lyrics: 
everything i do feels unkind
now that i'm
all alone
drifting in starlight

communications have been down all day
and i finally feel like i'm in good company

this machine siphons my blood for fuel
but i don't care

i'd rather be food for a metal giant
than impose myself another second here

regardless
have you any idea of my harm list
creatures so small
i didn't even notice them

centripetal acceleration
my higher self spins round and round
even before i arrived here
i felt formless on solid ground

i'd rather be an echo in a failing craft
than another body slowly breaking down
i'd rather die alone in the void of space
than be part of a violent race

everything i do feels unkind
now that i'm
all alone
drifting in starlight

something from nothing

‘strange device’ is an ambitious and immersive journey into the darker corners of the human experience. Created by the duo cyntrix and the pilot, the album weaves together a powerful blend of distorted guitars, heavy bass, breakcore drums, and choral-style vocals to create a moody and sinister soundscape. Thematically, it delves into complex emotional realms, exploring trauma, grief, and existential dread alongside deeper themes of generational curses, moral scrupulosity, and the psychological toll of CPTSD, anxiety, and depression.

At the heart of strange device lies the title track, a cinematic rock piece that balances the album’s extremes of sound and emotion. Featuring a dynamic range of distorted guitars, synth solos, and obscure sci-fi-inspired effects, this song embodies the duo’s signature blend of intricate sound design and emotionally charged storytelling. It draws listeners into a world where personal suffering is inextricably linked to larger existential questions, offering moments of both despair and resilience.

The album represents a significant creative leap for cyntrix and the pilot. Pushing themselves beyond the electronic realm, they embraced a wider sonic palette, incorporating electric guitars, six-string bass, drum kits, and even field recordings to achieve a massive and atmospheric wall of sound. These experimental techniques were designed to reflect the album's colossal themes—nihilism, spiritual psychosis, wrath, death, and the decay of both body and mind.

In ‘strange device’, the duo confronts the agony of being born into a world darkened by the weight of past generations. Through this sonic exploration, they pose a singular, poignant question: when surrounded by the darkness, do you surrender and darken with it, or do you rise to become a beacon of light?

LYRICS:
Undergoing dissociation sometimes
Ego panicking, where do we go when we die?
Is it into oblivion?
Is it into oblivion?

Undergoing dissociation sometimes
Ego panicking, where do we go when we die?
Is it into oblivion?
Is it into oblivion?

Breathe, itz not a single worry
Breathe, itz not a single worry

Now these mysterious questions
Need answering immediately
Psy-psy-psy-psychosis
Its like im in third person
Hearing myself breathe
The perturbation is snowballing
Now I got the paranoia freeze
Even when I'm sober, maybe its the
Out of the box thinking too much ahhh
Drowning in the sea of silent introspection
Slipping away drifting into oblivion
Nothingness where I am alone
Depersonalisation, this unknown zone

Undergoing dissociation sometimes
Ego panicking, where do we go when we die?
Is it into oblivion?
Is it into oblivion?

Undergoing dissociation sometimes
Ego panicking, where do we go when we die?
Is it into oblivion?
Is it into oblivion?

Breathe, itz not a single worry
Breathe, itz not a single worry

The depersonalisation
My mind is tempted by temptations
To ignore the mortality of this reality
Until you stand under a bridge
Stand under a bridge
With a 30 foot drop
Then you're heart stops

When you stand under that bridge with a 30 foot drop
It puts everything into perspective

The mind is a plastic tool
Don't be a fool
The mind is a plastic tool
The mind is a plastic tool
Don't be a fool

Undergoing dissociation sometimes
Ego panicking, where do we go when we die?
Is it into oblivion?
Is it into oblivion?

Undergoing dissociation sometimes
Ego panicking, where do we go when we die?
Is it into oblivion?
Is it into oblivion?

Breathe, itz not a single worry
Breathe, itz not a single worry

lyrics:

if i'm face to face
i'll turn away
call for me
i'll change my name

look for your virtue
in another place
when i fell
you closed heaven

so i repel
to spite your existence
fuck your hell
beg for my forgiveness

i repel
i repel
i repel
i repel

if i'm face to face
i'll turn away
call for me
i'll change my name

look for your virtue
in another place
when i fell
you closed heaven

so i repel
to spite your existence
fuck your hell
beg for my forgiveness

i repel
(repel like a magnet, break me down i'm a fragment)
i repel
(repel like a magnet, break me down i'm a fragment)
i repel
(repel like a magnet break me down i'm a fragment)
i repel
(repel like a magnet, break me down i'm a fragment)

continue to anticipate
as if it is my will to dissipate
so i just imitate
echo incarnate

expired in the cabinet
napping in the casket
repel like a magnet
break my down like a fragment

repel

lyrics
Out from my window across from the city
I have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
Where I walk to break in new shoes
She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in passing
I ask where she's headed she tells me,
"Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages
It's been a long time, a real long time."

Out from my window "How far is Ohio?"
She laughed and pointed out east
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen.
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired man
We moved to city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since.
It's been a long time, a real long time."

Out from my window please hear me Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you
To never leave her alone
And I've gotten know her to live with to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me
See you sometime, see you sometime

I feel so scared. (..)
The love you get,
The love I give.
What if...
What if this is it?
I'm scared it is. (••)
Don't want to end,
Will I forget?
I'm scared.
I'm scared.
I'm scared to fade,
Wash us away. (ಥ_ಥ)

I feel so scared.
The love you get,
The love I give.
What if...
What if this is it?
I'm scared it is. (._.)
