To sum it up: We love metal. Some of our favorite bands are In Flames, Soilwork, Disarmonia Mundi, and Dark Tranquility to name a few. We write our music to sound like the music we love, and as I’m sure you can tell, those bands are some that we are clearly influenced by. We are not trying to be “ground-breaking” or “the next big thing”. We write and play metal we enjoy. Hopefully you will enjoy it too. If not, then maybe next album.
We both also might be part vampire. We have very pale skin, tend to enjoy darkness and the night more. The sun is not fond of our skin. We have pretty sweet human fangs. We have not tried someone else’s blood, so we won’t know for sure until we do that.
Event Horizon
The Neologist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time stands still
Life and death are one and the same
Here we are free
I can be without shame
Here on the event horizon
The grasp of humanity extinct
No one can shun
The atomic clock stands still
Particles of essence are lost in the chaos
Every form left in its pure
Reality ceases to be real
The existence of its nature
Called into question
Denied and accepted
By all the heathens
This is meant to be
Here on the event horizon
The grasp of humanity extinct
Thoughts of good and evil
No one can shun
The atomic clock stands still
Particles of essence are lost in the chaos
Every form left in its pure
Reality ceases to be real
Every form left in its pure
Reality ceases to be real
The lyrics to The Neologist's song Event Horizon describe a state of being on the edge of existence, where time stands still and life and death become one and the same. This place is where humanity's grasp is extinct, and thoughts of good and evil are no longer relevant. Here on the event horizon, every form is left in its pure essence, and reality itself ceases to be real. The existence of its nature is called into question, denied and accepted by all the heathens. Being on the event horizon liberates the singer from shame, and he can be free to be himself.
The song seems to be exploring themes of existentialism, the nature of reality, and the fragility of human perception. It highlights the idea that there may be a place beyond our current understanding of existence, where our current systems of thought and morality no longer apply. It could also suggest that there may be a way to shed societal constraints and achieve a sense of true freedom through experiencing this state of being.
