Affinity With

by Pleiades

supported by
Alice M.
Alice M. thumbnail
Alice M. A bit different from the “All At Your Mercy” EP, but not necessarily in a bad way. I love how they swing back and forth between raw energy and more peaceful emotions, in here. I’ll need to revisit that for sure.
Edit: Revisiting a lot. Became one of my favorite releases of 2023. Favorite track: Universal.

Honeyguide 04:25
I will lie facing down and I feel proud I will fall deeper now and I'll lose you pure and always unrefined the pollen will keep you alive I will lie facing down and I feel proud if there’s a fire then let it burn I will tear you all apart kaleidoscopes will form a star here lies my brother I can see he's inside the floor heavy stare of open eyes the honey will keep you alive I will fall deeper now and I'll lose you if there's a fire then let it burn every man and child every man and child endless and the wild they believe they believe they believe they believe in everything you say they believe they believe they believe they believe in everything you say I apologise for my state of mind and making all the children cry but I am a guide for humankind and no matter how hard I try Have you seen the look in the giants eye? I'm too afraid to ever fly he doesn't seem to understand what more can I say? Honeyguide i know i can sympathise They truly are a wicked kind but you’re still a plague upon my hive and I still can't sleep at night you bring the devil right to my door you take it all and come back for (more) I pray the price of honey will I pray the price will fall

Siberian 03:36
Fortune is the safer soul And all of my mistakes Are getting old And growing tall With every passing day Fortune is the safer soul And all of my mistakes Are lying in the shade Living on the consciousness estate Lights are on and no ones home I will find doors open Head to toe in skin and bone Starving in the ritual I’ll fall asleep Wander round the riverside My eyes closed i will stay On the surface for another Day I will stay I will await on And I will wear the sun And I will wear the orthodox crown Wear you down I will await on The surface for another day And i will wait until the sun Feels like Lying in a conscious state And they still ask Me for more Smile on the face of earth Keep on going I know That you’ve heard I’ll fall asleep Wander round the riverside With my eyes closed I will stay On the surface for another day I will stay I will await on And I will wear the sun And I will wear the orthodox crown Wear you down I will await On the surface for another day And I will wait until the sun feels like I will await on And I will wear the sun And I will wear the orthodox crown Wear you down I will await On the surface for another day And I will wait until the sun feels like home

Stomach 04:20
Hoping for another Womb to call my own I'll be a son to anyone I will forge another Form above them all I'll be a god to anyone Seeing it like I do I do I will stare at the sun Till I am heard seeing it like I do I do as I stare at the sun Till my eyes burn dreaming in but never of anyone Making me all my decisions my intentions will They keep me well I claim to you or anyone Seeing it like I do I do I will stare at the sun till I am heard Seeing it like I do I do As I stare at the sun till my eyes burn I’m a sun born of burning eyes cut right through the stomach down the only mastodon cut right through the stomach silence makes a sound Atlas i can barely see What's in front of me Atlas i no longer feel Anything at all even with an open wound I'm surprised it phases you even with an open wound you still watch me even with an open wound I'm surprised it phases you even with an open wound you still watch me move you stare and watch me burn away Until i feel again you stare and watch me burn away Until i feel anything at all Is what you're paying for anything at all Is what you're paying for everything i perform What are you waiting for everything i perform What are you waiting for

Looming 04:11
If I could just see down your throat the road would surely open up while I drift around the tropics of your mouth i can fee the eyes looming all around climbing up my back with dreams of being found i can feel your hands creep across creep across my neck with dreams of getting out if i could just see right back up swallowed by a great white sun while I'm thinking of the everlasting love i can fee the eyes looming all around climbing up my back with dreams of being found i can feel your hands creep across creep across my neck with dreams of getting out bring a wave and I will drown everyday in the arms of tidal waves end my shame now you know it's me hanging on now you know it's me still hanging on every time you open up i can feel vermillion blood every time you open up i can feel vermillion swallow pride to save yourself swallow pride for saviors you do it all for lesser do it all for lesser I can feel vermillion blood every time you open up swallow pride to save yourself swallow pride for saviors do it all for lesser men do it all for lesser do it all for lesser men do it all for lesser

Universal 04:37
There's a solipsist Attached to the weary arm of natures wrist And in the petri dish We claim a chemical A chemical imbalance Will I get my Will I get my universe So I can satisfy So I can satisfy a curse Will I get my Will I get my universe So I can satisfy a curse And satiate the endless I'm afraid of what I'll do With a universe Or two Face down in the Nile He's playing king at the top of the sun dial In a sapphire cloak and a heavy weighted diamond ring Could you spare me a universe? Mine is held with string Will I get my Will I get my universe So I can satisfy So I can satisfy a curse Will I get my Will I get my universe So I can satisfy a curse and satiate the endless I'm afraid of what i'll do With a universe Or two I wanna line all my bones With another atom bomb And decorate the house God has stolen from With what comes after What comes after I wanna line all my bones With another atom bomb And decorate the house With what comes after What comes after Will I get my Will I get my universe So I can satisfy So I can satisfy a curse Will I get my Will I get my universe So I can satisfy a curse And satiate the endless I'm afraid of what I will do With a universe Or two And decorate the house With what comes after What comes after

