about

An old song recorded in 2018, imagined as an opener of an album named "Golden Days". The album's theme and setting take us into a then imagined distant future where people live a drone-like life, serving only a purpose of sustaining economy, culture and society controlled by an algorithm left behind by a government which used it to rule the society with efficiency and ease.

With all the people still unaware of the situation they were left in, a single individual wakes up and starts looking at the world through new eyes.

At the time of this album's creation, ten songs and instrumentals were planned to outline the story and support the narrative, travelling through various musical styles depicting parts of imagined society, its' technology, beliefs and ideals, from perspective of the helpless individual trying to make sense existence.

The songs were made as demos, prepared to be recorded in a state of the art studio, however, the songs never made it out of the studio apartment of the creator and the sound of a single audio card used for recording.
In the end, most of the songs didn't reach far from an idea, so as a remnant of a time spent and invested in this music, a single song remains as a small window into a world which in the end, happened in reality.

lyrics

So, you're human again
Trying to find the right state of mind
Leaving behind the world you used to know

Don't you know which day it is?
Fool in the crowds of a city
Running a race with no end
is an ending in itself

There you go waking to another day
Not knowing a thing ahead
Only time passes you by
As you fly high over your mind

Drunk in misery
Unaware completely
of all sense
You, I, everything else
