about

This is one of the ONLY songs we recorded as the group Locus Solus. Essentially The Traitor Aspect with only four members.

lyrics

Sit; open up your perceptions acquiring sensations
Sub-sequentially mind altering for the expectant of the brain too
Admire the wisdom
Surviving the past ancients’ design, of the ‘Hoi Physikoi’
Those concerned with true natures
At will discussions of a universal substance
Reason and rationality is now the only path
Leading those who are seeking the truth
Relativism directing facts towards the individual hearing multiple
Subjectivity's must all be accurate
For the pre-Socratic truths come from the eyes
(Distinct reality released—Spoken/Scream)
Veiled by the illusions of motion
There is no end to knowledge and time
Built for moderation, they were looking for essence
In theories at practice with acknowledgment of the misconception
(Distinct reality perceived—Spoken/Scream)
Classically redefining these shadowing figures
Aligning substantial facts with our nervous systems
Looking to your ‘self’ should this be the topic of our questioning
While an evolution takes place, the sophists spread freely
With permission of Pericles
But Socrates was cursed, among the first
Who dared to speak against them?
A trial on his integrity and impiety
WISDOM THAT WAS CURSED BY ITS OWN
Immortality now achieved with permission of Pericles
Contained to redefine all of these things
Dealing with the trust and just, this is a must (Ian)
Analyzing down to the bone
DIVERGING INTO THE UNKNOWN
Impressions of the pasts’ historical delusions
Mythical escape away from the ignorance of mankind
And the continuum of Times infectivity
Alive (Ian & Chris)
Surviving through manuscript
Now they understand why they remained skeptics out at sea
Were simply questioning on the void and nothingness
Conducting our questions towards a perfect entity
(REPEAT PART A)
Distinct realities outside the mind, veiled by the illusions of motion
A paradox leaving us alone and castrated in disbelief
Seeing them birthed into a new empiricism
That chance is now determining determinism
LEAVING A FAULTY TRACE OF THE BRAIN REDUCED AND PUT TO WASTE
ALL WHILE OUR FREE WILL WAS AT STAKE
All while our free will was at stake
They’re searching around the confines
For impressions of our pasts’ historical delusions
