ManifestiV • Music

(2021) The ManifestiV fourth release Horsemen reflects upon an accidental foreshadow of the pandemic in speechless resonance, first devolving from rich ambient washes void of boundary before accumulating walls of decimated sound driven by relentless rhythm & bass into a void of dissonance laced with bowed vibraphones, echoing a welcome overstayed by our species on this planet. ↓

(2018) The ManifestiV sophomore release God is a Martian depicts the journey of human emotion before transcending into the next life via judgement of an ethereal being, summing up a life ending far too rapidly. ↓

(2019) The remix accompaniment to God is a Martian and third ManifestiV release includes some of its songs reimagined by Bijou Noir and Bloodied from across Earth as well as a desolate reinterpretation of Radiohead's "Daydreaming" from home. ↓

(2014) The ManifestiV debut Einer Sie Gern (rough German translation for "Of you, gladly" conveying a satirical salutation) narrates a commonly human journey from obscurity of self via distorted guidance & entrapment to the endless empowerment of confidence & awareness.

¶'s loungey croons & decimated guitars gracefully mingle alongside EvE's far-eastern harmonies & electric vibraphones, all within soundscapes ranging from ambient washes to industrial walls, each according to the sentient emotion of each song. ↓

[Encaustic beeswax paintings by EvE embody the spirit of each song as well as the album as a whole.]

ending excerpt from United Nations
Attorney General António Guterres'
State of the Planet Address 201202:

To put it simply,
The state of the planet is broken.
Humanity is waging war on nature.

This is suicidal.

Nature always strikes back.
And it is doing so with
Growing force & fury.

Fib Knot

Down we go to where
the worst of them despair.

You can wallow
in everything that won't go right.
Fib knot, would they?
Seems like you're right
in just how all this will end soon.
Here goes, ready?

Here we are again,
trying to be your friends.

Just Wait

Seasons change,
The sun has set for you.
We're the same,
Except we'll make it through.

Here we are again.
Call us your friends,
even though during dark times,
we were nowhere to be found.

Don't block out the sun.
The worst is yet to come.
Just wait...

Too Many Took

You felt the fight was over?
It always followed you.

Dead friends that left all the best for you
depend on when ever you fall through.

You knew your night was over.
Too many took from you.

God is a Martian

Feel the weight above you, and
fear the dark among you, inside.

See your life before you
proceed into another, just like...

Stranger

Stranger, stay that way.
Strangely, I only wanted
dangerous & delicious
regrets to leave me haunted.

For the last time I need to forget you
ever moved a single part of me.
Just remember, burn up all our memories
and forget there ever was a we.

Danger, keep away.
We'll lose momentum out there.
Persist in being our best
unlike to one another.

Stranger, I care for ones not there.

Snow

Snow falls, everything does,
lost and center.
Snow's nowhere to be found
in our winter.
  Feel it all melt away,
stop the heat.

No matter what choice we had in it,
it isn't real.
No matter what faith we stored in it,
it isn't worth it anymore.

Not sleeping, it isn't real.
  Just dreaming, could it be real?

We end, everything does,
part of growing.
Prosper, burn strong then fade,
  I've stopped glowing.

Damage

Please believe these things that I conceive.
They're not for you, just for me.
You do not concern me.
Please just leave the memories of we.
What might have been & never could
have ever been complete.

All that I've told you, you already know.
And if you heard me, then why can't you go?
Why must you prod at what we only know?
Carry on for me, relentlessly so.
Please move on, and stay gone.

Please relieve yourself of all that grief.
You will be fine some other time,
just feel out your defeat.
Please just see past all your disbelief.
Just close your eyes & fall upon
those wings kept underneath.

Rid of Me

Whatcha gonna do
when I never say to you
what I'm gonna do
even after all of you
knew I'd never stay?
(You would never anyway.)
Wish I wasn't like
Everything that I
Grew to hate in you.

I don't wanna say
I'll stick around for you.
I just want to
keep you wanting me.
There was never need
for me to say to you
anything like
I'd get rid of me.

How's it gonna feel
when you see me gone is real?
Could you really face
quitting quite the chase,
given time to heal?
We can always say
it was you that went away.
Wish I didn't strike
Everything that I
Never did for you.

Me Again

Dunno why we're stuck in this rut.
Maybe cause we feel our door is never shut.

Why do I see you in me again?
Because we're slipping backwards.
Why don't we pretend this is the end?
Because we're falling forwards.
Not quite sure just how'll be
alone this time.

Dunno what you think you're doing
putting someone else in my shoes.
You think that will make me love you?
Now you've got another one to lose.

(Don't see what all this'll do
for us this time.)

Maybe nothing...
In fact, I'm sure that you mean
nothing to me again.
This time's the end.

(Dunno what you think you're doing
putting someone else in my shoes.)

They don't belong, like I ever did.
Good luck chasing that one.
Dunno what I did this time to get
you not giving up on
me again...

...When I gave up on you again,
so you shouldn't listen to
me again.

Screams

I am so happy to see
what you have done without me.
Nothing to do with what made you
beautiful way before
he came & trashed you all up.
None of it seems to add up.
Maybe I'm not quite as I thought
beautiful enough for

You to drag around,
quarantined & bound.
He can have what I had,
screams that make no sound.
Miss me all you want.
You can have carte blanche
over him, good riddance
to you having your shot.

Look at him get to do
everything I used to.
He doesn't like every surprise
happening because of...
You know what it's like to see
all of this because of me?
Twisting insides, feel more alive,
all because I needed

You to drag around,
quarantined & bound.
He can have what I had,
screams that make no sound.
Miss me all you want.
You can have carte blanche
over him, good riddance
to you having your shot.

[Screams that make no sound:]
Here is my tongue.
Hope you have fun
knowing you've run
out everyone.
I will die young,
'less you are done

Letting go & back again with me.
(Screams of thought that always haunt you)
Pick a side & let us both be free.
(Freedom from these dreams about you)
Cross the line too many times for

Me to care & be scared I'll
never hear your
Screams of fear for me.

Cant Stop

Draw me into you,
leading me on through,
where you can have me.
(Dreams must be lovely.)

Can't stop loving who I hate the most.
Can't stop wanting who I hurt so much.
Can't stop hating who you love the most.
Can't stop hurting who you want.

All is against you.
Want me to test you?
Results have come in.
We're both addicted.
← Back to lyrics

I Cant See You

I can't see you, you can't know me.
I will be you if there's no me.
This is what we end up doing
if I still see you inside me.

I can't see you, you can't know me.
I will be you when there's no me.
This is what we both are doing
when I still feel you inside me.

I can't see you, you can't know me.
I cannot see you beside me.

I can't see you and me side by side anymore.
