subsidian Love the cinematic feel and glitchy, electronic-y instrumentals throughout this album! Favorite track: Binx.

Urban Gorilla Boy A blinder of an album... from start to finish this is like an epic novel going from one insane twist and turn to another, always ending with a beautiful written conclusion.

Obylx didn’t just knock this one out the park.... they shot down the moon with it!!
😎🌟🤘🎵🎶❤️ Favorite track: Lift.

Trees 02:33
I can’t see through the trees They’re swaying in the breeze I’m lost, I’m on my knees Looking for the sun Another day has just begun Nowhere left to run A chill hangs in the air Been looking everywhere I break I’m in despair Falling from the sky Clouds begin to cry And I know why Night time, night time Standing in the moonlight looking where to climb Day time, day time, I look up to the sky and lose my mind Night time, night time Standing in the moonlight looking where to climb Day time, day time, I look up to the sky and lose my mind

Leave 03:02
Stand in the rain until our tears are over Sit in the tree until you think I’m sober The time to leave has past, I know you can see me The sun has set at last, I know you can hear me Walk in the stream until our feet turn colder Look at the sky until you feel much older The time to leave has past, I know you can see me The sun has set at last, I know you can hear me Stand in the rain until our tears are over Sit in the tree until you think I’m sober The time to leave has past, I know you can see me The sun has set at last, I know you can hear me

Can’t believe it when the ghosts arrive When they show up in the dead of night Oh who have I become? In the dark it takes it hold Multiplied it’s uncontrolled Who have I become? I see the river but I can’t get in The well is filling I’m too scared to swim Letting go yeah it won’t be long I can’t hold on Oh who have I become (have I become have I become have I become have I become have I become have I become have I become)

As life turns to dust And dust returns to life Earth will stand watching Just sharpening her knife Oh, still it keeps on turning But still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on But still it keeps on turning But still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on Still it keeps on turning Still it keeps on on on Still it keeps on turning

And I wake up to another day going in slow motion Coaxing my limbs to let me out of bed But I'm just going through the motions This don't look good on me Tired eyes and i'm living half asleep And my thoughts have no space to breathe the way that you mislead and I'm falling in deeper I've been waiting for so long to find my moment in the movement of it all and I've been waiting to prove you wrong to wake up again stop praying for your calls I wake up, dreaming you were there rolling over lonely These cold showers falling down would do nothing for me No this just don't work on me I'm like a puppy dog, craving for your leash and it's so sad to think i need, needed you to see i was falling down deeper I've been waiting for so long to find my moment in the movement of it all and I've been waiting to prove you wrong to wake up again stop praying for your calls This is the hour No you won't know me I don't want to let you go I don't want to let you go But I, I got to let you go This is the hour No you won't know me

Another Day 02:05
Tell me that you’re not a part of me Be the light to start another day Everything in time, I’m on my way Straying from the road Anything I lost is far away Even though it feels like yesterday I head into the dark and lie awake Tell me that you’re not a part of me Be the light to start another day Everything in time, I’m on my way Straying from the road Anything I lost is far away Even though it feels like yesterday I head into the dark and lie awake

about

obylx Bristol, UK

Inspired by classic tales of lost souls heading to the wilderness to find purpose, in late 2017 Ollie Johnson created a fictional wanderer called obylx. The music he made would be a reflection on what he had learned. The idea of releasing that music on the first day of each month aims to invite the listener along with him. There is no destination, the only goal is to keep on moving forward. ... more