Amos Clift 06:41
Gather round my solar system From your nebula I’ve got a locust in my ear I’ve seen the moon inside the sea Swarming the farallon Gather round my crumbling mountain I can see you climbing All eyes are on my tower Telling all the swarm which way Swarming the farallon Your motivation is still crawling At my feet (at my feet, at my feet) And all I see is Your starving eyes and desperation Still haunt me I can feel the force of you reaching out Swarming the farallon Riddled now with blind ambition I can see you stumble With ideas above your station Your hands are full and giving out Swarming the farallon Your motivation is still crawling At my feet (at my feet, at my feet) And all I see is Your starving eyes And desperation Still haunt me I can feel the force of you reaching out All the fruit you recognise Takes a little sacrifice There's a fire lit beneath my throne I don't know where I can go All the fruit you recognise Takes a little sacrifice Circling the only light I am seen for miles Do you believe What I believe That the well Will never run Do you believe What I believe That the well Will never run dry Do you believe What I believe That the well Will never run Do you believe What I believe That the well Will never run dry I can feel you moving in my view then you go Moving with your jaw and now you're reaching for my medicine I can feel you moving in my view then you go Moving with your jaw and now you're reaching for my medicine I can feel you moving in my view then you go (And then you go, and then you go) Moving with your jaw and now you're reaching for my medicine I can feel you moving in my view then you go (And then you go, and then you go) Moving with your jaw and now you're reaching for my medicine We’re lost in the valley Looking for motivation Wandering Til’ we arrive At ideas above our stations Were lost in the valley Looking for motivation Wandering Til’ we arrive At ideas above our station

I’ll burn It down To forget I’ll burn All my Ill gotten gains I should have Flown away Silent as a spring of old Wouldn't say a thing If we just did what we're told Silent as a spring of old Wouldn't say a Single word at all I should've flown away But now it's too late Silent as a spring of old Wouldn't say a thing If we just did what we're told Silent as a spring of old Wouldn't say a Single word at all I will die for a single crumb Keep her sweet with the honey Now that the rats’ race is finally won I'm asleep on the podium I will die for a single crumb Keep her sweet with the honey Now that the rats’ race is finally won I’m asleep on the podium I will die for nothing at all Keep me alive for the money Now that the rats have all finally won I will stay asleep Til’ it never happened I should’ve flown away Away but now it's too late I should’ve flown away Away but now it's too late I should’ve flown away Away but now it's too late Late Til’ it never happened Silent as a spring of old Wouldn't say a thing If we just did what we're told Silent as a spring of old Wouldn't say a Single word at all Silent as a spring of old Bogged down by the repetition Swamp like and tired of it all Silent as a spring of old Bogged down by the repetition Swamp like and getting tired Silent as a spring of old Bogged down by the repetition Swamp like and tired of it all

Treppenwitz 02:44
How can you desire purity When you yourself are so unclean How can you be headless at your age Can you comprehend what's left to change Now I see Now I see the woe Recognitions deafening I know Now I see Now I see the woe Definitions beckoning us all I will wane as my body starts to waver I will wait but my patience won't hold Limp along In certainty Until you feel a fall Coffers brim with power Overflow Treasure your delusions Gathered on the floor Dividing all the hung and drawn House of gold Now I see Now I see the woe Recognitions deafening I know Now I see Now I see the woe Definitions beckoning us all I will wane as my body starts to waver I will wait but my patience won't hold I will wane as my body starts to wither I will wait but my patience won't hold We all get a taste of it all Get up For death dies not We all get a taste of it all Get up For death dies not We all get a taste of it all Get up For death he will die not Now you know the woe is me

Tongue 03:58
Trap it in the fence Dragging what is left Tail of the fox is so bright And innocent All this evolution Leaves me For too long Take my Tongue away Before I talk A thousand times Contradict myself again Pouring fire on Everything you say Take my speech Craft a language I cant repeat Take my Tongue away Before I talk a thousand times Over Leaving me wretched Evacuate the mind It doesn't feel natural But capable of trying Yeah i got it good I decorate myself again Just to attract you Take my Tongue away Before I talk A thousand times Contradict myself again Pouring fire on Everything you say Take my speech Craft a language I can’t repeat Take my Tongue away Before I talk A thousand times Over Using all my Whispering Morse code Clicks and The listening Using all my Whispering Morse code Clicks and The listening Using all my Whispering Morse code Clicks and The listening Take your hand it's all I need Leaving myself feeling new Take your hand it's all I need Leaving myself feeling new Take your hand it's all I need Leaving myself feeling new Take your hand it's all I need Leaving myself feeling

I've got empathy Feeling so it’s still running in my veins I will age accelerate Almost every day And the sympathy I’m running through a maze It still feels like a game I will roam all by myself Almost every day I'm caught On the claw of a single thought And it's keeping me in All of the space I realigned I'm caught On the claw of a single thought And it's keeping me in All of the space I realigned If I remember And the memory Of the young and lost his way And still wandering An incendiary Yeah the young and up in flames And I watch I watch I watch for days I'm caught On the claw of a single thought And it's keeping me in All of the space I realigned I'm caught On the claw of a single thought And it's keeping me in All of the space I realigned If I remember I am caught On the claw On the claw of my simple thoughts I am caught On the claw On the claw of my simple thoughts I hear the noise coming from their mouths But the words are too bright for me to focus on I know what I’m being told is for me , to keep me here But as soon as it becomes clear I’ve already forgotten And I need telling again But I’m too ashamed to ask Every day more of me is missing My shell grows more hollow everyday The burden on the parts of me left become to great And I’m shutting down before my time No living thing lives without a shell But the shell alone is no living thing No living thing lives without a shell But the shell alone is no living thing Is empathy the only kind of love Only love Never worth the labor Is empathy the only kind of love Only love Never worth the labor Is empathy the only kind of love Only love Never worth the labor I’m caught On the claw of a single thought And it keeps me in All the space I've realigned I’m caught On the claw of a single thought And it's keeping me in All the space I've realigned Is empathy the only kind of love Only love Never worth the labor Is empathy the only kind of love Only love Never worth the labor Is empathy the only kind of love Only love Never worth the labor Is empathy the only kind of love Is empathy the only kind of love
