his voice reminds me of a young sting in the beginning. just heard this song for the first time yesterday (already listened to their previous albums, just not this one) and I've listened to it over 20 times already.
Guys..this is awesome, I'm an old fart by all terms, I wrote the Poem "Eidolon" many years ago which is why I came here. I'm always trying to beat the kids to good new tunes...this rocks.
I couldn't hide my face to claim my innocence I wouldn't have the sense to keep going on Maybe I'm just too proud to stand in your defense Still I feel the pull of hidden wires I'm never gonna try I lied, I dared to speak my mind When all the old changes made before Don't seem to change a thing at all Are you real? Are you real? I wouldn't find my place with this poor disguise Why can't I face myself without these lies? I couldn't find my path without knowing it I've been round every turn, I know what's left is right I'm never let it die I tried, I dared to free my mind And all the same changes as before Don't seem to change a thing at all I'm never gonna try I know that I won't go back It started with a smile, I know But it won't come back This is real I should have seen it coming 'Cause now I'm feeling nothing I was taken far beneath the middle I should have seen it coming 'Cause now I'm feeling nothing I was taken far beneath the middle I'm never gonna try I know that I won't go back (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing) (I was taken far beneath the middle) It started with a smile, I know (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing) But it won't come back (I was taken far beneath the middle) I'm never gonna try (I should have seen it coming) I know that I won't go back ('cause now I'm feeling nothing, I was taken far beneath the middle) It started with a smile, I know (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing) But it won't come back (I was taken far beneath the middle) I'm never gonna try (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing) I know that I won't go back (I was taken far beneath the middle) It started with a smile, I know (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing) But it won't come back (I was taken far beneath the middle) (real)
Lyrics I couldn't hide my face to claim my innocence I wouldn't have the sense to keep going on Maybe I'm just too proud to stand in your defense Still I feel the pull of hidden wires I'm never gonna draw a line I dared to speak my mind When all your changes made before Don't seem to change a thing at all You need You need I wouldn't find my place with this poor disguise Why can't I face myself without these lies?

There are many references to European mythology throughout the Final Fantasy series. "Eidolon" comes from ancient Greece and is a spirit-image of a living or dead person. "Themata" is the plural of "thema" and is also Greek.
I like the songs themselves. but I don't like the mix of this album in general. compare it to the depth/clarity/balance of the others to see what I mean.
dont get me offensive but i like the the whole song EVEN 2:10 - 2:25 that just made my day but that noise at the end WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THAT CREEPS ME OUT WHETHER ITS A FUCKIN BUG OR THE GUITAR OR A FUCKIN DEMON SOMEONE SHOULD JUST TAKE OUT THAT CREEPY NOISE AT THE END AND LEAVE IT AS THAT
I can't get over how amazing this song is
It's bands like these that make me proud to be Australian! Great song!
I didn't check where they were from... Am quite surprised, yet not. Kudos and yayee to Australia.
Simply just beautifully composed
Such a simple song for them! Really charming in its simplicity. Love seeing this side of them

My mum said the same thing!
my friend just said the same thing. He asked me if it was Sting .
That riff at 2:41 was one of the highlights of their live set last year. Such impact to it. I was also drunk.
schpleeb dirty riff. Sexy riff!
Fun fact: it's just the bass line
Those high notes, Woah.
Great tune, really hearing a hybrid of both his bands in this tune!
Thank you for this...

I couldn't hide my face to claim my innocence
I wouldn't have the sense to keep going on
Maybe I'm just too proud to stand in your defense
Still I feel the pull of hidden wires
I'm never gonna try
I lied, I dared to speak my mind
When all the old changes made before
Don't seem to change a thing at all
Are you real?
Are you real?
I wouldn't find my place with this poor disguise
Why can't I face myself without these lies?
I couldn't find my path without knowing it
I've been round every turn, I know what's left is right
I'm never let it die
I tried, I dared to free my mind
And all the same changes as before
Don't seem to change a thing at all
I'm never gonna try
I know that I won't go back
It started with a smile, I know
But it won't come back
This is real
I should have seen it coming
'Cause now I'm feeling nothing
I was taken far beneath the middle
I should have seen it coming
'Cause now I'm feeling nothing
I was taken far beneath the middle
I'm never gonna try
I know that I won't go back (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing)
(I was taken far beneath the middle)
It started with a smile, I know (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing)
But it won't come back (I was taken far beneath the middle)
I'm never gonna try (I should have seen it coming)
I know that I won't go back ('cause now I'm feeling nothing, I was taken far beneath the middle)
It started with a smile, I know (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing)
But it won't come back (I was taken far beneath the middle)
I'm never gonna try (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing)
I know that I won't go back (I was taken far beneath the middle)
It started with a smile, I know (I should have seen it coming, 'cause now I'm feeling nothing)
But it won't come back (I was taken far beneath the middle)
(real)
So I just discovered this band...mind = blown
Absolute ripper
Themata means something like a gut feeling
Lyrics
I couldn't hide my face to claim my innocence
I wouldn't have the sense to keep going on
Maybe I'm just too proud to stand in your defense
Still I feel the pull of hidden wires
I'm never gonna draw a line
I dared to speak my mind
When all your changes made before
Don't seem to change a thing at all
You need
You need
I wouldn't find my place with this poor disguise
Why can't I face myself without these lies?
I couldn't find my path without knowing it
I've been around every turn
I know what's left is right
I'll never let it die
I tried, I dared to free my mind
And all the same changes as before
Don't seem to change a thing at all
I'm never gonna try
I know that I won't go back
It started with a smile, I know
But it won't come back
This is real!
Should've seen it coming
'Cause now I'm feeling nothing
I was taken far beneath the middle
I'm never gonna try
(Should have seen it coming)
I know that I won't go back
('Cause now I'm feeling nothing
I was taken far beneath the middle)
It started with a smile, I know
(Should have seen it coming
'Cause now I'm feeling nothing)
But it won't come back
(I was taken far beneath the middle)
Are you real
I hope I don't have to remind anyone how fucking epic 2:10 is...
B-E-A-UTIFUL
Transcribing the bass part : done (more or less). Now on to actually learning it...
Reminds me of Yes
doesnt sound like Rishloo at all but both bands have a similar ideology in the ways that words are used. for instance this song Eidolon
Eidolon was a character in the final fantasy series. I think themata is a stylized 'themes'??? I dont know for sure, this is just what I think.

You have the ear . . . a blessing and a curse, my friend. I couldn't agree more!
dont get me offensive but i like the the whole song EVEN 2:10 - 2:25 that just made my day but that noise at the end WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THAT CREEPS ME OUT WHETHER ITS A FUCKIN BUG OR THE GUITAR OR A FUCKIN DEMON SOMEONE SHOULD JUST TAKE OUT THAT CREEPY NOISE AT THE END AND LEAVE IT AS THAT
Ultimate SSJX it's really not that creepy. It's just a noise
Great. Fucking. Song.
what's up with all those greek words? themata, eidolon etc
amanita could be Final Fantasy references
@@JCDenton95 it's not a final fantasy reference you idiot
