https://soundcloud.com/bankie666/going-underI haven't completed anything for a while. Lots and lots (and lots) of WIPs, so it was time to pick one and finish it, and this is the track I picked. I started it back in 2019 while playing around with my (at the time) new ESP guitar. This is melodic hard rock, which my voice isn't well-suited, so vocals are by Eric Castiglia, who I found on Fiverr.
LyricsThis is a dawning of a new revolution
Wash the world away of all persecution
And so the price is just a simple solution
Though it could be nothing but a mass illusion
The beginning of a crazy deception
Your thoughts to only be a private possession
Curtail and censor is the new self expression
All of the time, it's the new obsession
Coz I'm going under
Save me, save me, I can't breathe
Yeah, I'm going under
Drowning in a silent sea
Why can't we talk about a new integration?
Not too late for rational reclamation
An antidote for oversimplification
A catalyst for potent socialisation
So instead we've got this so-called progression
Yet this movement doesn't answer the question
My God, now there's no place for oral aggression
Just stay hushed, it's the new oppression
Coz I'm going under
Save me, save me, I can't breathe
Yeah, I'm going under
Drowning in a silent sea
I embrace a change of times
Embrace a change of times
Coz I'm going under
Save me, save me, I can't breathe
Yeah, I'm going under
Drowning in a silent sea
