The Monstrous Cloud II

about

This is where it gets playful for me. The track starts off with a long, menacing build-up - somewhat inspired by Karnivool, I suppose - and breaks into some br00tal djent-riffage. It's not very audible on the album in general, but the last year or so, I've really been enjoying Periphery, and this is just about the only track on the album where I showcase that influence a bit.

In that regard, I really think the song sticks out in the context of the record. It was one of the most difficult ones to get right in terms of structure. I had all the parts down, but putting them together in a way that flowed well took a long time, and I think this song was actually the last one to fall into place. I managed to do it in a way that sounds somewhat descent, but the real treat for me is the end bit of the track - the choir coupled with the "dualism" of the acoustic guitars and the distorted guitars just does it for me in a big way. This sound and the heavier, "djenty" (God, I hate that word) sound are both ones that I really hope to explore further in future endeavours.

lyrics

"The Monstrous Cloud II"

Now that you have found
A different way to live your life
You seem to forget
That I’m the one who held you

Now that I have found
A different way to waste my time
I realize that I
Have been a disappointment

It seems like you won’t be coming back,
but I can dream - Yes, I can dream

It seems like you won’t be coming back,
But I will dream – Yes, I will dream

Do you love me now? Are you proud of me?
