(11:50) Concerns the destructive nature of fear, whether projected upon an individual from external sources or purely internalized.
This is pure progressive rock. The songs are very long, very high energy with metal influences but very unstructured with many tempo changes and time signature
Story behind the song
Written and Recorded in 1994. Remixed and partially rerecorded in March 2007.
Lyrics concern the destructive nature of fear, whether projected upon an individual from external sources or purely internalized. The story revolves around two seperate men, one who is HIV positive and thus has to deal with the fear of society upon him, the other of which is rendered incapacitated by his inability to leave his own apartment for fear of the outside world.
Lyrics
Tainted child pirouettes to confront..(I forget)
Savior crawls under wire
(The secret sins of fractured days)
Bracing rites reconcile
The crushing signs regenerate)
Talking the course of vagrant indignities
Fractal vision incites
Teaching the rape of spiraling quarantines
Institutionalized
Pro-Form the radiant symbolic state In the air of a mobile disgrace
Pricking with pins on the retison grave To protect the mock social embrace
Spinning away as a floating disease Eating raw the faint sentient ideals
Writing the testament on tender walls To invent a stark enduring creed
(Spoken once, afraid; Incomplete, unseen; Escalating......)
Droning green suspicion
Freedom on a shelf
Viral frozen pictures
We consume ourselves
I dont mind faceless conversations
There is no way out
Locked inside to play out implications of myself
Daybreak whispers, song-dressed, informed
New day excites me, slumbers, slithering, recalls...
I wake up in a frenzy, somethings out to get me
Can I comprehend its form?
I understand the need to break out of this circle
Cages under glass unfold on.., on.., on..., on.., on....
Sunlight shifting, space-aged, dissolved
New day surrounds me, embryonically evolved
A mirror shadows reconditioning
The pieces mend in separate spheres
Relentless escapades revive the pace
A face forgetting spiral stairs
I fear the water plotting silently
I fear the echoes clutching walls
They tell me things that bring their secret offerings (ah)
I fear the dance of visitants
Undermined differences attraction
Cut inside morbid satisfaction with anomalies
Look beyond its draining curiosity
The control refraining onto...
Raging deep into isolation
I can understand the need to...(fly)....
Hide myself to deny me someway to define myself
To pretense its alteration
Ravies covet insects
They know just what it takes to stay alive
A peculiar system
Conditioning precautionary cyanide
I defied the densities reside
In a sense to conjure immortalities
To redeem essential sane fatalities
And drench the shallow waves
Phony pale tradition
Freedom under spells
Mangled painted postcards
We fragment ourselves
Reaction shelters inconsistencies
Beneath its digital reprose
I understand the need to hide yourself
I hide myself in psychic wars
I feel the fear in spatial instances
Between its aerial condemned
In repositioning the enemy within me
In fear I fear the fear again
Twilight glistens, Cross-bred in time
Shadows enclose me, cradled, sensuous, refined
A sickening retreat in subtle conversation
Maniacally evading, chemically persuading
To reinvent the need to break out of this circle
In sleep's release I drift away, once more...
