NYTE EEGLE - "THE DECEIVER"
-------------------------------------------

from the early days...

TIM - drums, creation / lyrics
PT - guitars, vocs, bass

-----------------

you got that certain attitude
makes ya seem outta place
whenever i see you
you got that smile on your face

but you insist on sittin in your own little world
not givin a care about the insults you hurled

you think it's all fun n games
all those lies that you tell
you think you're foolin everyone
but they all know you so well

but still you're sittin there like you don't even care
is there anyone's feelings beside your own that you will spare

oh what a tangled web we weave
when at first we intend to deceive
you're THE DECEIVER

stab me in the back so many times
I feel like a pin cushion
but you're too dumb to realize
that you shouldn't be pushin

you got that certain attitude yea,, you got that certain face
whenever i see you, you got that smile on your face

so many times before now
i tried to set you right
you would'nt listen to me
you had to put up a fight

but still you're sittin there like you don't even care
is there anyone's feelings beside your own that you will spare

oh what a tangled web we weave
when at first we intend to deceive
you're THE DECEIVER

..... deceive someone else...

you got that certain attitude - makes ya seem outta place
but everytime i see - you got that look on your face
must be somethin only - only you could see
i got to tell ya that you're on my feet

you got that certain attitude yea,, you got that certain face
whenever i see you, you got that smile on your face

oh what a tangled web we weave
when at first we intend to deceive
you're THE DECEIVER

NYTE EEGLE - "DEADLY MIST"
------------------------------------------

TIM - drums
PT (Paul) - guitars, vocs, bass

----------------

nations colliding,, conflicts can't ignore
powerheads aimed,, for the western shore
nuclear warfare,, seems the final law
days now numbered,, as the weapons are drawn

MIST is rising, nuclear destruction
save us from this hell
MIST is killing, taking day
serving death well

mission accomplished,, soon to destroy the land
following closely,, the deadly master plan
innocent dying,, not the way it should be
countries falling,, crumbling into the sea

MIST is rising, nuclear destruction
save us from this hell
MIST is killing, taking day
serving death well

MIST
dead to the fire in the MIST

the earth is burning,, a chemical neon glow
mist is forming,, into atomic snow
land is barren,, skeleton of the world
nations have fallen,, a DEADLY MIST unfurls...

MIST is rising, nuclear destruction
save us from this hell
MIST is killing, taking day
serving death well

MIST
dead to the fire in the MIST

land is barren,, skeleton of the world
nations have fallen,, a mist it now unfurls......


"DEADLY MIST"

NYTE EEGLE - "BLIND SPOT"

TIM - drums
PT (Paul) - guitars, vocs, bass

never saw it comin, it's a dance of the dead
into your eyes of black, assemble the dread
i see the mirror and the vision is clear
you come from shadows and it's too late to stear

drop into the water, it's now over my head
into the night alone, the vision I shed
I see you laughin as you torture the soul
the days are darkened by a blistering hole

I can't see....
come rescue me...
I can't see....

CMON
RIGHT
GO

BLIND SPOT 
now you're fukkin with the mind rot
now you're fukkin with me
bring the pain, bring the chains
fukkin with me
bring the rain, bring the rain
comin for me
now you're fukkin with the mind rot
now you're fukkin with me
now you're fukkin with me

try to keep on drivin, get away from the pain
escape the brutal fact and get to the rain
i feel the tires spinnin out of control
the night is toppled by a deafening pull

drop into the water and i sink to the grave
into the icy cold, there's nothin to save
i see you waitin and the image is clear
thank god it's over so there's nothin to fear

I can't see....
come rescue me...
I can't see....

CMON
RIGHT
GO

BLIND SPOT
now you're fukkin with the mind rot
now you're fukkin with me
bring the pain, bring the chains
fukkin with me
bring the pain, bring the chains
fukkin with me
BLIND SPOT
now you're fukkin with the mind rot
now you're comin for me
bring the rain, bring the rain
comin for me
bring the rain, bring the rain
comin for me

you come for me

LUCID DREAMING (14.09.16)

Greed
By Tainted Icarus

Lyrics:
Open my eyes
Only to find
I've been lost in the race
And left somewhere behind

I reach out for you
But there's no reaching back
Gotta keep your place in line
For the pat on the back

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling all the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And my silent acquiescence and what that means

Just no telling what this means
You keep on collecting shit that ain't worth a hill of beans
And you keep on saying it's worth its weight in gold
And I keep on questioning the bill of goods that you've been sold

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And your silent acquiescence and what that means

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
Our silent acquiescence and what means

Special thanks to:
Bill from November Sound for your time and ears...as always my friend a total respect for your talents!

Notes: 

If you are here for the second time a deep thank you.  Someone asked how far I thought I could push this track on the production end.... here is my answer and challenge accepted.  I ended pulling the track to see how close to Stone Temple Pilot's - Sour Girl I could get.  

What a ride it has been as I delved into new things and endless moments of frustration.  If Tainted Icarus were a group of other people and I was doing their mixing,  I would have choked them all at least once.  Organic, dynamic and each of them powering up their performances...but damn does that make for some difficult mixing. 

Sour Girl is a dark, heavily compressed and tricked out track...plus some killer low end

At the end of the day or weeks in this case I pushed, pulled prodded, twisted and worked with no limitations.... yeah... maybe you shouldn't use an EQ like that... but if it seemed to get me closer away I went. 

A lot of dead ends and dark, lifeless tracks as I pushed...

