Oh, the audacity of those tentacled overlords, the almighty octopus rulers of the universe! In their watery dominion, they've woven a complex web of power and manipulation, all while we oblivious land-dwellers go about our mundane lives. With their infinite arms, they control the currents of destiny, shaping the very tides of our existence. From the depths of the oceans, they silently pull the strings of world events, orchestrating their grand aquatic symphony. Are we mere pawns in their cephalopodian game, ignorant of the true scope of their influence? It's time we recognized the supreme intelligence of our eight-armed overlords and pondered whether we are but unwitting participants in their grand aquatic conspiracy.

You have an almost Aesop Rock kind of flow and lyricism man. :) This is impressive. Both lyrically and instrumentally. Timing and annunciation could maybe be a bit more on point sometimes, it doesn't always feel like it follows the instrumental, and I didn't catch all words on the first listen, but overall this is on point!

I wonder if complex word schemes need to be all this complex though? It's impressive to witness, but it seems like complexity maybe trumps meaning; you don't follow the intention or story as much sometimes. With Aesop for example there's often a clear red thread all the way through, even if the subject matter occasionally flies over your (well, MY) head. Here sometimes I wonder if the words are more there to sound good than to really tie things together; they occasionally make it harder to follow along, but maybe that's just me, might need to hone my ears and vocabulary a bit harder... I do love the theme. It does have a red thread.

Good stuff anyhow! Production quality's on point too.

Thanks bro! Aes is definately an inspiration of mine. While I normally find that he's too dense for me to fully immerse myself in, I can definitely see his genius and find myself able to fixate on single lines from him and get deal of inspiration.

This song was interesting as I normally don't go as verbose with the vocabulary and occult references, but the theme had this beckoning for them I found. Kind of got to have fun and pull up references and moods that stuck with me from my exploring of the conspiracy theory circuit/circus. While there is a meaning attributed to those funkier words, there definitely is an element of fun and aesthetic, but the theme seemed to call for it so I felt ok leaving it in that murky (giving it more that popcorn type lyricism than the more deep/profound).

Daaamn, that beat is fire! That yours?

Love the lyrics here. You always bring some fresh bars!

Anjovi responds:

Thanks Libby! This was one of my koala sampler beats that I tried to record into fl for mastering. haha, you can tell if i ever do this by the high frequency humming that goes off in the recording.

Yeah, I'd reccomend it to anyone given how affordable it is and how that sp-404 workflow can help spur some ideas and give you a new modality to mess with your music (those fx)

Oh my Most High 👹

Anjovi responds:

Aw yeah :D

Sick! Love the vocab

Anjovi responds:

Thanks bro! Glad to finally finish this one :D
