about

Both in musical and lyrical content, "Lights Out" is an all out battle. With whipping cymbal chokes and pitch-shifted chromatic runs, we want to invoke the feeling of chilling gusts of wind whirling around a looming cave as you look for a way out. We're here to "fight tooth and nail" to overcome the struggle between perception and projection. We're fighting against this current narrative we never asked for.

lyrics

Look past my eyes into a mirror and you believe what’s perceived
Behind these eyes broken mirrors shattered shards and reflected perceptions

The rattling inside my skull
The battle the fight tooth and nail
Are the shadows real? Are the lights out
Are the shadows real? Are the lights out
The rattling inside my skull
Artificial light under your microscope
A test subject to dissect and control
Dissect and control

Look past my eyes into a mirror and you believe what’s perceived
Behind these eyes broken mirrors shattered shards and reflected perceptions

The rattling inside my skull
The battle the fight tooth and nail
Are the shadows real? Are the lights out
Are the shadows real? Are the lights out
A test subject to dissect and control
Dissect and control

What is a candle
Compared to the sun

What is a candle
Compared to the sun
What is a candle
Compared to the sun

Are the shadows real, are the lights out
Are the shadows real, are the lights out
Are the shadows real
