Safekept

I've never seen the beams
Standing in the corners
Never noticed the dormers
Had inner wooden seams
I've never seen my face
Staring from my window
Let's get up at slow pace
Time to be a hero
Though dawn is still familiar
Sunlight is peculiar
Though water's sweltering
It leaves me shivering
And when it's dark again
Well you see no difference
Emotions, appearance
They both remain the same
Close your eyes
Perception's deceit
Realize
Inside you defeat
Compromise
Torches are still lit
Empathize
Hypocrite
You're safekept
Safekept
Safekept
Safekept
Stay, kill the light
Lock your doors
Fear the blight
Outside
I cannot lose my track again
The second hand's standing still
The river runs, strong's my will
The river runs, it keeps me sane
The light is unseen at the end
We know it's waiting us there
The river runs, I still care
The river runs, it keeps me sane
Some hands will never reach
Some will blindly dive in
Others will think they teach
While they are forgetting
From the eyes in the air
Letters are distorted
The further reported
And the less I can bare
All the lies
Open wide and eat
Don't be wise
The poison's so sweet
Advertise
Repeat and repeat
Emphasize
Fear is bittersweet
Close your eyes
Perception's deceit
Realize
Inside you defeat
Compromise
Torches are still lit
Empathize
Hypocrite
You're safekept
Safekept
Safekept
Safekept
Stay, kill the light
Lock your doors
Fear the blight
Outside
I cannot lose my track again
The second hand's standing still
The river runs, strong's my will
The river runs, it keeps me sane
The light is unseen at the end
We know it's waiting us there
The river runs, I still care
The river runs, it keeps me sane

Obsession
04:29
|

Invisible obligation
Making me feel left behind
A cage of my own creation
With dopamine as bars
Never-ending starvation
Slightly relieved by action
A mostly positive guardhouse
As part of the blissful disguise
Understanding the stakes
Simply not awake
So hard to reject
Easy to forget
Yielding a result
Liking the output
Will try to stay put
And rest a while
The more your work becomes an obsession
The harder it gets for you to reason
The more hours you spend in creation
The less you have for perpetuation
The weight of space-time distortion
Taking away years of life
The warp of my own projection
Messing with my sense of time
Twisting with pain, palm of my feet
Up to my fingertip
Physical image of psychotic state
Locking those thoughts in my head
Understanding the stakes
Simply not awake
So hard to reject
Easy to forget
Yielding a result
Liking the output
Will try to stay put
And rest a while
The more your work becomes an obsession
The harder it gets for you to reason
The more hours you spend in creation
The less you have for perpetuation

Let me sing about an old cliché
That from a road we've strayed away
A road we used to walk under the sun
Somehow we took another turn
And then, there's this change we have been promised
Maybe it's something we have missed
We all thought we came out of the obscure
But good intention's not always a cure
All the pain on Earth is not worth this
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
Why should I care when you're so good to me
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
Ain't like I'm the one to whom you should show mercy
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
You keep telling me it's not worth my time
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
Do you ever read between the lines?
Between the screeching and the violin
I have a hard time listening
The same escape that takes me close to home
Is pulling me the other direction
All the pain on Earth is not worth this
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
Why should I care when you're so good to me
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
Ain't like I'm the one to whom you should show mercy
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
You keep telling me it's not worth my time
Dada dadada
Dada dadada
Do you ever read between the lines?

How, how is it going
The tears, the beat, the feeling
We cannot perceive at all
May I assume this is normal?
So how, how are you doing
We're here, that's it, and we won't leave too
Tell me, is that okay with you?
The lack of answer, what does it all mean?
It seems that when we were brought in together
We weren't intended to live in unity
But this separation is for the better
In primal form it would've meant harmony
Is it vain, all this questioning
We cannot help but see with our eyes
You know, I think we'd be surprised
Surprised to hear that we all can sing
It seems that when we were brought in together
We weren't intended to live in unity
But this separation is for the better
In primal form it would've meant harmony
It seems that when we were brought in together
We weren't intended to live in unity
But this separation is for the better
In primal form it would've meant harmony
We sing along with you
You sing along with us
We sing along with you
You sing along with us
We all sing with one voice
We all sing with one voice
We all sing with one voice

