about

The original track 'Reflections Perceptions' was an 8 minute epic that closed out Antiskeptic's debut album Memoirs of a Common Man. Perhaps what made it so special for people was the unlikely uplifting emotion, musical scope and length of the song ..or.. maybe it was the 6/8 instrumental break and post-rock leanings which emerged to much greater extent on later releases.

Regardless of the reasons, we've done away with all of that.
This is Dark Antiskeptic performing in the style of Tool.
Tool: A once in a generation anomaly. A mind splintering, perception shattering, patience challenging artist.

'Inflections Deceptions' teases and builds, twists and turns in on itself to collapse in a heap at just over the 4 minute mark.
To add to the fun, Simeon from NSW prog-lords 'SEIMS' joined in with some considerably tasty synthy-ambient-bass parts adding even greater dimension and texture to the already ambitious work.

Enjoy.

lyrics

Here, now in winter im looking forward to spring.
It's cold here and damp there, i want some sunlight on my skin
Cos I don't want to be here, im not coping with the pace
I hate the distance between the future and this place

For as long as I can remember now
I have been living for tomorrow and not for now
Cos I don't want to be here,
No I'd just prefer to leave
I want to, try a new lifestyle that will please

Resistance makes me weak
Persistence makes me strong
You are strong and I am weak.
I am weak.

I said that hate this place
Never wanted to be here
I said that i want to leave
I said that i want to leave

Resistance makes me weak
