about

After the release of their debut single Isolation, the band has been working hard on the release of their second single ‘Aether’’, a song that is a lot darker and mysterious than the previous single. Aether delves into the metaphysical theories about the afterlife, loss and the mystery of dreaming, and how all of that connects into grief and staying connected to the ones we have lost. The Aether is symbolized in the music video through the underwater scenes in which the two characters in the story become as one. Metaphorically this tells of the process of giving loss a place and coming to terms with one’s purpose of such events.

lyrics

Unbroken gaze, infatuated with the nearing tribunal of penance.
Fixating on the aether, looking for an answer.
What if there's nothing beyond the endless seas.
No abode of the blessed;
a forgotten elysium.
Where time stands still
We preach and pray for days beyond; the mortal coil is fading.
The etheric realm lies frozen beneath my sinking feet.

Are you whole?
Fading away with no light left to find


Can I pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out,
Closer can I draw near nights asleep
Pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out, closer
Please leave me in this dream, soundly adrift



My gaze breaks
Falling into the aether
A severed world of empty colours
a shattered veil
Bereft of all that's sacred
Incessant decay
In the gardens of time

Endless I suffer crises of faith
Devoid of serenity
Staring into your eyes

Your light is fading out
Slowly falling through the abyssal depth
And the only way out is through
Drifting away to a timeless place
I hope you find a way to make yourself whole again

As you fade away

Can I pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out, closer
Can I draw near; nights asleep
Pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out, closer
Please leave me in this dream, soundly adrift

Like a whispering gasp for air
In these hallowed halls I’m waiting for heaven's embrace
