about

The tenth track off of DYSSIDIA's full-length debut album 'Costly Signals'

lyrics

Tender to the touch.
I knew you would say as much.
It’s a simple kind of rush.
Now hush.

There must be Influence over the outcome,
Vicious visuals swirling through your head.
And For the longest time you’ve needed consequence,
To keep you from an obvious conclusion.

Every bit of you feels your beating heart,
Streams of dark royal red flood through you,
Times as such are so far gone.
Countless.
You must twist and taught,
Until it is disconnected.
Pointless.
And tender to the touch.

There must be influence over the outcome,
Vicious visuals swirling through your head.
And for the longest time you’ve needed something more,
Invading thoughts of trepidation.

Questionable actions made years ago, reactions that took me off guard.
Shifting between logical endings, changing seconds into a bloated millennia.
With each movement my words become more true,
Let that set in and let your contemptuousness splay fully.

Life can fall in and out of place, another name without a face.
Think it through, what secrets are you holding?
Speak truth.

It is such a mysterious place, the land of tears.
You must not forget that you will be responsible for what you have tamed.
Persistence you have chosen rightly for once,
for the eyes cannot see what the body truly feels.
What a disturbing strange, strange thing to be drawn so deeply.

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
