Poesy Rider Je vous aurais bien dit pourquoi il faut à tout prix découvrir ce groupe, mais là, tout de suite, je n'ai pas le temps...Je suis parti à réfléchir sur la place que va occuper cet album dans mes recherches sur la métaphysique transcendantale. à plus ! Favorite track: Made Up Beliefs.

Theatre of the Mind 06:08
lyrics

loss of all visual experiences dormant agog cells erupt unanticipated sight flash of rainbow shapes facial features all askew animated characters, even palinopsia a silent movie in full color theater of the mind conceived by the machinery of the brain others perceive it as insanity.. ..deep inside the cranial cavity the occurrences interworkings of a complex web firing of specialized cells abnormal brain activity encoding eyes, teeth, cartoons and buildings little emotional attachment.. ..and lack of familiarity

Marble Marmalade Mermaid Fantasy 04:22

the ocean's in your eyes vacant desserts lost between.. ..ships and the shoreline clumps of knowledge, understanding constant movement coming and going never knowing a rich paradise of beauty and enlightenment.. ..converted into a statue without life.. ..when the volcano no longer erupts waves wash away the memoirs.. ..frozen as a sculpture from the water.. ..and the insights of the sky so let the gusts of wind reveal.. ..her feet beneath the sand seven years circle round.. ..converting shape into a dream the ocean's in your eyes.. ..never to be understood

Afterwar Descent 06:24
lyrics

abnormal reactions to a normal experience a frequent culprit being extreme trauma an accelerated adrenaline response battle, abuse, unpredictable disasters overly alert and conscious uncontrollable threats to your life dream quality of existence tilting between memory and reality sporadic fighting, facing flashbacks avoidance of triggering stimuli increased arousal, steady fracas mode isolation as a coping system where the sting can’t drag you to face your fears alone at home, blinds shut tight, weeks spent avoiding the panic of recurring trauma wanting it all to go away.. ..but trapped in the fear and thoughts repressing who you are and used to be

A Strong Driving Force 05:16
lyrics

is sexuality shaped before one's eyelids.. ..are stretched open for the first time? hormones, genes, surroundings, family history creates an intricate concoction modifying inter mechanisms.. ..and affecting one’s viewpoint.. ..on the outward appearance we say a daughter must amuse herself.. ..with dolls and sons with guns but what happens when the characters are switched? young children feeling a disconnect between.. ..physical form and gender roles.. ..living in a world of confusion and misunderstandings clashes between reflections.. ..of image and internal self a lad who continuously wants to play wife.. ..in the game of house who cares for a sweet doll in a pink dress a lass who plays military battle games who spends her time in pure aggression children distant from support and acceptance what is one to do when they experience.. ..a strong driving force? children distant from support and acceptance a driving force to be what they are physically not

is what we see actuality?.. ..or mutations of sensory input? are decisions made by us.. ..or is our subconscious driving our daily acts? ilusion ilusio-n conclusions without cognizant thinking.. ..subliminally will soon become reality undersupplied in control behavior compelled by no conscious state non conscious state

Prior Zealous Functions 04:46
lyrics

jerking travels begin the dance.. ..that guides you through life skin clings to bones, hands over head, legs bending and stretching a flip a coin chance of living an ancestor’s experience rewinding the video and replaying with you in their footsteps as you reach for a sip, the glass shoots across the table as you glide over the floor, you pretzel and end up facing south transversing body from tips regressing back to the control center.. ..as body takes on a dubious mold the mind follows as dementia seeps into every crevice like an avalanche rational faculties tumble words meant to communicate push further from realism slurred and broken speech mirrors the cloud.. ..that covers prior zealous functions sounds seep to express but modest clockwork is understood

Made Up Beliefs 06:46
lyrics

obsessions, repugnant thoughts, images, impulses for means of control and mastery plagued by the innermost thoughts.. ..with acknowledgement of irregular activities crooked and cracked they are among all of us born serotonin teeter totters made up beliefs rule procedures a marionette’s life rendered by puppet master of fixations compulsions manifest to ease the fascination wake up test it 3 times, not two, always 3 the meticulous patterns can’t be broken a continuous might that breaks the psyche.. ..of those called individuals can anything be done? the anxiety must be smothered

swinging from the pendulum from north to west energy that fails to cease wrenching shift in who you are across roy to biv never knowing the next day who you will be stability shakes, shakes and crumbles time means nothing without the motivation to do beings appear and disappear voices whisper in the wind phantoms and catalyses.. ..guide your unforeseen actions time passes as you lie in bed smoke rises as you sink deeper flipping through your mind numbers

Paranoide de la Personalidad 08:14
lyrics

they are walking all around you they are conspiring against you it is watching you it is following you the feeling never ends engulfing all other thoughts you hear them coming.. ..but you know that you’ll be prepared when they arrive your head swivels.. ..constantly checking your existing surroundings chasing your thoughts, trying to catch and smother them danger lurks around every turn.. ..and around every bend in your mind.. ..creeps anxious thoughts is there anyone you can trust.. ..when mistrust and suspicion power social dealings? life’s an unvariable guessing game your mind never rests from pondering, questioning unreal predictions.. ..for the future - distant and near and nobody grasps the world like you
