Phases 06:29
The angle of the daylight was a sign The wrong fold of the curtain gave me the clue Ain‘t going to complain or whine Was it me or was it (this time) you Who planted in my soil this idea malign And so this goes like the slime through the drain – wake up, get up, stay there, stand up, shut up and just keep going Now go on, move on, keep it up, reach out for the door Don‘t stop, don‘t fall And try to keep your eyes open wide for there are still miles of stairs running to the bottom of this spire Here I come, here I go Greeting the new day - that starts already worn away Here I come, here I go!

By Design 05:45
So frail, yet never ending. The dream. Of early, uneasy morning hours. Or so it seems Glass walls surrounding me – I‘m locked from inside, madly looking for a place to hide I‘m running out of air, I‘m suffocating And every single sense in an alarming tension screams to me: You’re on the island, there’s a shore. Wading the night, only saved by the dawn and the morning Steep is the climb, even steeper the ridge I’ll be falling from Reckless is my flight as I am driven forward in panic By coincidence or by design I feel I’m being chased, gasping I’m ankle-deep in the sea of broken shards and hopes And as I’m wading onwards I feel my head explode By coincidence or by design The flesh is being torn-off my spine

You again 04:45
Here you come, in a ritual gown; descending the marble steps by the throne Your taste is somewhat bitter and sour, you look like a fat worm on a flower Where you go, you leave footprints on the snow And springs come from underneath your feet; I’d like to dissolve in the flow, Yet something repels me What that is I don’t know… Where you go, I follow and sow the questions – Is this the something we were looking for? Or is it something that we left behind? This is the form, in which I submerge myself, And you keep telling me I’m doing fine The perfect tactics to confine

I am no more 05:33
The lights are out sky’s getting bright, The sleepy dusk fills up the place Towards the eastward stripe of chrome Through empty streets I’m going home I… I am no more By dawn I am no longer here; I’m gone When the fighting’s done and the uproar’s down, When my mind is sober and my head is light, I am striding idly the sleeping town With every step the feeling’s stronger – my rout correct, decision right I am no more When there’s nothing left to do, when the games are over Like the crowds that disappeared as the night got older And like the wine that has been drunk the time has passed, the hours have shrunk In the light air only two of us now roam – just me and the emptiness; she escorts me as I’m going home

Cold Glow 05:58
As the forest of the street lamps gets dense I‘m being dragged towards the hub of pipes and wires Dim light is the only guide and I give in to the might of the lazy delight Mute watchers in disguise My quiet shepherds they do hide behind the corners, out of sight They keep me in here and by their right – I blindly stumble in the murky gloom descending helplessly with blissful smile I know exactly in which room she looms and almost smell all her intentions vile You! Have dragged me down here in soft caress Oh moon – forsaken beacon high above the jagged silhouettes To this tune I succumb, for I cannot fight it any less My tomb is ready in the concrete trench and dirge is in the air A pair of hungry eyes come closer steadily in growing uproar Her sticky fingers around my neck – Is it my destiny you‘ve brought me here for?

about

A blend of post-black metal and shoegaze comes from Lithuania in the form of Devlsy. The characteristic low tuned guitars, distorted and singing bass with a black-metalish vocal on top is the recipe you will find in their debut album "A Parade of States". As the name of the album suggests, Devlsy brings you a kaleidoscope of experiences and visions, a glimpse into the internal uneasiness and distorted mind.
