Conjuncture

about

This was an attempt to improve upon “Hypocrite”. The biggest difference that the two have is form. “Hypocrite” has no regular sections that are repeated besides one breakdown motif, whereas “Conjuncture” is globally set up in ABA’C. The second A section is the first performed in retrograde. The band agreed that we shouldn’t repeat the same riff again, but the feel of it was right for the song, so playing it backwards was a good solution, and it used a technique I picked up in music school. The album version slows down the final breakdown much more than the original version. Live we added a bass only outro, as it’s been our closer for a while now.

lyrics

Enslaved routine
Nervous eyes and muffled screams
Box my head in

Dead in a sense
When will my wounds be healed?
Never it seems

God if you can hear me
Where have you gone?

God if you can hear me
Where have you gone?
I was so certain, but now I'm alone

I'm alone
All alone

I'm not a victim
I need no crutches
I'm tearing out the sequence
Cycles

No passive structures
Complete control
I'm ripping out routine
At the seams

I am the architect
Of my future
Of my dreams

Take the hand that feeds you
All of your poison
To your grave

I will burn these structures
Fear no longer
Controls my mind
My word my bond
I'll set these fires

God if you can hear me
Where have you gone?
I was so certain, but now I'm alone

I'll take this life
And all this pain
I'll take this life
There is no fate

I'll take this life
With no remorse
I'll take this life
Six feet under

I'm not a victim
