by The Atlantis Theorem

joe_redshiftmn thumbnail
joe_redshiftmn An expansive and ambitious project that absolutely pays off on all fronts. The Atlantis Theorem has clearly taken serious time cultivating their own voice, but the way they have managed to blend it with so many other artists to create this piece makes it truly worthy of repeated spins. Blending pop/punk melodies and bouncy rhythms a la Paramore with prog hooks and heavy breakdowns akin to the Golden age of Dream Theater's material, any rock/metal fan would be remiss not to pick this album up.

LETS GO! It's something that you hide, but you hide it down below No one could ever find, no one will ever know See, but I know what it is, it's right behind your eyes Abhorrent like a sin, a bitter compromise So you wear it on your sleeve, hoping no one else will notice, but they notice You tried so hard to believe, so it's easier to say it’s not the right way, it’s not the right way If we could see years from now, would we be in the same places that we are? We must move on somehow If we could see years from now, would we be in the same places that we are now? We must move on somehow We’re both suffering in silence (suffering all the same) Living just to make ends meet is never where I want to be so I I'm done suffering in silence (I choose to end this pain) This is not the way we have to be Every word and thought we put to song Would be nothing without you along I hope you see that We Are All, We Are Free If we could see years from now, would we be in the same places that we are? We must move on somehow If we could see years from now, would we be in the same places that we are now? We must move on somehow We’re both suffering in silence (suffering all the same) This is not the way we have to be, we are all, we are free! I’m done suffering in silence (I choose to end this pain) This is not the way we have to be. Artwork: Natasha Primus

Keep holding out your hand Well maybe it'll save you Yeah, well I’ve been thinking is it really so bad to want to know what being all alone and living on the edge feels like sometimes Cuz lately I’ve gotten too complacent, grown too fucking jaded, building up these walls I’m trapped inside Slide down right down into whatever helps me to feel better, when everyone’s around Can you hear this sound? (You once told me we'd be better off dead Well now, I couldn't agree more Time to take it all away I've got to look, search, and find my peace in dismay) (Hey, Hey!) Burn it down, burn it down (Hey, Hey!) let’s find the beauty in the flames tonight (Hey, Hey) if they come looking for the start, they can find me by the fire with a canvas and a lighter Oh it’s been a long day, long way, long strain on anything involving happiness Cuz I’ve been dying to hit the bottom, help me with my problems, so I can begin this slow ascent Paint me make me your Mona Lisa, show me who to be then burn it to the ground, can you hear this sound? I’m screaming now (Hey, Hey!) Burn it down, burn it down (Hey, Hey!) let’s find the beauty in the flames tonight (Hey, Hey) if they come looking for the start, they can find me by the fire with a canvas and a lighter Keep holding out your hand Well maybe it'll save you Yeah, well I’ve been thinking Is it really so bad?

So for now, just listen to the waves, be calm and let the tides roll in, wash away your sins It gets better, the less you think about the day you die If it's all the same, then we’ve lost our way, we say (We say there must be a reason for the thoughts in our heads and the spaces we feel led) Because I don't have a reason why, I just know that there is something more than what we’re searching for It's the answer to questions we don't even know we have But it's all the same, then we’ve lost our way, we say (We say we know that we have to look beyond our own eyes if we're to find the truth Of the path I must take, there's not a doubt in my mind, in the end I know you’ll see) So if you open your eyes, and you start to realize there's something bigger than us floating in the sky (you’ll see) Then you’ll try to find out what it's really about, just because you have opinions, doesn't mean they're not insignificant So if you open your eyes and you start to realize Take it all in, let the past die, feel the waves when they crash let them capsize Not religious but I feel I’m getting baptized All my past crimes came together from my past lives Know the pain, you’re alone, it’s a pastime Every night you tell yourself that it’s the last time Tears keep falling, you can’t find the answers Sick of living life inside a cell, it’s a cancer I don't wanna be the one to break Trying to see the future, what’s it take People talk but I can see it’s fake Tired of being the person that I hate I’m gonna bet it all if my soul it can handle Pray I’ll make it back on my own, it's a gamble When you got your back to a wall at a standstill, never forget You're not alone (And if this world is all there is, then what are we, and if this world is all there is, then it's a long road home) Now we stand among the clouds, we walk on the shores, and we are not alone (We’ve seen all that there is to see, the dawn of the new age starts with me) Now we stand among the clouds, we walk on the shores, and we are not alone (We’ve seen all that there is to see, the dawn of the new age starts with me) We’re not alone Guest Feature: EXXE Artwork: Nicolas O'Cleirigh

