about

Rise and Fall relates to the hardest point in time in Alex's life, when first realizing he was alone at the age of 21. He tries to recreate his past steps and become a rage prophet. He starts his journey with a clear purpose to awaken the people that surround him about the false world they live in. Shortly after, Alex realizes he had been overlooked, and that no one believes him, and in fact they feel comfortable maintaining their current daily lives. In the midst of it all, Alex finds comfort in his depression, his demons reach out to him in his time of despair while reassuring him that he is where he needs to be.

The track starts off with a heavy groove intro, but it breaks once the verse enters with a drum & bass like groove basically stating the main characteristic nature of the song which is a sort of bi-polar feeling as the energy stretches back and forth in. The song contains some odd signature rhythms and polyrhythmic components and even leans into different genres.

lyrics

Rise And Fall

It can't make sense
we're left with pieces of information
expected to cope
We are the remains of a complex world.
How come I can't switch it off
Paddling a sea of idol beliefs afar
Pause my lurid images
Is there a thing that'll soften the grip at all?
rise and fall, rise and fall
our society
had let us go.
now the wind lifts me up and it’s making me stronger,
soon I'll lift the weight on my own
invisible cities distract attention
still looking for my innocence,
Still looking for a clearer sense.
We won't be here for long, we're just here
To make sure you are alive,
It's not a matter of loss, it's the meaning,
So if you don't mind, let your future be mine.
so far we've been flung peacefully.
driven in our minds though shrink and hide to the sight of fear
So far we’ve laid dormant in the soil.
bloomed into the fragile forms we are.
Am I alone?
How come I can't switch it off,
Paddling a sea of idol beliefs afar,
Pause my lurid images,
Is there a thing that'll soften the grip at all?
invisible cities distract attention
still looking for my innocence,
Still looking for a clearer sense.
We won't be here for long, we're just here
To make sure you are alive
It's not a matter of loss, it's the meaning
So if you don't mind, let your future be mine.
rise and fall, rise and fall X4
