"Galaxy Brain" - A lockdown fairy tail
With all this extra time we were given in 2020, The Mechanist decided to set a plan in motion that would lead to a steady stream of musical content creation. This plan was to become completely self sufficient. With Pitch Black Audio already getting a reputation for quick turnaround and high production value, we thought why not take the plunge to committing to 100% self produced works.
Enter "Galaxy Brain", the first release of 2021. This track was recorded, mixed and mastered by Les and Sam (Pitch Black Audio) and the artwork and video was created by Sam Butterfield.
The lyrics of "Galaxy Brain" are a social commentary on the people who blindly follow conspiracies.
Lyrics
You are the flesh and bone of this plague
Spiralling thought engulfs all, directionless
Consumed by rumination
Paranoid mass eats away at the the logical
Entangled in mycelial decay
Leeched of sense, repurposed
Disseminate
Parasitic notions to overcome
Rewrite and usurp the susceptible flock
Deified
The cult of the dreaming eye
Wither to the rot
Salve your confusion, as acuity is lost
Contorting and constricting every host
The grand design to undermine and advance the decline
Your third hand opinions are packaged and sold
Predictable patterns, you do as you’re told
Lapping up all the shit that you’ve been drip fed
Seeking it out just to immerse yourself
Every tragedy breeds a thousand fantasies
Rotting all reason until all that’s left are fallacies
Critical thought declines
The credulous stand beguiled
By conspiracy, malice and lies
They’re slowly eating away at your mind
Fabricate dodge and evade
Never the same
Shift the blame Inconsistent
You can’t explain Insight feigned
Fabricate dodge and evade
Never the same
Shift the blame
Inconsistent
You can’t explain Insight feigned
You turned to me and said you saw the light
As I gaze at a broken man who burned out his eyes
Repeating your refrains as you rejoin the sightless choir
Treasured for that “open” mind until your use expires
Critical thought declines
The credulous stand beguiled
By conspiracy, malice and lies
They’re slowly eating away at your mind
