﹙ ✟ ﹚ a study in: being imprisoned by your own thoughts and creations , navigating fame and mental illness , the manifestations of your dreams and nightmares , coping through music and other substances because making art is easy when you write what you know , running but not being able to hide , not seeing your own reflection in the mirror.

dear insanity: if you are reading this , we have ventured too far off into our minds. everything that we thought was a dream is now real —— even nightmares. my time is running out. but yours has just begun. but don't worry ; i'll find a way to come back. i always do.
the mind is a very powerful tool , perhaps more powerful than we have even believed —— and are still discovering. but what exactly is a mind that is so powerful , and so broken , capable of ? the possibilities are endless. enter ezra myung: a man most commonly known as the powerhouse behind seraph. a band hailing from australia that caught waves for the fact that their frontman is , for the most part , solely responsible for most parts heard on each record. their genre isn't singularly identifiable , and is a topic constantly up for debate —— especially from the basement dwellers that spend their days in the metal subreddit and proclaim anything without blast beats or strictly growling vocals as not real metal. while the first album held heavy roots within the metalcore genre ( example: one. two. ) , the second began to branch out ( example: one. two. ) —— and his most recent work is a mixture of anything and everything , ranging from synth rock to dark pop. ( example: one. two. ) there are many reoccurring themes in his lyrics ; most notably failed relationships , self destructive tendencies , and mental health —— and he certainly isn't shy about these topics in his music , as writing them down and turning them into something creative is his most valuable outlet. but he isn't shy about talking about his struggles either. he will openly discuss things such as his depression and bipolar disorder and the details behind them during interviews with as much honesty as he's able. though to avoid being deemed genuinely crazy —— he obviously will claim that the fantasy world he has created for his latest album , is simply another coping technique in order to symbolize his mental illnesses.
the other side began as what he thought were lucid dreams ; the kind that are fun and full of colors and butterflies like something from an alice in wonderland trip. but hand in hand with dreams comes nightmares ; the kind with disturbing creatures that make you wake up in a sweat with your heart beating out of your chest. of course , these dreams weren't just dreams —— and this realization came when he began finding himself waking up with souvenirs. souvenirs similar to those he would often find after a sudden blackout due his disorder ; cuts , bruises , blood. except this time he remembers how he got them , he remembers receiving them in his dream. the mind is a very powerful tool —— and the other side is a very real dimension that has slowly materialized from the most beautiful and the most dangerous parts of his own.
but curiosity is also very powerful , and so sleeping pills began aiding in his journeys to visit it more frequently. though just because you can ; doesn't mean you should. because the longer he stays and the more doors he unlocks —— the more he begins losing his sanity. things and beings from this universe begin seeping into his reality , and it becomes more difficult to know what's real and what's in his mind. sticking to what he knows best: he writes about it. with the help of alcohol , drugs , a warm body —— anything that will distract him.
