about

The piano departs for the remainder of the EP. Here, instead we have a grungier feel with a gut-punching chorus as our protagonist meets the second character in the story.

lyrics

If I were ever really gonna be
I'd be the one who started
(If I were ever really gonna be)
(I'd be the one who started)
From some time ago
I'd lost myself
(From some time ago)
(I'd lost myself)
In a gradient of yellow green
Put back the other puzzle
(In a gradient of yellow green)
(Put back the other puzzle)
Or I'll lose again
And I don't mind
(Or I'll lose again)
(And I don't mind)

"I've died a hundred times it seems"
Said the man who could have seen right through me
Said “I've lived this kind of life for me”
But it seems my world would end
“I've got this River flowing through me”
“I've paid my way. So let it carry me”
Yeah

The other day I sat and thought about the seasons
How will I fair
Will serendipity find my hand
And tell me that it's worth it

Rolling fades in calm reflection
A soliloquy becomes one with the falls
Wash up and steady myself in routine

Cause I've tried a thousand times you know
He sat there just listening to me
I gotta just live this life for me
And for this world I've got to know
Why this river flowing through me
Paid it's way and still relents to me
Yeah

(Oo)
Pitter patter pitter patter (Whoa)
One who motions forward forward (Yeah)
Why set a course along Paraná (Whoa)
Through the South of my knowledge (Whoa)
Woe (Whoa)
Don't get carried away (Yeah)

In my eyes, this is nothing short of freedom
And I can't explain anymore
Cause all that is words that say no more
Who tells me what defines that freedom
River flowing through me
I can't pay with all that's left inside me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'd hide away a million times from it all
Annihilating the pressure of the modern world
But it's not ingenious letting go of this world
No I'm preparing for it all
Rivers flowing through me
Each day I find a part of me
Yeah yeah yeah

about

Nihil Admirari New York, New York

We've been together for 4+ years now, living and working in NYC through school, in the work force, on the grind and through the pandemic. But we're a trio, and we want to be a quartet. Only then will be fully become what this band was meant to be.

We are Nihil Admirari, a Post Punk rock bank with our own rules and our own way of doing things.

Luv U Bye Bye
