Astrablak’s WZRD MMYYKK releases “Escape”

Astrablak’s WZRD MMYYKK releases first single “Escape” from upcoming Trouvaille arriving in mid Oct.

A sonic exploration of the descent from love.  Realizing he has fallen in love with an illusion, MMYYKK finds himself navigating the depths of his emotions.  Escape brings the listener through the final stages of the death of this relationship; denial, anger, sadness, loneliness, acceptance and finally reconciliation with self. 

“I wanted the song to be a little sad, and yet beautiful. Truly as melancholy as the experience of falling out of love.” says MMYYKK.

“I was very intentional about the closing lyrics of this song. Everything is change. 

its important 

to accept that change is inevitable and endings are inevitable. I feel we have to find the beauty in endings, because endings create space for new beginnings.”

I choose to find the beauty in endings, because they create space for new beginnings.” Lyrics [Verse 1] Lost in the waves I'm falling apart No wind in my sails they're tattered and scarred All on my own with what's left of my heart Longing for freedom, freedom to love again This is dissonance, this is the gap and I'm fallin' I'm fallin' In This is the last time This is the first I've noticed These walls are closing in so I'm longing for freedom, freedom to love again [Chorus] I'm searching for an Escape Searching for an escape x3 I'm searching for an Escape Searching for an escape x3 I'm searching for an Escape Searching for an escape x3 and I'm longing for freedom, freedom to love again [Verse 2] I can't see you anymore and I don't know what to do I don't feel you anymore and I don't know what to do about it the flames extinguished and I can't distinguish your energy from friend or enemy so I'm longing for freedom, freedom to love again [Chorus] [Reprise] It's just not the same now everything has changed nothing stays the same forever but I thought we could change together this feels make believe I just can't believe this is real Everything is change © SWAYHEAVYLLC, all rights reserved.
