Lyrics:
i've got the energy of my enemy
and i'm going to war

even the rhythm couldn't pull em away
they must slay
i must say
they just pay
couldn't pull em away
from war

i consent, i consent, i consent
do war to me
they couldn't have cuddled 
even if they were huddled
puzzled they muttered
even the rhythm couldn't pull em away


pride, what the fuck is that
another scratching clawing monkey 
on your muthafucking back
brush the dishes, wash your teeth
get a job, you fucking slob
cut your hair, show your eyes
have some fuckin pride?
what for?
so i can grow up and be like you all?
have leagues of prestige
and put awards up on my wall
crawl and climb and claw
get off the floor,
compare and compare until my feelings are sore
until i'm not me at all
until i'm just one of them?
can't remember who i am
become part of the plan
like i was borgs on a cube
never have moods
but still there's something that broods
and walk around with a chip
that restricts what i think
fuck no, i'd never submit
i hit for a crit
and split
they won't know who did it
when it's all said and done,
i will have won
i'm not a prisoner to pride

i've got the energy of my enemy
and i'm going to war
 
they sent me there to think bout 
what i've done
but all i did was think bout
what i'm gonna do next
gonna block out the noise
that makes us want expensive toys
i'm gonna cut off my feeds
write and not read
attend to my needs
cancel my wants
stand in blind spots
i don't care if i'm hot
or not
it's external and blind
there's no substantive speak
it's restricting my peak
and when the shit gets real
and it's time to steal
i'll join up with criminals
they're at least they sound original
my thoughts are medicinal 
my positives innumerable
this is like that song, beautiful
but for men

cut off your feeds
attend to your needs
cancel your wants
when you got enough it's enough
don't consume create
don't consume create

STOHM A COMIN'.

"Я встретил вас" (I Met You) is a lyrical rock ballad inspired by Fyodor Tyutchev's timeless poem. This track features warm melodies, heartfelt vocals, and a serene instrumental arrangement that captures the essence of rekindled emotions and golden memories. 


Lyrics translation:

I met you — and all that was past, Revived in a heart that had ceased to live; I recalled the golden time — And warmth returned to my heart…
Like late autumn days sometimes, There are moments, there are hours, When a breeze suddenly hints at spring And something stirs within us —
So, fully swept by the breath Of those years of soulful abundance, With long-forgotten rapture, I gaze at those beloved features…
As after centuries of separation, I look at you, as if in a dream — And suddenly, the sounds grow clearer, That have never ceased within me…
Here, it’s not mere memory, Here, life has spoken anew — And in you, the same enchantment, And in my soul, the same love!

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four-string fretless bass, Roland Phantom 6 synth, vocals, lyrics, arrangement, composition
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ--  Yamaha Genos 2 and Yamaha MoXF8 
synth, organ, electric piano, and vocal harmonies
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaser through a VST synth FX device
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, Fender Acoustasonic acoustic guitar, Gibson Earl Scruggs Mastertone banjo, mix, production, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

This song started when as a vague idea Josh came up with while listening to Lionel Richie's All Night Long followed by Michael McDonald's song Sweet Freedom. He wanted to create a song that uses that same basic structure because those are both perfect pop songs in his opinion. He came up with a rough structure on his bass and piano before enlisting the help of his team of musical superheroes. 
  Ken was first up to bat, adding his magical drums and helping Josh find a groove on his bass. Ken later added the hand percussion that adds a spicy drive to the song, too. Next up was Mark, who added the funky clavinet throughout. Stephen threw down after Ken, adding some foundational guitar to the stew. He also added the awesome banjo you hear trickling throughout. Very shortly after, Tez came through with the trippy guitar solo at the end. JJ followed with the breathy organ that lifts the whole thing aloft.
  Now that we had a solid foundation to work with, Josh added the synth "horn" part in the middle, as well as the vocals, including the third harmony part in the choruses. JJ added the fifth harmony part in the choruses soon after. He also added the synth hooks throughout and synth solo at the end. Not stopping there, he also added the electric piano intro, with Ken's drums, and Stephen, who added the electric guitar in that part, as well.
  Now that the whole thing was in the can, it was time for a mix. One of our resident production experts, Stephen, did the honors, as well as the mastering. 
  This is an example of everyone in the Eclectic Collective adding just the right puzzle piece to form the bigger picture. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Got a little baggie
Got a tank of gas
Now what I need from you 
Is to light a fire under my ass

Let’s put down our phones
And turn up the tunes
By now you know there’s nothing 
That we can’t get up to

Wherever we go 
That’s where I want to be
Just as long as 
I know I have
You there with me
Because
I’m down for anything x2
And you know that’s true
You know that’s true

Whatever you wanna do
Whatever we get up to 
I’m down for anything
Anything

With you I love to eat
But I never want to sleep
Because I don’t want to miss out 
On spending any time with you

When I hear you laugh
Or get excited with a gasp
You make my heart feel like
I just ran a lap

Let go on a run 
Or figure out some fun
Or jump in the car and drive to where 
The ocean meets the sun

Chorus repeats/Chorus reprise

When you hit me with those eyes
You know you hypnotize me
And just when I think you won’t 
You can still surprise me 

We’ve done it all before
Now let’s go do it all some more
Every day is a reward 
When I feel like I just scored
