The cave you're afraid to enter Holds the treasures you seek A journey to the lands uncharted Nobody but me Can I go this way? And see what's inside? Don't be afraid

(Intro) The virtue of men Everlasting peace of mind Everywhere you go Malice is all you'll find So take your time And everything for granted But don't dare face another light that has been ended [Verse 1] White shores, the malice takes hold Will you meet me when we'll ride to war but not to victory, no Visions of fair men Shrouded in dark Suffer me now, cause I know you will Now tell me What do you see when you're [Chorus] Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere [Verse 2] Anything Oh you said that you wanted it all Another end looking for a start Regardless of all the warnings Everythings ugly Until somebody dies Echoes of a dead man, the both of me Now I know What you will see when you're [Chorus] Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Now I know what you see When you're everywhere Now I know what you see When you're everywhere

[Verse 1] Here we go again another life that's left unlived Anytime you try to live you feel like you won't be missed You say that you won't become another faceless in the void You have had enough of all the things you never owned So you try and you try you try so god damn hard To feel something more That you have got a part A role to play in this plastic world Set yourself on fire and ignite the world [Chorus] (Plastic World) What is it you want I just can't understand The walls are coming closer closing in On me (Plastic World) Oh what the fuck Oh what is going on Everytime i try to hide i get lost [Verse 2] Welcome here, welcome all To this motherfucking place I've been around the town You think you've seen it all But it hasn't really been the fucking half of it, my man We don't really give a fuck about your damn opinions Nothing really matters nothing's sacred Nothing really holds our effort anymore How the hell we got in this place in the first place I think I've been let astray by some fools who designed this thingy around here I think you're fucking joking Did my dad waste some sperm for this I don't think that I'm deserving I think everybody sucks, everybody's fucked around here No motherfucker, say no motherfucker there's nothing left to savor so run motherfucker Your left is right, Your light just left behind There's nothing left so run and motherfucking try hide 'Cause I don't wanna be the bearer of the bad news, so I won't But we're looking at some sweet and innocent world I don't wanna care but I fucking care so just [Bridge] See, You cannot be For everything Is just out of reach See, You cannot be For everything Is just out of reach Nobody really has any fucking clue of what is going on How did we get to this place here We don't really give a fuck about your damn opinions Nothing really matters nothing's sacred Nothing really holds our effort anymore How the hell did we get to this place [Chorus] (Plastic World) What is it you want I just can't understand The walls are coming closer closing in On me (Plastic World) Oh what the fuck Oh what is going on Everytime i try to hide i get lost [Outro] The mind can weave itself A cocoon of it's own thoughts and dwell a hermit anywhere

Cocoon 04:47
[Verse 1] You You're trapped inside You Can't find a way out You You're hid in a shell The canvas for you to now paint yourself [Pre-Chorus] It keeps you safe but not from what you find to truly hurt You isolate yourself in hopes of Finding something to grow away from again [Chorus] I wanna know what it's like To be right out of fear In these walls Where I reside no one should call this place A home, it's not my own My fantasy I'll break down I'll give in But I know it won't be in My cocoon, in My cocoon [Verse 2] You find yourself in these walls the end justifies my means in the end You don't really mind the end Do you even understand You're easily as transparent as they come Don't tread too far From your inner sanctum of your mind It's easier to be held up Construct of solace But now I know the walls are caving in There's not a thing to do I'll just be here waiting for the end So don't mind me 'cause I won't be coming back down Be sure to trust in yourself, these walls are caving in These walls are caving [Chorus] I wanna know what it's like To be right out of fear In these walls Where I reside no one should call this place A home, it's not my own My fantasy I'll break down I'll give in But I know it won't be

[Verse 1] Come fight in me Confide in me Back to a place of discomfort It's more than it is It's water under the Bridge Who would I be if I wouldn't follow you Oversaturated egos nourished to the fullest You're a centerpiece I'm just a centipede Dancing on a thin line A passenger in time But don't forget what you Are Shooting Star Make your Way Long forgotten I know where you'll stay [Verse 2] I can see myself knocking on your door and I enter through your gate Find my key right where you stand Right where you stand No matter the distance You'll make my ends meet There is nothing that I'd rather have this time It's just another fucking life heading for the fucking stars tonight I'll have my cake and then I'll eat it too 'cause if your push will come to shove there will be no you Just another fucking lie aiming for the stars tonight But don't forget what you [Chorus] Are Shooting Star (shooting star) Make your Way (Make Your Way, Make Your Way) Long forgotten I know where You'll stay (where you'll stay, where you'll stay, where you'll stay) (solo) Star Shooting Star Shooting Star Star

Just Be 04:07
[Verse 1] I think I've been outmatched by the likes that can't be be bothered What a weird sensation Oh, I think I should've noticed Anything you want Anything you need For the price of all That's how much you'll have to pay for this Anything you want Have everything you need But leave your fucking hands off of my ego that's The only thing that I posess For the low price of everything that you once had And every step of the way you feel you getting closer To what makes you, you I think it's so much easier said when everything's the same to you I think we both had had enough of going back and forth It is the same routines every god damn day Can't you just be you and I'll be me I'll be me I'll be me 'Cause everytime that I try to make it up to me I reach a little further away from being who I wanna be, seeing what I wanna see, living how I wanna live There's just no way this is real 'Cause everytime that I try to make it up to me I reach a little further away from being who I wanna be, seeing what I wanna see, living how I wanna live There's just no way this is real This is real Just be free Why can't you just be free

[Verse 1] I never got to ask how How this path would find it's way I never blamed you 'cause I never ask you never tell [Chorus] Whoever you want me to be I'll be Take me whole [Verse 2] Darkness is all around I can't be found And "Nothing" Can fix this now yeah I need out I want to go But I can't know The way I am Too much at stake I want to go But I can't know The way I am Too much at stake Whoever you want me to be I'll be Take me whole And if i know where I can go I'll go Take me whole [Bridge] I can't see now Be the light out I can't see now Be the light out [Chorus] Whoever you want me to be I'll be Take me whole And if i know where I can go I'll go Take me whole

about

The concept:
"The cave you're afraid to enter holds the treasures you seek"

'Cocoon' is an introspective journey of a man who decides to go on a journey of betterment but also journey of confrontation with everything he has spent his live burying avoiding, Where he, but most of all - nobody else can see his flaws. He has spent his entire life in pretense. So much so that the act is fooling even himself now.
In his little make-believe-reality he felt safe, secure and sheltered but he also felt self-absorbed, isolated and lonely.


He enters a dark and dank cave in hopes of claiming his spoils and come to terms with the fact that he is afraid of fear itself.
Never before has he summoned so much strength for something.

The songs each represent the fears he has. The ones he cannot shake.

From the fear of 'not being in control' of 'Just Be, the absolut disgust with human behaviour in such a critical time in our history in 'PW'. To the utter struggle of coming to terms that he is so afraid of dying and so paralyzed that he'd simply waste away doing nothing instead in "Of Time" Cocoon offers a wide variety of thematics.

The production:
This metal album took about 2 years to complete in total. It would have taken far less of my life if it wasn't for the technical side of things.
It's been recorded in my tiny home studio. Everything but the guitars and the vocals is programmed. I've used a shitty jackson guitar, a keystation 88 and a shure SM7B. That's all i could work with.
I've lost progress/the project files 2 whole times but have since been able to implement a proper backup system.
My machine just wasn't strong enough to properly do the production justice. But i'm really proud of some of the songwriting and textures.
