‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

"She's Made of Wires": Color Theory’s Lament on the Loss of Passion in a World of Machines

"She's Made of Wires" by Color Theory

In a world where flesh and metal merge, Color Theory sings of a love that’s forged by wires and circuits, not by hearts and souls. He loves a robot, but he can’t ignore the emptiness he feels, the longing for a human touch, a spark, a flame, a glow.
He wonders what he’s missing, what he’s gained by choosing a companion made by brains and not by passion, joy, or tears, or woe. His song is a reflection, a lament on how we might forget what love has meant if we rely on machines to fill the hole.
With synths from the past and melodies that stir, Color Theory, or Brian Hazard, paints a picture of loneliness and longing in a world of fake and blur, and how we seek the real in a sea of glitter.
