Signal's too strong and too broad now
foreign waves upon our shore
red light means we've gone too fast
god blindfolded speaks truth that cannot last
Increase in novelty and complexity?
please
we're just buying back what once was free
Consumed in fluorescence, escape the present
miss the first steps and hush the cries
pacified we notice no victims
upload our whole lives, silence the child
If this is progress, I beg of you
look to our young
if this is for the sake of curiosity
then surely there's enough work within
surely there's enough
Be it matter or spirit we can reduce it
but making whole demands so much more
amputate my empathic instinct
'cause with it I could never face them

How would you prefer your oppression?
under the millstone or haunted by it
subdued by omission?
Is it not your flavour of aggression?
think the weapon would look better
bearing badge and familiar colours?
Archon
there's no lord over Eden
chaos
and there's no system to fuck
Scared to loosen the chains of your brethren
pay your way through the flames
never looking back at the mass
see the hopeless writhing
You were taught the nature of humanity
intrinsic evil to tame
lest life of man become
solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short
The nihilist has won
we've cultured emptiness to prove it
no need to feel
it's not like this is real
bottle it up, son
But it's too much to ignore
it's too much to ignore
Enjoy the laughter while it lasts
'cause play is waste
no fragrance
no taste
better bottle that up, son
But where's my promised reward?
where's my promised reward?
So scared of man's innate depravity
somehow he generates this evil
as if he's closed from the world
the notion's absurd
If only it was this clear
if only I were not prone
to bias, swarm and hormone
to bitterness and fear
Archon
won't you please play the villain
This vague life
safe and soulless
without antagonist
nerfed consequence
Leaves me ever the child
ever churning
ever refusing
ever
Ever the child
ever churning
ever refusing
ever
ever the rebel
How would you prefer your oppression?
under the millstone or haunted by it
subdued
Archon
there's no lord over Eden
chaos
and there's no system to fuck

Out Of Labour

What is it that triggers me so?
why am I so easily provoked?
I too sense the injustice injustice
so I shouldn't be feeling this
Is it the false dichotomy?
does it threaten my masculinity?
I still don't think that's it
'cause I see sexual cathexis as debility
My petite bourgeois heiress
if you don't feel oppressed
by these working-class monsters
these fuck-hungry plebs
You must have stockholm syndrome
mistook the patriarch for your chaperone
and if you don't feel like a victim yet
just ask and I'll cast the first stone
Both still bleed
for soil and for seed
both will bleed
to meet our needs
To express the sexes
with monetary measure
to pollute what could be precious
derived from the premise
Man malign
woman weak
So you push guns in the hands of our daughters
thinking there's empowerment in violence
thinking Mama was your slave name
our fear and worship are both the same
Man malign
woman weak
What is it that triggers me so?
why am I so easily provoked
I to sense the injustice
both still bleed
for soil and for seed
Both still bleed
for soil and for seed
both will bleed
to meet our needs

I've told you before
you should see
what a curse it is
that we should be
alive in the end times
We who with pretence
of artistry
who sound alarm and do cry:
"see, thy stars doth descend!"
surely deserve to be just a little
deified
Witness me, my affinity
in my natural naturality
Carve a heart in every tree
oh, shame upon humanity
Never listened, never listened
deserving of destruction?
just maybe
Dream of smoke filled skies
chocked in awe and paralyzed
speak of losing time
the myth of force epitomized
Is this melted steel
these beads in my hair?
is that a glimmer of hope
in my thousand-yard stare?
My carpet bomb words
that you never bought
lay waste to the world
burning "is" down to "ought"
One day you will know
all along I was right
and the earth I forgo
in spite, in bitter spite
Never listened, never listened
to my raving reductions
witness me
Never listened, never listened
deserving of destruction
just maybe
Sound the alarm
closing deadline
lay your final gifts
at narcissus' shrine
The extinguishing sun
will be my time to shine
Dream of smoke filled skies
chocked in awe and paralyzed
speak of losing time
knowing not what I personify
The higher the pedestal
the greater the distance

I can't stay here
is there a door I haven't tried
or a wire I have not coiled
turn the light off and listen
Starlight and oxidized iron
can I identify
I need a phantom to feel
Ram, ram, ram
ram, ram, ram
Power to pull away from
feeling every edge of your shape
I can't know all of you unless I
turn the light off and listen
If this search does not cease
I will never receive
turn the light off and listen
Turn the light off and listen
turn the light off
A master of resistance I
keep on chasing the light
failing to recognize
it's already in my eyes
As I knead truth and free will and
love and death in my mind
tower of words about ready to collapse
it's so high
Well, there's no need for masonry
we build our own walls just fine
now if only I could
turn the light off
If only we could
turn the light off and listen
String theory
christ save me
om shanti shanti
Beneath the hum of this engine
I imagine ghosts a stirring
beneath the grind of this clockwork
I fancy eyes are peeking through
My heart led away from the civilized world
skin and scent and careful pressure
it was the silence that eased us inside
when I turn the light off and listen
listen
Turn the light off and listen

The Master's House

Lead me in
calm me down
sing my lungs out in protest but
you let go
Free as I used to be then
well that changed in time
sow detachment in me and
watch it grow
See through fence and innocence
as maternity fades away
memory is where victimhood lies
is it true or
is it that “I”?
Sneak a peek beneath the covers
there's trauma to be had
we've all been abandoned now
by god and mum and dad
I demand a world with a better view
Peer-reared for all these years so
the patterns reappear
archaic lesions left for
us to persevere
But now there's a break at last
these memories converge
I've found the tools to heal
to dismantle this house and purge
I demand to see my home untorn
torn
Give away
my word and say
powerless and safe
Dare not let this force
work love in me
it would merge the swarm and “I”
I choose it all
the pain, the joy
the father, the mother
It's always the self
never some other

Delvoid Oslo, Norway
Hailing from the outskirts of Oslo, Delvoid is an alternative rock band with energetic and evocative live shows. Delvoid’s sound consists of noisy sound walls, vulnerable melodies, and mammoth-sized riffs. They chase the same white whale as Tool and Sigur Ros, but add their own flavour of psychedelia and minimalism to the hunt. ... more
