【東方 Progressive Metal】Too Much Information (feat. Angry Koishi)

Описание: Hi !

This song is part of the Betelgeuse album, made by me and friends. Check it out here:
   • 【東方 Metal】Betelgeuse - Full Album  

and on Bandcamp for free:
https://scaldingcoffeecup.bandcamp.co...

This is an arrangement of various songs:

Last Remote
Hartmann's Youkai Girl
Heartfelt Fancy
Satori Maiden 3rd Eye
from Touhou 11

End Times
from Outer Wilds

It is divided into 3 parts, telling the phases of Kishi Komeiji's life, as if the 3rd eye was a curse, by both its presence and its absence. The last part is a recollection of the memories of her and Satori's lives.

Huge thanks to Muramasa for his lyrics and Angry Koishi for his vocals :D

Thank you for listening !

Lyrics:

Forced to hear all of your vile thoughts
Why won't all of you stop screaming for a minute
Everywhere is the same blinding pain,
Hypercharged speech drills through my brain

Carrying this parasitic appendage
Which once spoke of knowledge and power
I dream of ways to silence this thing, this monster in my eye
My privacy is gone, lost to the waves of the crowd

My sister tells me it's for our good
A broken record, broken arguments
She’s embraced this sanctified disease
She can't understand the consequence

Then what can I do ?
Words mean nothing when all said at once
This thing governs me,
I've become its serf, overfed with information
Eaten alive
Hellish mental space
Abhorrent flow of spinal waste

I’m bombarded by memories and dark thoughts
Like knives raining from the clouds of stranger minds
Frantically clawing at my skull, tearing thorns apart
Please! Deliver me from this inferno

That woman, drowning between her own walls
No one knows where she is, but I can feel her terror
That child, begging for food, why does my stomach burn like theirs ?
Why do I taste their pain like bile in my throat ?

I want them all gone.
To hell with their worries.
The less existing, the less suffering.
I'm gonna fucking kill someone.

I scream until something echoes
To tame all sounds but mine
A weak signal in the ocean

Inside a maze with a thousand threads,
I soon bang my head against walls.
Wiping blood off my orifices,
I see the world red.
Depleted signals try to follow in vain.

I'm breaking down,
This shit is eating through my frame.
My limbs give out
Organs rot, failing one by one.

Ancient questions ignite in my blood.
Terror burns through every swollen vein.

Blind cells, sacrificed
In the name of sacred information

I would trade this eye for a quiet soul
Abandon its power for the life it stole
Let this dark reign rot, no more plagued supremacy
No god will dissect me for their twisted ecstasy

Reclaim my mind
And breathe

Close the eye.

After what felt like an instant
i am suddenly years in the future
Moving my limbs in a strange way
I forgot how to walk

So i sit and read a book, with a feeling of déjà vu
I can barely decipher this terrified writing
They describe a slow, cruel descent
The progressive loss of their grip on reality

Frozen deserts, dead landscapes
So began the lonely journey
Distant lights glow upon a deceased puppet
Forgotten beacon of love, the fabric unravels
nothing remains

Who knows what abyss is being stared at
The eyesight has become insufficient
Shadows are staring back at me
What is that thing dripping from their eyes ?

The notes depict treatments
Attempts at reclaiming a soulless body
As i read words with a capital letter
one of the shadows holds my hand, tightly

Suddenly
a figure emerges from the fog, "sister" it says...
Wait, is that my name ? I'm confused

How long have i been asleep ?
Am i the one who's been lost ?
Wasted childhood in agony

They speak nonsense, i speak despair
Infinitely confusing divine traps
blow millions of bodies away
Paradoxes so thick, reality collapses.

Fractured moons dripping oceans of blood
vaporized hearts elevate, but reach no heaven
Uncountable futures dissolve into
Colors witnessed by none but gods and lost souls

As i crawl, unseen, unloved
Separate from the realm of conscience
i roam and orbit my shrine
looking upwards, seeking my eye.

There is my mind lying beyond the curtain
The now invisible object must be stumbled upon
Driven by fear and scarce signals
Covered in mud, stings and buises

Sleepless search defines me now
I can't think of anything else anyway

Ah, tragedy. The end is near now.
An ominous day has arrived.
If only i could see her again.
Before i fall asleep for the last time.

Curse you, third eye.
