What springs forth from you
What divides from you?
What are you sending out?
Bright and shining bursting forth from you
Light
Manifested light
Is this an indication
Of your situation, or
Or is this not what you want to be in the reflection
Refracted dark
You can see it in the mirror
O look can you hear her
Wanting to set free
The singularity
Tell me
Do you want this?
To stare into the abyss
Knowing its there to remind you
Dear, I wouldn’t look right now
Behind you
Wouldn’t look right now
Behind you.
Manifestations
Do you find a
Light heat sound
The refractions of everything around you
Are there things that you want that you are indications
Of the brilliance that surrounds you.
Manifestations
Manifestations
Manifestations
Or do you have some fight in you?
Let the darkness burst on through
The prisms that are inside you,
Inside you
Inside you
What
Will you do
When the light
Hits you?
I found this #skirmish after it was already done, but I loved the concept of what the “refraction would look like if you put your darkest, ugliest parts up to a prism?” So this would be not in the skirmish, but inspired by the #Refraction skirmish topic.
I fell into the topic first by looking for a major/minor twist and delicate #electronic sounds. I layered in some #synth and the whole thing got a bit out of hand. There are small echoes and pieces just out of sync (I hope that’s not the muse’s theme this year!) which I think add to the sense of overall conflict. It features both sweet and #dark #vocals considering what is reflected after it’s entered the subject.
Honestly, I’m not unhappy with the directed chaos that resulted from this. It’s fat, mercurial, and I think meets the brief. It’s also pretty literal and, at a full 5 minutes, kind of long, even for a sonic tug-of-war between darkness and light.
It’s also very much not my normal sound, though every FAWM I seem to find my “sound” gets more and more all over the place.
