I die therefore I am Existing through perception I want to burn with these notions, debunking the reality It makes me sick Choice is an illusion Feed this urge for the self-destruction Self is a lie, I’m the reflections Utter depression in the paradox To be is to deny I shed my skin and find the proof Death and life entwined Life to die for death to live for 눈꺼풀 아래 요동치는 발견되길 바라는 정당성 고요한 아침이 올 때 까지 I die therefor I am, therefore I die Life to die for death to live for What I couldn’t find What couldn’t have existed What could have been born The thin line between existence and non-existence is going blurry And it is always gory The animal of doom in me wants to wear my face I become its mask Life is unstoppable, so die to truly exist Life to die for death to live for I die therefor I am I dive into the black ocean Where I’m you and you are me Pressed down by the weight of sleep It gardens my anxiety The silent is preying on me My skin dissolves and I’m becoming one with the ocean Trees weep with the night wind Where it’s giving birth to none So still, yet so violent The absolute I die therefor I am

Through the blood stream it spreads Ashes of the blackened innocence Tell me more, please tell me more How this obsession is destroying myself The more you deny, it’s getting stronger Feeding the insanity It will set me free 구원하는 자와 징벌하는 자 서로의 그림자를 따라 밟으며 구원받는 자와 징벌받는 자 I am the reflection of the world I’m the dream of the maggots wriggling under the skin Look down to the ceiling, I will be there The devil lives in the gap between the words The absence of nothingness I created the meaning out of meaninglessness The origin of endless pain I’m hell of the ones that died before they could hatch Reality is just an illusion I feel more alive dying, more dead living There’s no difference after all

Say goodbye to the footsteps left backwards There are shadows but no people on the street Bye-bye Walking among the shadows and just pretending like I am one of them Bye-bye Following the trail back, I am heading to my death Bye-bye Say goodbye to my self in the mirror Myself answers me back, but the lips don’t match Say goodbye to the footsteps that are chasing me There are people without shadows on the street Too many people Too many micro cosmoses crossing each other and causing dissonance Too many fucking people I cannot breath I am trapped in life I’m suffocating but I can’t die

about

Human Traces Berlin, Germany

After their long and arduous journey, it is time for them to
reemerge as a band. On 28.10.2022, Human Traces will begin their
three-course menu with the fruits of their labour.
"Akt I: Life to die for" will be the first of three EPs that will
result in an entire album. The dish of the day is pure and
petrifying depression, spiced with rage, grief and a hint of
aggression.
