DRIFT AWAY (ft. Δ∙Ʀ∙Q∙ Luiz★Felip≡)
Progressive art metal inspired-Tool and Karnivool. Long-form 8–12 min piece in multiple movements, deep spiritual and psychedelic atmosphere. Starts with reversed ambient guitars, heartbeat bass pulses, tribal percussion and distant vocal fragments. Shifts through 7/8, 5/4, 9/8, and 6/8 meters. Spoken word, meditative verses, layered falsetto vocals, emotional build-ups. Dense polyrhythms, wah bass grooves, reversed delays, feedback, AM static, and talk box guitar textures. Vocals used also as texture: grunts, whispers, chants. Rain and slide guitar interlude. Smooth ambient crossfades link sections. Final climax unifies all elements with ritualistic force. Cinematic, immersive, and dynamic. Mastering: emphasize spatial depth, stereo imaging, and analog warmth with focused midrange, deep lows, and softened highs.

Lyrics
This song came from a conversation we had. ARQ shared these lyrics with me and I saw their potential right away. It’s always a big responsibility to take someone’s thoughts and feelings and turn them into music, and I did my best to bring his imagination to life. I hope you enjoy the result. It’s a pleasure working with such a brilliant artist.
Check out the amazing work this guy does.

✦ DRIFT AWAY ✦
In an endless loop
Nowhere to run
I gotta let it out
Is it worth the trip
When it gets this loud?
My eyes are heavy
Can’t escape
Can’t catch a break
Everything gets to me
Way too easily
Too many thoughts
can’t slow them down
ohhh
drift away
to come back ’round,
just to come back around
come back around
Sometimes I still believe
I’ll find a little quiet...
Somewhere
Oh
Somewhere
in the chaos
to remember who I am
Too many thoughts
still chasing me down
I drift far away
just to come back ’round,
just to come back around
I keep coming ’round
ohh… I drift away
ohh… I drift away
