Petra's Cor 05:38
Reaching out across some barren wasteland The arid field of your mind Could end the drought? Reveal the treasure I see the flood growing wide Brought me again to the gates of Al-Khazneh Sinking in, drinking the colour of the crags… In a spell I sat and rose through quicksand I couldn’t run from your ire My words were weakened, brittle as brimstone From a stream running dry But I emerge at those vivid vibrant gates Drinking the cool, revitalizing petrichor Break free again, crested and crashed upon the shore I breathe again… I breathe again… I breathe again… I’m free again…

I’ve been swept into a pale illusion again Dealing with you, Pasithee, yeah I should have known better You crept up and hit me like a strong dose If I were immortal you could induce me forever I’ll see what I want to Love’s blind Select a fabrication And you and I’ll Make strange hallucinations Come Alive Baby if this isn’t real then I don’t want to know I’ve been swept into a pale illusion again Dealing with you, Pasithee, yeah I should have known better You crept up and hit me like a strong dose If I were immortal you could induce me forever I’ll see what I want to Love’s blind Select a fabrication And you and I’ll Make strange hallucinations Come Alive Baby if this isn’t real then I don’t want to know Yeah, if I’m living a lie, then damn, I hate the truth Maybe it’s all in my head, this feeling’s just for show Baby if this isn’t real then I don’t want to know…

Ghost Step 05:31
Color fades out of every shade of gray I feel you in the walls and empty rooms, Hear you calling Passion played us both with our tapes decayed Our love was analog In a digital age This moment’s holding the answer from me Slow degrade I find you on a cold blank page Our echoes filled the halls Now only silence seems to reign Visions play in time with all of our mistakes But if we tried again, we’d do it all, all the same This moment’s holding each of us frozen While we wait for This moment’s holding each of us frozen While we wait for This moment holding each of us frozen

And suddenly the world was made dark again. And all the silhouettes and shadows cast from the ships in the sky lorded over the land. Moon beings from the Netherverse cast their cool gray light through the heart of humankind and bestowed unto them singularity. Beginning. They were but infants, still crawling on all fours. Breastfeeders, thumbsuckers, first steppers Convinced that they were grown and whole, rulers of the universe But the children of the moon heed no illusions. They demand only accountability and offer only enlightenment. So they pruned the branches of the lost race. They watered until what was lifeless and frail became sentient and sure. The great watchers in the sky swung low their scythe over all and harvested their long-sought fruit: Universal awareness And so self-realization resubmerged the entirety of reality back down into the timeless, spaceless underbelly of the void. The flames of consciousness burned low down to smoldering embers, soon to be swallowed by the long night, where there is no thought, No strangers, No voice, No knowledge, No seeing, No breathing. Just being. Just being. Just being...

about

Get ready to get lost, submerge into a sonic sea and float away into the void. Strange Hallucinations is SWYM's latest visionary voyage into the realms of consciousness; where self-reflection stems from loss; where timid love blooms; where everything is just being.
