I SEE STARS - D4MAGE DONE

After a six-year hiatus, the band is back, bringing their signature electronic hardcore sound to the forefront, leaving fans eager for more.
The lyrics of "D4MAGE DONE" coupled with the music video paint a vivid picture of the complexities of navigating a world saturated with technology.

Frontman Devin Oliver finds himself trapped in an endless maze, representing the feeling of being stuck in the digital labyrinth. The speeding car mirrors the information overload and constant bombardment we experience daily. The swarm of people attacking Oliver reflects the harsh criticism and scrutiny rampant in the online realm.
The lyrics "Need you to pull me out/Pull me out/To the now" echo Oliver's plea to break free from the virtual prison and embrace the present moment. It's a powerful cry for authenticity in a world dominated by the allure of the online realm.
