— Alchemical Catharsis: Is a term used in the context of Carl Jung’s interpretation of alchemy. According to Jung, alchemical catharsis is the first stage of transformation in the alchemical process. It is a state of disorder and disintegration that is comparable to the confession/catharsis phase of psychoanalysi. — The alchemical process of transformation has four distinct stages: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. — These stages are the framework of Jung’s characterization of the four stages of character transformation: Confession, Illumination, Education, and Transformation, culminating in the completion of the Magnum Opus and the attainment of self-realization.

Alchemical Catharsis

i clean up the world
you fall in beside me
i’ll cover the Wuhan lab
you shore up the army

i follow the news
the news is disaster
i’ve given up on my booze
to wash the world faster

every morning
every hour

stop at the top of mountains
soul care repair

it happens this way
to each generation
the entropy cabaret
and reason’s cessation

every morning
wake up to the truth
every hour
plenty more to do

stop at the top of mountains
rest there fresh air 

every morning
wake up to the truth
every hour plenty more to do

stop at the top of mountains 
pure prayer up there

One theme , 4 different versions. With the huge help from my mate Wonder Georg !

The 4 Colors Pen w/ Georg Boehme

A chuga- chuga good time blues song (ZZ Top meets Chuck Berry) about not indulging in vices. Also, race car driving.

Lyrics:
Hey friends, you know I need to give up drinking
It's tearing up my guts
But still, I'm over eating
It leaves me so perplexed
I've got to give up that 
Marijuana
It makes me malleable
Lackadaisical
Like a slow-motion hex
I've got to give up this pornography
Because it's fucking up my sex

(chorus) Oh, you've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more(2X)

Take that race car around the bend
Put the hammer down
This could be the end?
Or maybe it could be good fortune shining on your door!

I've got to stop spending so much time on the internet
It makes my attention small
I never, ever finish what I start
I've got to give up these perfumed flavored vapes
The smell reminds me
Of the woman who were 
'In love' 
With me
But now they are
'In hate'
I've got to give up the women with dark circles under their eyes
The nighttime lies
That I take
And I paint
In my darkest arts

I've got an extremely high tolerance for risk
It's more than I can take
(yeah)
Tell my friends and family
To book me a heavy metal band
For my wake
I'm gonna say to everybody
Hey, do you see that coming?
That's my Mojo rising
On the horizon
Stop criticizing
I'm just waiting for my big break
(chorus)

Take that race car around the bend
Drop the hammer down
It could be the end?
With self control
You could get the win!
You've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more...

More! (or) How I learned To Get Ahead

  we’ve been everywhere


   get up here, get up on your feet
the tide will turn for those who resist defeat
    we’ve been there, we know it too well
  the weight of the world must carry itself
     we don’t care, Laissez-faire
         we’ve been there

   horizon, the promise of a distant shore
 no longer troubles me, it holds no allure
   body enraptured, still, my heart escapes
     with no fucks to give, I need not relate
       we don’t care, Laissez-faire
           we’ve been there

   there’s no going back to the shiny and new  
    so easy on the naked eye, and useful too
            we’ve been everywhere

 dragging y' dog through the most unrelenting pain
    it’s sure to end in tears and in shame
       we don’t care, Laissez-faire
            we’ve been there

 now what we have lost here had tactile value
    all novelty aside for the tested and true
            we’ve been everywhere
                   we’ve been everywhere

Cogito Vestrum (Demo) ist ein exklusives Stück, das nur hier unter Harmonic Echo zu hören ist. Entstanden in der Schmiede von DestKorn, verbindet diese Version deutschen Gesang mit zarter Violine und einem rauen, rockigen Fundament. Der Gesang wurde mit ACE Studio umgesetzt, doch Musik, Arrangement und jede Note stammen von mir.

Der Text von Nicole K. gibt dem Stück seine besondere Tiefe. Diese Demo ist roh und unverfälscht – ein Einblick in meine Musik, die nirgends sonst veröffentlicht wurde.

Lyrics (Deutsch):
Ein Schatten wächst in meinem Herzen,
er nährt sich still aus meinem Schmerz.
Die Liebe fliegt, der Hass bleibt hier,
Gefangener im Traum von dir.

Ich suche Licht in deinem Blick,
doch jeder Funke schlägt zurück.
Zwischen Liebe und der Qual,
trägt mich die Nacht ein letztes Mal.

Die Götter schweigen, kalt und blind,
ihr Schutz verweht im schwarzen Wind.
Die Ketten schneiden, der Engel schreit,
was brennt in mir, bleibt nur dein Leid.

Ich suche Licht in deinem Blick,
doch jeder Funke schlägt zurück.
Zwischen Liebe und der Qual,
trägt mich die Nacht ein letztes Mal.

Zweisam einsam, süßes Gift,
mein Körper sinkt, die Seele drift‘.
Der Käfig bricht, doch Freiheit lügt,
wenn Dunkelheit den Morgen trügt.

Ein Feuer still, es frisst mich leer,
mein Schrei verhallt, ich will nicht mehr.
Die Sehnsucht bleibt, sie brennt in mir,
verloren, doch für immer hier.

Cogito Vestrum (Demo) – an exclusive piece available only here under Harmonic Echo. Forged in the workshop of DestKorn, this version combines German vocals with delicate violin and a raw, rock-driven foundation. Vocals were created with ACE Studio, but the music, arrangement and every single note are entirely mine.

The lyrics by Nicole K. add emotional depth to this piece. This demo is raw and unrefined – a glimpse into my music that has never been released anywhere else.

Lyrics (English translation):
A shadow grows inside my heart,
it quietly feeds upon my pain.
Love has flown, but hate remains,
a prisoner within your dream.

I search for light within your eyes,
but every spark just strikes me down.
Between love and bitter pain,
the night will carry me one last time.

The gods are silent, cold and blind,
their shelter fades in the blackened wind.
The chains cut deep, the angel cries,
what burns in me remains your pain.

I search for light within your eyes,
but every spark just strikes me down.
Between love and bitter pain,
the night will carry me one last time.

Together lonely, sweetest poison,
my body sinks, my soul drifts away.
The cage breaks open, yet freedom lies,
when darkness veils the breaking day.

A fire still, it eats me bare,
my scream fades out, I want no more.
The longing stays, it burns in me,
lost forever, yet always here.
