History
Formation and early years
Cygnosic first appeared as a music act in late 2006 on MySpace.[1] In 2007, the band was discovered by Brandon L. Clark, manager of the Industrial Music Label BLC Productions based in Little Rock, Arkansas. He offered Cygnosic an album deal. During 2008, Georg Psaroudakis recorded his first album with sound engineer Dimitris Douvras of Lunatech Sounds Studio.[citation needed] In early 2009, the debut album A Deity In Pain was released and distributed by Metropolis Records of in North America and by E-Noxe in Europe. After a year, BLC Productions terminated its operations and released its artists from their contracts.[citation needed]

During 2010, Cygnosic started performing electronic concerts around Greece while writing his second album. While samples of the second album were sent to all major Dark Electro/Industrial labels, Cygnosic got rediscovered by Jamie Nova, manager of DWA (Digital World Audio, former Deathwatch Asia), an electronic music label based in Osaka, Japan.[2] After an introductory EP release,[3] the second album titled Fallen was released in 2011.[4]

Later
In 2013, the third studio album titled Fire And Forget was released in two versions, a European one by the German label Black Rain and an international one by DWA.[5] Cygnosic started touring in Russia, United Kingdom and the rest of the Europe to promote the album.

In 2014, Psaroudakis returned to the studio to write his fourth eponymous album, a double album consisting of one electronic set and one metal set. The metal set included metal versions of selected electro tracks picked from his earlier albums. Psaroudakis played the drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals. The electronic set was released prior to the full album version. Orkus magazine printed 62,000 copies in its twentieth anniversary issue.[6] In 2015, an EP titled The Key was released in vinyl.[7] In 2016, after a series of European concerts, the fifth album, Siren, was in process with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. It was released in DigiBook in 2017.[8][9][10]

Miles Away
CygnosiC Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve lived enough
Where egos rose
My eyes are closed
On lust and pose
Inside of me
I feel your weight
I can’t turn back
I’ll just look straight

The time is up
For grudge and greed
Where people stab
For things achieved
Hate is your weapon
That you can bring here to sway
For I will be miles away

And I don’t mind
What people say
I saw my past
To find my way
Over their hate
Above their sins
My purest goal
Straight to my dreams

The time is up
For grudge and greed
Where people stab
For things achieved
Hate is your weapon

That you can bring here to sway
For I will be miles away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Miles Away” by CygnosiC explore themes of self-discovery, leaving behind negativity and toxic behaviors, and striving towards personal goals despite external pressures. The first stanza describes the singer’s distancing from “egos” and “lust and pose,” and focusing instead on their own introspective thoughts where they feel “your weight” – possibly a reference to a presence or influence from someone important in their life. The second stanza develops these themes, urging the listener to let go of “grudge and greed” and “people stab[bing] for things achieved.” The chorus then emphasizes the singer’s resolve to “be miles away” from hate and negativity, determined to pursue their dreams free from external judgment or conflict.

Throughout the song, the lyrics suggest that the singer has learned from past experiences and is now focused on a more positive and productive path. They are not interested in what others may say or think, and are confident that they can maintain a sense of clarity and purpose despite the challenges or negativity they may encounter.

Overall, “Miles Away” is a thoughtful and introspective song that encourages listeners to break away from toxic behaviors, negativity and personal baggage, and to pursue their goals and dreams regardless of external forces.
