A precious vision, caught between dividing eyes That separate the just from the wicked I guess, I haven't been the only one without A lonely specter of sweet sorrow In the wombs of the virgin Lest the city sleeps in the fetus of modernity I guess, I haven't been able to drink it all away  The eyes of the gate Watch me as I stare at the sidewalk In the urban forest, of which I walk, head down In a trance-like, monotonous state of confusion Denying that they are there for my protection Is like denying God But who are you to judge me? But who are you to worry about my suffering?  There is a hole in the world that keeps us tied together The fascists, the leftists, the anarchists and the precious People who I daresay I envy Their apathy to the progress Has left me with wounds Wounds that will never be carved again The eyes of the gate Watch me as I stare at the sidewalk In the urban forest, of which I walk, head down In a trance-like, monotonous state of confusion Denying that they are there for my protection Is like denying God But who are you to judge me? But who are you to worry about my suffering?

love me as I rest in a bed of roses as I lie naked in the doorway drifting off to sleep or waking to a new life dreaming that i can escape into the darkened night sky with the light of a fire burning the wicker grave where I lie stargazing love me as I look into your eyes quiet as the shoreline returning to the edge of a floating world be- hind my eyes drinking liquor with her christ in petty chapel pews vomiting the porcelain lies confided in burning embers of a child left sinking in the river under the world love me in the morning after the excited body wanes into the after- life as a new creation takes the place of god and my flesh in unison create the endless sphere where you only exist for a moment then drift and are placed upon my naked body underwater and we may float to another dawning world to drink another love me for a moment (baby I'm tired) can't you fucking hear my words protruding through the depressed dirt where I linger with the footprints of a gypsy universe examining my corpse for gold and trinkets of meaningless nothing since we're dead and sinking exhausted waste in a bottle of brandy that god is drinking as we're left naked, swimming...
6.	The Last Surrealist - Exiled Into Nothingness 05:14	lyrics	buy track
you will be exiled from this existence and you will die most importantly, you will take your own life you will be exalted at the end of this  in a palace  overlooking the firmament you will watch your family burned alive as ghosts place your neck in chains you will be exalted at the end of this in a palace  lit by the warmest flames  swimming towards a bright light  a distant beckoning beacon on the skyline  too distant for your fragile arms to reach  so you drown like a sleeping child   in the terror of the night you will be exiled from this existence and you will die you will take your own life   you will be exalted at the end of this  in a palace  with no memory of ever being in this place
7.	The Last Surrealist - Death Meditations 05:37	lyrics	buy track
i just want to be alone with myself and hide under the water like its a coat its so cold, i’m a ghost you cannot see me, it’s so freeing to be without the urgency to be inside of my home where i’m most comfortable i walk around naked just to feel something no shoes, no shirt, nobody cares if at the end of the day i am still here i find myself getting angry with the notion that i have to live another sixty years with this weight on my chest my family is dead, and my friends are for nothing but to pass the time until i’m in a better place under this water i almost feel like everything could be okay but i’m actually feeling pretty suicidal today so i’ll keep dreaming about living like i’m deceased then i won’t have to feel anything
8.	The Last Surrealist - In Our Blood Surrendered to Holy Walls of Fire 04:34	lyrics	buy track
in a distant village bed  a woman’s eyes change color  as death the conqueror comes  in the form of invisible fire   to consume the earth  in a deluge of shadow  dancing with her in a crypt  crippling her flesh, but what if…   she becomes immaterial  a metaphysical being  unseen until the next morning  in eternal chains of misery   she is my love with firm roots  snuffed out in a dark room  by invisible fire pouring   like wine over me   fog rolls over the hillside  i thought i saw her in a dream  i can sense this agony i can sense her defeat   death will always leave us asunder if only for a moment  until like a newborn i experience   the sweet release that enables us  to love one another  even if we will only become ether bound to the eternal chains of misery   to drown one another  in our blood surrendered  to holy walls of fire in our blood surrendered  to holy walls of fire in our blood surrendered  to holy walls of fire in our blood surrendered to holy walls of fire  to holy walls of fire  to holy walls of fire

about

A split EP with reflections on a theme of death, depression, and the nature of existence. Experimental in nature as each track diverges and fuses inward towards one another creating a spiral of sound and emotion.

Meditations Urbaines is a post black metal artist that has created tracks that relay a sensation of longing, melancholy, and some could argue glimmers of optimism. On the contrary, The Last Surrealist provides music rooted in neo-folk and ambient genres providing a bleaker and more depressing contrast.
