Oscillation 03:56
Initiation from conclusion Can you feel the energy? Heat and cold, life and death It breeds disparity And with disparity comes change Shifting and pulling Ebbing and flowing Witness all the chemistry And as it radiates in waves One day you’ll find It drifting in time Back to where it starts The order of our universe As fire burns and fades New life sprouts in its wake Wake And though everything will change The cycle shall remain the same Backwards and forwards Backwards and forwards Everything begins again Backwards and forwards Never to settle The oscillation

Nectar 08:01
Primal instinct Downcast yearning Built in synchronicity this Hunger growing, ever slowly Eyes dilated, stifled judgement Mutual depraved arrangement In my nauseous state I Iust for you My perfect truth By my humble misplaced faith in you I won’t be consumed Oh, won’t you please tell me that I’ve a place inside your mind? No I can’t be left behind And while I wait for you I Scream into the emptiness As I’m made to burn like this For I should know I’m just a Thing for you with which to play Your tempting flower draws me Closer still, it’s such a waste All this strain for just one taste Taste of your nectar Enter unexpected presence Step aside in quiet acceptance Told me I won’t be abandoned You just have to see where this ends O’er and over Vacillating In this agonizing pattern I am giving Up on you all I need’s to know It was real Reeling Left with no control Only hollowness By your selfishness In your devious Narcissistic way Sapped my sanity Just to feed your sick Ego Absent Forsaken and lost Seek benevolence But there’s nothing left ‘Cause you used me up For attention then Played the victim when All I wanted was Closure This fell entranced state of mind And while I wait for you I Scream into the emptiness As I’m made to burn like this Your tempting flower draws me Closer still, it’s such a waste All this strain for just one taste Taste of your nectar Distant conceit Callous apathy Now with how you’ve sown division You will not find absolution Once we had a shard of kinship By your hand you’ve torn it down

Sisyphus 05:24
Please Just let me take control I’m feeling far from whole In this Sisyphean false existence Give me One chance to take control I’ll do away with all This awful weight that I’ve been pushing Wake Suddenly Open my Hollowed eyes Light through the blinds It sickens me Another day with no Aim of mind Requisite Transience And desperate Weariness Reprise, remiss Resign, unconsciously in anguish And at night I dream of purpose Please Just let me take control I’m feeling far from whole In this Sisyphean false existence Give me One chance to take control I’ll do away with all This awful weight that I’ve been pushing All part of this process I’ll do it again Delusive and ceaseless I’ll do it again Reprise (reprise), remiss (remiss) Resign, unconsciously in anguish And though still I try You know nothing changes And at night I dream of purpose Just let me take control I’m feeling far from whole In this Sisyphean false existence Give me One chance to take control I’ll do away with all This awful weight that I’ve been pushing Fight Until I take control And liberate my soul I’m doing all I can

So displaced Dreaming I See your face In my mind Vast dimensions apart So entwined, yet so far Reach with me Across our respective worlds Pull with me And we’ll keep our link preserved Reach with me Across our respective worlds Pull with me And we’ll keep our link preserved Through dust and echoes and dark You’ll be safe in my arms If you keep me in your heart Then I’ll be safe in your arms Until my journey takes me back And our projections must retract Cherish this bliss and contentment And hold it close ‘till I Reach for you again Feel, now and then Us grow faint and distant Though I strain, I cannot Feel your soul or your heart Just echoes and dust Just echoes and dust Echoes and dust Reach with me Pull with me Reach with me Until my journey takes me back And our projections must retract Cherish this bliss and contentment And hold it close ‘till I Reach for you again

Don’t you know your Punishment is an Unconscious limit to Understanding of your black affliction Immolation for your self-defeat Isolate dereliction Now see how you’ve been misled Taken by the conversation within your head Same decisions, same mistakes Slip into the definition of insanity I’ve fought enough to keep you out Don’t peek to see what’s behind that door Skin crawling, tremors in my fingers I’m not sure I can resist you anymore Shame Of no consequence Of no consequence Just let me take this Nostrum For your delusion That you might be clever The antiserum This fell entranced state of mind Fell to my weakness Every step that I’ve been taking Halted and denied Shattered in pieces Watching as my state of mind It ruptures from inside Drawn and laid bare Bathe in your sorrow Your psychogenic trapped-ness Dust and despair All that will follow Your suffering is meaningless Just go away Just go away Just go away Now see how you’ve been misled Taken by the conversation within your head Same decisions, same mistakes Slip into the definition of insanity I am your diffidence I am your ambivalence I am your wretchedness You will bow to me

And nothing ever changed The cycle is the same Backwards, forwards Backwards, forwards Everything will die again Backwards, forwards Never settle Oscillate

about

The debut offering from Of Kairos, Oscillation delves into the phenomena of the human condition and the nature of our universe. As the album unfolds, Of Kairos revisits past experiences, reflecting on various states of the mind while working through deeply seeded emotions. While traversing the serene and calm, the use of atmospheric soundscapes promises moments of clarity and a bright vision of the way forward. When forced from equilibrium, crushing visceral passages are used as a medium for the constant inertia of consciousness. Oscillation tells of the journey from cycles of abusive relationships and self destructive behaviours, to
opportune chapters of good fortune and growth.

Oscillation is driven by spirited, heart-felt vocals and lyrical ideas by Eric Murphy that lapse through feelings of anguish and a yearning to progress beyond disillusionment. The momentum crafted by Mark Wylie keeps the album in fluctuating states of rising harmonic tensions, time suspending motions and interwoven melodic textures.
