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.

Rumour
Kyros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When shedding skin is all you'd left to do
I roll the dice, slay the light cos it's so bright
And indecision's glowing in my eyes
Voices coming down
Voices shooting now
Your voice is indescribable
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 your 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.
The lyrics of Kyros's song Rumour describe a tumultuous relationship that is haunted by the past. The song is mainly focused on the perspective of the singer pleading with their love interest to stay with them even if it means telling lies and pretending that everything's okay. The opening lines of the song paint a picture of someone knocking on a door with several beatings, possibly implying that they're desperate to get through to the other person. The idea of shedding skin is introduced, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for letting go of the past and starting anew. However, it's clear that this has not been successful as the singer mentions the feelings that have been drowned and the shadows that still haunt them.
The chorus of the song is potent, as the singer begs their love interest to "Tell me lies, tell me lies, Dry your eyes, show the cries and publicize to make you mine." The lines after this point further showcase the desperation and delusion of the singer, who apologizes for ruining every second that they've spent together. The singer refers to the "rumours in the night" and pleads for someone to hear them and not set their love interest free.
Overall, the lyrics of Kyros's song Rumour paint a picture of a troubled relationship, where one person is holding on to the other and trying desperately to keep the flame alive. The fear of losing their love interest is clear, and the singer is willing to do anything to keep them around, even if it means resorting to lies and deceit.

This was my favourite track of 2020.
SUCH a fun, joyful song that should never end. One of my favourite moments of last year was being a part of a verrrry drunk zoom 'dance party' with my friends and dancing away to this one 😂
@skeletankmcgraw7343
It is an amazing mimick of something you would have heard in the 80's, particularly Peter Gabriel.
