in hell
luxury and leisure never meant pleasure
we like it different /passion and commitment

"Archers arrows"
Kids kissing on the floor /They make a work of art
Up on the gallery wall /They take the world apart
And no one's safe / The tension on the string
We're almost there / It's time to reign over the king
The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)
Aim high / Then the arrow comes down
Take out / The pale imitation
The whole façade is wearing thin /We just paper over cracks
till people take the power back /Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day / See the arrows fly
They tempt you with a prize / Make you master of the house
You look so indifferent now / With the sucker hanging from your mouth
But you can't be safe / You can't betray your will
We're almost gone / It's time to take over the hill
The archer fires away (Send an arrow up)
We hope to rise again (Like an invitation)
Aim high / When the colours come down
Take out / The pale imitation
The whole façade is wearing thin / We just paper over cracks
till people take the power back / Moving out the cavalcade
We live to fight another day
See the archer's arrows fade (Hey, hey)
See the archer's arrows fade (Hey, hey)
See the archer's arrows fade (Soon find out if we make a mark)
See the archer's arrows fade (Soon find out, leave an arrow in my heart)
See the archer's arrows fade
See the archer's arrows fade (Hey, hey)
A picture from the CD-booklet is also interesting:
