about

The new journey begins. Sesak, the first track of this new release, depicts the happenings and realization of the idea behind the The Odd Futurist's decision to make the journey from a future time from his home planet to our planet at present times, all in the hopes of saving planet earth and its habitants.

Sesak, means Suffocation in Malay.

lyrics

SESAK

The tree, withered and decayed,
sprawls its rot across the lands
to bind outstretch arms with pestilent faces
and their ravenous mouths devouring sand.

You clawed greedily at the tree,
the primordial sustenance of human ingenuity.
Stripping away the barks, tearing at the leaves.
The noose ever tighter, freedom always out of reach.

The first horn has been blown,
Hot hard wind blasting down your temple doors.
And you couldn’t move, trapped under moans
of leaders fighting over the thinning reality of borders.

Slips of silver glimpses disappearing into the greying skies.
You left us here gasping, the mad crowd embraces strangulation.
What we consume, then consumes us.
And your first sign was
Suffocation.
