Blown Out Candles

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

// Smell of Your Rot
“Smell of Your Rot” is about breaking free from the chains of psychological abuse. The song is told from the point of view of a woman who reconnects with her soul in order to take back control of her sense of self after years of living under the control and oppression of a coercive partner. A symphony of metal guitars and classical strings set the scene for this triumphant moment of liberation — which can be likened to waking up from “a deep restless sleep lasting years and year long”. Finally, she sees everything in the world in a completely different light.

// The Album
'Trust No Leaders' is a record that weaves a voyage through heavy metal history — from its roots in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal up until present day, fusing heavy metal with their signature ‘poetry performance’. Set against orchestral and cinematic soundscapes, the record also pays tribute to non-Western musical traditions, including Native American and South American folk music, Vedic chants, and Indo-Persian classical music. The lyrics bring together elements from modern theater, classical Persian poetry, to Jungian Psychology and theology. 

Commenting on the motivation behind Trust No Leaders, 
TCOMAS: "Our inspiration extends beyond musical genres and the confines of discipline.The confluence of influences in our album extend throughout time and across cultures. In retrospect, this really captures our ethos: Look back into the past for insight, and look into the future with foresight. And in doing so, we created something new of our own."

Landing about 15 months after their debut album Full Spectrum, the duo’s sophomore LP expresses a more aggressive side to the band and was recorded last summer at TCOMAS’ studio in Camden Town, London.   

Discussing the new album’s motivation, TCOMAS:
"The current crisis and the events of our time have made it necessary for us to analyse, investigate, and expose the issues in urgent need of systemic change by looking inwards into the human condition. We want the album to be a beacon of hope, for making a future that prioritises people and the environment."

// About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

Smell of Your Rot

Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe it's all in my head
I think I fixed your problem

Jealousy makes a man go crazy
I ain't ask for you to be my lady
Just want someone I can care for lately
Maybe someone I can be by daily
It ain't you cause you drink too much, drink too much
Stuck up ways you're so out of touch, out of touch
Leap of faith make you double dutch, double dutch
Lean on me let me be your crutch, be your crutch

Maybe it's all in my head
I thought we'd be much stronger
You told me you're such a wreck
I'm bleeding from your shrapnel
Keep all your diamonds & checks
Know you can't live without it
Maybe just better off dead
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem

Eyes wide open, you can't see me
Lies we've spoken, fuck I'm broken
You can't understand my motives
So gone, focus
I wish you'd notice

You told me what you'd do to me, you'd do to me
I expected it not new to me, it ain't new to me
Always worried bout your jewlery & foolery
Never mattered hoping that you'd be the one for me
You told me what you'd do to me, you'd do to me
I expected it not new to me, it ain't new to me
Always worried about your jewlery & foolery
Never mattered hoping that you'd be the one for me

Maybe it's all in my head
I thought we'd be much stronger
You told me you're such a wreck
I'm bleeding from your shrapnel
Keep all your diamonds & checks
I know you can't live without it
Maybe just better off dead
I think I fixed your problem

Maybe it's all in my head
I thought we'd be much stronger
You told me you're such a wreck
I'm bleeding from your shrapnel
Keep all your diamonds & checks
I know you can't live without it
Maybe just better off dead
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem
I think I fixed your problem

Lyrics:

Falling for you
When will I see you, too?
Falling for you 
And I know I can't go (go)
Down the same road now
And I'm going at this bitch 
It's just another lil twist 
In a story of some bliss (yeah)

I want it, bliss yeah
I wish you wanted that, too
I want a happy ending (yeah)

I don't want it 
I don't need it 
I don't want her to be conceded 
I don't want her to be a demon (demon)
She just tryna keep me fiending
I can't find a meaning 
I can't find a meaning (meaning)
She don't want to see it 
But I just need to repeat it
