about

This song was played live at our last few shows, but was previously never recorded. Fun fact: I have no idea what the lyrics were about. So now the lyrics are about me not knowing what the lyrics were about.

lyrics

If words once chimed beside these notes
They've long since faded in the mist
Left no trace of what they had said, or that they even exist
Nebulous at best in our minds, no resounding echo to find
A faint glimmer all but reminds, so I'm left in a bind

Perhaps the greatest phrases ever spoken, sung, or scribed
Perhaps profound wisdom that would improve anyone's life
Perhaps direct delivery, maybe in intricate rhyme
The only certainty is the answer is lost to time

The only thing I know is that I don't
The thing I hate the most is that I won't

Even etched in stone
The meaning is lost if the context is gone
The gist resists, exists withdrawn

(Solo written by Eddie Collachi)

In dreams and memories things past will live again
The answer, as the question, will surface from within
I know that what I seek is deep beneath, in there somewhere
And if it's on my deathbed I will find the truth I swear

Abintra Pelion, South Carolina

Abintra was a metal band based in Pelion from 2007ish to 2010ish, or something like that. This page exists to host "Greatish Hits"- a compilation of rerecorded tracks that were made to showcase just how talented I believe we were.
