lyrics
Cast your boundaries aside
Illusive connections are what make you feel alive
Decide what others can see
You strive to be appreciated by people you have never met
What's your freedom meant to be
The world lies at your feet or vanishes with a swipe
Constant availability of dopamine
Sure there are endless possibilities
Yet seeing them unfold don't you feel lost in this endless sea
Of countless people seemingly never being in misery
Vast lands, unlimited space yet there is no place for you
What's your importance in society
If everything people think is what you make them to believe
Being followed doesn't make you a leader
Engage the algorithms of expandability
One as good as the other but not good enough for you
Since true decisions plant only one seed which takes time to prosper
You prefer a forest though its trees are lacking roots
A lonely captain on a lonely ship
Islands call his name from afar
But his commitment to the ocean makes him feel so unbound
Sea sick he's still in denial for his need of solid ground
A perfect canvas conceals mildew on claustrophobic walls
You're bathing in applause, this drug helps you to deal with your inabilities
Psychedelic trips triggered by surreal visions of a better life
Paradoxical liberties obscure what's within sight
There is a pursue of a virtual engram, an advanced version of yourself
In compulsive fashion you're chasing every thrilling opportunity
Though true interest is null, you just do because you can
And so your fickleness fakes honest self-confidence
As your individuality got lost in the endless sea ages ago
And the trees of the forest threaten to crush your skull by breaking apart
And every new beginning has an expiry date
As particularity suffers from constant availability
And every encounter is just preparing the next
For we do not believe in something like eternity
So we're wearing a mask, a bland face that could be exchanged by any other
As trust is the only thing we don't throw around like staple
Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723
Abstract Illusion achieve to create an imaginary landscape that magnets to our metallic soul. An extraordinary rounded album that will continue spinning for a long period. josich
A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
