Pretty. Odd.

Nine in the Afternoon (Single Mix)

[Verse]
Words bend the sky it tilts and falls
Every language builds its walls
A world in blue a world in red
You speak the stars I dream instead

[Prechorus]
Does the sea know it's the sea
If it’s never named by you or me

[Chorus]
Linguistic relativity
Shapes the way we see the breeze
A whisper turns to gravity
What’s real is just what we believe

[Verse 2]
A thousand tongues a single tree
Roots tangled deep in memory
Colors we taste sounds we can hold
Meanings shift in stories told

[Bridge]
The words I give you hold the key
Unlock the worlds you’ll never see
Without a name the fire is cold
Without a thought the truth grows old

[Chorus]
Linguistic relativity
Shapes the way we see the breeze
A whisper turns to gravity
What’s real is just what we believe

Linguistic Relativity

Ghost Orgy — “I Have Known”

From the Orchard of Unmaking

“I Have Known” is a full litany of remembrance and ruin. Each verse gives voice to a Sister of Sin: Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery.
Together they recount the anatomy of damnation — not as myth, but as memory and in time eternally endured.

The song is built as a slow collapse. The production balances stillness and violence — ASMR-close vocals press against grinding ambience and bass that lives in the body more than the ear.

Lyrically, “I Have Known” chronicles eternity through confession: each stanza a wound, each refrain an absolution denied. Through their lens, the sisters draw upon the endless abyss of time to weave a narrative of both individual and  collective consciousness before dissolving back into the void.

It’s not revelation.
It’s recognition.
To know everything, and end knowing nothing.

I Have Known Primum (IX Cont. Totum; refr. i-iii)
