about

Ever feel like the odd one out only to find that you're the only one acting normal? This song represents the point when you realize that social media will not be able to deliver you the experience of life that you desire. It is too plastic, too stale, too white-washed – too algorithmic to put it into one word – to ever get you your real "feels". Yet you're still somehow supposed to stick with social media? Why?

lyrics

I can not love what I can not touch
I can not feel something pre-meditated

Why am I here?
Am I only to please?

Faith, faith, why don’t I have a little faith?
Faith in the system and its ways?
’Stead I scream mindfuck and rape, rape!
I’m too crass for goodness sakes, sakes!
Why can’t I be a little slave
To the system and its perfect ways?

I can not see a person by watching their feed
I can not talk through someone’s business mind warp

Is it just me?
Should I bow to the machine?

Faith, faith, why don’t I have a little faith?
Faith in the system and its ways?
’Stead I scream mindfuck and rape, rape!
I’m too crass for goodness sakes, sakes!
Why can’t I be a little slave
To the system and its perfect ways?

My need to feel just a dying scream here…

Faith, faith, why don’t I have that ounce of faith?
Faith in the system and its ways?
’Stead I scream mindfuck and rape, rape!
I’m too crass for goodness sakes, sakes!
Why can’t I be a little slave
To the system and its perfect ways?

The Fisherman & The Sea image

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland

From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
