Description
Song name: My Sanity on the Funeral Pyre------
Paranoia is the insect worming its way
Through my subconscious thoughts
It's the larva of my self doubt
Gestating in my heart as I spiral down
And everything I touch is breaking
And it falls to the earth in splinters
And I shiver as every splinter finds its way underneath my skin
And after 22 years I can still make my skin crawl.
Every shortcoming, a pitfall.
On my way making amends within myself
To be what I became...
Sometimes it feels like the whole wide world has made itself my enemy.
But I will stand upon my own two feet and raise my head up.
I lick my wounds
Trying to cleanse the infection.
Rabid and diseased reality fades away.
When I pushed myself too far, a a dream of emotional perfection has left a wounded heart.
Trying to perceive the gifts inherent inside me..
It's like squeezing the trigger
It's like opening fire
On Everyone who's let me down.
On every beautiful lie that is only fiction for the first time.
I'm losing control and I like it.
Freedom feels like the noose is gone.
Lyrics (c) Alex Varkatzas [Atreyu]- 2004

I really do get the sense that everything is falling apart in this one. I guess for you this is what it would, or is like when everything's goin to shit for you. That feeling is a common emotion, so I can identify with that feeling of loosing control, being in an uncomfortable situation, Being picked apart, or that everything you worked hard for and believed in is dying. At least that's how I perceive this piece. I really like how this piece says a lot to me. And the lyrics you posted in the artist comment really gives context to the art. Good job.

Yeah. It is a pretty common feeling for a lot of people but ehh, not so much for me anymore.
Atreyu has some pretty good songs.
And perceive it well you do, my friend. Thank you for the appreciation.

Your welcome. I've noticed that I am a fan of the "Darker" side of art. You can probably see so by checking out some of my faces. I love the consistency of the colors used. I know that the same colors mean the same thing in each piece. So these are a few years old? Do you have any more in the works or was this one of those phase thingies?

I tend to put blood in a lot of drawings that are "darker". Sometimes I even do it unconsciously.
Uhmm, I'd say all of these are about a year old now. Any more works with songs in them?

NO, like was doing these dark "Violent" pieces a phase you wen through or is it something you come back to. Your other works aren't as EVIL, which equals AWESOME!!!

Hmm, I'm not sure. I might have some more deep in the Scraps gallery. THANKS DUDE!!

Your dark stuff I feel has more depth to it. Like I said, I need to really look through your gallery, but from what I glanced over, your Violence stuff is a lot deeper. Are they drawings, paintings, or what?
If the opportunity arose, would you be interested in doing art for pay? I'm in a band(a non-evil one) and we might need some art for a website or a demo CD or something. When sending in a demo of something its good to have art on it, so its not just a blank CD with a name on it. Would you be interested in that? We'd of course give credits, pay royalties and all that crap. I eventually I want to be able to create my own insane evil art, so I'm going to take art classes at the college I'm going to. What do ya say?

For the most part, yes. Most of them are inked and painted (watercolors) with some colored pencils, possibly.
Sure, dude. I'd absolutely do that. Sounds awesome.

Cool, my band just decided on a name to. We are "crucify the ego." Can you keep a secret? We want to keep in on the DL so it doesn't get stolen and used before we can copyright it, y'know? So yeah, "crucify the ego." what kind of mental picture does it paint for you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All right. Sounds cool.
Hmmm.. Not sure yet. I can definitely think of something.

Cool. Like I said. There is potential for an opportunity to do some art for us if that makes sense. meaning, "it could happen." Picking a name is the first step, which we JUST did. I have no clue when we would need your services, I'll let you know. Hopefully we can get a websight, or at least a Myspace page up soon and some cool art to go with our name.

I see.
Well you know how to get a hold of me, and I'll add you on Myspace when you get one up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have a myspace. You can find me there by the same name. 3rdeye88. My last name is foreman so you can add me. Yeah, my profile is all decked out with toolband stuff. So either add me or tell me what to find you under. I was talking about a band page. Eventually we want to get some of our tunes recorded and have those on there as well. Myspace is a good way to get exposure. If we go on face book someone else will have to manage it, because I don't fuck with face book. I don't need two of the same thing.

All righty, then. I'll definitely check out the tunes once they get uploaded. After all, it helps inspire the art for the specific songs.
Lol seriously. They're the same thing.
I'll make sure to add you, though. My name is Mr.Whispell.

Actually, we have this one song, and we actually describe the imagery to each other. Its called "Primal" its an instrumental where we use our instruments to convey emotions. It sorta describes someone being lost in a jungle and they hear these tribal like beats(supplied by the drummer) and chanting of in the distance and the person is like super scared and their heart is pounding(represented by the bass) and then they see that the group of people that HE/she got lost from is being eaten as sacrificed by this tribe of hostile natives and the screaming is represented by the guitar. It starts out slow, then it moves into this really danceable part. It does some crazy shit and it ain't your normal pop song. LOL So I can't wait to record some stuff and show it off. I can see what you are saying though, you need to hear the song, and then it paints a mental picture that you then put on paper or what ever you put it on. LOL I'm the same way.

That's intense. It's also kind of sad.
The drawing is kind of graphic for my tastes, but it's still very good. Nicely done.

Oh wow! It's so... painful and sad and heart-wrenching. I would have to say this is one of your most powerful pieces to date. It really is moving.
