FoxPuppy Like many "retro" bands, Thought Beings have the palette of the 80s and early 90s down, but the original artists back then weren't trying to generate nostalgia, they were trying to create songs, make people think things they've never thought before, and they weren't afraid to get weird with it, and that is something Thought Beings gets on a level far beyond the average "retro" band. They're not here to play remember when. They're here to show you the futures you forgot about.

JOEY P-DUB I've been stoked on this album since before it dropped. I've listened to it so many times and feel it's nothing short of a masterpiece.

"Turn it up if your heart still beats" Favorite track: Ancient Artifact.

aerowolfmusic Independence suits TB. I never had them as conformist.

Also that kick drum on Ancient Artifact. Like a slap to the face. Favorite track: Ancient Artifact.

Hallucinate 03:37
There’s so much more to life than what we’re told There’s so much more there’s so much more Another realm to get to know Hallucinating from the view outside the window Explore geometries unknown Let’s go let’s go! Minerals illuminate And we hallucinate The dimensions replicate And we rejuvenate Paradigms alleviate And we still complicate How the walls disintegrate In transformation We are a species mixed of oak, olive tree, And eucalyptus No leaves for souvenirs will ever fall Hallucinating from the sap that's sticking to us Every day is seasonal and autumn comes at dusk Minerals illuminate And we hallucinate The dimensions replicate And we rejuvenate Paradigms alleviate And we still complicate How the walls disintegrate In transformation Hallucinate, hallucinate, woo! Hey oh! Hallucinate, hallucinate! Let’s go let’s go! Minerals illuminate And we hallucinate The dimensions replicate And we rejuvenate Paradigms alleviate And we still complicate How the walls disintegrate In transformation Hallucinate! Hallucinate! Woo!

Delicacy 04:09
Delicacy… Grasping for tender moments I hold onto like delicate keepsakes They are so few and far between And I’m grateful for the memorability of each moment Moments so fragile and rare That I wonder If they would have the same taste If not such a delicacy Delicacy… I’ve been looking for you all my life For you day and night For you all my life I’ve been looking for you all my life For you day and night For you all my life Ooooooh As I lay here and recall years Of wavering emotions Suppressed desires And volcanic explosions That retreat into dormancy I wonder So fragile and rare That I wonder If they would have the same taste If not such a delicacy Delicacy… I’ve been looking for you all my life For you day and night For you all my life I’ve been looking for you all my life For you day and night For you all my life Ooooooh Moments wrapped in romance That end with bitter sunrises And goodbyes Could we ever flow together? Moments so fragile and rare That I wonder If they would have the same taste If not such a delicacy Delicacy… I’ve been looking for you all my life For you day and night For you all my life I’ve been looking for you all my life For you day and night For you all my life Ooooooh

The Sound 03:33
Oceans apart lost in the dark Trapped in the memories deep in my heart Floating away those dreams won’t last They’re at the speed of sound Why did our days pass by so fast? I want to hear the sound Losing my mind more everyday I stand alone now that you’re gone I want to hear the sound Floating away those dreams won’t last They’re at the speed of sound Why did our days pass by so fast? I want to hear the sound Woo! Yeah! Hey! Woo! Come on! Bring it back now… Floating away those dreams won’t last They’re at the speed of sound Why did our days pass by so fast? I want to hear the sound Floating away those dreams won’t last They’re at the speed of sound Why did our days pass by so fast? I want to hear the sound

One makes you tiny, the other makes you tall One makes you happy, the other makes you fall Follow me into wonderland, and I will show you how To find the rabbit hole Breath in, breath out Suddenly a rushing river of colorful static Bounced off my chest Mesmerized and wrapped in a celestial glow Let’s go! Now are you ready to get snatched by life? Get rattled get shattered, take a tour of the mind Follow me into wonderland, into the great divide Strike a pose for your third eye Hey! Breath in, breath out Suddenly a rushing river of colorful static Bounced off my chest Mesmerized and wrapped in a celestial glow Let’s go! So many creatures basking in creation Floating on an ocean of imagination (Mesmerized and wrapped in a celestial glow) Breath in, breath out Suddenly a rushing river of colorful static Bounced off my chest Mesmerized and wrapped in a celestial glow Let’s go!

Chinatown 03:46
Sunglasses on cover dark eyes Timid frame from Shanghai Suitcase in hand A ticket for one way He’s got a dream to get there Postcard picture he’s gotta move He’s gotta go City night calling Chinatown dawning In the night darling When the curtain’s falling Busy streets with steep hills Chinatown and cheep thrills Classified ad of a flat on Market Street Jacket on and ready The night is on he’s in a mood He’s gotta go City night calling Chinatown dawning In the night darling When the curtain’s falling City night calling Chinatown dawning In the night darling When the curtain’s falling I know what I want Found a way to do What we want to do Live how we want to Make it to the only place We dreamed about To do what you want to do Live how you want to City night calling Chinatown dawning In the night darling When the curtain’s falling City night calling Chinatown dawning In the night darling When the curtain’s falling I know what I want

City Lights 03:25
City lights calling Bridge lit up calling He knows what he wants To the only place he dreamed about Found a way to do what you want to do Live how you want to...

