The group was established in 2004 by six young guys who wanted to play a different type of music than what was already around, as they believed music should be heavy and technical, yet full of innovations and unexpected moments.
Shortly after the foundation of this band, the first demo was released. Called "Lost Life", this record received a positive response from the metal scene. After releasing this first record, Abstract Essence began to perform live concerts regularly, performing the songs from the aforementioned demo.
2 and half years later, the band entered the recording studio again, this time to record their first official full-length CD called "Aftermath". The record was released by the label "Lava Production" in Brno. Presently, the group is set to play a series of concerts in the hopes of presenting their music to everyone interested in heavy, melodic music full of energy and innovations.
Harmony
Abstract Essence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are no altars you could sacrifice on
Saint miracles are gone cause of living
All your prayers for material
World, you say words
Give me money, give me the fame
Why should you get
´cause we want to. We just want to
trust
Television industry preaches your needs
Priest paparazzi creates object of lust
What is exactly that power that feeds
My daily activity´s vacation for you
Champion in ability what is true
I do great everything, I choose to try
I can persuade crowds by blink one´s eye
I´ll get everything I wanna, finish everything
I start
Tune of my voice bonds any woman´s heart
Just because of me are roads rebuilt to lead
straight
I represent your love I represent your hate
Harmony
Earth integrity strength of desire
Human stupidity reward for liar
Appearance of chaos world order prosperity
Swallogin despair rising intensity
More wishes request
Give me money, give me the fame
Why to hold back pain
´cause we want to, we just want to
Envious society standart of success
Degradation institution moral progress
Law highly regarded permanent greed
Compilation transformation opening
Bleed
Poor creatures
I am everything
I am your dream
Dreaming
No life without me
No despair without me
No, no, not at all
The lyrics to the song "Harmony" by Abstract Essence explore the dangers of our society's obsession with money, fame, and power. The first verse speaks to the idea that there are no longer any gods or miracles because we are focused solely on material possessions. Rather than seeking higher powers or spiritual enlightenment, we now worship money and fame. We are urged to question who benefits from this obsession and who has the power to feed our desires.
The second verse features the singer discussing their own abilities to manipulate crowds, persuade women, and achieve their goals. They are representative of the larger societal desire for power and success. The chorus of the song speaks to the idea that this obsession with material possessions has created disharmony in our world. Instead of valuing integrity, kindness, and love, we prioritize greed, envy, and degradation.
Overall, the lyrics to "Harmony" by Abstract Essence are a call to action to re-examine our values and priorities in order to create a more harmonious world.
