about

We are the personification of duality.
Besides our inner moral compass and conscience, we're torn between life's choices, walking a thin line between falling either way. Societies' expectations, social-, religious-, political- and moral factions also burn expectation onto us.
We all know what is right and wrong, and need to find our way accordingly, teetering that fine balance between chaos and order.
We all sometimes feel like we just want to disconnect from it all and and just "be"...
The beats / programming / percussion layers structure was created in 2000 (and the riff recorded as a demo), the lyrics were written in 2003 and the bass guitars and vocals were re-recorded in 2017).

lyrics

DISKONNEKT
(Music & lyrics by Paul Blom - c 2000 / 2003 / 2017)

Sometimes - I want to
Disconnect myself

How thin the line
And blurry the border
We're the balance entwined
Between chaos and order

Between pain & ecstasy
Love & hate
Between madness & sanity
- Lies us

Between failure / success
Rich & poor
Between moderation & excess
- Lies us

Between wrong & right
To defend or to fight
Between blindness & sight
- Lies us

Sometimes - I want to
Disconnect myself

How thin the line
And blurry the border
We're the balance
Between chaos and order

Between good & evil
Heaven & Hell
Between man & animal
- Lies us

Between yesterday's news
And the lies of tomorrow
Between opposing views
- Lies us

Between bliss & sorrow
To force or to choose
Between beg & borrow
- Lies us

Sometimes - I want to
Disconnect myself

How thin the line
And blurry the border
We're the balance entwined
Between chaos and order

Order / Chaos

Between joy & sadness
War & peace
Between vengeance - forgiveness
- Lies us

Between the soul and the flesh
Dirty & clean
Between rotten & fresh
- Lies us

Between darkness & light
Pious & obscene
Weakness & might
- Lies us

Chaos / Order

Between fact & fiction
Probability & chance
Between harmony & friction
- Lies us

Between hit & miss
Black & white
Between serious and taking the piss
- Lies us

Between wisdom / stupidity
The calm & the storm
Between humanity - barbarity
- Lies us

How thin the line
And blurry the border
We're the balance entwined
Between chaos and order

Sometimes - I want to
Disconnect myself

Order / Chaos

about

F8 Cape Town, South Africa

in 1997 V.O.D drummer Paul bought a bass guitar while the band was touring Europe (with Katatonia and In The Woods). On returning to South Africa he started creating music on his own terms, with no restrictions. Anything goes. Coining the term Tekno-Grind for this solo project (which only utilizes bass guitars), the initial intention for what it would sound like resulted in an eclectic beast! ... more
