about

Our hero has finally decided to cross over into the unknown. They have left their ordinary world and cannot turn back. They have finally decided to embark upon the journey whether that be seeking love, fame, or maturity. It is never too late to change who we are, but some habits are harder to break. This song represents the changes we must make in order to function properly in today’s modern computerized culture, as well as a criticism of certain human institutions that exploit the suffering of the people for their own gain. Soon there will be a change, and the submissed will be heard. This track is inspired by acts like Daft Punk, Tauk, and Tame Impala. Modern sounds and production gives this a rock feel coated in an electric dance fondue.

lyrics

We’re getting closer, getting higher,
Getting more than we asked for.
Life’s getting tougher, going faster,
Going further than we’ve been before.

I’ll awaken from this dream and
Seize this new reality
While the moon wanes crescent
It reflects past to present
I’ll lift the black veil from my face
And reconnect the human race
While man poisons his waters
The time it falters

Please take a number, take a breather
Take a moment for yourself
I’m feeling anxious, feeling depressed
Feelin’ like I wanna turn this around

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
