Nick Soma - Deified

Hands reaching out
To grab a piece of the sky
Falling out of reality
Drowned in a sea of lies

Like the changing tide
Yesterday's heroes will be vilified
Demonized
Charismatic, narcissistic
Another one's ascending the throne

Hoping to be deified
Deified in holy waters
Coming alive
Apotheosized

If I had the key
I'd leave the door open
For you to see
But I don't know where I lost it

Scary times
It seems so hard for you to realize
Antagonized
Machiavelli said it's better
To be feared than loved

And it's best to be deified
Deified in holy waters
Coming alive
Apotheosized

Deified
Deified, these brave young soldiers
Coming alive
Apotheosized
Deified
Deified in holy waters
Once they have died
Apotheosized

really like this one, I'm glad you ended up leaving a ton of space in the mix (intentionally or not) as it creates a really interesting vibe and your voice sounds great with the wobbly guitars and glockenspiel weaving around it. I love the way most of the lyric feels quite intellectual and then you've got "scary times" in there, that made me smile. I think this is my favourite of the round and definitely up there with the best I've heard from you.

Quite a pleasant mournful rock song. The jangling guitars drive the chord progression forward effectively and the vocals are well written and well executed. Not sure about the congas, but a switch-up in the arrangement is usually welcome. Nice touch with the glock too. I had a hard time deciding who to rank higher between you and Cavedwellers, as their production is a touch shinier, but your stronger lyrics/melody gave this song the edge.
