THEOCRACY - Flicker (Official Lyric Video)

Taken off the album “Mosaic“ 🎧 Stream, get it here: Matt Smith: “’Flicker’ was one of the first tracks written for the “Mosaic“ album. A fish-out-of-water tale of brutal honesty, the lyrics are a bit more straightforward and candid than usual from me, but that’s what felt most authentic in the moment. Musically, it’s aggressive, melodic, and fast, and sits somewhere slightly different for us, I think. It seemed like an obvious choice for opening track of the record.“ ▶ FOLLOW @ATOMIC FIRE 🛒 YouTube Instagram Facebook Twitter TikTok ▶ FOLLOW @THEOCRACY Web: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: Music & Lyrics: Matt Smith Recorded & mixed by Matt Smith at Theocracized Studios and Full Moon Studios Mastered by Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at The Lodge, NY Video produced by Ingo Spörl THEOCRACY is: Matt Smith - Vocals Taylor Washington - Lead Guitar Jonathan Hinds - Guitar Jared Oldham - Bass Ernie Topran - Drums Lyrics: FLICKER Sometimes I feel like I just don’t belong here Like a shadow cast from a time long past I’m swallowed up and dissipating I feel so out of phase and so invisible It’s disorienting, alienating Little stranger, welcome to the world Do you ever feel like you just don’t belong here? Me I’ve always known this isn’t home I’m starting to feel so disconnected A stranger in a strange and growing ever stranger land In a world that I don’t understand So misdirected Trapped inside a world that buried Mozart in a pauper’s grave And said, “Give us Barabbas,”crucified Christ and turned away Electing fools to lead us Rejecting truth, see us spiraling down Shall we enter the last days? Out of place and out of time Oh tell me what’s the value of a life In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways I can’t shake the feeling I just don’t belong But we flicker for a moment Flicker for a moment, then we’re gone I don’t belong here I don’t belong here Pleasure slaves indulging every manner of perversion If technology’s the god we feed, our sacrifice is full submersion Lifelong friendships ended over stupid politicians All the rhetoric and superstitions Life on a screen, a simulated world that buried Mozart in a pauper’s grave And said, “Give us Barabbas,” crucified Christ and turned away This world feels so synthetic Lost apathetic While tragedy vampires drink blood of the fallen Out of place and out of time Oh tell me what’s the value of a life In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways I can’t shake the feeling I just don’t belong But we flicker for a moment Flicker for a moment, then we’re gone Centuries of deep corruption led to compromise Practicing a counterfeit morality, the great disguise and I don’t belong here I’m just a weary traveler This world has lost sight of the value of a life Out of place and out of time Oh tell me what’s the value of a life In a modern day and age where monsters cling to evil ways I can’t shake the feeling I just don’t belong But we flicker for a moment Flicker for a moment, then we’re… #theocracy #mosaic #flicker #atomicfirerecords