Because the data in my mind is so meticulous
We'll have you
Conform to my grids, and stripped of all your wit
'Cause I'm asking you to understand that you're unfit
Because the pattern in my eyes is so scrupulous
We'll have you
Removed from office, tied in the basement
I'll keep the profits and save you the embarrassment
The smaller the better yet nothing should go through the net
You'll bend the knee, and we'll make sure you don't forget
Even if you rectify, or falsify, or deny, that it's a sin
The smaller the better, we'll fit you right in
You won't be left out
'Cause let's face it, you enjoy being led, being led
We are the progress, the next step in evolution
We are the answer, the promising bright horizon
We hold the key to a treasure of pure salvation
We make our way towards the light of our extinction
You're either with us
Or you're against us
Know what's best for us
All hail us
The ancient treasure of our blood is a joke
Because all of its keepers are corrupted and bloke
What have they done, anyway, that measures short-sightedly
Just blasphemy
I won't allow the past to stand in the way of the future
It is not a cure
It's a curse that fuels the fools, that rules the schools
Of disgust, and oppression of makeups
You don't deserve your lifeline
If all you ever run by is our dime
It's never coming down
You'd better fall in line
Or else we'll take care of your business and your crown
I used to think like your kind once
Until I realised that my purpose was a bunce
But that's okay
Because I am more than happy to show you the way
As you enjoy being led
We are the progress, the next step in evolution
We are the answer, the promising bright horizon
We hold the key to a treasure of pure salvation
We make our way towards the light of our extinction
You're either with us
Or you're against us
Know what's best for us
All hail us

Cast it away
Dig deep inside
Force it astray
Bring it down, forget it all
Erase it up
Chain to a ball
Burn it all up
Oblivion
Lobotomize
Homogenize
Apostatize
Extract your intimacy
Your fallacy
Your fantasy
Conspiracy
Ending now
Asphyxiation
Ripping my face off
Suppressed, make me cough
Ego castration
And please, please let me
Rise above it all
Close it, close it, close it, close it
It's not tearing me
Only teasing me
It's not stopping me
Only failing me
I deny all of
Its existence, so
Lock it, lock it, lock it, lock it
Lie above this vastness
Hallowed be this madness
Safely, super-myself
All under I repel
These calumnies
These lies you speak
No more, no more, no more, I cast you out, out of my mind
Identity
Eternity
Enough, enough, enough, you're me no more, no more I'm found

Question infinity
Instability
Ambiguity all we see
Our hesitation
Our fixation
Over opinions through division
When the veil of doubt is here
We'll turn to you to understand
The intricacies of our land
Through watching you the picture's clear
When light is out and sight is gone
We'll count on you to take us on
What brought us here, what binds us all
The answers that we're looking for
Dispose of vanity
Otiosity
Make sense of empathy, be receptive
Value your decisions
Your opinions
Strengthen identity, all you see
When the veil of doubt is here
We'll turn to you to understand
The intricacies of our land
Through watching you the picture's clear
When light is out and sight is gone
We'll count on you to take us on
What brought us here, what binds us all
The answers that we're looking for

Standing tall
Monuments rise
Rest in my eyes
Mirror of my soul
Foundations so strong
Beneath the dome of right and wrong
Securely deprived
The altar of will revived
Proudly shine
A star unbound
Faith misplaced
Aura possessed
Foundations so strong
Beneath the dome of right and wrong
Securely deprived
The altar of will revived
I can't help but look through my window
The appeal of uncharted minds' too tempting
I can't seem to find myself in the flow
Of this all so unoriginal sighting
Perception falls
Vision unfolds
Collapsing bones
I've been too far
I think therefore I am
Columns shattered
Unwelcomed positions
Narthex splintered
Unfitting volitions
Arcades ruptured
Unforeseen divisions
Chancel fractured
Unceasing digressions
Perception falls
Vision unfolds
Collapsing bones
I've been too far
I think therefore I am
Anxious feelings
Panic and confusion
Shaken, unseen
Mistaken allusion
Endless ruin
Obvious disillusion
Wasteland sightings
Adequate depression
Perception falls
Vision unfolds
Collapsing bones
I've been too far
I think therefore I am

Jeyem Nancy, France
My name is Julien Marchetti, abbreviated into Jeyem. I am a vocalist and multi instrumentalist from Nancy, France. I started
writing music in 2011 for my former band, Left Alone, and debuted a solo career in 2019.
I come from a mostly rock and metal background, and I would say that the songs I write are a mix of progressive and avant-garde music, sometimes borrowing elements from jazz and blues.
