Today marks the tenth anniversary of my debut EP, DAY ONE, and when this project turned from a hobby to something I could seriously see myself doing more with.
And honestly looking back on it, I feel the years have not been kind to it. My vocal range was much narrower back then compared to now, the mixing was pretty lackluster (it sounded great through my headphones, but PC speakers? oof), and overall far too rough-sounding. Don't get me wrong, I'm still pretty proud of that release, but over time, I've always felt that I could have done much better, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it the sound I was originally aiming for back in 2011.
Initially, I was going to remake the entire EP, but the other three tracks in DAY ONE wouldn't be able to exist in the same form if made today. Not to say those ideas won't get repurposed elsewhere; I still have an old harddrive from that time full of unreleased songs and unfinished projects, they too might get the redux/repurpose treatment soon...?
As for DAY ONE itself, I'm still keeping it public, but only for archive's sake:

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Stuck inside this circle, this is not the fate that I need
I don't want to hurt you: Why should I bite the hand that feeds?
I cannot escape this however I'm forced to take heed
With you I feel broken, but yet I will feel so complete?
[Chorus]
And this is as cold as I'll ever be
And I'll soon be back in your arms
The warmth of your breath is just teasing me
'Cause I secretly know that you mean all harm.
[Verse 2]
Stuck inside this circle, trapped within the walls you create
I don't want to leave you, yet I want to write my own fate
I cannot accept this, however I'm forced to fight through
With me you feel nothing, but alone I can't continue
{rpt Chorus}
{Solo}
[Chorus 2A]
All the times I want to scream but there is no sound
All this paradise you promised, it's just a shroud
[Verse 3]
Designed to imperfection. It starts to break
Sentience from our feelings. You start to make
Sense of all destruction. You start to take
Control of my direction - Being of hate...
[Chorus 2B]
All the times I want to scream but there is no sound
All this paradise you promised is just a shroud
Chaos defines your meaning in leaps and bounds
If order defies all being, I'll be here watching when it all falls down
[Verse 4]
Do you even dare to see the other side to your "will-be"...
{rpt Chorus 2B}
(I'll be here watching when it all falls down)
[Bridge]
(I'll be here watching when it all falls down)
(I'll be here watching when it all falls down...)
[Verse 5 (x2)]
Admit defeat now — You will give in to my will
Exist for me now — Submission's part of the thrill
Circling inward — Gravity is my constant
Bow down to me now — I am everything to you
You'll never escape me
