Ultrasonic 03:58
Welcome to this new mindset we've launched into. They can't break us down. We own this blown out sound. We've started over. Stop. Play. Rewind. Fast-Forward. This can't be undone. Time lapse it in slow motion. We're back on track. All systems restored. Press pause. Hit record. Reclaim what's yours. Stop. Play. Rewind. Fast-Forward. Ease back into this. Make sure that we don't miss. They can't stop us now. We've made our way somehow. We've started over. Stop. Play. Rewind. Fast-Forward. This can't be undone. Time lapse it in slow motion. We're back on track. All systems restored. Press pause. Hit record. Reclaim what's yours. Stop. Play. Rewind. Fast-Forward. Reclaim what's yours.

Overdue 03:35
It's been a year and this is overdue. We've stayed sincere while you've been stuck inside denial. Your stratosphere has weakened. We'll resume departure soon. Blue skies appear as we shoot down the stars above us one by one. This could be worse than it seems. Maybe that's what you wanted. We don't need them to believe. You can't stop what we started. Fake what you can to make it disappear. You've let the world around you think that you're the victim. We never planned on this to take us here; That much is clear. Mission control has lost our last communications. Tune us out. This could be worse than it seems. Maybe that's what you wanted. We don't need them to believe. You can't stop what we started.

Motionless 03:36
It's not too late to turn this around. Detach, retract and be still. We're lost in space. We haven't burnt out. Relax; backtrack and rebuild. We've disconnected. We can't move. We're motionless. Will this end soon? It's time to rediscover ourselves and take another chance. We can't let this erase us. We're completely incomplete. It's not too late to turn this around. Detach, retract and be still. We're lost in space. We haven't burnt out. Relax; backtrack and rebuild. We lack attraction. We've turned down these mixed emotions. Mute our sound. Revise as we recover. Realize this isn't over yet. We'll make mistakes, we're human. Can't you see we're meant to be? It's not too late to turn this around. Detach, retract and be still. We're lost in space. We haven't burnt out. Relax; backtrack and rebuild.

Reconnect 03:53
Close your eyes. Pretend that this is almost over. Improvise; We've tried this once without much closure. Move in closer. Take it slower now. When we take time to ourselves and connect with no one else, we can see with clarity. Analyze what all this means. Wasted time has held us back but we've recovered. Leave behind the past mistakes we've rediscovered. You seem unsure. Make your mind up now. When we take time to ourselves and connect with no one else, we can see with clarity. Analyze what all this means. We've recovered. Makes you wonder how. You seem unsure. Make your mind up now. When we take time to ourselves and connect with no one else, we can see with clarity. Analyze what all this means. Close your eyes. Pretend that this is almost over.

Deceiver 03:43
You've had one chance to come clean. We knew that this couldn't last. Prove it's not quite what it seems. Relinquish what's in the past. We can't be too overly selective with your undetected lies, but we need to keep this in perspective, disconnect and leave you behind. It's hard to think we'll be ok. You know that we can't be the same. In part we've made this our mistake. You're alone with no one to blame. Wait to expose what's been said. We've tried to show some restraint. Make up excuses instead. Realize it's all such a waste. We can't be too overly selective with your undetected lies, but we need to keep this in perspective, disconnect and leave you behind. It's hard to think we'll be ok. You know that we can't be the same. In part we've made this our mistake. You're alone with no one to blame. We're sorry this had to end. Your story was written while you played pretend... and we need to keep it in perspective, disconnect and leave you... It's hard to think we'll be ok. You know that we can't be the same. In part we've made this our mistake. You're alone with no one to blame.

Polaris-385 03:35
These doubts that we've held onto will disappear with you. This rocket has been broken down; Its boosters could burn soon. We have a mission to do. Don't panic. We'll work it out. We're not done yet, our time is now. Abandon the plans we had and take a chance on what we have. Your drowned out sound surrounds us. Our vision has improved with you. We've blocked out what we can't explain so no one can remove the hope that we hold onto. Don't panic. We'll work it out. We're not done yet, our time is now. Abandon the plans we had and take a chance on what we have.

Transmitter 03:43
We sense when you are near. We've never heard it this clear. An open mind leaves doubt behind. This truth is one we can't override. When we transmit, will you receive us? We're on stand-by. Restart and wonder why we've been dismissed. No one believes us. It's time we tried to prove that you exist. You're quite the mystery. We're not sure where this could lead. Hope can be blind and intertwined with what you've shown in all that you hide. When we transmit, will you receive us? We're on stand-by. Restart and wonder why we've been dismissed. No one believes us. It's time we tried to prove that you exist.

Alienated 03:22
Re-send this transmission. We've been patient. Please respond. Keep it like a secret. We could see this come to be. What can we do to convince you this cannot be reality? Destroy the truth you think we knew and cover these conspiracies. We've let systems reset. We can't leave yet. Wait this out. Recent hints that we've sent seem to prevent what we need. What can we do to convince you this cannot be reality? Destroy the truth you think we knew and cover these conspiracies. Re-send this transmission. We've been patient. Please respond.

Earthless 04:10
Put this out as we watch it burn. Faced with doubt; Now the tide has turned. We all choose separate paths to take. Please excuse each adverse decision that we've made. We can't do this to ourselves. Fix what's come undone. Dream it true with no one else. This is what we want. Power down. We've lost all control. Now we're bound to this earthless hold. Beam us up so to be with you. We could shut out the world and not care what they do. We can't do this to ourselves. Fix what's come undone. Dream it true with no one else. This is what we want.
10.
Sleepwalk 04:32
No matter how hard we try, we slip and slide into hibernation. We've seen the end; It's in view. We haven't told anyone but you. We hide behind what's implied and disconnect miscommunication. We've made our mark. We've been true. There's really not much else we can do. Daydream without me. Sleepwalk alone, lost within this realm unknown. Maybe we would be best on our own, locked inside subconscious code, lost and alone. Rewind and step back in time. You can't deny the static in our station. It's clear that you quit too soon. We've wilted, but did we ever bloom? The lie that we lived inside has disappeared with this medication. It's never too late to lose the love you hate. We've become immune. Daydream without me. Sleepwalk alone, lost within this realm unknown. Maybe we would be best on our own, locked inside subconscious code, lost and alone. Your sci-fi lullaby has been played one last time. We'll leave it unexplained so when you wake up, questions remain. Daydream without me. Sleepwalk alone, lost within this realm unknown. Maybe we would be best on our own, locked inside subconscious code, lost and alone.

about

Anakin San Diego, California

Anakin came into existence in 2010 and their mission was clear; to create an auditory atmosphere that captured the principal musical elements which ultimately inspired them to become musicians. Fuzzy, melodic, spaced-out, heavy and honest can all be used to describe the band’s unique sound, but it’s their ability to capture simplicity without devaluation that truly makes this machine operational. ... more
