About Existence

by Jx Arket

supported by
/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "About Existence" is a flow of anger, love, rejection and acceptance towards the futility of existence. This EP lacerates our certainties, describing man as an extra in an unstable yet perfect balance, constantly moved by the infinite pulsation of the universe. Seven emotional tracks through which the uselessness of our life emerges violently. Our existence is like the hectic dance of a candle flame which is destined to eventually go out. Death is about existence.

A storm of impulses connects me to another place And you conceive this movement Hundreds crowds move in search of something Some seek the way out from here Others are lost in perennial uselessness As oscillations, exhausted we tighten on a single point lost in endless change We vibrate of emotions We die incomplete The end covers us with abstractness Doubt takes us by the hand How unfair is the unknown? Understanding nothingness is our greatest effort Only time will make us immortal Life is a journey and the sense is to make sense of it Death is about existence

Faded Colors 03:22
Faded color in a rainy autumn Wasted and lone Like every day, like every static hour Standing alone in this room I can't describe the silence, the reverb of the words I've never said I just can see the brightness dying in the womb of what is left Look through this open window, I see the Morning star The rain still fall above the streets dressed by the dark The streets dressed by the dark Forgive me now I said forgive me now! I've wrote it "Forgive me" I've wrote it on this white wall Faded color in a rainy autumn Wasted and lone And I've felt the anger I've felt the war inside me growing every day Like you is gone Can you hear this softly song? Could you live in a memory? Lay down and fight against my soul Compassion me And you gone I don't say enough in my last words every line of your face crossed by the time, crossed by a single path And I miss them, totally miss them

Mountains 03:27
We’ll rise towards the slow flow of the sky But when will we understand? When will we understand that crumbling is the cause of our awakening? You don't need eyes to see I can observe from the inside The future is less We are tired of the insipid taste of the uncertain I can observe from the inside I wonder when will we rise to the slow flow of the sky? We will never see anything complete But we’ll stand up slowly on.. We will stand up slowly in the hope One unison is enough They will look down on the majesty of a new world They’ll thank us Slow flow of the sky But when will we understand? When will we understand that crumbling is the cause of our awakening? You don't need eyes to see I can observe from the inside The future is less We are tired of the insipid taste of the uncertain We will rise towards the slow flow but when we will understand? And they will look from afar at the black past of tomorrow And they will thank us

A rain of cold feelings slowly bent me down Nothing matters now Withstand is synonym to shear off and I'm not strong anymore Fragility, sister of weakness Both are mine, both are my skin Now my tears are watering all the ground, all the surroundings Under my branches I've so much to hide When you'll see that the colors in me are not so bright will you stand by my side? Should I fix every rupture, every wrong step done? My whole life became so mundane Is this not enough? I can't go on And every grain of sand is like a boulder on my chest I can inspire but I can't expire the pain in my breath I can't go on Under my branches I've so much to hide So when you'll see that the colors in me are not so bright will you stand by my side? Should I fix every rupture, every wrong step done? My whole life became so mundane Is this not enough? I can't go on

Gasping on surface I've lost all my breath The void, the pain Everything has left this empty shell It is so hard to stay afloat The air I cling to is less dense All these things are gone I dream with hopefulness I sleep in broken pieces Pieces that I've forgot They call me back They call me to be there with them What is my purpose for everyone else? My life, my way Everything has left this empty shell And it’s so hard to stay afloat The air I cling to is less dense I've become a wonderer For so long I've watched into a black hole I'm drowning into the dark There's so much pressure For so long I've been watched into a black hole I sleep in broken pieces Pieces that I've forgot They call me back They call me to be there with them And I've lost the funny things, my happy days that I've got for so many years How do I feel? I must go on, I don't want to drown I am broken, but still on surface The world collapses under my feet Where the future is? There's no ambition If I could tear it up one day, a smile will rise with the sun. I will try anyway to get back on the ground I've been forgotten between these waves And I'm broken but still on surface
6.
Your touch is what I can't forgive This pain is so concrete I just want to leave you here with the poison that you keep I'm stood on a lonely road, searching to a lonely day My veins are dry like everything I want to say, but I can't Bleeding neurosis I am not a man anymore And I'll walk to a lonely day My legs are freezing like everything I want to do, but I can't Your voice scratch inside my brain And leave me ablaze like everyday And I am begging you to leave this place right now, I’m not a man anymore Just see what you did to me, what you did at last I'm not a man anymore I'm not a man anymore On the last time just let me show one thing Just let me show one thing I'm still alive with all your poison
