about

Genre: Progressive Rock

Musical Description: "Mechanical Dust" is a progressive rock tour de force that defies conventional time signatures with its unwavering 7/4 meter throughout the track, evoking a sense of urgency and restlessness that mirrors the lyrical subject's turmoil. An obstinate cyclical rhythmic B min pattern from the keyboards intertwines with an electrifying guitar riff, both laying a solid foundation for the song's narrative. The chorus transitions into an unconventional territory with a non-tonal progression of min11 chords, a bold move that compliments the futuristic and disorienting theme of the piece.

Lyrical Theme: This track isn't merely a sonic journey; it's a profound contemplation on humanity's bond with technology. "Mechanical Dust" tells a tale of hypothetical addiction to future drugs, customized and intensified by programmable nanomachines. This concept serves as a powerful metaphor for our current dependency on technology and a prophetic examination of its trajectory. The interplay of the addiction narrative with the song's complex soundscape delivers a sharp commentary on contemporary society and a haunting projection of what may lie ahead.

Additional Info: The track was recorded with the intention to innovate and convey a message that resonates with current concerns about technology and its influence on our psyche and society. We feel it represents a fresh and distinctive voice in the musical landscape, ready to be heard by a broader audience through your esteemed platform.

lyrics

MECHANICAL DUST

What is my destination
nothing better than the fight,
I really need an injection!
just a little of your light
This is my world connection
Wild party in my town
Tempatation of fornication
a little power, don’t you know how?

gimme some money, mommy!
Don't need it for what you think,
gimme some money, mommy!
Do you really want this for me?

I've just swallowed my lust
fire in my teeth
sweet mechanical dust
a technological feel
nanomachines rape me
wreak havoc on the brain
slower than you can think
psychological pain

Looking for a delirium
hot convulsions pierce like a knife
and I heard the end of Mysterium
down from the black eyes of the night
This is my bad obsession
DNA replaced with gears
like an evil demon possession
a bit of powder, why don't you fear?

gimme some money, mommy!
don’t need for what you think,
gimme some money, mommy!
Do you really want this for me?

I've just swallowed my lust
fire in my teeth
sweet mechanical dust
a technological feel
nanomachines rape me
wreak havoc on the brain
slower than you can think
psychological pain
