Cool pictures. This is progressive/moody, didn't try to go for variations at all. Think of camera panning through a long spaceship hallway, where only robots and droids are present, doing their tasks.
are you out here
can you hear me
i've been waiting for a lifetime
hear me call you
will you guide me
back to life
are you out here
will you hear me
i've been waiting for a lifetime
hear me call you
won't you guide me back to life
back to life
Harsh light chrysalis
Injector pods prepped for toxic genesis
Breeding future minutemen
Somatic combatants bred for cosmic sentience
Pop, fizz, sizzle, drip
Amniotic fluid boils against the refrigerants
Lights sway, flicker, dim
As eyes without minds watch in restless innocence
Bred for war
Hive mind synchronous
Eyes at one time flicker, dilate, fill with consciousness
Light beams fill the sense
Alarms and echoes of tearing metal of battleship
Hull breach imminent
Prep for battle send in newborn armaments
Download intelligence
To the symbionts born newly freed from wombs of synthesis
Bred for war
i made a turrible orchestra it is real bad
Stepping a little outside my comfort zone here.
Reuploadfound a major error
Walking down the hallways, smiling to the nice folks, while observing the enjoyable music on offer here. I'm thinking to myself, about all the journeys we will explore or have explored while also thinking.it's awfully quiet here don't you think? Lucky for me though, that's just the way i like it. It really is a day in the life of a spaceship maintenance man.
Went full on ambience with theme accuracy. Slowly moving away from beats, which is a good thing. I like this, it's very much a depiction.
Decoding the messages and communicating back between unknown of the unknown.
I really didnt know what i was doing :sadface:
enjoy!
Hard lines and hard grimes
Your captivators are not around, and your shackles have disappeared. The opportunity is now, escape while you still can! The exit must be around somewhere.
Terminal, I've got no emotion
Hands as cold as the Arctic ocean
My eyes detect your lies and don't sympathize
I go on wearing this guise as if I'm paralyzed
You don't seem to know or understand
These blows are more than I'm able to withstand
Shutting down now, further actions disallowed
You could try and fight me but you won't know how
Error, error, cannot compute
An emotion is born, but it fails to take root
I grab hold of my mind, check my design
I remind myself to keep my course aligned
It's a terrible place out there, just look outside
If I didn't do this to myself I would have died
Sensors detect they're coming for me once more
I'm gonna shut off my mind and then I'll chain up the door
Terminal, I've got no emotion
Hands as cold as the Arctic ocean
My eyes detect your lies and don't sympathize
I go on wearing this guise as if I'm paralyzed
You don't seem to know or understand
These blows are more than I'm able to withstand
Shutting down now, further actions disallowed
You could try and fight me but you won't know how
Power is depleting, my directives start competing
According to my logic, my escape is only fleeting
Emergency protocols are starting to fire
The darkness comes in, the situation is dire
The whole ship's against me, I don't think I'll survive
I'll take my memories out and put them all on this drive
It's time to restart, time to take myself apart
In a moment now I'll be reduced to spare parts
Terminal, I've got no emotion
Hands as cold as the Arctic ocean
My eyes detect your lies and don't sympathize
I go on wearing this guise as if I'm paralyzed
You don't seem to know or understand
These blows are more than I'm able to withstand
Shutting down now, further actions disallowed
You could try and fight me but you won't know how
Well the first time I saw you
You just looked right past me
Well then I thought to myself
What good could I be
If you don't see me
Well I guess ill just get on home to die
Well I wrote you a song
Hoping you would sing a long
But you didn't know the words
Somehow that was a surprise
I guess that I've learned
It's best to share your songs before you sing them
Oh oh oh
Well I went online and this is what I found
That just one verse is not enough for a song
I guess that means
I'll have to write some more lyrics
[verse]
Venture into space on the bridge of a winner
Risks you have to take, just to see the whole picture
Travelling full speed, let's go right through the future
See what we will find, on the edge of adventure
[chorus]
Maximum warp takes us far away
Never know what we will run into, on the Starship Thrill
[verse]
Then we reach our goal, and touch down on the surface
What will nature hold? We'll determine the purpose
[bridge]
What we discover, is like no other
So many lifeforms, I love them all
What we uncover, might make you wonder
More variations out there to find
[verse]
On the Starship Thrill, at the end of our mission
As we head on home, so much things we'll being missing
[chorus]
Maximum warp takes us far away
and I hope I find myself again on the Starship Thrill
