Axons (feat. LARA Z)

"Dorian Gray" is a complex progressive metal song coming straight from hell. Inspired by Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray", we tell a story about hedonism digging right into the human abyss. This song is as violent and witty like Dorian Gray in this book. Be prepared for brutal shredding, heavy vocals and temper changes telling the life of a tormented soul. I couldn't resist drawing a portrait of how I imagine Dorian Gray. I am happy that we turned our individual strengths into something big. How would this song sound without Chad's heavy drum grooves, Against The Tempest's passion for technical metal and ambient leads, I AM MEADOWS' powerful and versatile voice and my lyrics on epic chord progressions? Prepare for headbanging, cause this "Dorian Gray" is gonna be heavy and dark.
Content Warning: strong language and violence.

==== LYRICS ====

A spell extending my lifespan 
Inside the portrait of a man 
Just look at me, I'm a handsome juvenile
My beloved died of a poison in a vial

Yellow French book without a name
Teaches me how to play war games
I wanna be much more literate and mundane
How come love 
causes so much ache and so much pain? 

Pray for sinners
Pray for saints
All is covered up with paint  

I can be
Whoever I want to be
My soul is old but I'm forever young
Oh, can't you see
What's hidden inside of me
A rotten beast with nothing left undone

Dorian Gray

An evil grin upon my face
I'd like to kill the human race
I am the saint, ready to wipe out your disgrace
Let's liquefy the painter's corpse in nitric ace

PLEASE HIDE MY PICTURE
WHO I'M DEEP INSIDE
NO TIME FOR STRICTURE
SWALLOW MY FOOLISH PRIDE

STRICKEN WITH DESASTER
SHATTERED PILASTER
STRICKEN IN YEARS
MY DEAPEST FEARS

Pray for Satan, 
Pray for God
Purify against all odds

I can be
Whoever I want to be
My soul is old but I'm forever young
Oh, can't you see
What's hidden inside of me
A rotten beast with nothing left undone

HOLY FACE OF SATYR
DON'T LET ME BE YOUR MARTYR
CREEPING MOB OF VERMINS
IDENTITY CONFIRMINED

MY LIFE IS BEYOND CONTROL
I'D LIKE TO STAB MY CANVAS SOUL
THE PRECIOUS PORTRAIT I EXTOL
DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE!

I wriggle like an eel
My face lost all appeal 
My heart still made of steel
Now I can't conceal

I have been 
What the portrait meant me to be
I've grown old, my portrait still stays young 
Oh, have you seen 
What's hidden inside of me
A rotten beast with nothing left undone

DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE
DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE
DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE

Calling my spirit home
I know she's out there
brushing dust from her spirit toes
ran off when my fever rose
left me all alone
yea
and I stitch my shadow where I won't need sun
I'm calling my spirit home
Let the wind cut this heavy air 
release the knot where I tied my hair

I know she's out there
I know she's out there
cuttin loose on her spirit stroll
strayed so far when my heartbeat slowed
left me all alone

Where has she gone
Where has she gone
I feel so numb
I am a void
Won't you come home?

I call my spirit home
   calling my spirit home

Calling My Spirit Home (amp)

Stalking in the night I don't know what to do
Looking through the window I am waving at you
Then you see me and I can feel all that you feel
You know it's not the first time I'm snooping around you
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay
Walking in your tights I don't know if it is right
I'm sure we've got so much to share together tonight
Why you're always slipping through the hands of your dreams
Let me have a look in your room, where is your bed now
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay
Don't you know I want to come in come in
Just because you are too fine
So warm, too fine
So warm, too
Count the days 'till my conviction life behind bars
Russell didn't bank on this when he wrote my stars
Oh maybe should I learn to keep my love in my pants
Or not because within the stalker always around you
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay with me baby
Don't you know I want to come in come in
Just because you are too fine
I'm walking in your tights
I don't know if it's right
I'm sure that we have so much
To share together tonight

[LYRICS]
She comes like the rain					
She comes like a Sunday morning					
She comes like the breeze					
Fresh(es) out a song in my mind					
					
I know it's a dream					
A dream that will soon be awaken					
Like a haunting memory					
I see her face in everything I do					
 					
CHORUS 1					
Nevertheless, with no regrets					
Falling for her deep inside					
Feelings I try to hide, keep on overflowing					
Ha… However, 					
Though something holds us back					
It's hard for me to forget	the tender moments that we have had					

Pastel shades of light					
Turn the page and it's all empty					
Torn between pleasure & pain					
Inside the passions we refrained					
 					
CHORUS 2					
Lingering aimlessly, fate is playing tricks on me					
If that's the way God plans to be					
No one knows where it's leading					
However,  can't get you out of my mind					
Don't you know that every time I close my eyes					
You're back again……..					
					
Instrumental & repeat Chorus 1

Perspective

I'm simplifying my profile dialog to simply say thank you for anyone taking the time to listen, comment, repost, etc.  It means a lot to me.

I use several different guitars, but my most used is probably my Fender American Ultra Stratocaster, and I record using a Line-6 Helix processor.  I use Studio One Professional DAW and have a deep library of sounds, samples, and loops to create with.  The keyboard I use for triggering sounds and playing keyboard parts is a Komplete Kontrol S-49.

You'll see on my page (below) that my music also gets posted to several other platforms. I use CD Baby to publish my music to a greater audience.

Thanks again to those who take the time to listen.  I know what I do is not for everyone, but I am just happy to reach some who may find it enjoyable to listen to.
