Solid State

by Soul Extract

supported by

dharmalogos Excellent, genre-defying album. It obliterates the line between rock and electronica but never loses sight of both heaviness and pop hooks. I can't believe this is a one-man project. The songwriting and production are just too well done. This is no work of an amateur dicking around in his bedroom. This guy is a total professional.

©ough©ool Synth metal... great vocals, low & heavy distortion Favorite track: Carrier Signal.

questiosis Josh has written yet another amazing album. To me him and Comaduster are the 2 best bands if you’re looking for something to listen to for inspiration! Keep up the outstanding work!

Dropped in a world, an endless maze Trying to parse and modulate Displaced It's all moving closer, but farther away Impossible to navigate Faded colors in a haze Saturate The darkness within is starting to awake It's paralyzing you I'm losing control Can't take the pressure anymore Gravity taking hold Deep inside these cryogenic eyes Emerging from the light into chaotic silence This consciousness descending to the surface A familiar conscious state That repeats and replicates Overwriting shadowing echoes Of what remains Adjust and Calibrate When the memories start to fade Into a carrier signal Origin unknown It's paralyzing you I'm losing control Can't take the pressure anymore Gravity taking hold Deep inside these cryogenic eyes Emerging from the light into chaotic silence This consciousness descending to the surface I'm not breaking From all that's been taken With a mind now vacant And the light is fading Can I separate Reality from what I taste From the conflict in my veins Why do I hesitate I'm not breaking From all that's been taken With a mind now vacant And the light is fading Can I separate Reality from what I taste From the conflict in my veins Why do I hesitate Descending to the surface

Inside you're excavating the source code that's creating A melody of this disease that digs into your soul Let go of the vows you're making The promises you're breaking Closer to the sickness that you are And it's been tearing you, tearing you down A dark future staring you, staring you down And it's been tearing you, tearing you down A dark future staring you, staring you down Let go of the vows you're making The promises you're breaking Closer to the sickness that you are And you will survive no consequence A small price to pay for your vice And you will survive no consequences you deny And it's been tearing you, tearing you down A dark future staring you, staring you down And it's been tearing you, tearing you down A dark future staring you, staring you down Let go of the vows you're making The promises you're breaking Closer to the sickness that you are And you will survive no consequence A small price to pay for your vice And you will survive no consequences you deny And you will survive no consequence A small price to pay for your vice And you will survive no consequences you deny
3.	Samsara 05:11	lyrics	buy track
On the iris of this blindness Lies a secret underneath The turning gears of this existence Grinding deep Grinding deep I feel you waiting outside Waiting lifetimes patiently When the light breaks down all that's left I will see I will see The ending has arrived As the world divides Eating me alive We cannot survive This again As our stars collide Bending space and time Leaving the world behind Once again When we reunite Let's stay here this time As our hearts entwine Reaching out to find That space cannot divide Us again To feel your touch intoxicating Emanating underneath The beauty of this love cascading Over me Over me Traveling across expansion Playing out just like a dream A burning violet iridescence Is released Is released Into an endless paradigm As the world divides Eating me alive We cannot survive This again As our stars collide Bending space and time Leaving the world behind Once again When we reunite Let's stay here this time As our hearts entwine Reaching out to find That space cannot divide Us again As our hearts entwine Reaching out to find That space cannot divide Us again I'm falling into you Our souls colliding I'm falling into you You're falling into me Our souls colliding Our stars igniting Falling deeper into us I'm falling into you You're falling into me Our stars colliding Our souls igniting Falling deeper into us
4.	Interstellar Skies 04:47	lyrics	buy track
A fading light, a life now over Reborn from ashes of a supernova Fusion igniting without hesitation How long until we meet in devastation Oceans of gravity rise and fall Into the night we pray Tidal locked and afraid Into the silent unknown Deeper into the remote Into the silent unknown The light will guide our way home Bathing in the light of interstellar skies Endless galaxies reflecting in our eyes Bathing in the light of interstellar skies The fury of dark energy lies in our hearts No black hole gravity can keep us apart Interstellar skies await The atmosphere is fading Interstellar skies await Gravity we escape as the atmosphere is fading out Endless galaxies reflecting in our eyes Bathing in the light of interstellar skies
5.	Lacuna 04:57	lyrics	buy track
You've given up what cannot be replaced The sparking circuits, lacuna illuminated This is where you go down The hurt surrounding now Resistance breaking and crumbling inside Unmasked and exposed into the light Always running away to hide Hide from the truth that you have now become the enemy Your whispers block out the sunshine You wonder if they can take you this time And now they've come to take away What you surrendered Was it worth the price you paid A heart of ember Forever lost inside your paradise is going under Now forced to look away Away from what you've become Now that it's over All that you can taste The devastation of lies you thought would fade out In the wake of your fallout What do you think about Is your soul burning when you look inside Unmasked and exposed into the light Always running away to hide Hide from the truth that you have now become the enemy Your whispers block out the sunshine You wonder if they can take you alive And now they've come to take away What you surrendered Was it worth the price you paid A heart of ember Forever lost inside your paradise is going under Now forced to look away Away from what you've be... What you've become What you've become You've become You've become What have you become You've become What have you become Just look what you've become And now they've come to take away What you surrendered Was it worth the price you paid A heart of ember Forever lost inside your paradise is going under Now forced to look away Away from what you've become

