about

"I thought about this path I ended up on, in which I gathered the very basics to stay the course and survive. I was sold a dream, but it wasn’t my dream. I thought about how in my darkest hours I found myself surrounded by the exact same type of person.This song is about confronting your own demons, but it’s also about axing down the outer obstacles. Musically the song is quite challenging, the chords shift in odd places and there’s a couple tempo/timing changes. I made a commitment to keeping the first take on every track in order to preserve a sense of raw emotion that tends to get lost with repetition.”

lyrics

You get burrows to lead the trail
Obsidian and wood for fire
But you’ll never know the way
And you’ll never be retired
Trudging from town to town
A jester escaping the mire
And if your worn knees should fail you
You can beg for a real life
But I don’t have to
I don’t need to turn you on
You get nothing when I’m done
There is no bellowing conscious in your life
There is no lingering sorrow in that twisted mind
There are no voices of reason in your fortress
There is no virtue repenting from your fiery shroud
I’m just a pillar that saves you
I’m just a pillar that turns you on
I am the pillar of darkness in your life

On Chemical Trance, the Montreal musician taps into that holy intersection of divine and mortality, confronting his own vulnerabilities in a beautiful cacophony that, at times, recalls Pink Floyd, late-era Beatles, Leonard Cohen and Radiohead. Yet, somehow, is uniquely Patrick Krief.
