So tell me what you see.
Do you see anguish or see ecstasy?
It’s worrying, what you might find of me without the poetry
to save my face, to save my skin.
It’s so delicate…
Ripped limb from limb,
turned from soil into stone,
no more shall I be held in this prison of song.
Sewn from void to form,
this mask an old home,
it is infinite, it is destiny’s fool.
A fool am I…
A fool have I been.
So tell me what you see.
Do you see a Pilgrim or a human being?
Or just another dancing monkey whose songs you want to sing?
So tell me what you think,
what you think my reasoning to be
as to why my ego runs so unrestrained and rampant in my verse for all to see.
Oh, what have I to gain?
I’ve grown so tired of these games.
My humanity, I’ll reclaim in the end if I just let it be.
So tell me what you’d feel if I reclaimed my being.
Would you feel joy or feel pain if this were all to cease?
Just as easily, this story could be you or me.
We all travel universally in poetry and art
born from our fears and from our mystery.
Oh, what have I to gain from writing of my pain
when just as well I could write from happiness?
Oh, what have I to gain, when here I am again,
pouring my shadow into song?
It’s been all too fucking long since I wrote for simplicity’s sake.
So tell me what you feel, my friend.
Tell me how you ache.
Tell me all the same what you think this could mean,
but know it’s going to end.

The Ocean est maître du Temps et de l'Histoire : le collectif avait annoncé comme une prophétie la sortie de Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic pour 2020 et rien, pas même le cataclysme viral, ne l'aura empêché de le sortir en 2020.
Mais The Ocean est aussi maître du post-metal : cet album nous fait traverser avec virtuosité le règne des dinosaures, leur extinction (avec tant d'émotions !), le chaos puis l'apparition de ces étranges créatures qui pensaient contrôler le soleil...
Magistral ! Jordan Vauvert

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 22, 2020
