Here it is, Frog God's sixth full-length album.

Vanitas Vanitatum

i showed these lyrics to someone and they were baffled. they told me "you have to be... ASCENDED to write these lyrics, what is wrong with you?" song makes sense to me, idk. like past songs, it was actually written in the same syllabic pattern as The Stallion pt. 3 by Ween. 

also, this is the last single from my upcoming album, WORD OF FROG, a journey through the theological world of frog god. 

LYRICS:
speak ill of sweden's streets
sleeping inside a train car
i'm bleeding from my feet
but there is nothing to do now

you looked at me in the eyes
but said nothing of my haircut
i wished that i was dead
i said nothing...

i do not care
despite being aware
and with no help from the kelp
please forgive my mantra
and please pray to me
you know i'm god of the angels
and you're god of the moon

i'm the lord
killing the saints with their own sword
as i pray to them
we are the gods who know the lord

i looked at you in the soul
the abyss stared back at me
i saw nothing but black
i cut the cord....

i do not care
despite being aware
and with no help from the kelp
please forgive my mantra
and please pray to me
you know i'm god of the angels
and you're god of the moon

God of the Moon

this song is mainly about the drudgery of capitalism and the 40-hour work week. i can feel my soul being sucked out of my ass a little more each day. i actually wrote this song in middle school, and it was about how i was miserable that girls didn't like me back. luckily i have much worse problems now.

LIMERIX
yesterday i realized
that i fucking hate my life
i couldn’t help but fantasize
bout taking my own life 

so many things i have to do
places to be
wake up at five then work till two
that’s misery

i am in misery
you are in misery
we are in misery
when will this misery end

tomorrow i’ll realize
that i wasted my whole life
all i did was catastrophize
and battle thoughts of suicide

dont want to work don’t want to eat
or use my feet
just want to sit and feel like shit
in misery

M I S E R Y

THIS ALBUM IS ABOUT APOTHEOSIS.

FROG GOD IS NOW THE GOD OF ALL GODS, THE KING OF ALL KINGS.

HE IS MERCY. HE IS CHAOS. HE IS ABSOLUTE.

Waiting On Frog God

society is crumbling further and further each day. it's insane to continue to write and record music while everything falls apart... but you gotta keep busy eh? this album is staunchly anti-capitalism and mainly about my lost hopes for a better future. that being said, it also contains some hopeful tracks since frog god is in a good place right now.

as for the name of the album, i think i saw a video once where some avowed 'space communist' fucked with some old conservative and one of the comments said 'bless the space communist!' and here we are... almost 10 years after seeing that video, it's now the name of one of my eps. i've been on the internet for too long.

anyway, fuck the US government, fuck billionaires, fuck politicians, fuck.

Bless The Space Communist! [EP]

Heartburn

Mr. Bourgeoise

first single from AFTERFROG.

Frog God is welcomed to the Afterlife with a little groovy concert.

Welcome to the Afterlife

this was an attempt at making a "battle theme" for a video game i was making

Pleasure to Burn

mushroom cloud
nuclear war
i don't mind
anymore

i know now
what i need
diamond eyes
air i breathe

you are me
we are one
spread your wings
to the sun

Human Instrumentality Project

Oh, my love, my fear is overwhelming.
This is nothing I’ve ever felt before.
Oh, my love, your sad eyes are compelling.
Don’t cry, though you won’t know me anymore.
How much, how much have we been through?
This world is so unforgiving to you.
You know, I cherished every moment
But all these moments were never enough.

Then came the sirens, love borne from desperation.
You let me into a world I never knew.
We whispered, and it was lost in translation.
But your lips, oh, they spoke the truth
Oh, my dear, I know you always loved me.
But I wish we could start anew
Oh my world, I listen to your heartbeat
But there are many things I wish I never knew

Oh, my god, you changed my life forever.
You showed me my powers weren’t real
Oh, my muse, the fire may have turned to embers
But I never will believe how you made me feel.
Oh, you ghost, you’re gone but not forgotten
You drained all the color from my face
Oh, my light, so worthy of affection
Hold me close, just one final embrace

Your flower still grows in my veins (make me live again)
Your love still tears me apart  (give me all you can)
Your eyes still drive me insane (you’re my harmony)
And you will stay inside my heart (I’ll never forget)

Le Demoiselle d'Nucléaire

and this is the sound of rebellion
the turning of the tide
and this is the sound of surrender
baby oh how hard we tried

and there's nothing left of the future
it seems we left it all to burn
we sewed the seeds of self destruction
now we just have to wait our turn

oh what is the point of reaction
baby close your eyes
just feel the storm surround us
it's okay if you wanna cry

