UNTIL MY HULL HITS THE ICE

(Matt Duffie)

A love song of sorts - using Greek mythology. The imagery is of loneliness and longing.

Can you count the ways
We pass each other in the night?
Can you speak to the waves?
I would laugh at the way we sink
If I knew what it meant.

I am not a man of faith or of prayer;
My temple is my home
And no place to worship Neptune.
I’ve not seen the god in many years
And I do not stand on ceremony.

Closer now, she said to me.
Closer, please, my love.
I haven’t had the skin to feel you in
Oh! How long?

The things we make in times of war
Are meant for times of peace.
But can there be peace when 
The enemy is drowned?

Apologies. Apostasy.
Incredible sensations!
We speak to gods whose names
Have faded into the lost memory of the ages.
The gods we can neither see nor hear.

So can you guide me along these waters
Until my hull hits the ice?

WIRES

By Matt Duffie

This is a sad song about what happens after an accident. The speaker does not quite understand what's happened to them.

SUBLIMINAL DISCOURSE

By Matt Duffie

As with SUPERLIMINAL, this is part of a theoretical sci-fi concept album revolving around the search for The Chosen One. It's another kind of trippy scene.

THE GATE KEEPERS

By Matt Duffie

I wrote this after listening to "Warp Riders" by The Sword (American Doom Metal band) and wondered how much fun it would be to write a concept album. This is part of a theoretical concept album about space-faring people seeking The Chosen One. Though, it could just as easily be a trippy sci-fi track.

Stranded

By Taimoor Havok

This song is about feeling lost and alone but still having a tiny ray of hope because you believe in yourself. It is also about a relationship that's hanging by a thread and is about to end but there is still hope.
