2.	Shell Shock 07:18	lyrics	buy track
Today I had a dream in which I had to die... Today I died and wished to have a dream... I can’t… I can’t control it. This anger, this fear… I hate this. I hate this all. But I have no need to feel guilty, cause I’m nobody. Cause this is my reality and I will continue on forever… I wish one day, only but one day, this would have been different… When limited to my boundaries As I can’t find the meaning of life Faceless molds and sceneries Will seem to haunt me alive… Ascending through a cosmic spiral Imagining the steps I must find Not sensing the inner rival Lurking and stalking behind the walls I’ve fallen for infinity Into my colorful dreams Where light has not faded Into the depths of unknown grim Falling to the start Crawling where I belong Like chains that drill me apart It ain’t so easy, to die alone...
3.	Spectrophobia 07:00	lyrics	buy track
Just take a glimpse in time To feel without your mind The returning to existence Of everything you have denied Enlightened being of mist Just breathing inside of you Like ear whispering of myths Erratic sparks of truth While living in a fraud Need time to find your deep traces While being a little rough This canvas with pretended faces NO! Thoughts shoving further and deep Feeling the infinite grid filming Where nothing but knowledge you can keep Being everything, daydreaming And everything was, and everything will Collecting vivid and colored messaging Left by myself, just to make me be And not yet prepared for decoding Again, again, again…
4.	Binaural Transmission 06:10	lyrics	buy track
I know I’m lost With every frozen second I know I’m dust With every time I reckon The transmigration at last Was everything they wanted Infecting and turning me an outcast Mirrored door, hanging on it As my heart stays in hell My random mold will continue I have to loosen this shell Or I’ll be forever my own pinion My own pinion… All these dead instruments Bridging your troubled mind The binary messaging Making this fragile crime Heavy, increased enraging Memories keep hope alive Thus seem to have been opening The linear timer of life Perpetual connection with infinity Thunder sensing of time Vibrating dust lucidity Forgotten with mankind
5.	Dirt 06:02	lyrics	buy track
Don’t let them break you Cause that’s what you created to learn Follow the sync of life To return in one piece again Not committing the same mistake twice Need time to give birth to eternal life So pack everything you could get Just to make sure that you never forget What have I done? There is a lot of hunger all along Is it that I could not reach? Or maybe the membrane we can’t breach Universal thinking Deteriorates with each turn Like a chess board shrinking With pawns that we can’t move The subatomic interference The passage to tons of information The lost message of this broken dance The lost calling of this whole vibration We try to communicate But we get lost in the rhythm of our own blindness We try to leave But we all push down the arms of our own partners
6.	Flesh Trails 06:24	lyrics	buy track
Flashing and smashing The silence in life Hurting and thrashing The scarlet of time The infinity of beautiful parades All of them inside me The crossing of death façade Is just destined to be Ignorance is strong enough We’re doomed to reach an end It crashes us to the cliffs of dawn While we watch the stars bend Viral infection of the energized Taking what is not mine Silence mutiny of our own kind Loosing connection all of the time Rivers of madness heat Eliminating all passion While ancestors did beat These slowed beam confessions Returning to a similar point Theoretically lying I may sure have joined My parallel life
7.	The Night Without Shadows 08:40	lyrics	buy track
Take my thoughts away Just to let inside some feelings In a painful coffin I stay Envisioning blurred willings Someone yelled at me That life’s so different when you believe And someone whispered to me If you can’t be yourself, then just leave Energy of life, creator of hollow minds I’m dying right away, in so much pain Please hold me once again… Forgive me while I leave In the night without shadows I won’t write a testament I’ll wait you in the meadows It won’t be hard to recognize me Having nothing, but being someone Grateful unimaginable glee With the void which formed us No one needs to buy flowers Nor life taken ornaments Colored dust will create only but a shower Of suffering tears … Hopeless fundaments
8.	Deranged Natural Artifice 07:18	lyrics	buy track
