VERSE 1
Blanked, For a second
Like I tripped and now fall, I feel
Burdening warmth from this Pit, Of emotions
My body’s locking down, Inside
My mind catches on fire is it…
Death Clogs my thoughts now
The heat comes from my chest, I choke
On the foggy knowledge of my Flesh
Smothering me
There’s burning in my arm
No smoke
Doesn’t mean no flame I could…
Laughs, Breathe on ember
Ignite my deepest dread, Aren’t I
Nothing but a liar a, Weight
On the others
To drag out of fake trenches, I dug
A furnace of my own making no don’t…
Spin, All in my sight
Ground above closing in, Air low
Devoured by the blaze I must
Sit, And wait
Despite it all what will, Hurt most
Is to tell you I’m not fine
CHORUS
Now you may not see me
But soon I’ll be set free
In time this box will wear and I’ll burst out
I see the light break through
Just need a hand from you
To reach beyond these blackened walls of self-doubt
I know you feel it too
Yeah in some way you do
Every box is first made of alienation
Our darkness soon won’t be
It’ll show cracks and we
Will fight for in and outer revolution
BRIDGE
Oooooooh
We could be someone new
Oooooooh
We could be ourselves too
VERSE 2
Blanked, Once more
This time I drift afar, Your voice
Cannot get through this whole Sea,
Of indifference
Numbness now comes in wave, Each time
I’m drowning further I need…
Wrath, Like thunder
A sudden storm just broke, All words
Now hurts like pouring rain of, Noise
Drone currents
Fighting it off in anger, My mind
Sinks even deeper just calm…
Down, Hit by sadness
Coming in freezing flows, A glimpse
Of loved ones witnessing this, Mute
I just became
Pictures of lovers past, Estranged
By the drift of this wreck I am…
Drained, Heavy with void
I can’t swim any more, Let me
Rest on the seabed so I’m Shut
By the water
Unreachable so you, Can’t know
About this illness of mine
CHORUS
Now you may not see me
But soon I’ll be set free
In time this box will wear and I’ll burst out
I see the light break through
Just need a hand from you
To reach beyond these blackened walls of self-doubt
I know you feel it too
Yeah in some way you do
Every box is first made of alienation
Our darkness soon won’t be
It’ll show cracks and we
Will fight for in and outer revolution

about
ENGLISH VERSION
- A spectrum (plural spectra or spectrums) is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary,
without steps, across a continuum. The word was first used scientifically in optics to describe the rainbow of colors in
visible light after passing through a prism. As scientific understanding of light advanced, it came to apply to the entire
electromagnetic spectrum.
Spectrum has since been applied by analogy to topics outside optics. Thus, one might talk about the "spectrum of
political opinion", or the "spectrum of activity" of a drug, or the "autism spectrum". In these uses, values within
a spectrum may not be associated with precisely quantifiable numbers or definitions. -
Wikipedia, Spectrum
Spectrum is a difficult album to define. It's a concept, which is addressed to "those who listen to everything",
but it's also above all a politically and socially committed album.
This album fights for the recognition of transgender, non-binary, but also neuroatypic/psychoatypic people.
The first auditory experience that this album offers its listener is a very intimate jazz atmosphere. The last one
is an extreme and deconstructed grindcore song. By taking the listener by the hand to take them from this first
experience to this last one, the album draws a continuous spectrum of musical genres.
Reflected, composed and produced for more than a year, Spectrum is the mature result of a personal social
deconstruction, and pays tribute to all people marginalized due to their differences.
I hope that this album will please you, speak to you, and make you recognize the beauty of a spectral vision.
VERSION FRANCAISE
- Un spectre est une condition qui n'est pas limitée à un ensemble spécifique de valeurs mais qui peut varier,
sans étapes, à travers un continuum. Le mot a d'abord été utilisé scientifiquement en optique pour décrire l'arc-en-ciel
de couleurs en lumière visible après avoir traversé un prisme. Au fur et à mesure que la compréhension scientifique de la
lumière a progressé, elle s'est appliquée à l'ensemble du spectre électromagnétique.
Le concept de spectre a depuis été appliqué par analogie à des sujets extérieurs à l'optique. Ainsi, on pourrait parler
de "spectre de l'opinion politique", ou le "spectre d'activité" d'une drogue, ou le "spectre de l'autisme".
Dans ces utilisations, les valeurs au sein d'un spectre ne peuvent être associées à des nombres ou des définitions
précisément quantifiables. -
Wikipédia, Spectre
Spectrum est un album difficile à définir. C'est un concept album qui s'adresse à "ceux qui écoutent tout",
mais c'est aussi et surtout un album politiquement et socialement engagé.
Cet album se bat pour la reconnaissance des personnes transgenres, non binaires, mais aussi neuroatypiques/psychoatypiques.
La première expérience auditive que cet album offre à son auditeur est une atmosphère de jazz très intimiste. La dernière
est une chanson grindcore extrême et déconstruite. En prenant l'auditeur par la main pour l'emmener de cette première
expérience à cette dernière, l'album dessine un spectre continu de genres musicaux.
Réfléchi, composé et produit depuis plus d'un an, Spectrum est le résultat maturé d'une déconstruction sociale personnelle,
et rend hommage à toutes les personnes marginalisées en raison de leurs différences.
J'espère que cet album vous plaira, vous parlera, et vous fera reconnaître la beauté d'une vision spectrale.
