Exit Wound

I'm locked away inside this cage
My tired blurry eyes are now afixed in silent wonder
Try to solidify my gaze
Beyond the hazy grey into the bright horizon yonder
Born with a number for my days
The current washes me away, the riptide pulls me under
Throws me around in every way
It tears apart my body, and rips my soul assunder

I'm waiting for the day
When I can look up into space
And know the stars await me
I'm searching for a way
To defy gravity and say to Heaven,
"Liberate me"

Liberate me
Liberate me

Tell me what it means
To truly be free
Is it what it seems?
Is it meant for me?

Is it meant for me?
Is it meant for me?

I'm waiting for the day
When I can finally embrace
And let the darkness take me
I'm searching for a way
To defy gravity and say to Heaven,
"Liberate me"

Liberate me
Liberate me
Liberate me
Liberate me
Liberate me
Liberate me
Liberate me
Liberate me

Liberate Me

Hello friends,

Welcome to my audio experience, and thank YOU for allowing me to share it with you.

XOpath has undergone many changes to become the musical project it is today. I am an independent recorder, mixer, editor, and producer with no formal training. I am just passionate about writing, creating, and sharing my music with the world.

Whenever possible I try to fuse a number of musical genres into each of my tracks, including (but not limited to):
 
# Ambient, 
# Atmospheric, 
# Breakbeat, 
# Chillstep, 
# Drum & Bass, 
# Dubstep, Drumstep, and Darkstep
# Downtempo
# EDM, 
# Electro, 
# Electronica, 
# Experimental, 
# Glitch, 
# House and Acid House, 
# Industrial, 
# Instrumental,
# Live Instrument and Vocal Recording & Sampling
# Metal
# Hard Rock 
# Techno, 
# Trance,
# and Trip Hop

Some of my influences include:

# Massive Attack

# E.S. Posthumus
# Nine Inch Nails

I hope to keep providing you with an original, unique, interesting, and constantly evolving musical experience. I hope that you continue to enjoy my music, and I thank you for your support. 

Rock on, and keep enjoying SoundCloud - the best tool the internet has to offer for aspiring independent musicians and bands.

- Mike

I am starting a new music project called Crop Circle Catalyst (the link is on my profile) which will focus on metal and industrial rock. I will still create music for XOpath, but I wanted to delve into a bit of a heavier and more creatively fulfilling outlet. New CCC tracks will come out when I have my MIDI and recording set up fully geared up and ready to go. I look forward to seeing you there and hearing what you think of my new project. Rock on!
