A few years back there were forest fires in my country which blew heavy smoke over where I live. For nearly two weeks everything was grey. Wherever you looked, landscapes and building could only be seen through a grey haze. It was like the world itself had become less colorful. This album brings me back to that strange time.
I am nothing and I am no one. Importance is lost upon me. The words I breathe forth are shrouded in desolation and take away rather than give. I am nothing and I am no one. I open my hands to show care and instead I give fire and brimstone pain and suffering. I am nothing and I am no one. I will kill all that I touch and all that I love bridges turn to roaring flame. I am nothing and I am no one. I will fade like a star in the night unnoticed just another grain of sand. I am nothing.
Got to some red wine smoked some weed, laying in bed rn listening to this. The chill am I soooo relax I am even dissociating into another dimension. Beautiful.
