lyrics
vicious cycle
rise and shine, obliged to obedience, you walk in the crowd like it was nothing. make your votes and play your role, the role of your life. you can't trick me, it feels wrong, all this routine, it makes you sick. another coffee, some words of comfort, this life insults you. all the money in the world won't buy you dignity, won't buy you happiness. day after day, the same old story, trapped in your loop, a vicious cycle. when will you end? when will you break the circle? no more empty words, no more serfdom. when will you see that there is more behind the curtains than 9 to 5 and pizza and TV? just so you know, there is more to life and to this world than this. just so you know, they can't force you into their grid. are you satisfied? is this what you aimed for? everyday living in hell. ruled by depression, the pressure to succeed, all you know is the daily grind. rise and shine, obliged to obedience, you walk in the crowd like it was nothing. another coffee, some words of comfort, this life insults you.
Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