White Noise

Into the smog we disappear
the smell of death is looming near
A wall of black will call your name
Into a spiral twisted grave

And now you’re in your crystal tomb
Inside the universe’s womb

It will start again
But did I want it to? (I want it to, I want it to)
Go into the end
Just like we wanted to (We wanted to, we wanted to)

Pestilence
Violence

Four Frogmen

the moon looks very interesting
on polluted skies
i've never felt more ordinary
staring in your eyes

but now you are a part of me
and keep me in my lane
in return i'll comfort you
and take away your pain

wetworks under mother mary
roaming by a church
smoking in a cemetery
nothing seems to work

jealousy and pure frustration 
paralyzed by fear
you look at me with pure lustation
feel you drawing near

push me forward, feel it's right 
but he is not my mind
close my eyes and block out night
she won't leave me behind

my life would sell for a low price
but needs outlast the pros
you will long for paradise 
somewhere where it snows

i would give you everything
but the world is losing hope
i don't know how to be happy
but i know how to cope

What the Fuck?!

the development process for this album was a weird one. It actually started off as my attempt at a space opera concept album, but i soon felt the idea was trite and contrived, and consequently scrapped the entire idea. however you can still tell some songs are pretty spacey, even if i've given them different lyrics and titles. 

given all that has been going on in the world, the ideas of apocalypse and doom and despair became prominent in my head, and moved me to change the concept of my album from SPACE to APOCALYPSE. 

this album is all about nuclear war and the end of the world told from the different perspectives of humans experiencing this cataclysm. 

If you're a true fan, you'll probably notice there are some remakes on this album. I did recreate some of my earlier songs now that I know much more about production and whatnot. I just wanted to hear how my songs would have sounded if I recorded them with an actual microphone rather than iPhone headphone mics. these remakes are not meant to replace the original songs, but merely offer another slightly more accessible alternative to my older, extremely lo-fi songs. if you prefer the original, then cool, that means you have good taste, and they will always be there for your aural pleasure. i threw them on this album because they match the vibe perfectly. skybug was always about nuclear war, and burnington was always vaguely post-apocalyptic in nature.

Born From Oblivion

this isn't just one of my favorite theme songs of all time, it's one of my favorite songs of all time, period. brings me right back to 5th grade science class, where we would either watch Bill Nye or an old Eyewitness video on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Eyewitness Theme Song - Frog God Cover

it's the new dance craze. 

lyrics:

a new vibe imbibed the tribe
oh they call it the frog god slide
there’s nothing to it if you choose to groove it
oh they call it the frog god slide

frog god slide

it’s a new dance that entranced the dads
oh they call it the frog god slide
you shake your butt and you bounce your gut
oh they call it the frog slide

it makes you squeam like butter in your spleen
oh they call it the frog god slide
it makes you dance like you shit your pants
oh they call it the frog god slide

it sweeped the world like an arizona girl
oh they call it the frog god slide
you beat your knee like there’s mayo in your tea
oh they call it the frog god slide

there’s nothing on this world of mine
quite like the frog god slide
it makes you feel all happy inside
oh they call it the frog god slide

it’s a new dance that entranced the dads
oh they call it the frog god slide
there’s nothing to it if you choose to groove it
oh they call it the frog god slide

LYRICS

turn the lights off, i want it dark
the ones i loved have jumped the shark
does it matter anymore?
life won’t be like what it was before

mother come home
the house is settling
mother come home
i find myself forgetting
that you’re my only ally
only on you do i rely

the unbearable weight of the past
a reminder that nothing will last
i hear them laugh in my memory
i regret that they never knew me

mother come home
the night is unrelenting
mother come home
i find myself resenting
all the mistakes i’ve made
and the ones i continue to make

they lobotomize me
they lobotomized me
it was overwhelming
you never knew what to tell me

mother come home
mother come home
mother come home
i’m just a child, why do i roam

(it's a traditional ballad)

"Oh, where have you been, my long, long love,
this seven years and more?"
"Oh, I've come to seek my former vows
Ye granted me before."

"Oh, do not speak of your former vows,
For they will breed sad strife;
Oh, do not speak of your former vows,
For I have become a wife."

He turned him right and round about,,
And the tear blinded his ee:
"I would never have trodden on this ground
If it had not been for thee."

"If I was to leave my husband dear,
And my two babes also,
Oh, what have you to take me to,
If with you I should go?"

