It seems I live in this world but everything is pre-recorded. I breathe, think, act and love like an automaton. I can’t scape this sensation that if I focused and looked at the world for what really is I’d fall in the deepest hole. All I can do is go fully automatic. I’m afraid that if I start to reason and understand, my soul will burn. And all that remains will be the husk of the human being I once was. Empty and consumed. The world is a scary place and I’m not strong enough. I need to disconnect. I need to run away. When I look at you All I see is the background I nod but I don’t listen You are as transparent as crystal There’s so much idiocy around I can’t listen anymore Humanity is deep in trouble Self preservation through annihilation All I can do is turn on self-winding The bigger part of my brain Is disconnected I don’t need it anymore A mind that collapses I don’t need the synapses All I can do is switch on Like voicemail It seems I live in this world but everything is pre-recorded. I breathe, think, act and love like an automaton. I can’t scape this sensation that if I focused and looked at the world for what really is I’d fall in the deepest hole. All I can do is go fully automatic. I’m afraid that if I start to reason and understand, my soul will burn. And all that remains will be the husk of the human being I once was. Empty and consumed. The world is a scary place and I’m not strong enough. I need to disconnect. I need to run away. When I look at you All I see is the background I nod but I don’t listen You are as transparent as crystal There’s so much idiocy around I can’t listen anymore Humanity is deep in trouble Self preservation through annihilation All I can do is turn on self-winding

I don’t know what to say to you This situation is endless I’m sorry I can’t pull through I can’t breathe, my body trembles (Chorus I Can’t Escape/I Feel Nothing) Fear of touching a body Collapsing at the thought Sex is not an option Going to die alone (Chorus I Can’t Escape/I Feel Nothing) For as long as I remember Hunting was so easy Once you get the prey It’s just easy meat (Chorus I Can’t Escape/I Feel Nothing) Fighting the shadows Hating society Afraid of feeling A void inside (Chorus I Can’t Escape/I Feel Nothing) Keep the distance Run away from me I’m the plague you dread If I touch you, you’re dead I can’t escape

about

Another twist in the ever evolving Gravelbed project, there's some Ambientgaze hints and a greater use of synths than ever, Both tracks are demos of what's to be the first LP of Gravelbed.
Recorded during lockdowns and semilockdowns between July and October 2020, its lyrics and atmosphere is heavily influenced by the state of things in this downward spiraling society.

Gravelbed Bilbao, Spain

At the end of 2019, Juantxu Domenech and Pedro Blackearth, old colleagues from the extreme music world, decided to create music with the words Industrial, Dub, Dark, Atmosphere and Electronic in their minds.
