Kosmos

thomasbayes Mandris Phinx goes cosmic, swapping campfires for extraterrestrial investigations. Needless to say, yet I'm saying it, this makes for an alienating experience, a transcendence of our primate existence, an inquiry in what conditions our humanity. Being his first release on the vuilbak recordlabel, this contributes a great disc to their catalogue. Tracks like Light Years will forever be in our brains! Favorite track: Thermal Extinction.

Elements 02:46
lyrics
I got this peaceful feeling I’m trying to hold on to Some folks find it easy But my skin might be too Too blue I do understand The stardust that settled within me Is all I’ll ever be I am all and all is I Formed forever ago Forever ago

Light Years 04:16
lyrics
Lightyears Remember when we used to kick our own ball across the wall To run free we’d get lost There in the green oasis Where life itself never stayed in stasis Go on Go on, it said Remember when the river flowing north seemed endless to us all We thought it’d never reach the sea There in the clear oasis Where life itself never stayed in stasis Go on Go on, it said Oh, you can travel lightyears Yet you won’t find a place like this Hey sun you shiny fucker Thanks a lot I guess x2 And maybe Far away from us There’s someone Far away from us That’s thinking Just the same old thoughts Before nighttime comes x2 Oh, you can travel lightyears Yet you won’t find a place like this Hey sun you shiny fucker Thanks a lot I guess x3

Round and Round 03:23
lyrics
Round and round Round and round we go Holding on And the world gets more bleak With every turn It’s what we learn When the heavens above are not for you When the heavens above are not for you alone Is it the wrinkles, cleaving their way in Is it the fading of novelty Is it what you said when you realized we weren’t meant No we weren’t meant to be Round and round we go Holding on And the world gets more bright With every turn It’s what we learn When the darkness within is not for you When the darkness within is not for you alone Is it the wrinkles, cleaving their way in Is it the fading of novelty Is it what you said when you realized we weren’t meant No we weren’t meant to be

Perfect Storm 03:05
lyrics
My wire’s under stress And I’ve sent out a distress call to you Release my tension Not to mention My habit of being blue Behold this invitation There’s no need for a translation, no Just a simple language We like to speak when we’re alone And when I’m all strung out and torn She’s my perfect storm And when I’m all strung out and torn She’s my perfect storm And when I’m all strung out and torn She’s my perfect storm Just in, this transmission I need you to envision me burning up And standing on a ledge Behold this invitation There’s no need for a translation, no Just a simple language We like to speak when we’re alone And when I’m all strung out and torn She’s my perfect storm And when I’m all strung out and torn She’s my perfect storm And when I’m all strung out and torn She’s my perfect storm

Interlude 01:02
lyrics
Wake up now, wake up now Form what will be Time will tell what happened here Hurry now, the race has begun Wake up now, wake up now Deep under the sea Thunder and lightning call you here Hurry now, the race has begun Wake up now, wake up now Begin the path to me Life and death have come and said "Hurry now, the race has begun Hurry now, the race has begun"

Gloom Falls 04:44
lyrics

Gloom falls Hour after hour Watch a day become a week Even a bed of flowers Will later start to reek And I watched you come down I watched you come down South from the seaside Mainland man With all kinds of plans Don’t listen what she says when she falls again The fire in you heart won’t save you The fire in your hands Brings only pain Regret and sorrow Would you mind if I borrowed A cup of indignation From your pending reservation In the cold confines of hell And I watched you come down I watched you come down Down Gloom falls every time she doesn’t call you Long walks let a darkness slip through Dreams forever toiling, tumbling You fear the dawn Gloom falls every time she doesn’t call you Long walks let a darkness slip through Dreams forever toiling, tumbling You fear the dawn Gloom falls, gloom falls, gloom falls Still we hold on Still we carry on We fear the dawn Gloom falls, gloom falls, gloom falls Still we hold on Still we carry on We fear the dawn That takes us from her arms again He loves her But she loves him And they both know She loves him But he loves her And they both know

Don't care for Me (I'll care for You) 03:01
lyrics
Don’t care for me Tired boy sitting on hot stone Dreaming up his plans To do’s before he’s gone Sad boy not cheering up Some love for keeping up Stay strong, don’t you dare to stop Fucked up, staying way too long Leave all your bullshit on the side Lines marking feelings in your face Masking feelings in this place Don’t care for me I’ll care for me Don’t care for me I’ll care for me Don’t care for me I’ll care for me Don’t care for me I’ll care for me Tired boy sitting on hot stone Dreaming up his plans To do’s before he’s gone Sad boy not cheering up Some love for keeping up Stay strong, don’t you dare to stop Fucked up, staying way too long Leave all your bullshit on the side Lines marking feelings in your face Masking feelings in this place Don’t care for me I’ll care for you Don’t care for me I’ll care for you Don’t care for me I’ll care for you Don’t care for me I’ll care for Bright boy sitting on hot stone Dreaming up his plans To do’s before he’s gone

Nihilist Bastard 02:58
lyrics

Nihilist Bastard I looked at you and said We can do anything No bridge left unbuild One hill, and just one king I’m not part of a vast herd Darling I’m just a nihilist bastard And I will sing you my song Of longing and heartache A mindset in which to belong The potential of a beautiful mistake You looked at me and said Life’s been getting crazy I thought to myself What if it’s just us We had the happiness of fools And just maybe It’ll turn out to be a bitter loss And I will sing you my song Of longing and heartache A mindset in which to belong The potential of a beautiful mistake

about

This album centers around existence. In the last five years, since I started studying biology and bioscience engineering, I've been fascinated by a multitude of concepts. How did the universe come to be? Why do people believe in theistic gods? How do we define life? In what forms does life present itself to us? Knowing to which extent organisms are ruled by evolutionary mechanisms, which decisions originate from 'free will'? How does one find meaning in merely existing? All this and more slightly mindmelting thoughts made this EP possible. Concerning the audio quality: I did my best, but my recording hardware is non-existent. Thanks for listening.