"I have seven ships upon the sea---
The eighth brought me to land---
With four-and-twenty bold mariners,
And music on every hand."

She has taken up her two little babes,
Kissed them on cheek and chin:
"Oh, fare ye well, my own two babes,
For I'll never see you again."

She set her foot upon the ship---
No mariners could she behold;
But the sails were of the teffeta,
And the masts of the beaten gold.

She had not sailed a league, a league,
A league but barely three,
When dismal grew his countenance,
And drumlie grew his ee.

They had not sailed a league, a league,
A league but barely three,
Until she espied his cloven foot,
And she wept right bitterly.

"Oh, hold your tongue of your weeping," said he,
"Of your weeping now let me be;
I will show you how the lilies grow
On the banks of Italy."

"Oh, what hills are yon, yon pleasant hills,
That the sun shines sweetly on?"
"Oh, yon are the hills of heaven," he said,,
"Where you will never win."

"Oh, whaten a mountain is yon," she said,
"So dreary with frost and snow?"
"Oh, yon is the mountain of hell," he cried,
"Where you and I will go."

He struck the top-mast with his hand,
The fore-mast with his knee;
And he broke that gallant ship in twain,
And sank her in the sea.

this album represents the suffering-laden cycle of life, death, and rebirth, without beginning or end. 

everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity. but the world itself, being in and around us, is never one-sided. never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner. this only seems so because we suffer the illusion that time is something real. 

wandering in deserted places there are found many traces and tracks from which we deduce the movements of heroes and gods and so we weave history. yet were our vision to become a little clearer we might discover that all these tracks are merely made by ourselves during our own earlier wanderings. 

in order to escape from this prison, one must learn not to come to an arrangement with its indisputable comforts. 

for when delusion is gone and the truth is realized by means of inquiry into self-nature, when the mind is at peace and the heart leaps to the supreme truth, when all the disturbing thought-waves in the mind have subsided and there is unbroken flow of peace and the heart is filled with the bliss of the absolute, when thus the truth has been seen in the heart, then this very world becomes an abode of bliss. 

rest in natural great peace, this exhausted mind, beaten helpless by neurotic thought, like the relentless fury of the pounding waves in the infinite ocean of samsara.

dedicated to arturo paz.

Frog God Lives!

every time i see cloud 99
visions of memories that aren't mine
what's a connection if it's just one way?
close my eyes you're here to stay

you're the smoke that blackens lungs
you're the dark song never sung
you're the razor's thin red line
you're the angel of cloud 99

every time i see cloud 99
i feel a tremor in my mind
the last thing i see before death
could this be the face of god herself?

you're the city when it's getting dark
you're the violence of a dog's bark
you're the obsession behind the shrine
you're the goddess of cloud 99

For The Boys [EP]

Cloud 99

i've been playing a lot of persona during quarantine and i felt really bad for breaking yukiko's heart on valentine's day so i wrote this song to make up for it... my love songs will be about 2D girls from now on.

lyricos

i didn’t know i would hurt you
when i talked to other girls
did you know i prefer you?
did you know you’re still my world
you gave me some chocolate
i gave you betrayal
i thought you'd be furious 
but why are you so serious

when i check in into your inn
i go to the room she was murdered in
we’ll kiss all through the long night
and everything will be alright
when i come to inside the tube
and i see you there in a darkened room
i will bring you back to life
and everything will be alright

i wanted to say i’m sorry
i let him into my head
but i promise next year
we’ll do what you want instead
i’m so sorry yukiko
no i’m sorry to all
i will strive for better
and i’ll never let you fall

when spring has sprung in your hot springs
and what i say means everything
no i won’t put up a fight
‘cause everything will be alright
when you’re trapped in a tv screen
you know i’ll do anything
to ensure you’re a-ok 
or nothing will be right again…

I'm Sorry Yukiko

FROG GOD (Matt Reilly) is a lo-fi psychedelic synthpop musician from San Diego, California. 

all music is written, recorded, and produced by the Frog God himself. 

Frog God was founded in 2015 and has been steadily releasing full-length albums and EPs ever since. 

PLEASE NOTE: 

1. Frog God sounds best with headphones set to its highest volume, while under the influence of something (anything). 

2. Do not be alarmed when songs change genre wildly from track to track. You may encounter maximalist synth pop anthems, energetic shoegaze shanties, catchy & groovy instrumental jingles, moody & introspective dream pop dirges, spacey psychedelic ballads, or even a few vaguely religious hymns. Relax; this is the normal Frog God experience.
