1.
Eye Embrace 05:06
Is this weight The shadow Of my predetermined fate? The weight of time This weight of me The weight of forgotten dreams Shall I be sewn into the fibers of now? To exist & ponder how? Through the light I’ll become one with the I & embrace the truest form whom is Eye
2.
A seed was I? Buried deep inside The womb of the worlds eye Granting me the will to live or die We’re thrown into this world To see as we come and go We rise up from this human soil To ask, “A seed will we become? A seed was I?”
3.
Roam these lands Roam these seas All to find this bigger vision we all seek Are we meant to leave this place With no real answer to retain? I wonder if The answer lies inside Of this human mind We’re in fear of our daily lives Too scared to live, too scared to die Never to retain the truth that remains hidden within us When we meet on the other side (Does a seed become the eye?)
4.
The facade of greatness Hands you the veil And takes your hand You’re lead down the golden trail A world is revealed It’s plastic and insincere You wonder where to go from here Where can you hide away from the current dismay in this artificial world? We pawn our souls In a world misguided by the invisible hands of false control Burn the veil Let us break the chains from this false domain We’ll march away To find a new way Let’s shed this facade of greatness
5.
Searching through these tunnels of light to find the correct direction in sight Where I can reside and take on a shadow to wear though time in this new life I’ve claimed as mine Watching the forces that make up this world I chase the dreams sleep granted me Have I lost my direction? A senseless search for unattainable dreams. Now I’m alone in the darkness reaching for a hand that was never there
6.
The bark within you is marked with the glowing ancient scars of your soul You find this empty space a void you need to fill you need to nurture and cradle like the child you once were resting in this womb longing for the world Now there’s a loss you feel There’s a void you need to fill We long for the ancient rest within the eternal womb ‘Return to this womb. Rest here my child.”
7.
You Exist 07:41
You exist through these pixelated memories of a past self that you just can’t seem to find. In the corridors of my heart, Questions are lingering Oh how they grow So I ask the wind where do we go after here? Shall I pertain? (oh life’s just a game) Shall I fear? (oh its so senseless my dear) Do I exist? (oh you exist) Am I exempt? (oh no you’re the x on the grid) What happens after here? (You don’t exist) But I do. I do. I do . Oh I exist. Is this a cycle I choose to repeat? Is this never-ending? ‘No such answers obtained.’

about

A Seed Was I? is a highly conceptualized album that touches on the subjects of human transformation, ancient questions of our existence and attempting to find a higher realm of thought through music.

A Seed Was I? is an album where I learned to use music as a tool for pure expression. I took a deep glimpse into myself, to see the deep ancient scars that lie in the inner bark. I pondered ancient questions of our existence and attempted to capture the revelations I was having about self and the universe it exists within.

We’re constantly growing and evolving as humans, we begin as a seed, and sprout from this human soil to grow into our selves but we are in constant transition mentally, physically and spiritually. This album started with the question, “A Seed Was I?”

When I originally completed this album, I had expectations as to where it should end up, who should be validating it and concerned with it’s status. My ego was the controller and kept it locked away until it had some “result” until I realized music is timeless and priceless. When you connect a certain value to what you’re creating it takes away it’s wholeness and sacredness.

Today, I am letting it go, with no attachments, no expectations, just simply pushing it out into the world and moving on with my emotional growth as a human being. I hope this album helps you as much as it helped me to create it.

Sincerely,
Soul Glimpse
