Mind Over Matter
from Ethereality by Akord
lyrics
Strive to
See past the skies with untried eyes,
You take in the grace we undermine.
Open up to this world that's in front of you.
So don't just follow suit,
Cause it's your undoing now.
Take what you have,
That makes your being.
(So put your mind over it)
Now that you've dragged me in (Dragged me in!),
You forgot to tell me how to swim.
I'll pull you down,
Tell you how to drown your,
Isolated, introverted, closed mind
Locked so you won't know,
That I'll turn you around,
Run this blessed vessel aground.
Who am I,
To decide,
A feeling that can't be so feared so ill defined?
A better way, so to say,
Tell them to keep it from forming in this mind.
So hide!
So hide!
It's so weak of you to compare,
Spinning a lie, pretending you're up there.
People alike propelling us nowhere,
Delving through, an ending truth
About the world that's in front of you.
Now that you've seen past the skies
You'll see what's in front of you
Right in front of you
Why couldn't we just open our eyes?
(Now you put your mind over it)
Now that you've dragged me in (Dragged me in!),
You forgot to tell me how to swim.
I'll pull you down,
Tell you how to drown your,
Isolated, introverted, closed and locked
So you won't know,
That i'll turn you around.
See past the skies with untried eyes,
You take in the grace we undermine.
Open up to this world that's in front of you.
So don't just follow suit,
Cause it's your undoing now.
Take what you have,
That makes your being.
(So put your mind over it)
Now that you've dragged me in (Dragged me in!),
You forgot to tell me how to swim.
I'll pull you down,
Tell you how to drown your,
Isolated, introverted, closed mind
Locked so you won't know,
That I'll turn you around,
Run this blessed vessel aground.
Who am I,
To decide,
A feeling that can't be so feared so ill defined?
A better way, so to say,
Tell them to keep it from forming in this mind.
So hide!
So hide!
It's so weak of you to compare,
Spinning a lie, pretending you're up there.
People alike propelling us nowhere,
Delving through, an ending truth
About the world that's in front of you.
Now that you've seen past the skies
You'll see what's in front of you
Right in front of you
Why couldn't we just open our eyes?
(Now you put your mind over it)
Now that you've dragged me in (Dragged me in!),
You forgot to tell me how to swim.
I'll pull you down,
Tell you how to drown your,
Isolated, introverted, closed and locked
So you won't know,
That i'll turn you around.

about
Akord Glasgow, UK
Imagine Tool and Karnivool locked together in the sweet embrace of a musical orgy; a passion filled session with some light
sweet jazz to set the mood. Incubus loiter in the room to tag in every so often and Biffy Clyro are there to serve the refreshments.
That's Akord.

What a creative and unique EP from David! I love the intricacy and level of detail in the soundscape so much. There's always something for my ear to catch each time I visit this release. This is one of his more underrated releases, in my opinion. Great job, David! :D

I like the fact that this guy is not in “omg I love djent so much I’ll only let *that* express in my songs” mode. With his friends he crafts thoughtful and diverse songs which can be either playful or touching.

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-)

The two epic tracks on the latest from BC group Lakeman are mind-melters, opening slow and pensive before erupting into near-doom metal.

Never heard of this band until this came on Liquid Metal...now I'm hooked and hope they come back to the states soon.