I let you run away again Because it seemed like you wouldn't get that far this time See, I thought that you might settle to have a day to slip away It could fix this life of pain only in vain So now we’re on our own I’ll write the saddest song if you just sing along I’ll write the saddest song for you Because it isn't quite enough to have someone that you're in love with You went and fucked it up because you're lovesick (I can feel myself spiraling down I'm sorry lover, but I couldn't change for you now) Now we stand up on the cliff, looking down on where we used to be My heart sinks just as I realize the climb is why I feel so weak Now we stand close to the edge, thinking maybe, just maybe, there's something that could save me No other way, only thing to say is that you’ve made up your bed now, just don't forget to lay down Because it isn't quite enough to have someone that you're in love with You went and fucked it up because you're lovesick (I can feel myself spiraling down, I'm sorry lover but I shouldn't change for you now) Because it isn't quite enough to have someone that you're in love with You went and fucked it up because you're lovesick (I can feel myself spiraling down, I'm sorry lover but I wouldn't change for you now) I’ll write the saddest song if you just sing along (I'd rather be alone than be torn apart) I write the saddest song for you (I'd rather be alone) I watched you walk away Guest Feature: Levi Henry Artwork: Dillon Bauman

A gift we’ve yet to give, a risk we’ve yet to take This is life, this is love, this is pain “I love you’s” never said, a promise never made This is fear, this is hope, this is faith We keep marching on despite the overwhelming odds That say we’ll never make it, never reach it on our own We’ll try to wake them up, or let them sleep it off Either way, we’re okay with where we are (We keep marching on, we keep marching on) This is where we all belong, smothered right between the arms of the ones we choose to love But now we’re holding on so tight that we’re breaking all our bones Just to prove we are alive Have we gone too far? Or not quite far enough? This is risk, this is change, this is heart We’re never giving up, until we reach that point That we see in our hearts and in our dreams (We keep marching on, we keep marching on) This is where we all belong, smothered right between the arms of the ones we choose to love But now we’re holding on so tight that we’re breaking all our bones And it proves we are alive I know, that I’ve been the wrong one before I’m trying to make my way out of this hole If we don’t let go time won’t move on, we’ll hold on forever Guest Feature:Jason Douglas of Lake Avenue Artwork: Grace Edinger

It’s so defeating, my soul feels hollowed out But it’s how I’ve always been It’s my cage, my cell, my pen I’m living in Say “Cut the locks, bend the bars, break the wall” That’s all easier said than done Cuz it’s when I try to walk away It feels easier just to stay So the bed that I made is the grave where I’ll lay Such a shame (This pain has taken a hold of me With a grip that will never release) I’m repeating the same mistakes I’ve made (Believing I’ve come so far) And it keeps putting me back in the same place (And leaving just gets so hard) So why try when I fail (Over and over again) I’ll just hide, from myself (Hoping I can pretend) Imperfect humans being Imperfect human beings (With another breath fleeting from my lungs lost memories of being happy, of feeling whole Now I'm engulfed with this sensation of sinking, I’ve fallen into this hole) So after all this time, I’ve had enough to think Probably way too much to drink because I’m feeling every little thing The sting of knowing that I’ll never truly rest for things I know I shouldn’t have said And beliefs that poison every thought that’s in my head If all of this can’t slow me down And no drugs can shut it out Which wall will stop me now? No space for peace of mind No room for compromise No love to victimize. (What if we could be together and so free Would you give me a reason To burn it to the ground We feel so sick and now I feel like everything keeps calling me back) But if we don’t let go time won’t move on What if all you know is letting go, how can you hold on to hope? The fall didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would but it’s not over yet, The earth shifts underneath my back I wasted years of my life trying to fortify a wall that was never there So was it me or my panic attacks That broke false sense of balance, that momentary stasis It’s both deadly and beautiful to run out of solutions Remember me as a fork in the road Paint a picture in which I’m half of a feather you let go It’s drifting and fading, but if that’s how you need me Then I’m resting and longing for resolution Put bright shades on dark memories, if they show through, keep painting Keep working, forgetting, you know it’s what’s best - let go You know it’s what’s best - let go You’re half as strong as you know Guest Feature: Kyler Zachman of Hailing Andromeda Guest Feature: Gabe Reasoner of Careful Gaze Artwork: WSSG Designs

Step 1: Stare at the sun that you wish never sets so this day never ends then it goes Step 2: Hope it's not you that's the only one living in darkness convincing themselves Step 3: Try to believe that there's somehow a light where the darkness survives And it keeps on repeating It keeps on repeating The night stays the same and the darkness remains (It never changes) Living in the same damn day Over and over it seems Try to tell myself that it's not the same as yesterday This can't be all there is to life But you see it as the truth so it's really up to you so now what? Why would I rather live than die You say it's just a claim but it's really all the same to me Step 4: same as before except now there’s a hole where there once was a soul then it goes Step 5: barely alive but I’m still hanging on if not only because I Get a little sick (sick) kick out of feeling like the only one living in darkness convinced that it keeps on repeating Keeps on repeating The sun stays in place but the nightmare remains (It never changes) Living in the same damn day Over and over it seems Try to tell myself that it's not the same as yesterday This can't be all there is to life But you see it as the truth so it's really up to you so now what? Why would I rather live than die You say it's just a claim but it's really all the same to me It’s just so easy to let go But you see it as the truth so it's really up to you so now what? And if I’m gone, they’ll never know You say it's just a claim but it's really all the same to me I’ve got this feeling that I can’t outrun An inescapable darkness of dread and failure that I can’t really put to tongue It consumes me mind and soul And I know I should look for hope But oh my god why won’t it end Living in the same damn day, over and over it seems Try to tell myself that it’s not the same as yesterday This can't be all there is to life But you see it as the truth so it's really up to so now what Why would I rather live than die You say it's just a claim but it's really all the same to me. I’ve fallen far from happiness But you see it as truth so it’s really up to you This is my chance to suffer less You say it’s just a claim but it’s really all the same to me Oh my god I just want it to end Guest Feature: Athereal Rose Artwork: Dan Edinger

