Contextual Noise

by Effuse

supported by

nautilus thumbnail
nautilus Moody, synth-heavy, rhythmic, and dense. A great progressive metal album that brings to mind Language-era The Contortionist. The vocals are hypnotic, the guitars ebb and flow from textural, to chunky riffs, to cutting leads and the drumming is tight and nuanced. Great album!

Overgrowth 05:07
Taking it all away, every pain. Insisting: that now it goes and now it covers up. We have been long afraid something is here. Taking on this name that isn't mine We're praying we never have to need this place. It's a garden of you and me; rip and tear the overgrowth. Wasting the days away... cutting it back Insisting that now it goes and now it shrivels up. We never really had time to question it; seems so far gone. We're praying we never have to need this place. It's a garden of you and me rip and tear the overgrowth. Rip and tear the overgrowth. Rip up and tear the overgrowth.

Kill Castle 06:41
Figure out who you are. Calm me down; calm me down now. Run away, never stay. Why keep trying when nothing ever seems to change? What's your name? You sound the same As the Rest. You feel the same. Endless state... turning off the pulse. From precipice, there comes this voice again. That's not your name. This pulsing form... We are. We're terrified. It comes from confusion. These blanked out walls reveal the illusion. Too afraid to fight flooding from inside. Too afraid to fight creaking in the night. <Why rip and tear this overgrowth?> <When roots beyond keep growing?> <We made this choice: this here and now.> <With these beige walls encroaching.> We made this all about you. And not about me. We made this all about you. And not about me. We made this all about you. I apologize, to you: Kill Castle We are terrified. It comes from confusion. These blanked out walls reveal the illusion. Searching, finding. A reason for blaming. I apologize to you.

Debate what was said and meant. Silence is this coward's instinct. And now with this tired mind: the Silent Push takes over. Grew up much like a sun, shines; casting shadows on those loved. They called me something kind but... that name just wasn't mine, no. After all this time... these words dissolve the mind. You didn't know, it's fine. After all this time... this violent language bites. You didn't know, it's fine. I'm nobody and who are you? Are you nobody too? Violent Language Echoing Open up! Just open up! After all this time... these words dissolve the mind. You didn't know, it's fine. After all this time...(after all this time) this violent language bites (language bites) You didn't know, it's fine.

Overhaul 04:22
Teeter on the edge. Remember what was said: looking up to know, down to feel. Undiscovered trust. Creeping from The Rest. Who are you to tell who we are? Anxious from the steps taken to address. All the things before we ignored. Lesser known. Mechanical conversation: it takes its toll. Stood up, confirmed we were well acquainted, that wasn't all. You're the same as us. Cut up from the grove; with this sour taste. Stuck in place. Cue the overhaul, replacing from the roots. Lagging time moves on. We stay still. Yes or no? Mechanical conversation, it takes its toll. Confirmed we were well acquainted, that wasn't all. Replacing from the roots! The lagging time moves on! So... after all I guess we... open up. So... after all I guess we... opened.

And The Rest 05:43
Truth be told, this is getting old. After all, it's good to know. Where we've been... where we'll go. Driving round and round, the overlapping sounds. Let them take their place, let some be erased. Truth be told, this is getting old. Make it go away, take it, the Contextual Noise. After all... it's good to know. Where we've been, where we'll go. Integrate what's found... our existential sound. Let me take my place. Let things be erased. Is this just a dream? Is this anything? (Echoing out a noise) Finding... Searching... Fearing... Knowing... It's growing again! Is...is this anything? is there anywhere... not overgrown? Truth be told, this is getting old. Make it go away, take it, the Contextual Noise. Truth be told, as we're getting old.. It is here to stay. Keep it, the Contextual Noise.
