Astray

about

‘Astray’, the title track, is his first footsteps towards darkness, ‘the road less taken’. The sounds are dystopian and melancholic in nature which translates well with his state of mind. The first half sounds almost like an otherworldly requiem for his lost innocence and rightfully so. The impassioned man has willingly left behind his past self and has entered a landscape of mysteries with a newfound conviction, which unbeknownst to him, is going to be his doom.

lyrics

Home awaiting a blue sky
And stars leaving the world behind
But you
No you cannot save me this time

Mammoth reins
Million blind hunters
In my way
A tinge
Foreign
Becomes a downpour

Confounded
Symptoms of a cosmic truth
Eerie silence
Dragged into the maze

Light is coming hide away
Light is shining
