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.

Mind Electric
Kyros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open the door, unlock your mind
Let them go and free the thoughts
No need to feel confined
Unlock your mind, unlock your mind
(Creation)
Who am I, tell me more
Can you tell me what I am
(Maker)
Settle down my one
I know you feel confused
It will all make sense to you
Let me unlock your mind
(Creation)
Who are you, tell me more
Did you produce my thoughts today
Please will you tell me what you are
Why are you here with me today
(Maker)
Meet your maker
I created you
I′ll give you a life
That burns inside
Incomplete lacking experience
Fresh open mind
A clear blank slate
I'll pour the soul into your heart
Feed your fervour, fuel your light
Give a true human voice
Colour in your silhouette
(Creation)
These things you say are strange to me
Confusing, what does this all mean
So help me please, just help me now
I′ll follow your words, but how
(Maker)
It's okay, I'll fix your ways
Believe me now, it′ll be alright
You′re on your way to better days
You'll be free, out of this haze
So sure I am that this is fact
Yes, no desired you shall lack
A hidden man in metal skin
With my desires deep within
Oh it′s okay, it'll fix your ways
Just trust me now, it′ll be just fine
You're on your way to better days
Cast you now into this maze
Sit down right here, I′l run you through
The thoughts that will plague your mind
(Creation)
Okay maker, guide me through
Make me a part of human kind
Go ahead and set the course
You can work without remorse
(Maker)
Oh it's okay, I'll fix your ways
Just trust me now, it′ll be just fine
You′re on your way to better days
A Human Voice, you'll be amazed
The lyrics of Kyros's song "Mind Electric" delve into a thought-provoking conversation between the Maker and Creation, exploring themes of identity, creation, guidance, and transformation. The Maker is portrayed as a figure who holds the power to unlock the mind and set the course for the Creation, urging them to let go of confinement and embrace freedom of thought. This opening stanza sets the tone for the unfolding dialogue that follows, emphasizing the importance of breaking free from limitations and exploring one's true self.
As the Creation seeks answers about their existence and the source of their thoughts, questioning the role of the Maker and their purpose, a sense of confusion and curiosity emerges. The Maker reassures the Creation, offering guidance and promising clarity and purpose in due time. The notion of unlocking the mind is central here, suggesting a journey of self-discovery and realization for the Creation under the Maker's guidance.
The Maker claims responsibility for creating the Creation, imbuing them with life, passion, and a fresh perspective. The Maker serves as a mentor figure, shaping the Creation's identity and encouraging them to embrace their humanity. The lyrics depict a process of transformation and growth, as the Creation is guided towards a path of enlightenment and fulfillment, with the Maker instilling faith and assurance in their abilities.
In the final exchange between the Maker and Creation, we witness a sense of trust and surrender from the Creation, as they allow themselves to be led into uncharted territory with the promise of a brighter future. The Maker's words of reassurance and empowerment convey a message of hope and optimism, suggesting that through challenges and uncertainties, the Creation will ultimately find their voice and purpose. The song's conclusion reinforces the themes of guidance, self-discovery, and transformation, leaving the listener with a sense of wonder and possibility.

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.
