progressive and alternative rock music such as Muse and Porcupine Tree.
KYROS (known as Synaesthesia 2012-2015) formed in 2012 in London, England and consists of Shelby Warne on lead vocals and keyboards, Joey Frevola and Sam Higgins on guitar, Peter Episcopo on bass guitar and Robin Johnson on drums. The five piece came together after Shelby was in need of completing the band line up to transition from a solo studio project to a fully fledged performing and writing group.
Although only having existed for a few years, the group has already released a critically acclaimed debut album and a successful limited edition EP. The debut album featured
artwork designed by Freyja Dean, the daughter of legendary album cover artist Roger Dean. Songs from these two releases have received airplay on various radio stations including Team Rock Radio. On top of this, KYROS has performed a number of impressive shows ranging from festival dates in UK, Germany and USA to supporting high profile bands such as Marillion and Anathema. In 2015, the band performed sixteen dates across Europe supporting Spock’s Beard, all with hugely receptive crowds and positive reactions.
KYROS has also gained positive reactions from within the press. They received top spot in the ‘Tip for 2014’ and runner up in the ‘Tip for 2016’ awards from Prog Magazine as well as a nomination for the ‘Limelight’ category within the Progressive Music Awards. Their debut album received critical acclaim from all over the spectrum. The band has attracted interviews and article write-ups from respected journalists such as Malcolm Dome and Rich Wilson. Both gave positive words regarding the debut album and their thoughts on the future and direction of the band. Wilson described the album as being “an exceptional debut from a band who will only improve”.
In Autumn 2016, KYROS will be independently releasing a maxi single entitled ‘Cloudburst’, which is to be shortly followed by a double-album called ‘Vox Humana’. This album will mark the band’s fourth overall release as well as being the band’s second official album release.

Heartstrings
Kyros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was never at the fireside
Always wishing on a soapbox Christmas
Mommy smiling down without her eyes
Running 'round in circles
Pushing out the past
I don't want you she said
Leave this picture fast
Try to comfort your?
Inside
Pull your heartstrings
Try to run from your own demise
You know who you are
Drank the cup with the cracks that spill
Pull your heartstrings
Try to run but you just stand still
You feel your own sweet end
Could you lie here when the steeple crumbles?
Could you swim beneath the steely sea?
Open letter to an absent parent
In the fire with the enemy
Running 'round in circles
Pushing out the past
"I don't want you", she said
Leave this picture fast
Hear your breathing so lightly
Try to comfort your?
Inside
Pull your heartstrings
Try to run from your own demise
You know who you are
Drank the cup with the cracks that spill
Pull your heartstrings
Try to run but you just stand still
Feel your own sweet end
'Round and 'round in circles
Running out of air
Go in endless circles
Burn all the bridges if you dare
Try to comfort your?
Inside
Pull your heartstrings
Try to run from your own demise
You know who you are
Drank the cup with the cracks that spill
Pull your heartstrings
Try to run but you just stand still
Feel your own sweet end
The lyrics of Kyros's song "Heartstrings" are filled with emotions of longing, pain, and a struggle to break free from a difficult past. The song seems to be about a person who never felt a genuine connection with someone important to them, symbolized by the line "He was never into pale reflection." This could suggest that the person never truly understood or felt understood by this individual.
The lyrics also mention the absence of a parental figure, with references to an absent parent and an "Open letter." This absence seems to have left a void and caused the singer to question their own worth, as seen in the line "Running 'round in circles, pushing out the past." They want to escape from this toxic relationship and the pain it brings, as indicated by the line "Pull your heartstrings, try to run from your own demise."
There is a sense of desperation and a realization that running away won't solve everything, as expressed through the line "Try to run but you just stand still, feel your own sweet end." Perhaps the singer is stuck in a cycle of repeating their mistakes, unable to break free from the emotional burden.
Overall, "Heartstrings" explores the struggles of navigating complicated relationships and the desire to find solace and freedom from emotional turmoil.
