With a crew composed of 7 different beings, the atmosphere sometimes takes the form of symphonic proportion by its sound diversity and arrangements. Their vocal performance range from one extreme to the other as they alternate between glorious choirs; inhuman screams of deep, high, mid-growl and delirious intensity; theatrical narrations and clean/sober sections strewn with bewitching feminine singing pleasures.

Unexpect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feuding perceptions in the everlasting scales-tipping war »
Subconscious foreword
Goblins, Imps and Farfadets of this cerebral reality
Mischievous children of the elusive spiritual magic
Atomic parcels of a slippery slippery immensity
Go astray of linear paths!!
Free yourselves from the coherent slavery suggested by the Unclean!!!!
Sporadic Fireballs!! Experiment Chaos intensity!!
Perpendicular euphoria
Burst! Feverish coloured bubbles!!!
Blotch this predictable boring mindscape.
Reason
You Lunatic! Be Damned!! Irresponsible traitor to the Order!
Why why this spontaneous incitation to mutiny?!
Herald of confused notions
I AM discernment! Monochrome protector of the cellular enclosure and its Shepherd...
These imps must be controlled, supervised, realistic
Subconscious
Obliterate the Lock!!! Open wide the Arena's gates and let the Goblins play!!!!
Feasting! Rejoicing! The tyrant is sleeping May the will-o-the-wisps sip His foolery as it is time for Tea! Feasting! Rejoicing! The willows are dripping As robotic genes sing lullabies, pretty, pretty ZOMBIE!! Catch a falling moon! They will paint my skin!? Voodoo!!
Besieged by you, Reason and Conformity.
Thieves of the imaginary realm
Immolators of Childish souls Binary taste
Strolling slowly within this infinite playground
Reason
Eccentrics ..you cannot appreciate the pertinence of a slumber devoid of rodents
Your purple blood wade within the sensorial estimation of a slimy walled fortress!!
My wisdom submerges the disillusioned reptilian
--- Never look up or drown ---
Unwavering, Steady, Straight, Unwavering, Steady, Straight
Subconscious
Grimace and run, to the opposite side of the herbivore gates who devour the greenish mixture!! I see your bones and they are aligned such as paladin ants crossing a wall of stimulating magma. Tame the Cerberus, aim with serenity and get out of its cavern the swiveling tower of Intra-cosmos!!
Stupefaction! The fictive inexistent is materializing internal visual information astounded by the absence of total nothingness. Behold Emptiness and meditate
..is it not magnificent, to transcend/surpass the focus of an elitist vision. Not so hard to fix oxygen when you're living with us
Living Ideas / Goblins
Hey!!! Vile hunchback you're trampling my mushrooms!!
The me of your anyway oh! silence must prevail
Economically speaking we can't afford to let them live decently
What a grotesque nose!
Let the sun shine! Teeth are painting your inside
Bah! May rust nibble your winged boots!
Everybody! Caress your hands and let's be happy friends with big joy!
Does my can contrast with the architecture?
Talk, talk to me broomstick!
He, He Are you frightened of Free Brains?
May I borrow your head for the evening?
Humm... swimming in boiling holy water is such a bloody delight
Shut up! Gather yourselves and join the assembly: "La Sarabande commence!!!"
We're a boneless civilization in perpetual distraction
In the recess of our volcano... Digging, initializing sequence no. 9: Evolutive Eruption
We are not, we are nuts, Fools in a flesh Starship
Let's munch our gnarled fingers, oh sweet atrophy!
Skeletons in the gallery, sons of a hybrid galaxy
Trelînak Gôr Chuss-Eilorkâ Snurtifov
Screamed Words of Goblin's Faith
Just never say Checkmate
The song "Psychic Jugglers" by Unexpect is a complex, multi-layered piece of music with lyrics that explore the conflict between reason and intuition. The opening lyrics, "A dialogue between paradoxes, Feuding perceptions in the everlasting scales-tipping war," suggest a struggle between opposing forces that cannot be reconciled. These forces are represented by Reason (personified as a "Monochrome protector") and the Subconscious (represented by "Goblins, Imps, and Farfadets"). The Subconscious seeks to break free from the constraints imposed by Reason, urging the listener to "Dance! Gambol! Exult!!".
The lyrics alternate between Reason and the Subconscious, with each voice struggling to gain control over the other. Reason represents practicality and logic, while the Subconscious represents intuition and creativity. The Subconscious urges the listener to "blotch this predictable boring mindscape," while Reason insists on control, arguing that the "imps must be controlled, supervised, realistic." The Subconscious, however, urges the listener to "open wide the Arena's gates and let the Goblins play!!!!"
The overall message of the song seems to be that both Reason and the Subconscious have their place, and that a balance between the two is necessary for true creativity and intellectual growth. The lyrics are rich in imagery, and the music is both chaotic and beautiful, reflecting the conflict between the two opposing forces.

Exaggerating to make a point
Shut up! Gather yourselves and join the assembly: "La Sarabande commence!!!"
Encouraging people to come together and enjoy life
We're a boneless civilization in perpetual distraction
A society that is easily distracted and lacks structure
In the recess of our volcano... Digging, initializing sequence no. 9: Evolutive Eruption
Exploring new ideas and opportunities
We are not, we are nuts, Fools in a flesh Starship
Accepting and embracing a sense of craziness or absurdity
Let's munch our gnarled fingers, oh sweet atrophy!
Exaggerating to make a point about hunger or a lack of food
Skeletons in the gallery, sons of a hybrid galaxy
Drawing attention to the absurdity of life
Trelînak Gôr Chuss-Eilorkâ Snurtifov
Nonsensical words that don't have a clear meaning
Screamed Words of Goblin's Faith
Expressing belief in something that may seem absurd
Just never say Checkmate
Don't give up on the game of life

People don't realize how talented you'd actually have to be to play this.
Buddha Misanthrope

Did I... did I just hear a combination between Progressive Metal and Free Jazz??
That was wonderful. I don't love this kind of singing, but the music behind it is just so damn good.
Buddha Misanthrope
Yes you did it right..
You can also try the album from Circle of illusion - Jeremias
Or maybe some songs from Counter-world experiment or Outlet if you don't know those bands yet ;)

He is just a human so he doesn't know but this awesome Technical prog band should be the official music band for Tim Burton's movies.

This was the last song IaFA to click for me. Now it might just be my favourite off of the album. Their newest, FotSE is amazing too, I can't possibly decide which album is better but they're both amongst my alltime favourite albums.

This is my new favorite music! Thank you so much!
