Into Empty Seas

Only remember what I displace
I've forgotten what it means
The space between is all that matters
Intervals transition
Time passes
Looking back I'm lost
But forward I'm scared
So I'm looking down
Forever ennui
Forever me
I am lost
Forever lost

Backlit
06:16
|
|
||
|
A repetition in knowing
A repetition in nothing
An eternal return to the blur of motion
Motion towards an ever shifting target
I won't know if I've done right
Until the sun has peeled my back
Dancing rays and fleeting feeling
Close my eyes and I'll be gone

Husks
07:50
|
|
||
|
A hard truth, a stone to swallow
A harmonious multitude of voices
All hollow in want
The pulling distress
emptiness
Provides me no relief
It bears no joy
Only brings an epiphany of
dissatisfaction
All paths lead the same way
To a husk of anguish
With worlds leading to an endpoint of nothing
I'll wait away
I'll always wait
Everything I have
Is taken away for a promise of tomorrow

Glass Candle
05:21
|
|

|
I deny you your complexity
The same one that defines me
Burn the glass candle at both ends
burnt out and stretched thin
Fly away from my reach
Sleep and never wake
What keeps pushing me forward
Keeps holding me back
Shifting equilibrium
Walking contradiction
I should have felt
I should have known
I could have leapt
I could have flown

Stagnate
07:10
|
|
||
|
From far below I will watch
In the shadows I will lay
Killing time with stones and toxin
Breaking limbs and scraping skin
Nothing will ever be enough

Wither
06:15
|
|
||
|
Dried out rivers fill an empty expression
Frail hands hold loose but don't let go
I have yet to see it all, but here I wilt away,
Reverberating
Along the walls
Merely a temporary impulse
I'll go too
But not like you
The voice has long left
All that remains are echoes
I'll go too
But not like you

Rib Cage Prison
12:00
|
|
||
|
Choking on infinity
I have left the empty seas
For a place where nothing's real
All memory's forgotten
Everything will be replaced
Pass down nothing
Split the mortal coil
Rib cage prison
Floating snake corpse
Return to ash
Rib cage prison
Floating snake corpse
Return to nothing
Nothing lost
But everything taken
More will come
But not for me

Safe Travels, See You Never

Terminus is our favorite rock band and our dearest friends. It would be criminal to not give them a listen.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 30 fans who also own “Empty Seas”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!
