Two Games Joined

Two Games Joined is a music project inspired by nerdy things. Mostly video games. No genre boundaries included.

MEMBERS:

Gnegon - direction, vocals, bass guitar, writing, visual art

Flyghtning - programming, production, keys, vocoder

Kelen - electric guitar

Two Games Joined is a band/project that builds on the foundations of nerdcore, and strives to expand as vastly on them as possible. The main idea is to take inspiration, cues, themes and songs from all things nerdy - video games, comics, cartoons, sci-fi and fantasy altogether, etc. - and try to take it in a direction that both sounds cool and carries a cohesive meaning. Two Games Joined rarely operates on songs alone; rather, ideas are constructed into releases (so far only EPs and singles) as a meaningful whole. As a result, Two Games Joined doesn't really have a genre - it's "post-nerdcore" which is a term we made up and pretty much sums up everything written out in this paragraph. Most often, it's some sort of mixture of rock/metal and electronics.

Independent artist Two Games Joined drops "Control (Theme for Equius)", an Industrial track on SoundClick. There is an authenticity to the performance that draws the listener in. This track holds its own in the industrial landscape — a confident, well-executed piece. If Electronica, Rock and Techno is your sound, "Control (Theme for Equius)" is a strong addition to your playlist.

Story behind the song

I won't lie, this one is so heavily inspired by Nine Inch Nails it could pretty much be a NIN B-side. Then again, it only helps to fit the character this much more.

Also, I myself am a Sagittarius. So yeah.

Mixed by Luigi Elettrico. We did what we could with the tools, time and communication we had, I believe.

Lyrics

I'm sitting estranged in here
Illuminated by the screen
While you were never there to begin with

I dream about you still
I have a way to make you real
And as pure and as strong as carved in acrolith

See we're all just mechanisms
Devoid of altruism
What is the difference I'd make

And I am burning inside
But I force this heat to hide
The patient and obedient have it all to take

'Cause I need to control you
And I need your control
I need to control you
Yeah, I need control!

Tear me apart, throw me down to the floor
Just please abuse me, I hang too loosely
Rip out your heart, 'cause I still need some more
If you can use me, then I will be whole

I hold my breath, I'm in the void
I watch you get destroyed
Better put yourself where you belong

So as the sweat drips on my skin
I look for a way in
The clock is ticking, our time is not long

But you know, I'm so frustrated
How I'm stuck and how evaded
Rejected and tainted to bone

My only friend, she calms me down
But how long I can go now
Imagine what I could be truly left alone

'Cause I need to control you
And I need your control
I need to control you
Yeah, I need control!

Tear me apart, throw me down to the floor
Just please abuse me, I hang too loosely
Rip out your heart, 'cause I still need some more
If you can use me, then I will be whole

I need to control you
I need your control
I need to control you
I need your control

Despite my hateful desire
This bow will not fire
When I'm down on my knees
You may do as you please

Exquisite
Delectable
Depravity
