lyrics

I am still the boy that I used to be
I don’t lend the things that I want
The mirror tells me that I'm right
It doesn’t matter how the years pass by
Follow the naivety way wondering why…..

Growing up tastes like I have betrayed my dreams again
The stars are saying: set yourself free and walk with me

I wont pretend to be a different entity
A lifetime in the shadows hiding like a ghost

I wont pretend I’m strong
I wont hide myself when I cry
Deep inside I have a giant soul
And you will choose the true side

Growing up tastes like I have betrayed my dreams again
The stars are saying: set yourself free and walk with me

Surrounded by burning ambition
I see myself amplified
My heart pumps with no attrition
Ignite my desire

Growing up tastes like I am betraying my dreams again
The stars are saying: set yourself free and walk with me

I miss that paradise
Immune to earthquakes and floods
Where doors were open
And you were someone I used to trust

When I could look into your eyes

Where is my generation?
That one who believed in ideals of hope
The world that we used to know
Is fading away
As I'm taking off my mask
And becoming the one I'm supposed to be

Bastard!! You're poisoning my dreams
Bastard!! Taking my self-steam

I am the number 2
Now you see myself through my eyes, through my soul
I'm not the lucky one

But you will choose the true side, where to fight
Your dreams will show you the way
Now you say, you want to stay?
Or do you want to run away?
Away……

Hidden Dimensions

This album really roots itself in modern prog metal, especially in the way the guitar work is treated. It's not fully a djent album but has some very djenty songs throughout, mixed with post-rock elements. It also happens to have some of the most gorgeous ambient moments I've ever heard in my life, evidenced by beautiful tracks like "Solstice". Another stellar knockout by Widek! Challenging Apathy

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 Erkadur