Transcend 04:14
I stay awake until The first glimmer of sun Hits the horizon No one to talk to Only my own thoughts to live with My mind going to dark places I am afraid of the dark So pure, so deep, so real Oh oh oh how? So pure, so deep, so real Oh oh oh how? Who? Unlocking secrets of the universe Who who who? Whoa! Merge up as light as a feather I wonder if I’ll ever Grace the sky with you forever When it feels like we are clouds Caught in heavy stormy weather As light as a feather So pure, so deep, so real Oh oh oh how? So pure, so deep, so real Oh oh oh how? Who? Unlocking secrets of the universe Who who who? Whoa! Unlocking secrets of the universe Who who who? Whoa! I want you to transcend realities Transcend… So pure, so deep, so real Oh oh oh how? So pure, so deep, so real Oh oh oh how?

Never 03:25
If you would have told me I missed you so much Since you’ve been gone I never would have believed If you told me the hole you’d leave And the world be big enough to fall in I never would have believed If you had told me The last time was the last time I never would have believed If you had told me it never meant a thing I never would have believed I never, I never I never, never… If you told me we’d all be pulled apart I never would have believed If you had told me we’d all Be made to turn our backs I never would have believed If you had told me the future was held In the tiny hands of the Reckless and depraved I never would have believed If you told me we cannot change a thing I never would have believed Ooooh ooooh ooooh Nothing ever seems to end up Exactly how you expect It’s the struggles of realty Fighting the expectations of your dreams And still the water flows Down the endless streams If you would have told me We’d never be apart I never would have believed And if you had told me You’d hold me forever in your arms I never would have believed And if you told me You’ll always look at me that way I never would have believed And if you told me that Your love wouldn’t be enough I never would have believed I never, I never I never, never I never

Multiverse 05:03
What have you done to me? This time I can’t believe I let such a thing fly by Without warning, without call, just a beautiful fall A tumble down your mineral walls You formed when I needed you here But now I can’t remember if you were even real So strong and so wrong, downfall Cause I don’t believe that you existed at all But everything is real in the multiverse There I’ll find a universe Where you returned Where you understood In the underworld I would follow you Don’t let my failures take me… I refuse to pretend that Everything has to come to an end Come to an end You took me from the pain This time I let you just wash it all away, yeah No resistance, no more doubt Just a beautiful sound As we’re tumbling down, down, down… You formed when I needed you here But now I can’t remember if you were even real So strong and so wrong, downfall Cause I don’t believe that you existed at all But everything is real in the multiverse There I’ll find a universe Where you returned Where you understood In the underworld I would follow you Don’t let my failures take me… I refuse to pretend that Everything has to come to an end Come to an end Oh come to an end Come to an end

Night Driver 04:36
I am a night driver To where the long road lies You are a passenger On the ride of your life Our journey has advanced Our feet will almost hold The middle of the road Paved with old stolen gold Come on I am a night driver Come on I am a night driver Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hedge without a gust On the moonlight dust  Edge without a gust On the moonlight dust We took a sudden turn The map is in my head The cities and the towns  Through the forest of the dead Retreat was out of hope A master of your fate Eternity’s white flag Is the key to the gate  Come on I am a night driver Come on I am a night driver Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hedge without a gust On the moonlight dust Edge without a gust On the moonlight dust  Drive, drive, hey hey Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive Drive! Hey! Hedge without a gust On the moonlight dust Edge without a gust On the moonlight dust

Kykeon 03:52
Hey the summers without knowing Hey the light in the subway Now the windier city is Full of many mercenaries Wind in the tunnel On my face Walk by the meadow Out to see Laws operating Beyond our thoughts Great esoteric art for all Persephone makes me a drink Hey the spring is not growing Hey the autumn isn’t falling Now the winter is coming Full of many machinations Wind in the tunnel On my face Walk by the meadow Out to see Laws operating Beyond our thoughts Great esoteric art for all Persephone makes me a drink Laws operating Beyond our thoughts Great esoteric art for all Persephone makes me a drink

Everybody comes and goes Everybody gets what they got It all comes to close If the well runs dry You gotta cut stone to make a statue It’s never gonna stop coming at you It’s up from the dust You gotta trust it’s all for all of us And we know it’s now or never When the time is running fast But to make it to forever We gotta make it through the past And we know it’s now or never When the time is running fast But we know we’ll live forever As an ancient artifact Everybody got a little heat Turn it up if your heart still beats Everybody got a little time So run it up cause you know death cheats Everybody grabbing flashes We rising up from the ashes Be a giant with a shoulder to stand on Human endeavor anthem And we know it’s now or never When the time is running fast But to make it to forever We gotta make it through the past And we know it’s now or never When the time is running fast But we know we’ll live forever As an ancient artifact
