This track is about how I felt when my identity was erased as I walked away from my career as a professor. I ask, “where’s the meaning in life?” Why do I need to appease my abusers? Why can’t I see my future?

Lyrics:

All I want
Stop blocking me
The demon’s edge
In my head

You’ll take me
To the depths of hell
Because

Your heart is stone
Wicked soul
Tainted bones
I’m in your tomb
Smell decay
Take me down

I can change
Rocking the boat
Destroy angels
Pride be damned 

You’ll take me
To the depths of hell
Because

Your heart is stone
Wicked soul
Tainted bones
I’m in your tomb
Smell decay
Take me down

Si in vacuum spectes
Et vacua spectet per te

Take Me Down

Novit Terminus (NT) is Dr. Jeremy C. Wells’ gothic/dark wave music project with an epic, leftfield, energetic feel. NT is the shadow work of exploring tyranny, abuse, and near death to discover joy through erasure. Explorat in extremis.
