The concept behind FRAKTIONS new EP 'Anguish' is about the final chapter of a schizophrenic woman's life. Our protagonist, Sarah, suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, meaning she experiences aural hallucinations for most hours of the day if she does not take her prescribed medication. The compositional aim is to transport the listener into the frantic and unpredictable mind of someone with schizophrenia.

Lyics:-
I confess to the ocean, a monumental epiphany.
A dark premonition my mind could not escape.
Get this insect out my head. Wiring malfunction.
Nothing more than damaged goods. My conscience fluctuates.
Fight it, we can always fight it back
But there will come a time, when everything else shatters
On a knife’s edge we will sway. One will betray.
Who will evade? Escape to the shade.
When will I crumble into pieces. Is it inevitable?
Both live in fear of their counterpart.
Are we deadlocked forever or is collapse inescapable?
Follow your heart, never your vile instinct.
Cling to all inner tranquility.
Reject the control of the depraved. Who have I become?
I can’t be saved.
Pull me out of this trench, I’ve dug for myself.
What is the difference between drowning and sinking?
So many lost pieces of a jigsaw I’m trying to build.
No end in sight, no hope for flight.
A broken mind of guilt.
There’s an insect in my head, pulling the strings.
I’m a ticking time-bomb, floating to the edge.
Suffocation, asphyxiation. The final salvation.
But if I can arise from this struggle I can do anything.
React, Evolve.
Collide, Betray.
Destroy.
Follow your heart but never your vile instinct.
Cling to all inner tranquility.
Reject the control of the depraved. Who have I become?
I can’t be saved.
This is the moment of collapse.
"The Difference Between Drowning And Sinking" is the final song from our EP 'Anguish', released August 2016. Anguish is a concept EP about the struggles of a schizophrenic protagonist called Sarah. 'TDBDAS' is the final chapter of this struggle, where Sarah is overcome by the darkness and negative forces within her. She ultimately decides to drown herself in the water, however at the last moment she regrets her decision, but it is too late and she lifelessly sinks to the bottom.
We wanted to think a little outside the box for this video - something visually different, interesting and potentially disturbing. This is why all of the band shots are extremely dark and almost other worldly. Although unconventional, we wanted them to evoke a feeling of abnormality and discomfort, much the same way as Sarah feels about herself.
We felt the narrative was best interpreted through the medium of dance due to our protagonists intense internal struggles. These shots are also extremely dark, almost shadow-like, with Sarah feeling like a shadow of her true self. At the end we see her disappear looking out to the water, as the light in Sarah is eventually defeated by the dark.
You guys gotta pin this comment so everyone see it. Quite important considering how unconventional it is like you say. Great job on the video btw.
Pinned - thanks for the heads up!