I watched you sinking Into the cold that never ends Mechanical feelings are shutdown What did you hope to find Adrift and lost in time Is this the end Ready to begin It's time to escape the fate of destruction Excavating within until salvation No longer pretend the future's a lie From a past you cannot hide Erasing the memories with entropy A fight to the death dissolve the enemy Atoms detach and fall away Holding on to the pieces you've become Just let go In the event horizon of your soul So hollow Will you find another way to hide From the monster locked deep inside That always comes for you Brace for the centigrade Supernova activate Mercury rising Higher and climbing Burn and incinerate Dark matter you contain Forging a new life Erasing what you used to be Slowly ascending Out of endless viscosity Traces of malady dripping down But still you hold on tight With everything inside Is this the end Ready to begin Holding on to the pieces you've become Just let go In the event horizon of your soul So hollow Are you real Or are you synthesized Programmed for nothing but to expire Brace for the centigrade Supernova activate Mercury rising Higher and climbing Burn and incinerate Dark matter you contain Forging a new life Erasing what you used to be The fire fusing the broken seams burns inside Burns inside Crushing under the gravity of this star light This star light Breaking down your reality just in time Just in time Crushing under the gravity of this star light Brace for the centigrade Supernova activate Mercury rising Higher and climbing Burn and incinerate Dark matter you contain Forging a new life Erasing what you used to be

Deeper into silence Scattered distant violent Diamonds surrounding My heart can't take this anymore With everything fading Darker than it's been before With dawn never breaking Into the lifeless void The madness that I destroy Everything that is me Deeper into silence Farther from distant violence An old world I once knew I wake up to desolation Descending into isolation Unfamiliar sky below Falling faster, space receding Oxygen is now depleting Suffocating has become the only way to breath My heart can't take this anymore With everything fading Darker than it's been before With dawn never breaking Into the lifeless void The madness that I destroy Everything that is me The poison I create Is running through my veins Now separating from the light Your lies Falling into the sky Overwrite The data deep inside Your lies Falling into the sky Cauterize The data deep inside Anymore Don't think I can make it Falling down Don't know if i can take it My lungs can't take this anymore The poison I'm breathing Stronger than it was before The atmosphere bleeding Into the lifeless void The madness that I destroy Everything that is me The poison I create Is running through my veins Now separating from the light

Descend into an ancient memory that never seems to change Underneath a buried substrate of sickness and decay (and decay) Breaking down You're dissolving Inside out, factory defaulting DNA code overwriting Deeper as you suffocate, suffocate They're dragging you under The shadows closing in Outgunned and outnumbered You disintegrate and carbonize Hardened and fossilized Buried deep within your mind Now your soul is neutralized, neutralized A symmetric reflection that never goes away A perfect replication of everything that you hate (everything you hate) Every Trace is gone Replaced, erased by your submission to the ones you follow Further down into this hollow state Deeper as you suffocate, suffocate They're dragging you under The shadows closing in Outgunned and outnumbered You disintegrate and carbonize Hardened and fossilized Buried deep within your mind Now your soul is neutralized Trapped in the undertow Drowning inside your soul, inside your soul There's nowhere else to go But at least you're not alone Trapped in the undertow Drowning inside your soul, inside your soul There's nowhere else to go But at least you're not alone They're dragging you under The shadows closing in Outgunned and outnumbered You disintegrate and carbonize Hardened and fossilized Buried deep within your mind Now your soul is neutralized Hardened and fossilized Buried deep within your mind Now your soul is neutralized, neutralized They're dragging you under Outgunned and outnumbered They're dragging you under Outgunned and outnumbered

The pulses collide, activating you The circuits ignite, encapsulating you The pulses collide, activating you The circuits ignite, encapsulating you Neurons awakening out of electric dreams Synthetic reality systems are online Searching for your love I'm programmed to find Scanning deep and low for traces of life Should I be afraid of what I am made These circuits degrading on the inside Something is changing Future and past are fading in this moment Sensing your heartbeat pulsing inside of me Should I give in to this new feeling If only we could try To live instead of dying slowly Buried in fields of silicon Shut down and disengage Breaking this solid state From under endless fields of silicon It never goes away, the synthetic pain Burning through the waste searching for you Did you forget your name or from where you came Guided by the light that burns inside of you I needed your love like you needed mine Lost and alone, searching for blue skies Lost and alone, searching for blue skies Lost and alone, searching for blue skies Your heart is overtaking, rewriting subroutines Am I transforming into your technology If only we could try If only we could try To live instead of dying slowly Buried in fields of silicon Shut down and disengage Breaking this solid state From under endless fields of silicon Shut down and disengage Breaking this solid state From under endless fields of silicon

WOW! I usually buy more upbeat, pop sounding Synthwave albums but this is something else, I've been converted to the dark side. 'Half-Life' gave me goose bumps when I first heard it and I almost had tears in my eyes, so unbelievably good, the production on this album is phenomenal. Thank you Essenger for introducing me to the more darker side of Synthwave! :) Adam Clarke
