lyrics

Shed the mask;
The veil you wear like a second skin
And reveal a persona obscured within

A mind in flux
Questioning boundaries of Its own design,
Seeking to find Alignment with Self
Casting aside the specter of doubt
Aspects, like shards

Refracting the light
Now coalesce and
Give me new sight

I am Thou; Thou art I
Painted in virtue and valor, in sin and strife
A solemn purpose that I define
Standing in defiance against the tides of time

Alight with undying flame
Its tendrils reaching out
To passionately claim
Its prize, shrouded in the dark

Illuminated now
By my fervent gaze

A spirit all-seeing, master of my being

A mind in flux
Questioning boundaries of its own design,
Seeking to find alignment with Self
Casting aside the specter of doubt
Aspects, like shards
Refracting the light
Now coalesce and
Give me new sight

On ne pourra certainement pas reprocher à Subnuba de vouloir aller trop vite : si le groupe annonçait la sortie prochaine d'un album avec le single Ascending Light, Distant Pixel ne sortira que trois ans plus tard. Et à l'écoute de cette pépite, je dirai qu'on ne pourra pas reprocher grand-chose à Subnuba tout court. Le trio a travaillé d'arrache-pied et ça s'entend : le death metal technique est exceptionnel, aussi bourrin que fantastique avec ses arpèges électroniques de science-fiction ! Jordan Vauvert
