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:

Keep on running down the road
And leave the fear behind
Isolation's getting old
So breathe and clear your mind
The numbers rise but still we try
To find a distraction from it all
It feels the same, but everything's changed
And we will find the way out

Living in a time of uncertainty
When will we return to normality?

Separate and stay inside, but remember you're still free
We'll see you on the other side
When all of this turns into distant memories
We're in this together - it's not forever
We'll find a way to make it through
We'll live our lives, one day at a time
And wait for it to fade out and disappear

Living in a time of uncertainty
When will we return to normality?
As we drift into the great unknown
Just remember you are not alone
Just remember you're not alone

Empathy is what we need
So just hold your head up high
And don't let the Covidiots make you cry
We cannot see this invisible enemy
The systems are shutting down
Inside another victim that it has found

It is a tragedy
This contagion is spreading so viciously
And we have got to fight it together
To claim our last victory

Living in a time of uncertainty
When will we return to normality?
Waiting for the day when finally
We can kill this invisible enemy
This invisible enemy

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

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
