ABSENTH
Absenth is a concept EP produced by BESTEMOR, where I featured as a songwriter and singer.
The concept goes around the pun-title Absenth, a mix between Absence and Absinthe, representing the intoxication by void, nothingness.
Each track is a unique story, coherent with the core theme.
STARCHILD tells about a person and their last will, desiring to reunite with the universe and become an eternal wanderer to witness the beauty and fatality of the stars, the galaxies, and the void that separates them.
The Starchild finally believes that, to find their eternal solace, is to accept the void that engulfs the universe and to stand before the abyss to find an answer that will shine against it.
THE VOID THEORY tells about two astronauts, last survivors of the human race, decayed in their timeline.
They developed a theory based on black holes and the hypothetical existence of white holes that, ignoring the known principles of thermodynamics.
Their theory states that, by traversing a black hole, they could exit out a white hole and into a new timeline where the human race still thrives.
They ask their supercomputer to process all the due calculations to enter the black hole; it responds by denying any success, finding their survival theory illogical.
The astronauts, clung to their last beacon of hope and their fears, still decide to pass through the black hole.
STARCHILD
And when I exhale my last breath, I hope to stay connected with the molecules that slow up into the sky, past the atmosphere and into space.
And among the universe I want to travel forever, surrounding the stars that are born and die, touching the curvature of space-time, going back to the origins of existence and beyond.
I want to migrate for the eternity, as the absence will forge me into a new consciousness.
Starchild,
drifting in the void
Laws and morale
doesn't matter no more
Embracing the horrors
Defying the sorrow
And as I explore the deep, vast darkness, the true abyss discloses before my mind's eye.
Here I drink to you, enjoying the dance of the fireflies, the deadly bolero of light.
Fix me some soil where to fare down, after I struggle to push my soul beyond my dread, I'll leave a seed for your eternal sake.
Starchild,
far from any home
Smiles over fear
Chanting what you've got
Riding the voidness
The ultimate solace
​
And over the infinite and expanding, thousand whispers will tell me their stories.
I'll collect them at a fixed point in time, where no one will harm them.
Oh, the universe, my only highness, grant me the front row, when the end will rise the curtain.

THE VOID THEORY
Astronaut1:
Dynamics make it impossible
But a theory here lies
Maybe another time
To cure the illness, our failures
Intoxicated by this suspension
The white door we wouldn't open
Our line from a doomed life
The last equation, to survive
Motherboard:
Reach your destination
Before the event horizon
Uncertain outcome
Astronaut 2:
Board computer, give us a sign.
Haunting mother, give us a way.
Pure logic denying us
Everything goes against, thus
Stood still and observed a black hole
The fear before our dull eyes
Give us a sign
Motherboard:
Operation in progress.
Recalculation.
The equation is unknown
The void theory unintelligible
Astronaut1:
Feasting on our beliefs
We shaped the universe with no hands
And not a religion would explain this
Not a prophecy would save us
Farewell to this timeline
Reaching the only path we've deserved
To the true void and unknown
Motherboard / Astronaut 2:
Caution, unknown after-effects (We must try)
Gravity unstable, falling (Into the black hole, we go)
Failing (Give us a hope)
Failing (Give us a hope)
