LYRICS:

Scream until your lungs can barely breathe
Spitting blood at my own legacy
The heartache and the pressure can't go on forever
Hoping I can find serenity

I'm tearing off little pieces of what I've become
Is it enough?
No

This energy surrounds me
Controlling all the signals in my brain
Regenerate and ground me
Give me strength so I can change, and I'll make amends for everything

Drain the well and fill this effigy
Light it up and burn it all
Scatter all the ashes of everything I've banished
Open up and drink this remedy

I'm looking up at a vision of what will come
It's built for us, I know

This energy surrounds me
Controlling all the signals in my brain
Regenerate and ground me
Give me strength so I can change, and I'll make amends for everything

Forget all the things I've done, and just remember what we've got to do
Together we'll take control, and we'll make it through

The sun was setting in an ocean of flames
Breathe in and feel this bright new day
Feel this love

This energy surrounds me
Controlling all the signals in my brain
Regenerate and ground me
Give me strength so I can change, and I'll make amends for everything

Everything
Everything
Everything

Regenerate

LYRICS:

Is this reality?
I'm losing faith in humanity
When sense and wisdom fails
Idiocracy prevails

How did we get to here?
Were people blinded by hate and fear?
It took us by surprise
The masses swallowed his lies

I can't believe the insanity
The damage has been done
By the flock of sheep who cannot see
Through the veil of treachery and deceit

Is this reality?
I'm losing faith in humanity
When sense and wisdom fails
Idiocracy prevails

Set sail to the end of the world
Hit the wall and then crash and burn
Reject the vaccines and medicine
In case there's poison within

Still they believe the conspiracy
Avoiding facts for fiction
Why are they still free to spread disease by choosing ignorance over evidence?

Is this reality?
I'm losing faith in humanity
When sense and wisdom fails
Idiocracy prevails
Idiocracy

Our state of mind has been simplified
When will it all end?
The only way is to educate and put our trust in them

The future's not been set
There's hope for us yet
The future's not been set
There's hope for us yet

Intelligence will be our defence
Against the ones who rule by preying on the fools

Then the hate and fear will disappear the insanity will end
We'll put our faith in those who'll make us live in hope again
The hate and fear will disappear the insanity will end
We'll put our faith in those who'll make us live in hope again

The future's not been set
There's hope for us yet
The future's not been set
There's hope for us yet

Idiocracy

LYRICS:

Finally I'm free
Of this thing controlling me
A friend turned enemy
I'm still crawling
I'm still crawling

You're not innocent
You knocked me down
You're now irrelevant
I have made it out

I hear you coming
Knocking at my door
I've thrown away the key
I've said goodbye
You won't see me any more
Cause I am finally free

The burden has been lifted
The finger shackle's gone

The caustic tongue has been cut out
Forever silenced
Forever silenced

A voice so dissonant
It drowns me out
You're just an irritant
I can do without

I hear you coming
Knocking at my door
I've thrown away the key
I've said goodbye
You won't see me any more
Cause I am free and 

I never want to hear you call
I only want to see you fall
I never want to hear you call
I only want to see you fall

The cracks were showing in your perfect plans
Now they can never be repaired
I've tolerated it for far too long now
I won't endure your vanity
I've set my sights on new horizons
You can't deny my liberty

I hear you coming
Knocking at my door
I've said goodbye
You won't see me any more

You're not innocent
You knocked me down
You're now irrelevant
I have made it out

I hear you coming
Knocking at my door
I've thrown away the key
I've said goodbye
You won't see me any more
Cause I am free and

I never want to hear you call
I only want to see you fall
I never want to hear you call
I only want to see you fall

Caustic Waves – Melodic alternative rock / metal / post-hardcore with a pinch of late-90s nostalgia

New album ECHOES - OUT NOW

Launched in 2022, CAUSTIC WAVES is the musical outlet for Glasgow-based one-man-band, Neil Thomas. With previous experience as guitarist in alt-metal band KEITEL in the mid-2000s and bassist in the harmony-driven power-pop band The Chinaskis in the 2010s, CAUSTIC WAVES now also establishes Neil as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. Embracing his love of 90s/00s alternative rock/metal, post-hardcore and grunge, Neil takes influences from bands of that era such as Incubus, Far, Deftones and Helmet.

The core sound of the new album ECHOES is a continuation of the familiar alt-rock / post-hardcore sound established on the debut EP, FULL CIRCLE. However, on the 11-track full length album, Neil pushed his songwriting further and expanded the scope of his musical palette far beyond that of the debut EP. From the TOOL-infused polyrhythms of SPOTLIGHTS to the acoustic-tinged, harmony-driven SHADOW OF THE SON, via the anthemic pop-metal of PLAYING WITH FIRE, the album refuses to stick to one pigeonhole.

The album was produced and mixed by Neil, before being given an extra layer of mastering beef by acclaimed producer Lewis Johns (earthtone9, Employed To Serve, Slow Crush, OVERSIZE)

"It's staggering that this is all the work of one person, it perfectly blends styles and genres, sounding hugely nostalgic in places, but still fresh and exciting in others" - GBHBL
