    Lyrics:
    Tame our addictions,
    Keep us accustomed to this constant need of becoming someone,
    Feed our ego and make us self-centered suns of a selfish world.
    Lead us to the loss of selfhood,
    We’ll behave like fucking mirrors in these crowded rooms.
    Make us the reflection of our thirst to consume
    And let us drown.
    Caught in the shimmer of a misleading world this life becomes mirage
    And strays at the surface like unable to die,
    Forever captive of our eyes.
    We gaze at the world,
    Our souls as deep as a gaping gulf,
    Covetous of what might be lying elsewhere.
    We worship the feeling born from the whims of a vivid dream and the love of our barren hearts,
    We seek ourselves on a fucking sea of screen.
    Fed of fictions,
    Growing dim,
    Damned to lose ourselves in a maze of lies and mirrors.
    Fed of fictions, growing dim,
    Keeping our eyes shut, facing our own end…
    …We still believe we’ll be saved.
    Caught in the shimmer of a misleading world this life becomes mirage
    And strays at the surface like unable to die,
    Forever captive of our eyes.

    Novelists doesn't write music, they paint a beautiful portrait with the softer introduction, incorporate a blend of heaviness and melody with the screams, then those cleans and the rhythm section kick in and it's like you are now apart of the painting

    I really hope the new album sticks with the heavier version of Novelists. I really liked “Noir”, but it just didn’t impact me like “Souvenirs” did. So, this track is very exciting to hear! Really looking forward to the new album now!

    • @levilively8643

      Noir showed off mateos vocals. Souvenirs showed off their skills as a band. I hope they incorporate both. Because monochrome is one of absolute all time favorite songs. No matter the band. Also lu apel divide or however the hell you spell it. Lol.

      @@jacobantony1040 I grew up in the 80s. At 50 years old, I truly believe that this is the Golden Age of Metal. So much range, so much to choose from, so many different perspectives on what metal means, what it should sound like. I've never heard a band in my life that I have enjoyed as much as Novelists, and I grew up on a steady diet of Rush, Metallica, Maiden, Slayer, Testament, and other assorted minor bands.
      These guys do it right. From the ambiance to the epic scale of their recordings, they nail it on every count. And there's that guitar... In comes Florestan. The guy is a genius, pure and simple.

    This reminds me of the demo so many years ago, I've missed this sounds, I've always love your music, but this just sounds like you combined all the styles and its absolutely blissful, I look forward to the next album
