Jackals 02:37
The jackals on the prowl again, hungry for the feed, they team and sink their teeth into those that dare to think differently, weaponised isolation driving fear into those who wish to speak openly, unspoken opinions left to fester, they grow in intensity, and if they spill out they're sure to make enemies, when they tend to spill out it's in maximum safety, behind a screen with a fake identity, Forums that breed the worst kind of ugly, The birth of a jackal, the polarized junkie,

Lion Coward 04:48

Mouth 03:30
why don't you just open your mouth instead of typing all of your feelings out? You've got articles killing your doubt from your 'think for me baby .com" Said you know my kind, yeah you know my style, yet you copy and paste and you close your mind, can't think about growing up child cause you loose sense of what is real, Whether or not we agree on anything, its not my place to convince another mind, or fight against society, is it better to live a life of isolation, than to be forced against the grain?

Rise 05:30
Rise in the morning, One more time, Rise and don't be falling, One more time, The jackals tooth sinks deep within this lifeless stagnent body, Away from here, how can they win? Divide and conquer, brought to sight the hidden things, and justify that wisdom from our elders lost, divide them from their next of kin, this is how we let them win, they steal their mind on hidden sin, and as their state of mind decays the jackal only grins

Grey Skies 03:47
Grey skies and smoke lies and mirrors, One thought will break from its rythms, Only to find the mind, Drawn toward new Deceptions, Escaping from one perception, Volenteering their opinions, Ignorant bliss dress as a cause, Leading the blind to destruction. Sometimes it seems everyone needs someone to be their enemy, What if its me that everyone hated? If I get there, I'd hardly care, By playing my part, the rest would unify, Advocating the devils side, Great rifts of difference dividing, Optimistically residing Open the door and others close, Dogma that jealously tightens, Envy that grows into hatred, Violently over rated, Into the void no place to stand, Lost in the questions remaining, chorus Giants who live now above us, Overseeing our dependance, Once you are hooked its hard to quit, Defined by others experience, Enter the shoes of another, Vacation from sights familiar, Its all about finding the self, Lie hope the truth never finds us,

Make it Out 04:42
This silence tells me more about it, With evil glares accross the room, I can't predict how they'll react, Are they speaking about me behind my back? I disagreed, and now it's like they want my head, Chorus: But i wont make it out, (not on my own), and i can't figure out, (how to begin again) I've felt lost and alone as i stumble by, When i held my hand out it was pushed aside, I wont make it out, If that's the way they force opinion, May as well go further out, Extremes will validate my feelings, And push me deeper in the dark, And i know that lately sometimes i regret speaking the things on my mind, I guess i should just hold my tongue, Chorus x2

Instant Gratification: If I'm left needing, I won't be staying, Halt your desires, satisfy mine, Or go hit the street, Instant gratification Swap back, gimme that, gimme a phone i need that god damn validation x4 If i'm left needing, I wont be staying, Halt your desires, satisy mine, Or go hit the street Eyes: Pull the string, if you lead i will follow you just seem like you know what you came to do, something just to spite all your values, fool yourself into blindly believing, Pull the strings i relinquish my freedom, Convince me with your rhyme and your reason, i will be amongst they who are fighting, for whatever is currently trending, Chorus: Sunshine in my eyes, I wont ever.... Self care is cutting out toxic people, no growth here as we demand an equal share, evenly all the wealth for survival, enable an unearned sense of ego, Chorus x2

Like This 02:32
I don't wannt go out like this, I said, I don't wanna go out like this, I dont wanna open my eyes, I'm safe here now from hail and storm, and I don't wanna open my mind, I hate thinking that I've done wrong, but i dont wanna go out like this, I said i dont wanna go out like this, I dont wanna talk about this, I can't explain my deepest thoughts, and I don't wanna have to feel this, I hid myelf amongst the throng, But i don't wanna go out like this, I said i dont wanna go out like this, I dont wanna open my mind, I dont wanna open my eyes.

Alteration 04:28
I am losing my grip on this part of me, It falls to the dark areas of my memories, Blurry vision, I see only what I wish to see, The old me remembered only for its glory, Remembered only for its victory, How simple the closed mind seems to be, Not tied down by complexity, So much easier to think of others as the enemy, Easier to hide behind this technology, Since it gives me everything that I need What reason do I have to grip to my humanity? Like sand it slips through the cracks, it lacks the ability to entertain me, As I let go, surrender myself, so too go all of my worries, I am glued, addicted, distracted from my company, And from the other disturbing thoughts that dwell within my psyche, I think, I am losing something. But I have no time to comprehend it, The injustice that I seek must be corrected, It is they who are wrong, they are defective, The ideas that they spread, I fear are infectious, If they cannot conform, they must be rejected, We are correcting an unhealthy part of us, Progression is the only acceptable action, A powerful network of likeminded people, Our numbers will confirm the truth in our beliefs, Our voice will speak as one, United we are powerful, We are the collective, resistance is futile, you will be assimilated I am losing my grip on this part of me, It falls to the dark areas of my memories, Blurry vision, I see only what I wish to see, The old me remembered only for its glory, Remembered only for its victory, How simple the closed mind seems to be, Not tied down by complexity, So much easier to think of others as the enemy, Easier to hide behind this technology, Since it gives me everything that I need What reason do I have to grip to my humanity? Like sand it slips through the cracks, it lacks the ability to entertain me, As I let go, surrender myself, so too go all of my worries, I am glued, addicted, distracted from my company, And from the other disturbing thoughts that dwell within my psyche, I think, I am losing something. But I have no time to comprehend it, The injustice that I seek must be corrected, It is they who are wrong, they are defective, The ideas that they spread, I fear are infectious, If they cannot conform, they must be rejected, We are correcting an unhealthy part of us, Progression is the only acceptable action, A powerful network of likeminded people, Our numbers will confirm the truth in our beliefs, Our voice will speak as one, United we are powerful, We are the collective, resistance is futile, you will be assimilated the birth of a jackal, the polarized junkie

about

This album was created for my end of year recital during the 4th year of my bachelor of music honours, studied at the Western Australian Acadamy of Performing Arts.

It takes the form of a concept album that explores the negative aspects of online interaction, including the polarization of political beliefs due to negative encounters on social media, and the broad effects of cancel culture on everyday people.
