In My Hood

IN N OUT

On My Own [Hip-Hop / Rap]

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// Nothing but Dust 
‘Nothing but Dust’ addresses the theme of modern man’s search for his soul. The song revisits the ancient practice of desert hermitage as a means to confront and enrich one’s soul. 

The lyrics recall the sounds and semantics of the poems of the 13th c. Persian mystic, Rumi, while the music has Arabian influences. In this increasingly material world we live in, the song, to quote Jung, finds solace in the ‘desert of one's soul’ – through poetry and metal.

LYRICS

Alas
It has begun
The tempest
It has begun
The hour of my great contempt is here
The day of my reckoning has come

I must leave the warmness of this womb
My spirit summons me on a journey
You must let me go alone
For my soul is now a barren desert

My spirit carries me over vast lands
I see nothing but sand and dust
Chasms in the scorched earth
Cracked open by a relentless sun

I smell the death of hope in the air
Heavy is the air
In my solitude and silence
I find my soul a lonely desert

Alas
It has begun
The tempest
Has finally begun
Engulfed in the bosom of the storm
A vortex of nothing but dust

In the eye of the storm
He sees
He is just one of us
In the eye of the storm
He knows
He is king of dirt and dust

King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing  
King of dust
He is nothing
King of dust

If I don't return
Tell my story
If I don't return
You'll know I’m nothing but...

For miles and miles
He searches the sky
With his eyes and with his heart
He toiled from rags to riches
To build a kingdom over sand and dust

His lands
Once a plenty
Now barren fields of dirt and dust
Gazing through his filth and despair
But alas
There is nothing but dust

Alas! It has begun
The tempest has finally begun
Engulfed in the bosom of the storm
A vortex of nothing but dust

In the eye of the storm
He sees
He is just one of us
In the eye of the storm
He knows
He is king of dirt and dust

King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing
King of dust

King of nothing
King of dust
He is nothing
King of...

�  About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

Hailed as “pioneers of a new form of expression” through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy) who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, which they released on 26 February 2021. 

The duo draws inspiration from many sources stemming from Tool through to Kraftwerk and Russian Circles, as well as absorbing the poetry of Virginia Woolf and Jim Morrison in their lyrics and ‘poetry performance’. TCOMAS's music strives to fill a gap in music by bringing literature and history together into an arena where rock and metal meets electronica.Their musical and lyrical themes are very much rooted in the duo’s interests in classical literature and theatre, as well as in the fields of philosophy, history, and psychology.
