lyrics

[M]
Gaze deep, obsidian soul.
Drain your sum, your parts, your whole.
The heart’s abyss yet seeks your dive.
Though I am death, I make you alive.

[S]
Faint flicker pierces glass, calls me beyond.
Pale phantoms mimic life.
An artifice of flesh and light.

[P]
Smoke and mirrors.

[S]
This smoke rises forever.
I watch it in the reflector.
My heart, excised, vein by vessel,
Desiccated and displayed.
This is what I choose.

[A]
What will a man do when the well runs dry?
I have leapt to the bottom to dig.
Dying of thirst, I seek water from a spring
That has never once quenched.
I am the definition of insanity.
The void stares back at me.

[P]
Open up your eyes.
The truth will not be far.
Though your despairing tongue begs it depart.
The fires of your eye reduce your mind to ash.
The embers of a soul trapped inside the looking glass.
Open up your eyes, wider than the sky.
She shows you what you are.

[S]
Stay down, stay down!
[P]
Open up your eyes.
[S]
Get down, get down!
[P]
Wider than the sky.
[S]
Stay down, stay down…
[P]
Embers of a soul.
[S]
Get down, get down…
[P]
Inside the looking glass.
[S]
Slow down...slow down!

[A]
In the darkness, darkness I see; the darkness in me.
In the darkness, nothing to see.
The darkness is me.

I'm Losing Myself
by An Isolated Mind

supported by 14 fans who also own “III: The Silicon Mirror”

Rien de pire que de voir quelqu'un en train de sombrer et ne pouvoir rien faire. Vous êtes animés par votre empathie, vous voulez tendre la main mais l'autre se perd. I'm Losing Myself, premier album de An Isolated Mind, est un rouage tragique que personne ne peut arrêter. Kameron Bogges met en avant un tiraillement horrible, entre un post-metal d'une grande beauté par sa simplicité et des dissonances affreuses, aliénées (le piano sur "I'm Losing Myself"). Sur le fil du rasoir — trop tard...? Jordan Vauvert
