lyrics

Picture yourself in a boat in a river
Build some castles just moving a finger

Start creating as a magnificent
At the fountain

I will not point out who created this bubble
Keep blowing, we're feeling bigger
Nobody can't whiter this flower
Scarcity of repentance
My eyes sting every time I stare the wire spark

Act as a minimalist
But only for thinking big
Style many items
Decode to the smallest detail

In the holes of your grey matter
In the holes
Of your grey matter

I will not point out who created this bubble
Keep blowing, we're feeling bigger
Nobody can't whiter this flower
Scarcity of repentance
My eyes sting every time I stare...

Those who created the lamp and the genie
Did not take into account that was completely stupid
Pissing off the gods in their own universe
Of course they will blow up the lamp and your wishes

Here I am, at the highest mountain
So close to the sun but I can't say nothing
My body is already burned but still hearing the voices
And understand nothing

Je l´ai déjà fait et ne comprends rien
Je l´ai déjà fait et ne comprends rien

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
