Monumental Times

Abstract World

The new single "The Child with the Mirror" from our album Discipline of Freedom is inspired by a passage from Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra: “Folly is my joy, and foolish things it will speak: it is still too young—have patience with it!”

In this song, we explore the themes of innocence, wonder, and rediscovery of the self. The child with the mirror gazes back at a pure, unburdened reflection of the past, as we reflect on how far we've come, and yet how much of that childhood essence remains. The mirror becomes a symbol for introspection—are we still in touch with that part of ourselves that once saw the world through innocent eyes? Have we lost or simply forgotten it?

The chorus echoes this longing for reconnection: "Oh, where have you been, my soul,
the child I still can remember?
Where have you been, my soul?
Where have you been, my wonder?"

The track captures the fragility of memory and the beauty of the simple joy we once knew, as if calling out to our former selves, still full of curiosity, still holding that sense of wonder.

Fire And Smoke - Alternative

This song is a stripped-down, reflective critique of modern life, exploring how work, money, and screen-driven distractions pull us away from what truly matters—our human connections. With a minimalist, lo-fi soul vibe, it blends vulnerability with social awareness, urging listeners to see past materialism and reconnect with love, presence, and each other.

America Inside Myself


Skyscrapers the sky line 
Intersection of roads I ride on
Been traveling quite a lot
Need some fuel to keep going on

I’m leaving the city for good
I play just simple chords
You used to look down at me
From the above oh Lord 

Grand canyons
Cowboy hats
Leather jackets 
Feeling America inside myself
Listening to the silence of this ville 

Open orange skies
Are trying to make me cry
Found some snow on the ground
But I got my blanket to put on now 

I travel fast but I travel alone 
Took a picture of myself
To witness I’m not a ghost
Written a new melody to feel love

Grand canyons
Cowboy hats
Leather jackets 
Feeling America inside myself
Listening to the silence of this ville 

The new Martin sounds so good 
The price makes me so blue 

Grand canyons
Cowboy hats
Leather jackets 
Feeling America inside myself
Listening to the silence of this ville

America Inside Myself

Leaves fall slow like cosmic rain
Rust-red stars on the windowpane
The air hums low
A secret tune
Under the spell of an amber moon...

Galactic Autumn Drift

Lyrics Video: https://youtu.be/HNdnTTtcBeA

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

you will break out
of the house where the people and toys
and even the walls know your name

you will stake out
a new claim on an old and abandoned mine
all collapsed and decayed

then you’ll wait for your plot to start twisting
plant seeds in the rot
trust your system

but a movie is not how we roll
we just hang from the cliff,
never get back control

this world is so much smaller
than the movies would have you believe
and love—so much more of a mess
than the movies would have you believe

your talents—
they're worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll need to grow much taller
than the movies would have you believe

there’s no payoff—
what you think you deserve will be gone in a blink
with the surf in an ocean of rain

you can’t stay off—
there’s no armor or charm or a prayer
or a spell that can spare you the pain

no plot when the years start twisting 
and seeds grown in the rot
look to you for some wisdom

when you take on the voice of the pilot
will you color their skies in blue or in violet?

this world is so much smaller
than you think
so much more fragile
and a lot more insane

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

this world
has more superpower
than the movies would have you believe

and love—
so much more of a test
than the movies would have you believe

dreams—
worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll taste a lot more that is sour 
and even more that is sweeter
than any old movie would have you believe
