Lyrics

The Narcissist

A shadow enters The gilded sty Who kneels first Receives the lie

Choreograph respect Modify your reality Mythologized his destiny Counterfeit divinity.

Teach the future How to burn Witness mirrors And never learn

Choreograph respect Modify your reality Mythologized his destiny Counterfeit divinity.

Shit, those vocals could take down buildings! This is wonderfully dark and heavy. I love it how this one just dwells in the oppressive atmosphere, never releasing the listener from its suffocating grip.

And that wraps up the trilogy nicely. I appreciate the lyrical approach; effectively painting meaning with what feels like an almost minimalist syllable count - love it. Weaving in bits of ear candy without the mix becoming a mess is an underrated skill, and the execution here is sublime.

Impressive work on the mix. The rhythm sections are crazy too! The intro is terribly anxious/oppressive. Those synths are a great addition. It hits hard and well, I really liked it!

I really like this! Cinematic is a very accurate tag for it. I'm not usually a fan of that style of vocals, but I thought they worked great here.
