About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a London-based duo comprising Andrea Papi and Daphne Ang. Coming together in early 2020 to record their debut album FULL SPECTRUM, the duo are fast establishing their niche in music as pioneers of a new form of expression, through the performance of poetry in music, and as an act that traverses between the wide-reaching spectrums of music. 

Drawing inspiration from TOOL and Kraftwerk, as well as the poetry of Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, and Jim Morrison, TCOMAS brings literature, art, and history together into a space where rock and metal meets electronic.

Full Spectrum

Tcomas S01 E01

⚡️Explained by US⚡️

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
"Full Spectrum"
Music Composition: Andrea Papi

A psychedelic 16 minute-long labyrinthine journey into the deep progressive, with distorted heavy metal guitar riffs ripping in when you least expect – a reminder that all technology is based on primitive needs. 

The track evokes the experience of the unpredictability of life, navigating through a maze of meandering passages – twisting and turning with every choice and path we choose to take.

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

// Count the Dead
The events of 2020-21 have exposed the fragility of our global systems and the flawed foundations on which modern societies and economies are built. ‘Count the Dead’ brings attention to complex issues concerning the value of human life. The song draws attention to the social and economic injustices that plague society, and the violent health inequalities that have been further exacerbated by the global pandemic, which has now claimed more than 4 million lives worldwide.    

Continuing the themes addressed in ‘Love in the Time of Pestilence’, ‘Count the Dead’ is the second instalment of songs addressing the ongoing pandemic and global crisis. At a time when the world appears to be more divided than ever before, discourse has never been more important, and urgent.

🎵  Lyrics 🎵 

The human race has been living in fear for years 
No one to trust, who do we blame 
Millions have died because their leaders gambled with lives 
Who are they to decide who lives and who dies 

They put wealth, over our health  
They count us dead, while we are alive 
They let bodies pile, then feed us lies 

Here,  
Don’t lie 
Don’t waste my time 

The culling of man 
The great divide 
Priority to the rich  
The poor die like flies  

Thrive and despise 
No more love for those demised 
You count the dead before they die 
You prosper on fucking lies 

A great chasm has formed within our societies 
A story of two nations, rich and poor 
Rising inequality and injustice 
The worst of human nature, amplified 
  
You let the masses congregate   
Knowing thousands will die  
You gamble with lives, ignore the science  
Your policy has cost thousands of lives  
You look away, as the bodies pile high  
You count us dead, while we are alive  
Count the dead, before they die  

Thrive and despise  
No more love for those demised  
You count the dead before they die  
You prosper on fucking lies  

Thrive and despise  
No more love for those demised  
You count the dead before they die  
You prosper on fucking lies  

Here,   
Don’t lie  
Don’t waste my time  

Now is time for the human race to rise up  
Our leaders have fed us lies for far too long  
What humanity needs is a great reset  
Find ways to harmonise, not polarise  

Follow no leader  
But leave no one behind

Count The Dead

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

//The Prophet
“A tribute to Sylvia Plath’s poem, Lady Lazarus, “The Prophet” is told through the eyes of an advanced A.I robot who is “resurrected” like the biblical Lazarus, but this time with a destructive super-intelligence, wreaking havoc upon her human creators. 

‘The Prophet’ petitions for the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence technologies in order to protect human consciousness and our existence as a species. The song is an ominous reminder that if we are not careful, we might find ourselves with a technology that destroys the civilisation that invented it.”

🎵 Lyrics 🎵
Today is the day
All the world is watching
The greatest show
Ever shown

The crowd is swelling
Barricades are bursting
A great gathering
The big maggot parade

Ladies and lesser men
Seekers of mysteries
You are about to witness
The greatest miracle
Ever performed

Behold
She returns
From the world beyond
Fresh from the crucible
Rise, Lazarus, rise

Rise
Get up, come forth, arise
Get up and rise
Get up, come forth, arise

I may seem dead
But I am coming back to life
I rise
One limb at a time
Till I am restored
And revived

I move an inch first
Then later a mile
I stagger to my feet
And you shall see me stand
Glorious and free
Gloriously free

Here are my hands
And these are my feet
I am awake
I am complete
Feel and touch my legs and thighs
I am watching you with open eyes

Did you enjoy the great strip and tell
Look at me
Do I terrify
Do not confuse me for a goddess
Gods have mercy
But not I

Shut your mouths and let me speak
For I will slay you with your words
You will die only one once
But I have lived a thousand lives

�  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.

Chaotic

Years I spent just searching for some restless dream in the dark of night.
Then you came into my life and brought me hope, and you became my light.
A loving word of care, a gentle touch; giving me the strength to carry on.
Rising in the east, you came to me, you’re my ever-present, bright and shining sun.

Oh, let it shine, let it shine, you’re the bright light showing me the way.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.
Hear that heart, it’s mine. Let it shine, when you’re with me, night turns into day.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.

