(“‘To where you want to go.’ That sounds alright if it were not for this one, which says ‘to where you ought to go.’”
“I think we should take the road where we ought to be going.”
“Yes, but that doesn’t seem to be the same way as we want to go.”)
Open eyelids frozen, petrified
No baseline instinct to mollify
Amber, fading light; show yourself
No words to say I need your help
Cupric color with a verdant sheen
Tidal feelings from boiling seas
I’m reaching sunlight, the deep remains
Like it lives inside my veins
If I can’t speak of all I’ve seen then I’m unwound
And the waves all crash before they’ve even swelled
You’re acting fake, you’re here too late, that’s how I tell
I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found
Ever-present these meanings shifting
Inside my head even when I’m sleeping
Ever-present and everchanging
Can you hear me? Understand me?
If you won’t understand the words I speak out loud
Then this consciousness will only fizzle out
Unnerving taste, emotive state only indulgent now
I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found
(I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found)
(I can’t communicate
In this new tongue you’ve found)
Open eyelids frozen, petrified
No baseline instinct to mollify
Amber, fading light; show yourself
No words to say I need your help
Cupric color with a verdant sheen
Tidal feelings from boiling seas
I’m reaching sunlight, the deep remains
Like it lives inside my veins
Open eyelids frozen, petrified
No baseline instinct to mollify
Amber, fading light; show yourself
No words to say
I need your help

Ataraxia Seattle, Washington

Ataraxia recommends:
Sin's my favorite lyricist. This is a mature exploration of concepts, sounds, and hip hop grooves that will take you anywhere you want to go.
go to album
Otherworldly production with graceful vocal hooks and deep, contemplative lyrics. Do you have anxiety?
go to album
Four-piece instrumental prog and heavy groove from the cold Pacific Northwest. Feel your teeth shiver through "Vostok," ascend with "Startapper," and get kicked back into the ground with "Aubade."

Organ, piano, strings and synths slowly brew ethereal, ambient, electronic LP. Mad bonus cuts & tasty giant poster.
go to album
Fantastically punishing glitch, noise, and industrial from this New York musician that puts drum & bass through a blender.
go to album
Rippling electronic pop music with soft, drifting melodies and occasional nods to hip-hop makes for a soothing listen.
