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.

Her Song is Mine
Kyros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With haunting eyes and jet black hair
That's almost as dark as that joke you told
About those violinists who are getting old
One day you sang a Song
And my ear sang along
I wish my voice could do the same
The years flew on by
The Song a fading flame
A lie?
A gentle heart, a smile that breaks the lull
A fleeting art I don't deserve to hold
Do you know I'm here?
Have I crossed your mind?
Would you hear a song of mine?
A song I made for you
She's talking through her teeth
And laughing nervously
Should I not have come?
Maybe it was wrong to wait and see
But then we'd talk and talk
You'd come in without a knock
Intimate and sure and true
Is it enough?
Can we see it through
I knew
Why'd you drift away?
I don't know what to say
I wish that you would stay
What did I see in her anyway?
Her Song completely fades
Living apart, I fight to shake my dull
Hardened heart, a piece to make the whole
It's no longer here
It's escaped my mind
Her old Song I cannot find
Hard to part, indifference takes a toll
I've found a start, appropriate the hole
Take the blood and tears
Mental strings entwine
Suddenly her Song is mine
Now that Song is mine.
Kyros's song "Her Song is Mine" is a heartbreaking reflection on the ephemeral nature of relationships and the pain of holding onto memories of a past love. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about a girl with whom he once shared a connection. Her striking appearance and wit are emphasized, before the song shifts to a memory of her singing, and how the singer wished his voice could have joined hers. However, as time goes by, the memory of that song and their time together fades, leaving the singer to wonder if the past was all a lie.
The song's second verse marks a shift in tone, as the singer wonders if the girl from his past has thought of him, and if she would hear a song he wrote for her. However, as he contemplates reaching out to her, he begins to question his decision and wonders if it was a mistake. The relationship starts to become clouded by doubt and disconnection, with the singer struggling to understand why they drifted apart and what he ever saw in her. As the song progresses, the singer realizes that the memories of their past are slipping away, leaving him with only the song that he wished he could have sung with her.
Line by Line Meaning
I remember you were sitting there
I recall your presence clearly in my mind
With haunting eyes and jet black hair
Your striking eyes and dark hair left an indelible impression on me
That's almost as dark as that joke you told
Your hair is so dark that it almost matches the dark humor of the joke you shared
About those violinists who are getting old
You shared a witty joke about aging musicians that I found amusing
One day you sang a Song
I have a vivid memory of the day you sang a particular song
And my ear sang along
Your song resonated deeply with me and I found myself singing along
I wish my voice could do the same
I wished that I had the same ability to sing your song with the same beauty and emotion
The years flew on by
Time passed quickly
The Song a fading flame
The memory of your song began to fade with time
A lie?
I questioned whether my recollection of your song was even true
A gentle heart, a smile that breaks the lull
You had a gentle heart and a smile that could brighten anyone's day
A fleeting art I don't deserve to hold
Your beauty and grace is something that I don't feel worthy to possess
Do you know I'm here?
I wonder if you are aware of my existence
Have I crossed your mind?
I hope that you have thought of me at least once
Would you hear a song of mine?
I would like to know if you would be willing to listen to a song that I wrote
A song I made for you
The song that I wrote was created with you in mind
She's talking through her teeth
The person I am with is lying to me
And laughing nervously
They are trying to cover up their deceit with forced laughter
Should I not have come?
I am questioning whether it was a good idea to meet with this person
Maybe it was wrong to wait and see
I am second-guessing my decision to give this person another chance
But then we'd talk and talk
Despite my doubts, we ended up having a deep conversation
You'd come in without a knock
You surprised me by showing up unannounced
Intimate and sure and true
Our conversation felt familiar and genuine
Is it enough?
I am unsure if the connection we once had is still strong enough
Can we see it through
I am wondering if we can maintain this level of intimacy
I knew
Despite my doubts, I know that I still have feelings for you
Why'd you drift away?
I am confused as to why you drifted out of my life
I don't know what to say
I am at a loss for words to express my feelings about your absence
I wish that you would stay
I desperately want you to come back into my life
What did I see in her anyway?
I am struggling to remember why I was ever attracted to the person I am currently with
Her Song completely fades
The memory of the song you sang to me has faded completely
Living apart, I fight to shake my dull hardened heart
Since we have been apart, I have been trying to overcome my jaded and unfeeling heart
A piece to make the whole
Your memory is a missing piece of my heart that I need to feel whole once again
It's no longer here
The memory of your warmth and light is not present in my life anymore
It's escaped my mind
I cannot recall the details of our past that made me feel so happy with you
Hard to part, indifference takes a toll
It was difficult for us to part ways, and now I feel the emotional burden of staying indifferent to your memory
I've found a start, appropriate the hole
I have found a way to fill the void left by your absence with new experiences that help me move on
Take the blood and tears
I am willing to sacrifice my own emotional pain in order to move forward
Mental strings entwine
My mind is still entangled with the memories of our time together
Suddenly her Song is mine
Despite everything, the memory of the song you sang to me comes back to me in a moment of clarity
Now that Song is mine.
I have regained the memory and the feelings that came with the song you sang to me, and they are now a part of me again

smoflope
on Rumour
You're on the lane, several beatings down the door
When shedding skin is all you'd left to do
I roll the dice, slay the light cause it's so bright
And indecision's glowing in my eyes
Voices coming down
Voices shooting now
Your voice is indescribable
Your bullets of a triggered gun right in my brain
Reminders of the feelings that you've drowned
And the shadows, drenching memories bring you down
No wonder failure's what you've found
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Dry your eyes, show the cries and publicise to make you mine
I'll apologise, otherwise you'll realise
How I've ruined every second that we've memorised
Rumours in the night, can someone hear me?
Rumours in the night, don't ever set her free
And now you're mine, you're an anchor man, an owner of
Is this skin trade ever growing out of line?
My love and patience grows so deep, you intruder in my mind
Soul collapse inside
Voices coming down
Voices shooting now
Your voice is indescribable
Your bullets of a triggered gun right in my brain
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Dry your eyes, show the cries
Oh recognise that you are mine
I'll apologise, otherwise you'll realise
How I've messed up every second that we've memorised
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Outsized to compromise and if I ever had to realise
Don't be long, carry on
Reminders of the feelings that you've drowned
And the shadows, drenching memories bring you down
As all the tears run dry upon your face
After climbing through the tangled torn-out lace
Tell me lies, tell me lies
Dry your eyes, show the cries
Oh recognise that you are mine
I'll apologise, otherwise you'll realise
How I've wasted every second that we've memorised
Rumours in the night, can someone hear me?
Rumours in the night, don't ever set her free.