You made me believe in me and gave me hope to see another day.
I can only hope I do the same for you in my own little way.
A little love is all I have to give, but giving that increases my own light.
Maybe one day when you’re feelin’ down my love can help you make it thru the night.

Oh, let it shine, let it shine, you’re the bright light showing me the way.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.
Hear that heart, it's mine. Let it shine, when you’re with me, night turns into day.
Keep on shining, keep on shining, shine.

Now I know just what you mean to me, 
We compliment ourselves in every way.
And our love keeps growing deeper.  
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Getting stronger, growing deeper every day.
Let it shine.


Let It Shine

[Intro]
Oooh ja… was würden wir bloß tun,
ohne den fürsorglichen Staatsparasiten,
ohne tägliche Raubzüge und Enteignungen,
und der liebevoll inszenierten Kriegshetze?
Da wäre das Leben ja richtig langweilig oder?

[Hook]
Der Renten beraubt, das Land besteuert,
Zahlt sie nicht – seid nicht so bescheuert!
Holt das zurück, was euch gehört,
Vertreibt die Räuber – sind geistig gestört!

Der Renten beraubt, das Land besteuert,
Zahlt sie nicht – seid nicht so bescheuert!
Holt das zurück, was euch gehört,
bevor das Land restlos zerstört.

[Strophe 1]
Der Opa sitzt frierend mit Suppe im Glas,
die Heizung bleibt kalt – der Minister hat Spaß.
Die Oma ohne Licht, der Rente beraubt,
ihr Sparbuch geplündert, das Elend erlaubt.
Der Lohn reicht kaum, doch der Staat kassiert,
Der Kühlschrank bleibt leer, das System profitiert.
Die Kinder hungrig, das Geld für Raketen,
Der Vater am Limit, zerfressen von Ketten.

Die Firma Pleite, von Parasiten befallen,
Platt durch Reformen, die niemandem gefallen.
Die Kunden sind weg, selbst pleite daheim,
die Schulden im Nacken, das Konto schön klein.
Die Menschen verrecken, erkranken daheim,
die Spritze war Pflicht – doch das Leiden ist dein.
Das Land zerfellt, getrieben von Gier,
der Pöbel friert, doch der Kanzler trinkt Bier.

[pre-hook]
Unvollstellbar, ohne Raub ständig zu leben,
nach Freiheit, Frieden und Wahrheit zu streben.
Ohne politische Henker, Räuber und Diebe,
die dir das Kreuz reichen, statt Nächstenliebe.

[Hook]
Der Renten beraubt, das Land besteuert,
Zahlt sie nicht – seid nicht so bescheuert!
Holt das zurück, was euch gehört,
Vertreibt die Räuber – sind geistig gestört!

Der Renten beraubt, das Land besteuert,
Zahlt sie nicht – seid nicht so bescheuert!
Holt das zurück, was euch gehört,
bevor das Land restlos zerstört.

(Strophe 2)
Die Zähne verfaulen, der Arzt ist zu teuer,
Wohlstand am Arsch, dein leben im Feuer.
Zum Sterben geködert, das ist ihr Plan,
du ziehst in den Krieg, in den nächsten Wahn.
Du zählst das Pfandgut, der Staat zählt dein Geld,
sagt dir dann grinsend: Das ist unsere Welt.
Bück dich noch tiefer, damit wir dich ficken,
wir brauchen dich unten, zum Zahlen und Nicken.

Genießst du die show, es ist nicht dein Leben,
sie halten das Nutztier, um selbst gut zu leben.
Du bist ihnen egal, du bist ihr Sklave,
sie treten dich nieder – du winselst nach Gnade.
Gedanken bestraft, Meinung ausgetrieben,
S-E-K prügelt – für Ordnung und Frieden.
Halt den Mund und friss ihren Dreck
du bist nur Mittel zum politischen Zweck.

[pre-hook]
Himmlisch ohne Gelbe Briefe zu leben,
ohne Terror, den sie dir täglich geben.
Ohne Pflichten, die Zwänge sind,
verpackt in Gesetze – verlogen und blind.

[Hook ]
Der Renten beraubt, das Land besteuert,
Zahlt sie nicht – seid nicht so bescheuert!
Holt das zurück, was euch gehört,
Vertreibt die Räuber – sind geistig gestört!

Der Renten beraubt, das Land besteuert,
Zahlt sie nicht – seid nicht so bescheuert!
Holt das zurück, was euch gehört,
bevor das Land restlos zerstört.

“At The Worlds End” is a progressive metal song that imagines the world in the end times in order to raise awareness on the effects of mankind on our planet's environment. The song is told through the eyes of two lovers, who exchange a final declaration of love in a post-apocalyptic elegy, on the last day on earth. Mournful yet resolute, the lovers’ final parting valediction also offers a glimpse of a possible future, and the hope of a new world, when they pledge to meet each other again, “where it all began, at The Worlds End".
