about

The album opens with a straightforward narrative that introduces our protagonist and the situation they are confronted with. An airplane lands at an abandoned airport. The passengers exit the plane and make their way through the remains of what used to be a bustling hub indicative of the “old world.” This scene is set in the not-so-distant future, where humanity has obviously failed to hold civilization together. By the end of the song the protagonist has left the airport headed for parts unknown – also leaving behind the idea that the old world can ever exist again.

lyrics

Landed

It appears we’ve landed
On a ruined airstrip
The tower’s overgrown
This craft is all alone

Kicking down the cabin door
Leave this shell forevermore
No return flights will be sold

Terminal abandoned
The turnstiles groan and creak
Reality is “stranded”
Onwards, our lonely goal

Draw aside the ripped and torn
Ediface that we adorned
With broken shells dead ocean floors

See the sands smash the glass
All the hopes never came to pass
What lies beyond the cellar door

Whip the hind
Lash the eyes
It should never have been a big surprise

Mesh ribbon retractors
Exploded on the floor
Form a barrier maze
Beyond that are the doors

Chaos reigns confuse the mind
Wish to go back in time
To the place we left behind

Because we could not stop ourselves

Pushing past the doors
A world awaits that we ignored
Spilt milk and broken eggs
The apocalypse was one we made

And we landed here
Not long before we disappear
In the meantime let’s not waste a breath
Being here is enough scared to death

And no more matchstick men
And no more preaching sin
And no more frenzied gains
And no more preserved remains
And no more facades and sets
And no more contrived regrets
We just landed here . . .

Tristam Lass Denver, Colorado

I have been playing for years and this music is dedicated to my independent musical expression. All of the music that you hear on this page was created without computer editing or digital enhancement. Glad to also announce that all drums are now acoustic again! Good to be back on the kit. Hope you enjoy what you hear! ... more
