Multiplying the burden
Stacking up all that shit
The foundation long since out of sight
Losing grip, losing confidence
Unable to thrive
Those beloved idle days drowned in the swamps of stagnation of life
Full stagnation
No salvation
And heavy walls that are tumbling down
Conceal the ruins that are not our own
And all the wrinkles on concrete faces
Are just the sum of self-pity and hatred
Multiplying the burden
Losing grip, losing confidence
Foundation long out of sight
Stagnation, unable to thrive
Bricks that keep crashing down
From the ruins we've built on our own
Stagnation – Frustration
Lost in – contemplation
Selfbuilt damnation
We're creeping in isolation
Frustration – Stagnation
Self in- carceration
Selfbuilt - isolation
We're crawling - in damnation
Revisiting this album today and it is just as powerful and demanding as it was eight years ago. Perfectly pertinent to today's pandemic world and all the other donked up messes facing us. This album reminds us to live... while we may.

Crust with strings is a heartfelt and honest pairing. And the opening track Awoken is such a beautiful track, I can't help but listen to it on repeat. Gemma

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
