Buy My Book 04:35
I’ve been yearning to travel To see more then my imagination Can unravel I’ve trapped inside of this bubble Create an endless world of trouble, i deserve Dream to break free Dream to be anything anything other than me Redefine redesign everything that wasn’t mine I’ve been losing time i’ve been losing time x2 Being in the present creating an effervescence as a lesson that was growing that was not not quite my own Not quite my own Release to life a future As a knowledge that past through ya Had a way with the words I know just was not quite my own Not quite my own Take all that i am Put it in a bag Throw it down stream Watch it flow watch it grow Like it was never me I’ll be re born to live the life I knew See my birth vision i’ll create my future create the life i have I’ve taken numbers out of books let them show my how to look Let them watch the way i eat Now i’m gonna show you to breath

Hold yourself back Is the way that we’ve learned from birth Lose your minds track is the greatest escape on earth Folding your wings you try loosen your ties to the world against I am the hand that grabs tearing down sunken hearts break the noose again sold, holding your wings you try loosen your ties to the world Strong men don’t cry Is the way that we’ve learned from birth Stand tall don’t cry As they’ve sold all you own to the grave Bleed yourself blind Is the greatest escape on earth Safe in my life Now we throw all we’ve earned at the gate Folding your wings you try loosen your ties to the world against I am the hand that grabs tearing down sunken hearts break the noose again sold, holding your wings you try loosen your ties to the world Strong men don’t cry Is the way that we’ve learned from birth Stand tall and cry Is the greatest escape on earth

Hope falls debt inthralld A design faulty at source Old world minds in decline, take us with them Our resource, broken bleeding dry Brake take all is lost A design faulty at source Built on greed has no need of your weakness Broken down countless sleepless nights Suitably dressed painfully depressed New fiscal studies reveal nothing Can count on my thumb all the battles you’ve won New fiscal studies reveal nothing Cradle to the grave cradle to the grave I’ll lose my lose myself and say i’m ok Lose yourself and mind losing everything you’ve ever noticed I’m ok I’m ok Cradle to the grave cradle to the grave I’ll lose my lose myself and say i’m ok Lose yourself and mind losing everything you’ve ever noticed I’m ok I’m ok

Hold on tight as you float on down stream I’m ok with your wondering Make your will grow more than you can tell I never said what you needed to here Brake yourself lose as you float on in the cold And I don’t say nothing I'm losing my way Hold yourself as you cry on command I’m ok with your wandering eye Smooth every crack i’ve been in through yours heart Never said what you needed to here If i don’t say nothing i’ll lose myself again And I don’t stand quiet and smile if you offend There’s nothing I would rather to share Yeah I’m Ok If i don’t say nothing i’ll lose myself again And I don’t stand quiet and smile if you offend If i don’t say nothing i’ll lose myself again And I don’t stand quiet and smile if you offend Yeah yeah I’m Ok

Dont wanna strain don’t wanna know just why don’t wanna sing some dark twisted lullaby I’m holding on, and i’m losing song Dont wanna strain don’t wanna know just why don’t wanna sing some dark twisted lullaby I’m holding on, and i’m losing song Dont wanna strain don’t wanna know just why don’t wanna see that look from between your eyes I’m holding on, and i’m losing song Don’t wanna fuck don’t wanna strain don’t wanna mind don’t wanna contrude don’t wanna hate don’t wanna lose Cos i’m white and i’m wired and i’ve got nothing left to lose And You’re white and your wired got nothing left prove got nothing left to lose And the world don’t say that i’m wired to long and i’m wired this way I’m holding on, and i’m losing song Die die

Look at me and my little Pink raft Slowly drifting out to see The binds of tyranny release Bend, crack my bow at the seems Your sisters a terrorist we can taste it in her blood as we sacrifice her to revenge our british british guilt And she screams Would you like me to smile while you fuck me

about

My Octopus Mind have developed a wild form of experimental rock using balkan rhythms mixed with heavy psychedelic post-punk, wonky riffs and moments of haunting grace. All of this is delivered with a subversive approach to songwriting at its heart.

2019 was an explosive year in which they self released their debut album Maladyne Cave with a series of music videos:

“...as arresting as they are uncompromising” - Louder Than War

"A warped and psychedelic vibe with hints of King Gizzard" - Mystic Sons

What looks deceptively like a jazz trio of double bass, guitar, drums and vocals, quickly reveals itself to be anything but. Izy Ellis’ big hollow Bull Fiddle (known to some as a double bass) growls through his spaceship of noisy effects, underpinning the jagged rampant shimmer of Liam O’Connell’s guitar, which in turn jousts with the frenetic driving drums of Captain ‘I-can’t-sit-still’ Oliver Cocup.

“Their repertoire is unabashedly dramatic, expressing equal parts wilted melancholy, growling anger, and a playful abrasion." - Live review from Bristol 24/7

“If the Mars Volta owned a combine harvester...” - Random Audience Member
