about

This song serves as a warning for the future as people begin to replace their true identities with their online personas. The lyrics warn that true authenticity and real personalities will be 'eclipsed' by our online replicas, known as the 'reflections we can't reclaim'. The groove and feel of the song is an indication of the arrogance with which society approaches technological developments without fear of repercussion and the wide open bridge section represents the 'eclipse' that we as a society should be striving to avoid at all costs.

lyrics

Compliant you seek reprieve,
Contrived is the world that you all claim to need,
Forlorn is the circumstance,
Where distinction and nuance suffer at your hands.

Surrender yourselves away,
Erase all but your name,
Denial defines your way.

A cry to expose within,
A cry to release what you all know is real,
Relinquishing all you feel,
Intrinsic values are concealed.

Surrender yourselves away,
Erase all but your name,
Denial defines your way.

Reflections you can't reclaim,
Synthetic, egregious, inherent in the
Apathy you sustain,
When will you break down,
Only to rise again.

Eclipse yourselves as one,
Welcoming what's to come,
Led astray to this empty place,
Surely you can't betray

The Shadows you cast away,
Erase all but your name,
Denial defines your way.

Surrender yourselves away,
Surrender yourselves away.
