You’ve seen enough to get by with the world at times and thus Lay on ice, that’s colliding in your path and shakes beneath These little toes Cause nobody knows where it goes Shakes beneath, your little toes As the water weeps out of the flow Drip endlessly, countless voices to be heard instead of one Conversations, serving justice to a thought that’s impolite Comatose, let it rest wherever you go Barely knows, where it goes As the water weeps out of the flow Run, run away Run into the deepest forest that you see As confusion, it may drown you in a hole of misbehave Play a role, take control of anxiety troll Play a role, swirly hole Take control of the heaviest boat Drift, seamlessly Seems the only way to pass a tragedy Disobey, as you are the only captain of your ship Not too steep, don’t disrupt the sensible keep Deep beneath, below the toes See the water weeps out of its flow

Phaedo 07:28
I’m on a makeshift distress So listen I’ll tell you My body has been burdened With selfish desires This is the time I’ll discern Our conscience be piquant Be wise now, don’t you ever Be bitter or narrow I’m tired with distractions Be free from my concerns I’ll partake on new wisdom Where I’ll meet my freedom Without a doubt, I’m equipped To live the hereafter I’ll find a recollection I’ll recall and be called My body is the transit My soul is immortal Dauntlessly know I will be Affirming my wonders Predicted death will come by Without a self-destruct If there is end there is life A new mind my soul lies I’ll need a break Rest my eyes while I’m awake Take me away I will hover off astray Will find a way To pass on my grip of sense Now I will lay down and think of all my shame I’m on a makeshift transit So listen I’ll tell you My body has been burdened With selfish desires This is the time I’ll discern Our conscience be piquant Be wise now, don’t you ever Be bitter or narrow I’ll be free From your jury Please end me I’m willingly Harakiri Men’s old mistake No delusions I will be free I’ll need a break Rest my eyes while I’m awake Take me away I will hover off astray Will find a way To pass on my grip of sense Now I will lay down and think of all my shame Take me to the day I’m born I hope to meet my ancestry And hopefully, I’ll remember you If not, you know where I will be So please sit here and take my words Cause in this world I will not be needed I will serve another man So take my body

There’s another empty road Without presence of a foe Guaranteed to be blown inside I know, I know, I know that I’ll be blown There’s another empty path Desolated and in ruins, Guaranteed to appear in time I know, I know, I know you’ll be in time Take a leap and you’ll see what you need to see Lose yourself from the darkness of your shadow Will be quick, anytime you’ll get there And be a Magick Superman There’s another train to board Desolated but it’s moving Guaranteed to blow your mind I know, I know, I know it’ll blow your mind Take a leap and you’ll see what you need to see Lose yourself from the darkness of your shadow Will be quick, anytime you’ll get there And be a Magick Superman

Ominous 04:40
Think of the time When she had felt the glum Cause daddy's leaving town He told her we'll be fine It's not Compensate with lies Knowing mum is right She had to leave this house To find herself the throne Feels right Ominous all in my mind Speaking to me day and night Rounding off the flaws and spice Tasty feeds me day and night Tasty feeds me day and night Tasty feeds me day and night Think of the time To compensate with lies Knowin' mummy's right To never say goodbye I'll die

Soulless 04:31
Every day I tell myself That my demons are out to get me But I choose to cave myself Bigger demons out to get you And these demons keep telling me That they’re friends and they ought to help me Are they right or are they wrong To just fool the weakest chap This is the world I’m in Running towards a darker place Because the light would just lie to my face And as the skyscraper’s built towards the sun End is upon Our mother is crying for help Let them try to break our bond We’re compressed, Disinfest won't end us We’ve been blessed by the land of god But there are beasts trying to take this away Oh what a world it is Every day I run away From the light that just lied to my face And as the skyscraper’s built towards the sun End is upon Our mother is crying for help Soulless The soulless men have come They’ve passed on down the taxman Will there be any slaughter Will there be any bloodshed Do we have to hold ourselves down Are we fooled by their illusion Can someone spare a heart for them Can someone feed their minds

Diaspora 04:38
Taken by surprise, sold out to convince When they have complicate the things To abide the chief Leaving behind unwillingly Cause it has got to be a brisk Walking with our feet And go No... Bleat all you need but we need to be fed As they have clench their fist tied up on our wish Go, go away from here And be gone Go, home will be your fear In despond Failed despite of keeping us intact We couldn’t beg or run Or be treacherous in fact, so go Go, go away from here And be gone Go, home will be your fear In despond No, go away from here Don’t defy

Greeting a big display Of symphony and maze Wondering out of shore To breathe the foreign air But now I’ve found my lead The strangest company Disguised in a confusing way Affirm a lustful crave Do I need this part of hunger Should I open up my mind and see The only serpent that I wish to believe Is a billion miles from home I know it seems so wrong But it feels just right for me Love is another way To ease a dizzy day And know God’s watching me So I think I better behave Galeia’s touch has damned me right And her passionate behave Do I need this part of hunger Should I open up my mind and see The only serpent that I wish to believe Is a billion miles from home

Dreaming bout the face I’ve spurned Ought to dream about the perfect person to yearn Buried in our nature is to claim for the purest soul To feel content about ourselves Know that I have been amused Maybe I’m afraid if I succeed in a truce People say if you dispute be fair to yourself So I’ll be prim, impeccable to them Gestures help me please my bones No, I won’t allow someone to use my throne Deep inside I know that if I needed a lover They will be someone who’s wiser than me Chances are I’ll be amused Haunted by the time that slips away when I lose Buried in our nature is claim for the finest soul A chant for men Deep in my cells I know I’m looking for a lover that could save me from hell I can’t do this alone My eyes are looking for a lover But my mind is letting me down This quiet man stares in a lake Looking at himself to stay awake Does he know, does he know, does he know that there’s so much more He’s tryna stay awake But his mind falls into a sleepy state He’s tryna stay awake, Reminding himself why he lives today Deep in his cells He knows he’s looking for a lover that could save him from hell He can’t do this alone His eyes are looking for a lover But his mind is letting him down I can see what I want but my time is fleeting Boy you better learn before you fall into a pattern My desires will shatter if I don’t constrain it You're packing for hell when you could just drain it

about

Skyscraper Towards the Sun is the second full-length album by Golden Mammoth after 3-years of a break from ‘Metaphoric Quadraphonic’. It is a neo-psychedelia album, but slightly more diverse experimentation mixing the roots of Syabil’s music taste in Prog-Rock, Blues, Funk, Progressive pop and smooth jazz.

The album’s concept and storyline explore Syabil’s train of thoughts, being a young adult in the 21st century. Hence, the lyrics and songwriting has different themes throughout the album. He recites dealing with anxiety, death, abandonment, capitalism, and isolation. As a result, these thoughts stack up into a massive skyscraper, (a metaphor to the obsession of humans constructing tall buildings).
