Lyrics: 

You’re ahead of me every time
My route’s already mapped out in your mind
Seeing patterns in what I do
Before it happens you anticipate my move

Am I so predictable
Such an open book? 

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
Getting kinda spooky, you looking right through me 
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

I try talking in cryptic clues
Circumlocution just doesn’t work on you
Your intuition won’t let me hide
From your X-ray vision as I try to keep inside 

The soft, the vulnerable 
Undefended heart

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
Getting kinda spooky, you looking right through me 
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

Under the surface
Under my best disguise 
I am uncovered 
There’s no retreat
From the heat of your eyes

It’s a little creepy how clearly you see me
I’m a little scared to be read
Of letting you into my head

It’s a Little Creepy...

Weird

Nothing Strange

unique blend of soul, blues, rock and jazz

get me outta here

Get me outta here

Do It Again

kiss me again

BastEt’s sound is rooted in live instruments, dominated by guitars. The sound is dense and rich, yet retains an atmospheric depth. We create sonic landscapes filled with contrasts, appealing to both classic and modern rock fans.

Harmless Dreams delves into themes of inner conflict, identity loss, and the search for freedom. The album is an emotional journey, rich in contrasts and subtle nuances.

2024 04 Tristesse

car crash is a contemporary pop/rock tune, with repetitive intertwining piano and guitar melodies and rhythmic story telling vocals, depicting a tragic story of loss and love.

04 Carcrash

Instrumental alt-rock song with heavy funk, soul & psychedelic influences.  The drums drive and propel the song forward while the Rhodes organ takes a more tranquil path to give the song it's juxtaposed groove and vibe.  The layered guitars provide the tonality, tension and soundscape that weave in and out of the rhythm and melodies alike.

Den of the Empress

Not My Own

Water water

Squeeze

Electronica with a soul. Funky darkness with a heavy dose of melody and a film quote or two.
