lyrics
Loud longings for a distant dawn,
contemplating understanding
of understanding.
Clear like the sky in the window,
passing by.
Souls walk beyond it,
with the thoughts we left behind.
A grasp lost, trying to speak in silence
From the fear, in the abyss beneath it.
A gap of spoken words of distortion
From the ocean between us.
In a loss for words, entitlement
And now,
I feel it too
With great effort of unspoken focus
To map a path in thoughts
in thought.
A tide in rage throws my ways against the bank
of great effort but no spoken focus
A fire rips me from sleep
and follows me til' sunset
With a blood red intensity,
it burns me up from inside
the smoke, the air, it thickens
and I burn with every breath,
while I flicker to stay awake.
A grasp for something pure
where no purity can be found
It’s all lost in why,
It’s all lost in why
No joy from the mind outside me,
within, not afar
don’t tear me away from me
while left in the sorrow
the false hope I feel
don't tear me away
Can’t breathe while this heart shatters,
The crumbling sound in an echo
While you scream in this moment
'Please don’t tear me away from me,
Don’t tear me away from me'
contemplating understanding
of understanding.
Clear like the sky in the window,
passing by.
Souls walk beyond it,
with the thoughts we left behind.
A grasp lost, trying to speak in silence
From the fear, in the abyss beneath it.
A gap of spoken words of distortion
From the ocean between us.
In a loss for words, entitlement
And now,
I feel it too
With great effort of unspoken focus
To map a path in thoughts
in thought.
A tide in rage throws my ways against the bank
of great effort but no spoken focus
A fire rips me from sleep
and follows me til' sunset
With a blood red intensity,
it burns me up from inside
the smoke, the air, it thickens
and I burn with every breath,
while I flicker to stay awake.
A grasp for something pure
where no purity can be found
It’s all lost in why,
It’s all lost in why
No joy from the mind outside me,
within, not afar
don’t tear me away from me
while left in the sorrow
the false hope I feel
don't tear me away
Can’t breathe while this heart shatters,
The crumbling sound in an echo
While you scream in this moment
'Please don’t tear me away from me,
Don’t tear me away from me'

about
NOÊTA Västra Götaland County, Sweden
BLACK AMBIENT FOLK
"NOÊTA takes its name from Greek philosophy and describes the notion of
universal thoughts that exist without someone (or something) thinking them. The duo's wonderfully elusive sound is fascinating and compelling, yet difficult to categorize. This is music as mood; poetic, dark, ambient landscapes laid out with vintage equipment and Êlea's enticing, mesmerizing voice"

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3

Let the Earth Be Silent
by FVNERALSsupported by 16 fans who also own “Psykhē”
Imagine a warm, dark wave slowly enveloping the world around you. By the time you realize it's wrapped around your shoulders, the world falls away and you drift through endless shadow. An amazing ambient, doom, metal thing that creeps slowly through your head and lurks behind your eyes. It's beautiful. It's abrasive. And you should surrender to it's depth for 40 minutes.
