Pirates of the Caribbean (2 Cellos METAL cover)

The beginning riff to this song had been stuck in my head for quite a while, but now I've finally got it worked into a song that's satisfyingly heavy! I was very much inspired by bands like Spiritbox and Dead Crown while writing the instrumental and with the spoken word voice effects.

Lyrically I wear my heart on my sleeves. I write about some intense mental struggles with self worth and battling with inner demons; I make comparisons of the brain to a "maze" and a "black cage" that I get dragged further and further into.

Hope you all enjoy this one and for any of those also struggling / wrestling inner demons - keep up the fight! The world is better with you in it! <3

Lyrics:

Is this all you are?

Is this all you are? A means to an end?
A life too broken and mangled to mend?
Drowning in fear, can anyone hear?
Lost in the maze of my brain, I’ll never be the same.

(Far beneath, blooming venomous seed)
(Rooted deep, for the soil we bleed)

FAILURE
Screaming lies, a past self immortalized
FAILURE
I’m trapped inside this black cage immobilized

Demons twisting my sanity
(Distorting reality)

DROWN THEM OUT
Tortured by pain, haunted by memories.
BLEED THEM OUT
They pull the chain dragging me down,
drag me down, drag me all the way

(All the way, all the way, all the way, all the way)

DOWN
Drag me all the way down
All the way DOWN
All the way fucking down

Is this all you are?

Is this all you are? A means to an end?
A life too broken and mangled to mend?
Drowning in fear, can no one hear?
Lost in the maze of my brain, I’ll never be the same.

I'm Andrew. 

I love and get inspiration from every genre of music, but I especially love metal, breakcore and IDM. I play guitar, drums, bass, saxophone, piano, and program/sequence music on computers. I use Reason and Renoise. Music makes the world a better place. I like to try and exist outside the traditional music boundaries.
