about

Karma actually starts from the conclusion, that we are all temporary, and so our actions are also temporary, but it also plants seeds and affects our surroundings. Alex realizes he had been under the same ego trip as the people he had blamed for his misfortune and mistreatment. This criticism slowly throughout the song becomes self pity and grief on the self, and instead of channeling these emotions to becoming better for himself and for others, Alex channels it into depression and self hatred.

The music reflects the duality Alex holds, and builds up from this moment of clarity with an atmospheric reggae feel that drives you gradually into a fast and thrashy instrumental groove that drops at the verse. Although the song maintains its extreme energy while showcasing intensive changes in mood and tempo, it still maintains certain softer moments, the chorus being one of them. Throughout the track, the chorus increases in its energy up until the third and last one. The outro is stripped down into a piano only that uses the melody from the melody in a broken kind of way, desperately outlining the need to refuel energy and rest.

lyrics

KARMA

plastic, rich and elastic, it’s what lasts at best.
We are like Rust sticks , and old age kicks in fast - too fast.
We are like stones, sinking deeper inside our hole.
you can deny it, it will come knocking on your door.
This is far from you, sitting there entertained
Deflecting misery.
A world that’s stacked with lies,
so high you can't see through
A soldier in your plot, getting fucked
Wasted with poison, ignoring thoughts
I see you're having fun.
drag me through the land
I have nothing more to give
and raise the price of life
for the hope that's left.
excuses forced in to my life
if I could only stay intact.
I've closed my eyes too many times,
absurdly praising lies.
I'm worn of this stupidity,
crouching down on four to create a fantasy
So I reject the outside world
and I'll rebuild it as my own.
drag me through the land
I have nothing more to give
and raise the price of life
for the hope that's left.
Then slowly I malformed into a shallow tool
Feel the emptiness absorbs into my skin
Douses my remaining consciousness
I want to let it out, but then I choke
So I've replaced the outside world with these four walls
Discolored by weakness,
And sunk in grief, I mind no one but my own-self.
drag me through the land
I have nothing more to give
and raise the price of life
for the hope that's left.
