Near the end of an album (or rather, the first half of the album) filled with songs containing erratic drum patterns and fast lyrics, Ectypes is a remarkably calm and peaceful song. It’s easy to draw a comparison with the song “Akira” on Limb2 this way. This comparison is supported even further when...
Maybe you're not who you thought you were
You spent some years, on earth somewhere
You have got photographs and history
Know many a branch on your family tree
Maybe you have been asleep
And every picture you keep
Shows just one of a million sights
Know your wrongs, know your rights
You live out every probability
To the best of your ability
Live them all, at the same time
At the same time
No one knows who they really are
Nobody knows who they really are
No one knows who they really are
You know who you are
