Guitars meander and sparkle while Jen's angel-siren vocals pour out emotion into beautiful layers.

Half of the album was mixed by Shimmy Disc's Kramer, the other half by Elysium, an unearthly sound... reminiscent of the famed Cocteau Twins that we all know and love. Jenny Adams provides the vocals with a range that simply makes our temples throb... floating somewhere between the stratosphear and hemishpere, finding ballast in a chord, a voice, a word.

Together As One
Elysium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes sewn and mouth shut
Silent majority
Control corrupted web
Vegetative survival
Reduced to slow & sickening
The voice unheard
We stand together as one
Build upon the filth
The throne of our tyranny
All lies - hateful propaganda
Selective immunity
Priviliged political pigs
Govement tentacles
Dominate, inflirtrate
Elected officials regime
Vindicate, humilate
Resolution 666
The code that forever remains
The colour is red
Our hearts broken
Torn peace and will to burn
Shoulder to shoulder
Sneaking conspiracy
Extinct democracy
Death to freedom of speech
Illegal human rights
We bleed together as one
We the free people
Swear to destabilize
Back to square one
Revolution on purpose
Conspiracy underworld
We vote the disconnect
Can't you see
We burn together as one
Together as one
The lyrics of "Together As One" by Elysium [Godfather-2005] comment on the flaws, challenges, and corruption within political systems. The song portrays society as a victim of government control and propaganda, where the people's voices and rights are suppressed. The poetic and metaphorical language of the lyrics conveys the idea that people feel chained, silenced, and defeated in the face of the powerful establishment.
The initial lines "Our hands are tied, Eyes sewn, and mouth shut" imply the lack of freedom of expression and the inability of the people to challenge the authority. The phrase "silent majority" highlights the reality of how people never voice their opinions against the establishment. The phrase, "Control corrupted web, vegetative survival, reduced to slow & sickening," highlights the corruption within the system that actively suppresses the public's power, gradually stripping them of any autonomy, and forcing them into a position of sheer survival without being able to fight for their dignity and rights. Yet, despite these conditions, the theme of solidarity prevails in the lyrics as it aims to encourage the people to stand "together as one" without judgment.
