I'm impressed you caught that the modulated pitches were representative of different times in my life! 👏 and you're spot on about the way they pan from ear to ear, I tried to give the same feel as (nerd rant incoming) Jin Kazama when he is being controlled by the devil within him and sees/hears Kazuya and Heihachi berating and laughing at him.

This section: Please don’t let me leave I’m all by myself Please just stay with me You don’t know me well Please don’t love me back I don’t know myself Please let go of me Who’s controlling this? Please take hold of me Please don’t let me leave I’m all by myself Please just stay with me I really like how it sounds like the form of a Round, like Row Row Row your Boat. The way you modulated the voice pitches added a whole layer, like you're the one singing this Round over and over again, all alone, which would be quite hard to do solo. Like it is a barrage of intrusive thoughts in perpetual motion but the thoughts are not always in the same age of mindset. Sometimes modulated down representing times when you had to grow up too fast then reverted back to a younger childlike mindset - but it's all always happening at once, the prelude to the chaos you begin to describe in the next section of the song. Sorry I'm kinda new to Patreon, and my "Enter" key was not working and it would post my comment instead of start a new paragraph (please help how do I use the "Enter" key and make it not post the comment, but start a new line for a sentence, instead of a block of text.)

I tend to gravitate to the sound of a song before I focus on lyrics and I like where this is going. I love the first 8 sec, then the more chaotic sounds that I now realise match your lyrics. The sound does make me feel confused and adrift and a little uncomfortable, but then I was nicely anchored again with the return to a reflection of the opening and yet was still different with additional layered sounds. I'm certainly no expert in production and not great at describing music, but I hope my little comment is useful. Thank you for sharing your creation with us!

I had been thinking that Pneuma made the most sense for the next Tool song and that way you could see Danny's drumming in the drumcam video after the studio, but this song makes it clear it's gotta be Forty Six & 2.

I love this and the emotions it stirs up whilst listening, I have severe social anxiety and I admire you so much for opening up and making me feel im not alone. Much love teddy

This was interesting and also so fractured. Thank you for posting the Lyrics too, it’s poetry in motion ❤️

My mind is blown, been trying to find the right words for waaay to long now and the words are still not wording like I want them too. And I'm in mager overthinking mode after this... The way you were able to musically show the spiraling and your bars...the 👆 and 👇sceme... spiralling down to the top...

Thank you my friend 🙏🤎

Thank you! I’ve always been good at picking up production techniques in music but applying them is a whole different beast 🤯 I’m glad you picked up on the intrusive thoughts element I tried to convey 🙏 I’ll leave you the lyrics below to tussle with.. Please don’t let me leave I’m all by myself Please just stay with me You don’t know me well Please don’t love me back I don’t know myself Please let go of me Who’s controlling this? Please take hold of me Please don’t let me leave I’m all by myself Please just stay with me - The chaos is all I can see Cést la vie I need a seance or something to stay with me Buried so much of my past to the point there’s no room in the grave for me Tryna keep satan away from me Minus the deathcore he’s outside with a chess board I know he’s tryna play with me How many times has he taken me? I’ve had everybody prey on me Like I’m a deity Every mistake that I’ve made was it me if my anger’s away with me? Pride myself on always staying the same But have I gone insane if I’m tryna be a greater me? That’s when the demons awake in me Tryna keep everyone safe from me Praying heaven has a place for g’s I didn’t have a dad/Navidad like Feliz That only led me to nap in the streets And I put the blame all on me at fourteen Like what if hatred is all I can be? It’s all I’ve achieved This form of release It pours into me I call it a beast But more vividly And for it to feed It gnaws at my dreams And all of my needs I have to let go I haven’t been being honest with myself I’ve been in hell Falling so long I don’t know where the ground is and I cannot tell Which way is up Spiralling down to the top Cos the bottom is somewhere I’m comfortable with In the back of my head I’ve been mumbling things And my demons are telling them stop But I’m still lost Stuck in a forest in the middle of it I cannot run from it I’m turning to God Stood in the silence Another reminder As much as I try I was cursed from the off I say that to say I don’t have the patience To wait for a saint I have to become one Let go of everything that I’ve been keeping in Have to release it before I am gone

Nice. It's going to take me a few listens before I can really grapple with the lyrical content but the production side, the pitch shifting for the different inner voices as well as moving it around position wise really conveys the intrusive thoughts well.

I really like the lyrics on this one, especially the beginning.