Lay on, the days gone by the way ‘Cause it's easy when you sit and stare at nothing Writings all along the wall that prove you know it all Something’s hiding in the silence, cull the mundane Because I had to see, it with your eyes just to believe So just know I mean it Every lie I said, that you're the only one That could ever see A Discovery It’s so easily forgotten, listen to the options That there's something that we’re missing Something so consistent Hiding right beyond our stars Waiting for us to find where we are Searching through the darkness Hoping that we stumble on a sense of purpose But some words are never said Some books are never read (Life goes by and fades in time) But we need some meaning in our lives Someone to fall behind Something to tell us why Are we even alive? And it keeps calling me, calling me back, the only other way from that is try to Hold on to reason and save some face And it keeps calling me, calling me back, (I'll never be the same) So I hold on to reason and save some face Guest Feature: Tim Martin Artwork: Trey Korte

We locked eyes from across the room I know just what you're thinking Why’s it suddenly so hard to breathe Feels kinda like you're sinking Hopefully you can see you're better off behind me This only ever ends one way Silent and wishing you can be the one to save me I don’t think there’s any other way to say it (I don’t need you) It's easier for you I don't know what it means when you're holding me tightly Tired of staying up late Trying to keep head straight Cuz something has changed, nothing is the same for me But I've got some things I need to say But you keep holding so tightly It's best we go our separate ways And this is the reason My heart is breaking after thinking about all this time, I was never really ready Compelled to fake it until we made it into something right but I've seen the signs You know me all too well That’s why I'm never really ready And this love was bound to fail And you understand I won't hold my breath If no one’s listening, can you hear me out there Hold your breath You're only getting stronger, it's not getting any harder I don't know what it means when you're holding me tightly And this is the reason Guest Feature: Catherine Lexvold of Breakthrough Guest Feature Kevin Buschkowsky of Ithomiid Artwork: Trevor Skarie

Remember when he said “I’ll relieve you of this pain that you're holding cause I know what you're going through” You said “No thank you sir, I'm doing just fine” because you didn't want anyone wasting your time so You sit at home feeling so low that you can barely stand Start to regret, second guessing what it could have meant You'll never know, you'll never understand because you didn't want anyone wasting your precious time No second chance So wanderer, wander my way again There's so many words that we left unsaid Divided, yet offered in to services unlike Our distorted, contorted excuses for our lives Complicit, yet explicitly ignoring all the signs Obsessive, possessive, for everything we hide (In retrospect, you acquiesce, I had demons in my eyes) I couldn't live my life as if there's any other way) As if there's any other way (The choices that I made define me, As if there's any other way) As if there's any other way Way back when you said “I know the truth” I didn't want to know if there was a better way I just want to know tomorrow is coming Way back when you said “I know the truth” I didn't want to know if there was a better way I just want to know tomorrow’s still coming When you said “I know the truth” I want to know if there was a better way Please just just tell me that tomorrow’s still coming Guest Feature: Ben Hintz of The Bad Man Artwork: Alexis Politz

Here I am, at the edge, the edge of time Just as the colors bleed, the canvas collapses around every dream The heaviest reds begin to fall, cover up the ground and shade everything in violet And then it fades to blue and grey The world flickers gold just as it starts to decay Its darkening, coloring everything But then the brightest of greens grow out of every seam until it’s blank (But black and white, they absorb and reflect, they live in it all, Disappear and connect the dots that lead the way down a journey of all that will start to decay) If we’re endlessly expanding into another stage of life Then where do we gain our peace of mind When everything that we love we outgrow in time So no I don’t think it matters one way when everything starts to fade away There’s no point to the things we go through since everything’s staged Yet we’re always, always wondering We are, we are Always, always wandering We are, we are (Here I am at the edge of time) Always, always wondering (Here I am at the edge of time) We are, we are, we are All Artwork: Sharron Doran

about

WE ARE ALL…

This started as an idea. It was first mentioned jokingly but the more we thought about it, the more we realized just how many amazing artists and musicians call Minnesota home. The idea of involving 22 individual creators to be a part of this humble collection of music began to change the scope of what we were trying to accomplish and what we were capable of.

We Are All...isn't just an album of songs anymore. It is not a simple submission of music but a collective of minds that wanted something bigger. It is a showcase of amazing skill, incredible talent, and unfathomable dedication to the love of art and music.

11 songs
11 guest musical features
11 visual artists

All living, creating, and performing locally as part of the amazing music and arts scene in Minnesota.

We Are All...was the product of 3 people thinking that that no matter what, we are in this world together. No matter the social status, state of being, or location you call home, we are all living as humans together. With this idea, we brought together this massive collaborative project and now it is here for all to witness.
