The Prophet 04:16
a steady stream of words is coming out of my insatiable and filthy mouth just let me cover up this mad world so deafening, it really calms me down I’m spreading all my voices on earth nothing’s more beautiful than my own sound my wisdom over and over begins to grow because of things that I told you I’m like a god that deafens all mediocre as long as I just talk I don’t hear you suffering have you ever heard my story venerate my wisdom my words in a blaze of glory shut it up and listen and now while the earth keeps turning (and now) I know that people are yearning for anything other than death and misery somebody like me a steady stream of words is coming out of my insatiable and filthy mouth am I the only speaker far and wide am I the only one who’s satisfied it’s soothing the noise freezing over I love when I don’t hear the screams of the soldiers I’m like a god that deafens all mediocre as long as I just talk I don’t hear them suffering I don’t hear you scream have you ever heard my story venerate my wisdom my words in a blaze of glory shut it up and listen and now while the earth keeps turning (and now) I know that people are yearning for anything other than death and misery somebody like me

you could have it all you will never die all you gotta to is cover your eyes I can give you anything I can give you everything eliminate the voice shouting in your mind all you need to do is cover your eyes I can give you anything I can give you everything hide your eyes life-hostile atmosphere and don’t you expose your skin to UV light I swear it’s gonna burn, you better sunbathe from the inside where would go anyway when you could spend your life in a better place protected and provided by a deadly but tender embrace forget about the world outside admit it’s devious and way too alive you could have it all you will never die all you gotta to is cover your eyes I can give you anything I can give you everything eliminate the voice shouting in your mind all you need to do is cover your eyes I can give you anything I can give you everything hide your eyes life-hostile atmosphere and don’t you expose your skin to UV light just terror and misery there I know you’re too afraid, come back inside just let a little device make you feel at home (a better place) we’re gonna make you forget that you’re all alone (a better place) we’ll be the only friend that you’ve ever known you can call me home you can call me home

I can’t see one single thing although my eyes are opened wide I’m probably enchained in here the rope feels much too tight a muted rustle is breaking through the silence a slight scent of a body in the air I breathe and as I’m trying to turn my head he lights a fire and it’s myself looking at me I am afraid where have I gone I’ve got this feeling the machines have won I can’t just say what’s right or wrong I’ll follow my creation from now on I must have lost my memory don’t know how I came here I was augmenting this reality instead I made me disappear I am afraid where have I gone I’ve got this feeling the machines have won I can’t just say what’s right or wrong I’ll follow my creation from now on did I want this world to go under when I knew I was never loved? I still hear them say it’s no wonder that he’s gonna collapse when reality isn’t enough

Ivory Tower 04:07
why am I here so in luck but unfulfilled I’m used to my own cage living in this world I’ve built free from tiresome rage where are you people tell me how could you leave so fast and why am I scared of being lonely millions of years passing by why did I want to be the only man that survives I’ve given you so many reasons I’ve given you more than once chance to follow me into this prison but in the end you won’t listen to me vast and wide this untouched land free from human race sand is running through my hand as I forget my face and why am I scared of being lonely millions of years passing by why did I want to be the only man that survives I’ve given you so many reasons I’ve given you more than once chance to follow me into this prison but in the end you won’t listen to me I never asked anything else from you I never asked anything I’m way to smart and beautiful, it’s true I’m predestined to be your king your father
5.
born to disappear is this where I wanna be a world of envy and fake smiles I’m talking in my sleep I’m caught in this eternal night I don’t remember why I moved here I’m so out of place but I feel the end is near I’m coming home to the willows by the lake where the sun comes up for another day I feel that I’m not alone I’m gonna take this to my grave these memories they can never take never take from me living a life full of distress trying to fit into this plastic game the smell of fame that pulled me into this turned into foul promises in the end shame is this where I wanna be I’m talking in my sleep is this where I wanna be in time you might leave home but home will never leave this isn’t game, it’s not on the screen, it’s not an illusion it’s made by us and human released it long ago the more it is taking over of all of our thoughts and dreams the more I just ask myself whether or not I wanna know about all the money farms, this endless cycle about the misery it caused just to be powered up and while we’re thinking about how to get out of this nightmare we share our thoughts with each other it’s making it more fucked up

about

CHAOSBAY are not allowing themselves a hammock at the beginning of the new year and kickstart 2022 with their new 5-song EP ‘Boxes‘, which already attracted increased attention in advance with the successful singles ‘Lonely People‘ and ‘Y‘. Both songs rose so quickly in the favour of the growing fan community that they are already, just a few weeks after release, the most streamed singles in the band's history. ‘Y‘ even set completely new standards: it is the first track by the band to reach clear six-figure views on Spotify.

The band about the new EP:
"It was unbelievable fun to put the energy that you normally have to spend on a complex concept album into 5 songs in a concentrated way and give them all that power. We think you can hear that in the songs. In addition, we have never looked forward to playing the new tracks live as much as we do now.
Besides, with every new song we feel more what Chaosbay is all about and what our very own sound is. Especially in the early days, you often emulate the sound ideals of your idols. When you reach the point where your own sound has become an unmistakable brand, it's a great feeling. Then you are completely with yourself and have somehow 'arrived'.

Chaosbay have increasingly developed in the direction of progressive metalcore with a lot of melody in recent years. For now, it remains their secret how to celebrate complex songs with such playful ease, combining uncompromising heaviness with compelling hooklines in such a way that each song simultaneously takes you by the hand and throws you to the mat. If they release just a fraction of the energy that went into the studio recordings for ‘Boxes‘, you have to worry about the static of the venues at any upcoming live shows.
