lyrics

Go on my friend, you’ll push on through
Double Doors leading to millions more
One Thousand faces already seen
No more voices and no more friends
No more Classes and just one trend
We’re graying, we’re behaving
Only ourselves have we been maiming
The steps you’ve taken have been taken before
Like the sockets now empty, the eyes they used to store
These hallways are full of nothing, just the vastness of our existence
That fades like stars that have already died
Our legs carrying the very light whose origin we’ve failed to recall

These empty hallways still echo our names
Banished here for the way we behaved
Animals at heart, human was our way
Civilized we’re called, primal as the waves
Our past like a shadow the light’s still up ahead
Hounding us like gods after belief is long dead
Our minds self-destructing, or are they really coping?
All that’s left is a suffering beyond pain
With which we considered eloping
We’ll ask ourselves again and again
“what lies at the start of the hallway?”
Never looking back fearing the shadow of the past
Forward is the day that never dies and never sways
Backward is the action that we’ll all consider last

Nick Fields recommends:

Primordia
by Nathaniel Chambers

Elements of Lo-Fi music, as well as drone and just general Electronica. A perfectly tempered and tonally crafted soundtrack to an amazing game. Nick Fields

Mechanics of Emotion
by E L S I A N E

Fantastic blend of World and Electronica, with an endearingly unique vocalist. Nick Fields
go to album
Kinetik
by Phutureprimitive

Excellently mixed and mastered it has a refined sound and groove that you can't help but get into. Incorporates enough styles of electronic music that it can't simply be called Trance, Glitch, or Dub. Nick Fields
