Dreaming Awake (Oneiric Delirium)

Oneiric delirium blurs waking and dreaming, causing dreamlike perceptions to be mistaken for objective reality. The track drifts between fragile imagery and anchorless rhythms to evoke that slippage and its unsettling consequences. A doom/death metal track that begins with ethereal clean guitars and drifting synths, then plunges into distorted riffs and unpredictable tempo changes. Vocals alternate between dreamy whispers and forceful growls. Song structure shifts between reverie and chaos, expressing confusion between dreaming and waking states.

Lyrics

      
Floating through shifting night,
Boundless dream, unanchored light.
I reach for the morning’s touch
But slide back again into the hush.
Are my eyes open, or are they blind?
Is this a memory or simply my mind
Building worlds that swirl and bend—
Doors to places that never end?
Up is down, and in is out.
Through a fog of doubts,
Am I waking, or just falling
Into the depths, no recalling?
Rooms morph with every breath,
Walls dissolve in silent death.
Faces flicker and then fade—
I stumble in twilight, disobeyed.
A hand reaches out from mist and dream,
Voices call in fractured beam.
Shadows whisper, edges drift—
Reality and slumber shift.
Am I lost in sleep’s embrace
Or cursed to wake in nameless place?
Shifting lands—a spinning mind,
Truth and vision intertwine.
Every second reshapes itself,
Gravity breaks, thought melts.
Caught in a waking night,
I fade between the real and right.
Let me dream or let me go,
Between two worlds—I do not know.
Lost, suspended in the gleam—
Dreaming awake, alive in the dream.
