one day this full circle will escape past
you can stop, trust is so cold
we can find a way, you and i
one day this full circle will escape the past
you will find trust is so cold
but if we can dream on better times
and heed the siren’s call, frozen in time
someday, this full circle… we’ll escape the past
and you will find trust is so cold
but if we could dream of better times
...then we’ll try
she whispers songs to the sinners
a cherished moment or just the world collapsing
clouds lined in silver when the melody arrives tonight
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.
