they’ll never stand some banishment alone
i know the fate these savages deserve
bound by the fear of losing control
far better that dark passengers are witness to blood
your death in my sight, my will to play god
closer still - i won’t abandon this code
one more chance, you’ll slip
i see this every day
i’m not afraid to view the scenery in the depths of vicious minds
endless acts of indiscretion
closer to breaking through the code
countless acts of pure aggression
closer to breaking through the code after all
i’m not afraid to view the scenery in the depths of vicious minds
this image was the last you’ll know don’t fight it
oh father, with this mask i face the demons
bleed for them now so i can rest
from this lie truth will surface
maintain appearances one last time
Djent is a tired genre and why this is exactly, I'm unsure of. It does, however, still have its moments -- Astraeus, for example. Perhaps it's an obsession with creating interesting riffs and compelling song structures, whereas other djent bands focus on, 'how heavy can we get'. Mirrors boasts a sort of stream of consciences element, exploring a theme and moving on seamlessly with many songs blending into the next.
I also greatly appreciate the inclusion of an instrumental version.
Be Djentle.