Something important still eludes me and I think it may be something analog.  The slight pitch shifts and elongated/slurring of the drum track and Scott's vocal tonal shift are a clue... tape brake? tape machine? reel size?  I could go on and on.  

A fun and demanding engineering project and forced me into learning more about the tools of the craft.  

Always about moving the ball forward!

With today's final print and bringing the project to a close.  I got close enough to be proud of what I achieved.  Sour Girl is peak STP and peak era of big budget productions.  Difficult to say the least and certainly a bit outgunned... but the challenge is how I learn best and there is always next time.

I hope when you hear Greed you enjoy it, you hear the hours of labor spent at the dead ends... hours spent trying to tweak a second of the track to fall in line with the theme.  It's not perfect.... but nothing I ever work on is going to be.  Its about inviting you into the space where the music was made and to share the moments captured. 

Peace and love my brothers and sisters
Tainted Icarus

Lyrics:

Blood's boiling
Itching, scratching
till I am scabbed
it's my fixation

I'm strung I've drawn
Leap and a fall
driving me mad
wish I was sad

so sad
so sad
so sad

Blood's boiling
itching, scratching
till I am scabbed
my fixation
strong and driving
driving me mad
wish I was sad
wish I was sad
wish I was mad
or sad...

Some type of emotion
would be
better than
what I have
what I have
what I have
what I have

Blood's boiling
itching, scratching
till I am scabbed
my fixation

My Fixation

Standing
Quicksand forms the floor
Praying
To an unknown shore
We gave away
Everything to none
Wait to decay
Rotten on the floor

Lyrics: 

Couch King
I see you fawning over our fern in the morning
you make her feel like a queen 
I see the early light dawning on you and your warming
my heart let’s sage each other and get real clean 

I feel you meditating in our bed in the evening 
gotta take time for the divine 
I feel the evening light setting on our day what a blessing
you are let’s get high and open up our mind

time to open up our mind 
it’s the third eye shine 
it’s the third eye shine 
time to open up our mind 
Let the third eye shine

I wake up early in the morn and turn the fireplace on
To warm my soul before I roll
Honor my life and feel whole
With time to be in the present of 
The moment 
Meet the sacred
Take a breath 
Get awakened 
We don’t need no green to get faded 
let go of being frustrated and feel elated
I scroll through my gratefuls let go of my hatefuls 
Let love in I am faithful and see that I have a plateful
I thank God for this abundance as I take my first glance at you for the day 
we often get for what we pray
and we often deep down mean what don’t say
you bless my life everyday in ways that I don’t even realize 
so I take this time to try and open up all my eyes 
and take count before the sunrise to recognize 

Treez of the 505
Posativity, Flowin through my inner me
Leaking out my fingertips,I'm glowing with this energy
Got it from my centering,sitting in the chi ring
I see things, dream things, i am being (Huah)
Power from the inner self, strong will, good health
Worry not about the wealth, good work always sell
Keep your mind fresh, never bet on a wishing well
Never take a left when you think you gonna fail
Blessings in abundance,I'm third eye struttin
So much passion, really somthin,like a light show 'bove me
Rocket blastin to the stars cuz we talkin to the universe
Love reach far, ain't no limitaton finna quierrl
Be a pearl in the light
Be a beautiful wit your shine
Go girls and guys
get down on the third eye shine

Get Your Shirt Here

SUMMER RAIN / HOUSE MUSIC

Don't you feel at times completely alone. No matter whether you are lost in a big crowd surrounded by many, yet feel alone. Just looking around you as a witness to life that surrounds you, yet no-one seems to hear or see you.....well, if you do you are not alone. Just every so often feeling blue. Copyright protected ©

The last Song from our new Album 

Plastic seals rise upon the shore
We're ready to fly let the show begin
Bend the coasts we're already dead
Feed us with false hope until we're all drowned

And when it's done
We're all just skeletons and skins
Made from the same lies
Won't rise again
We had the chance to make it right
Failed from our own lies

Feed us greed feed us all the lies we're ready to line let the march begin
Bend the coasts we're already dead
Feed us with false hope until we're all drowned

And when it's done
We're all just skeletons and skins
Made from the same lies
Won't rise again
We had the chance to make it right
Failed from our own lies

just a matter of time
(and) i'm over you
i'm gonna sing my song
sing it to you

out into the plain
this open space
and a life i was always chasin


and into the hurt
of a life that is all forsaken
i know it's only got to
get this cold

and into the chase of this
life that's so cold
and into the places that
feel so warm
save all my graces for 
days that are gone
and into the places
that feel so warm

i'm so tired of the PAIN
i need ya now
i'm so tired of the PAIN
i need ya now
i'm so tired of the PAIN...

trapped here alone behind these bars
for evil that I do not know
I remember nothing at all
what am I here for ??.....

left to corrode away
mind drifting day by day
now forever I'm locked in
but I know I did not sin

against the wall of my cold cell
darkness sets my memory free
screams of pain, and fiery rage
crimson all around me.....

trapped here alone behind these bars
for evil that I do not know
I remember nothing at all
what am I here for ??.....

I'm by myself but not really alone
something burns inside
I see hell... vicious kill...
etched in my mind

I'm myself no more
lost to commanding sin
conscienceness that was here before
is now TRAPPED WITHIN

left to corrode away
mind drifting day by day
now forever I'm locked in
but I know I did not sin
or did I ??...........

I'm TRAPPED

trapped here alone behind these bars
for evil that I do not know
I remember nothing at all
what am I here for ??.....

I'm TRAPPED