Cycling the spiral It won’t end for sure Hating the serpent Which pursued our lure Feeding on boredom Won’t give wisdom to a beast Try reach your freedom Dehumanize upon the mist How could you know if this is the way? Being followed and obliged You don’t need to think for yourself You must belong and try not to collide Just like a minnow That waited for a soul bait Washed ashore its inner Turned into a dead portrait Abnormal ways for being Vain ways for will Misleading nature is giving Grinded cyanide pills And the buzzing still remains Seems embarrassed of yourself It won’t speak to you again Keeps opening the abyss To your own hell But does this really matters? How did we ever get this way? Does this really matters? Where is it going to go?
9.	The Source Of Discord 06:30	lyrics	buy track
Following the yarn’s line You’re meant to be somebody Triggering the symbols of time Dark choice will spin your body Preassembled numbers of thee Paneling your schizoid dream Scratching sandman’s clothing To reveal the master of sin Base two systems I only see All is blurring before my knees Fake flashed highway ought to be The encoded skin for you and me Polarity and magnetism Full circle of life and death Always bleeding, always teasing Interference you must reject Silver, yellow and lime Colors that are not mine But we all, parasites of time Stealing the void… make it collide
10.	Humanzee 06:41	lyrics	buy track
Ain’t nothing wrong but ourselves Useless flock with trivial affairs Lacking of knowledge, inept behave Lure is nothing but insignificant concerns A man with healthy intelligence Cannot rely on being happy Because life is for him a diligence And sees that is terribly crappy This is the human plague Where delusion is your reality Cursed and with no virtues Civilized illusions of morality The cruelty of the brute consciousness Tortures the harmonic machine Turned into happiness in suffering Out of logic and reasoning Petty uncivilized product I’m not interested in discerning you anymore Unawareness of monstrous havoc Nomad thinking, you’re now on your own You’re now on your own…
11.	Silhouettes Of Clay 06:08	lyrics	buy track
Molds of clay unveiling figures In the northern barrow of exile Dripping pile of vermilion Better run away and just exhale Acceptance inhibit the true awakening As duality toys with your fears Pushing you to be threatening With others’ lives, even with peers Why are you willing to be inside? Uncomfortable fear advocates mankind Sightless ceramists of choice and time Find the pieces puzzling your mind Asking now if it’s for evil or for good Different sides of a same sieve Cause everything shortens to one single cut Confirming your reason has false beliefs Is it reality’s dream? Or is it dreaming reality? Either way you know you’ve transcended With that remoteness overlooking Of the people you know have condemned For now everything seems different Leaving emotions you needed before Is the opening of new pixelated visions The clearance of new gaps in this void
12.	Aether 07:59	lyrics	buy track
While awake in a surrogate reality Dreaming of what could it be Found the holographic avidity Of myself… against me Thought that time need some attitude Coincidence should be a choice Event horizon of solitude Principles of a senseless moist Learn fast, but die quick It’s the poor imagination of the weak Learn to die, gently slow Pouring down the sand of your fishbowl And we all sail on the cocoon Rowing aether plasma brume Trying to find the answers soon To achieve the spiritual bloom As the freedom of choice It has always been an illusion Born, grow and reproduce Externally, you won’t find the conclusion A being of light should realize Judgment day is a real call That your inner senses would suffice If the waves makes you whole
13.	I Am That I Am 07:21	lyrics	buy track
Fear the unknown Overpainting blurred messages Reptilian mental crown Amused for massacring sages Obscure your reality Juxtapose your image and likeness Contradicting rationality Always fencing truth with blindness Now that you crawl, will I lend you a hand? And what if I fall, will you help me get up? But how in this brawl, will we understand? Now that we all, are trying to climb up The four horsemen of apocalypse Shattered the mirror of illusion Pushing us to the great fall Where darkness shades of confusion We don’t understand each other anymore I can’t communicate, not even with my soul I wander the land where sacred is gore I’m feeling confused and chased by ghouls Now that I crawl, will you lend me a hand? And what if you fall, will I help you get up? But how in this brawl, will we understand? Now that we all, are trying to climb up I think therefor, I am not Only when the mind is silent I am

about

ESSENTH Quito, Ecuador

“ESSENTH is an audiovisual project whose subject matter talks about the awakening of consciousness, and the exploration of the dark side of the being: its shadow, the saturation of the individual towards an obsolete system, and the hard, and sometimes bitter, process of individuation. The light that develops within the darkness that sometimes you do not want to see.” ... more
