Reality

from Kenopsia by Project Vela

lyrics

[Chorus]
Is this reality? ‘Cause it’s so fucked up it’s gotta be nothing more than a terrifying dream.

Your breath is short, life is fleeting. I’m not ready for mine to take on a different meaning.
Discretion of death—indiscriminate and capricious, like saying fuck it, let’s give a vicious pull at the strings of a puppet that looks and acts and sounds like me, ‘cause I’m the creator, the actor, the animator.
When everything in life gets harder, we’ll both suffer the fate of a stone dropped in water.

[Chorus]

Crafting a persona, putting on a new face. I’m taking back control of this inanimate case of something that used to smile, something that used to laugh, obsessed with a reality that I can’t go back
Down the hatch goes all the pain that ends up stuck in my throat. I want to push my fingers down inside to make me throw up all the hurt, up all the doubt,
You know it’s gotta come out. But the way we live this life is in pain.

[Chorus]

Vibrant in an instant, ghost adjacent the next. A photo captures life but ignores death’s effects. A spark in the eyes, a gleam in the smile, makes it seem like life might be normal for a while, but it’s not. The norm is now a fight and a struggle hidden behind a slight joke. It’s a juggling act between now and eventual like playing in the rain and the sun hits a puddle—it evaporates and dissipates. Turns out this life is nothing great without you.

Everything ripped away
It’s harder every day
There’s nothing left to say
I need you with me

Is this reality?

Project Vela is working on a 6 song EP to show their new sonic direction. But even as the music evolves, the core message remains the same: this is music you can connect to. More than music, this is a heavy, melodic catharsis. ... more
