Forever in Transit aspires to create a flowing and unique collection of soundscapes that combine elements of progressive rock, fusion, world music, and soundtracks. It is a musical journey that carries the listener over peaks and valleys of high energy, technical, and melodic riffs, as well as complex, multilayered ambience. The underlying theme of Forever in Transit is the idea that we are always in motion. We are always a work in progress, never truly complete or truly content. Why keep moving? We all have our own personal reasons, and I hope that the listener will connect and engage with this concept as they listen. Each song will create a sense of travel, of moving forward, carrying the listener through the known, the intimate, and the surreal.

Forever in Transit is the recording project of Buffalo, NY based multi-instrumentalist Dan Sciolino.

Lyrics:
Surrounded by a sea of people - white noise 
Their lips don’t match what I hear - twisted white noise 
Sound doesn’t travel far, and I end up mixing metaphor 

I’m here without being here 
Off in a world unseen 
At least ‘till I realize 
It’s a world that’s never been 

Surrounded I start to drift deep into my mind 
Streams of thought intertwine, and soon I’ll leave it all behind 

I’m here without being here 
Off in a world unseen 
At least ‘till I realize 
It’s a world that’s never been 

Dreaming of disaster, I drift even deeper still 
I can find whole worlds in this prodigal of mine 
Perfectly content until… 
I realize they’re stories, nothing more 

Context fictitious 
My world is distant 
Eyes open wide while blind to real life 
Hopelessly caught between it all 
This journey ends full circle 

I’m here without being here 
Lost in a world unseen 
At least ‘till I realize 
It’s a world that’s never been 

Tell me something stupid 
Tell me that I’m just one man 
Tell me that I’m trapped inside 
This world that never was 

Tell me that I’ll never make it 
Tell me that I’m just afraid 
Tell me how weak I am 
For wishing to escape

The World That Never Was (DEBUT SINGLE)

Lyrics: 
Numb 
Slowly numb 
Just keep coasting, you aren’t as aware 
Slide in the needle too slow to feel 

Perspective plays a game 
Where missing pieces blur the bigger picture 
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder blind 
Illusory, preconceived, 
Misinformed prejudice 
Blinded by paradigm 
Scorn ignites, hate divides 

In a world where we all have 
To scream just to be heard 
No one can communicate 
We’re all deaf, dumb and blind 
Connection is impossible 
Meaningless and contrived 
All because we subdivide 
and imagine blurring lines 

You think you can feel 
But your nerves don’t fire 
You’ve leveled all waves 
Cynical and jaded 
Nothing reaches threshold 
You’ve leveled all waves 

You never will gain insight 
When your cup’s already full 
Perception distorts and blinds 
Remember to forget 

Motion without thought 
Emotion without feeling 
Numbness disinterests 
Discourse without action 
Conflict without purpose 
Stagnant disinterest 

Perception is but a door to infinite 
Open we find inherent ties, a beauty within 
Perception is but a door to infinite 
Endless forms, we are all but one

"The album is an attempt to integrate my biggest musical influences, combining disparate forms of music into a unique sound that represents who I am as a composer. The lyrical themes explored on the album deal with connection— how we relate to one another, the world, how we define our identities and the seemingly arbitrary lines that divide." 
-Dan Sciolino

States of Disconnection

"Level All Waves"

Lyrics: 
All the time in the world you realize 
Fleeting and ephemeral are the best of times 
You struggle to make sense of mixed signs 
You’re lost. Everyone you know has drifted 

Ties are impermanent at best 
Attachment is born of mutual fear 
Words are wind, fickle whispers 
Lines in the sand aren’t easily erased 

One should never have to try to justify why 
One should always simply sail by so silently 
One should never have to try to figure why 
One should let go so easily 

You dreamed of a constellation 
Lines in the sky, stars stitched in gold 
Outside of time you orbited for a while 
But then, one by one you snuffed them out 

Let go attachment thrives on fear 
Distance is just a trick of the eye 
Swallow your pride, stop treading water 
This isolation is self imposed 

One should never have to try to justify why 
One should always simply sail by so silently 
One should never have to try to figure why 
One should let go so easily 

You dreamed of a constellation 
But you think it fell apart 
Under this crushing force 
New stars are born 
New paths may meet 
Free of this disconnection 
Burning for new purpose 
Once doubt leaves, regret’s let go 
New ties form 
New paths may meet

I’m here without being here off in a world unseen

"Forever In Transit" & "The World That Never Was"

Lyrics:
My senses blur with synesthetic grace 
Racing heart sets the pace 
Searching in while reaching out 
Molecular key eliminates doubt 

Fearless I elicit a life-changing journey 
For better or worse into my mind 

I close my eyes but still can see 
Time stands still yet the hours fly by 
Wandering with purpose I deconstruct 
Tangled knots with new sight 

Spirit I call to witness this life-changing journey 
For better or worse into my mind 

The old ones dissect - no vivisect 
Flesh, blood, and bone as living memory 
With child-like awe I am confronted with 
The utter complexity of this existence 
I no longer see in only black and white 
Every ideal and every part of myself comes into question 
There is acceptance. I am temporary. 
I can be me. 

They piece me back together 
Flawlessly, seamlessly 
With newfound knowledge as equals we depart 
Twin serpents coil around me 
They whisper every secret and I untangle knots 

Freed of the world and my bridge of glass 
I must return all too soon 
Reconnected with reality 
This freedom is temporary 

Spirit I call to witness this life-changing journey 
For better or worse into my mind
