about

After a brutal journey Alex manages to visualize a somewhat brighter horizon but he still carries with him his bag of self pity, confusion and pain. Alex keeps wondering if only he could point the finger to what is inside him that keeps circling back to that big black hole inside him and wishes he could pull himself out of this state of mind and become better.

The track starts with an asymmetric guitar harmony that arrives at an explosion of screams and distortion dressed on an african style drum groove that keeps appearing in the the track acts as a motive. The track has rhythmical twists that lean on different ¾ patterns in most parts and a chorus that takes all the complexity and turns it into a slow motion dance with a flamenco like feel. The middle part of the song is a broken down section that has its own unique character and while being unpredictable and aggressive, it shows much vulnerability that exists despite the rage.

lyrics

A better version of you

Fear steers, Bodies crack,
Brain dead, Can't stop,
Broken Trophies, Collected,
a warp puzzle is scattered.
Watch the landscape as its fading
while new rules are created once more.
No insights to lead you
No borrowed ideas
Stare into your own reflection,
narrow your being, through a strait of un-clarity
slowly to be crushed into a million pieces of despair.
If you could underline
If you could correct
How deep could you reach
if everyone else was blind.
swirling down into the deep.
Step outside and find a better version of you.
Nothing is like the dirt in my mouth
Nothing’s like the burn of my scars.
You've strayed too far,
Kept your head above water,
getting hard to breath,
Baring through the pits.
scratching down the peeling wall ,
searching for some kinda spirit,
shout at every passing voice,
don't bother cause no one can hear it,
Flying through a plastic bag,
gasp for air, gasp for air.
If we could underline
What would we correct
How deep could you reach
if everyone else was blind.
swirling down into the deep.
Step outside and find a better version of you.
swirling down into the deep.
Step outside and find a better version of you.
