Only waste

Mask on my face
Excavating the soil crust
Searching for ancient life
Or any human imprint
Digging the lowlands
Into the depths of History
Nothing but junk
Inside the dregs of the earth
Blinded by the truth
Slowly I understand
The denial of an entire generation
Drowning into selfishness
And scarcity mindset
Where only greed and lust matter as always
Citizens of their egos
It makes no sense
When bread is no longer edible
Makes no sense at all
Only waste
Plastic on the shoreline
There is only waste
Endless garbage layers
There is only waste
Swimming in a foul steam
Of burning leftovers
Ground soiled by a foolish society
I finally realize
That meaningless sea
Was their home long ago
Long time ago
Great Acceleration
The levels were threatening
Industrial revolution
Supposed to be an improvement
Ruined biodiversity
And every single life
Only waste
Plastic on the shoreline
There is only waste
Endless garbage layers
There is only waste
Plastic on the shoreline
Endless garbage layers
There is only waste
Anthropogenic activity
Global warming and overconsumption
Have led to this nonsense
Nothing changed although they knew
Increasing the shame
A mass slaughter
Reminiscent of a collective suicide
The Anthropocene began
Society collapsed silently
In a muted scream

Eugenic practices barely hidden
Programmed mind control
Are we swimming
In the waves of a dystopian ocean ?
You don't want to face your fate
So all that you create
Is a lie to yourself
An illusion of control
It always means worse for some
Take his name to be no one
Your past life as a disbeliever
Is forever gone
Floating without empathy
Your appetite for soylent
Will feed your despair
You don't want to face your fate
So all that you create
Is a lie to yourself
An illusion of control
War is peace
Overwhelmed by the father
Freedom is slavery
Newspeak for better comprehension
Ignorance is strength
Thoughtcrime and doublethinking
Hanged on a city wall
Hanged on a city wall
You don't want to face your fate
So all that you create
Is a lie to yourself
An illusion of control
Is this really the life you want to live ?
The path you wish to follow ?
The maze in which you’re lost
Will be your grave
War is peace
Keep your head down
Freedom is slavery
Everything’s fine
Ignorance is strength
Everything’s fine
Everything’s fine
Everything’s fine

All those breathtaking pictures
Huge pillar holding the clouds
Burnt grass extends to the ocean
Devastated seas running on the lands
All those deafening sounds
Then comes the silence
Thunder of bleeding ashes
Spritz in multiple sparkles
Touring my world
Turning point of my soul
Touring my words
Turning point of my heart
The canvas comes to life
Joined by countless species, you rushed into death
Pigs cairns and heaps of chickens surround you
Blood rivers sneeking around your feet
Brown mold mistreats your senses
Furrow cutting through the forest
Maze of paths destroying ecosystems
Green touch among the dull
In perpetual decline
Giant nets encompass our world
And the fleet of plastic waste, spreads into ourselves
Giant earth can't contain our mistakes
All of you, see his flesh
These are the ones you made
You can run away, those images belong to you
You can run away from it
We are the monsters of our time
At the end, we are the monsters
Open the earth
She can swallow the rest

The next cycle
05:56

The skies we built
Were made like the crowns we forged
From oceans of tears
We raised waves of sorrow
From despair and fear
We signed our own death warrant
Look up to the sky
To see if a glimmer of hope remains
But the end is nigh
If only the birds could fly
I wish I believed
Something in my brain still tries
We’ve drawn the next cycle
Already dead in the nest
Or just searching for our way
Through our decline
Watching our feathers falling
In the scarlet red climes
Just a last breather
Look up to the sky to see
If the scenery remains
But the end is nigh
If only the birds could fly
I wish I believed
Something in my brain still tries
We’ve drawn the next cycle
If only the birds could fly
I wish I believed
Something in my brain still tries
We’ve drawn the next cycle
I think I’ll be relieve
I wish I believed
Look at those birds’ coffins

Forever lost
08:02
|
|||
|
Like a beast above the horizon
Alone in the falling night
I wander in the dusk
And think of all we’ve done
Mind astray in a past life
Sight of what is gone
Forever lost
With the fall came the storm
Collapse the light into void
Collide with empathy
Forever gone
Forever lost

A perpetual denial
06:49

I’m mourning this world
Can’t explain why
Can’t understand how
Don’t even feel sorry
Just can’t get through anymore
Sadness is all I feel
In a self-important culture
The limits to growth are clear
Drowning in denial
Empathy is not enough anymore
To help the last species
Optimistic nihilism as an apology
Did you reach the center of your maze ?
While you were setting the world ablaze
Did you ever feel sorry for this ?
Dead zones everywhere
Forbidden borders have been crossed
Sea level rising
We’ve reached the point of no return
Rainforest on fire
Nothing left
Everything’s done
Dead and gone
Alone I surrender
And hold my breath
Finally reach the end
Did we reach the center of our maze ?
How could we end up here ?
Did we make the same mistakes again ?
Over and over and over again
With greed
Conceit
Narcissistic faith
We were world eaters
And now we are
We are vanishing

You can already tell by the heavy harmonic sound of Avalanches that they're destined to be one of the biggest instrumental prog-rock band along side with Russian Circles in terms of uniqueness and valse-grooving riffs which creates that spine-chilling vibe of sheer excitement. I bet whatever crazy sounds are spinning in their heads, it's gonna be a great success as we go further into their musical journey.🙌🏻🎶🎸

To the grooving yet fiery breakdown of From Particles energetic djenty riffs, we have in our hands an EP truly moving and enticing, with fierce and protesting lyrics that display an angry discomfort in today's social dismay. I must say this band reminds me of As They Burn, more progressive to the core but more rhythmic in terms of groove along with soul crushing gutural to push it further. 🤘🏼🔥🖤
