Cramped 02:29
Brother sister brother, side by side  Densely packed in a room  Living, dead, living dead  Average day of crawling  Moving out of place     Confined, cluttered   Airless, gasping for their last breath  Cramped, pinned down on the floor  Trampeled, by the weight of thousands  Beating, youself with memories of past    Birds singing the song of freedom Dropping down to polluted ground  Claimed, piece by piece, for their heart    Feeding the heartless  Breathing the airless  Enlighten the blind  Praise the elderly    Fragile being, eyes in holes  The boy who has never seen the sun  Brightly shining down on him shadow of a man  Next to him, over him, under him, everywhere near    Cramped    Fighting, pulling, making his way  Out of this wretched place  A moment of hesitation  Shivers down his spine Crowded in by ten, by hundred, by a thousand
2.
Crossroads 02:19
Frustrated, tired and sick  A centipede crawling under my skin  Hello, my darling friend  Haven’t seen you in a quite a bit  Why am I dragging? Why do I rush? Why have you chosen? Chosen Me Constricted, held Back   No more, release me, no more, centipede Stomp, the centipede  Consume, its remains  Locked down in my mind  Is a bitter memory  How Centipede found its end   Hundred legs on crossroads   Why am I dragging? Why do I rush? Why have you chained? Chained Me Determined to reach   End of every junction  Little legs wiggling  Towards the finish  Of every path  No more, release me, no more, centipede Every goal, every target, every misery, every joy
3.
Extinct 01:39
Picking grass, smelling flowers  Cocooned inside, farewell  It fell down, on the grass  Stomped on   Desert wasteland, liliac sun  The elixir of youth  He rose up, to another life  Heart beating  Projection of imagination Subject to false advertisment Covered with belief and built in trust Patronized by its own weaknesses Roaming around these blossoming lands As the sole being of its kind Shimmer flowing with rivers waves Its fate decided by trial and error He will be extinct
4.
Psychosis 02:18
Mass psychosis, manipulation  Close knit family  Experiencing, imitation  Crowds think they are saved  Followers marching the square  To the victory they say  And bow their heads    Blind mind, brightly controlled  Day to day we join  Masses of psychosis    Bright light shining on to every  Last one of us and calling us out  To fill the screen with meaning  Important to you and me as well    Forgotten, the buttons  To control their presence  Lightning strike of clarity    Coven of bright light Coven of dim light Follower of artificial life  Follower of empty life   They will go on with their lives  They will go on to be yelling madly  On with posessed darkness  On with locking away their fear
5.
Hollow 01:38
Superior existence, that means nothing Symbolic immortality, of a world for no one Follow, worship False idols will cease vanish and shrink Meaningless, aimless Vessel adrift in a sea of hollow images Useless, worthless Admiration of hot steamy air and jealousy Empty, senseless Superior existence in the flesh of fear In front of you, looking at their toes Behind you, gazing up the sky Around everywhere, mostly same What are their true intensions? Better themselves through lies Where are they heading with this? Going in circles hiding the truth What is their true goal? Form perfection out of imperfection
6.
Antidote 02:25
Back straightened, hair curled, shimmering eyes Tilting head from left to right, back and forth    Through cupboards searching  Looking for another vial   Pale skin, bursting blood vessel     Stronger than ever, happier seemingly  Strolling down the isle, reaching towards an exit    Running, escaping  Dropping his chances  Into a small puddle of glowing mass  Exchanging a smile before evaporating    Up down, left and right  Sodding off, waking up  In and out, of counciousness  Pattern changing on the wall  Hypnotizing his mind  Body starts to break  Giving up on reason  Timing its end
7.
Origin 02:22
From the centre of earth  Came a man to be    On a quiet night, when the moon fell  Utter darkness, mutter source  To the tale old as man from centuries afar    Greetings in forgotten language  Pleasantries are shared between  Peasant and a graceful master  Iron horse steaming through  Vast landscapes of aging scenery  In not so distant future    A man does not remember  From where it came and where it goes  Complexity of life eradicates  The road the man once walked alone    A man does not remember
8.
Wet Cloth 00:29
A road of mud  Heavily stomped  Along the coast  Glance of wet cloth  Laying in the corner    Useless as ever  Worthless as always  Just laying there  Forever 
9.
Projections 02:06
I am with you and I  We are and we will  I am with I and them  We have, we have the will  I am with you and yours  You had the will of ours  Our own dreams and realms in our dreams  Representation of desire  Light games on the wall  One Shade crawling up on another  Light flickers, shadow dissapearing  Reappearing  Holographic image of your visions  Are projected in my mind
10.
Stroll 02:10
Beauty of the scenery  Eager to retrieve a bit From these prosperous Grounds of attraction    Result of his stroll is to gain  Displayed magnificense And hide To the shadows eternal cover To dismantle existing  Omnious entities are gathering  Speculating, imitating   Until it withers away Until there is no more  Until it withers away Until there is no more    Scarce are the words spoken  Beauty of the scenery  Eager to retrieve a bit Endless reoccurence of violation  All that is left is scarred
11.
Tin Soldier 02:34
Their hands are tangled together   Forming future on a shade    Out of ash rose a tin soldier  Melt away in a roar from the past  Tide bringing together the shades  Of a ship from a failed voyage    Their hands are tangled together  Grasping a tin soldier    Paths they have taken  Running barefoot, laughing  Held in their tiny hands  A rabbits foot and a beating heart    Keeping them on their tracks  Without any questions  Directed to head  Towards imminent end    A tears of joy, a tear for blazing sun  Laying peacefully to the ground  Hands reaching towards knees  Closing eyes as they grow tired    A flying star  Like a missile   Over the sky  Landing on the coast    Over a burning heap  Extinguished Next to a tin soldier

about

Sociasylum Tallinn, Estonia

Sociasylum was first established in 2011 as a trio playing fastcore/powerviolence.

In 2021, the latest line-up continues working on new material to follow up previous full-length “Crossroads”. ... more
