about

WOMAN - The Hour of Recognition – track 6
Now fully aware, our protagonist explores her role as a Woman and recounts an intimate tale of her sexuality and her torturous imprisonment of identity, expressed through a sinister soundscape. We are then witness to the hour of recognition; a rebirthing into a renewed female presence.

lyrics

Woman

Illuminated eyes burn through
The reflection of an encased
Prison of influence.
That of elevated sensational
Thought.
That of a collective synergy with
All perceptions born of a certain
Spirit.
That of woman.
Woman that breathes,
Woman that dreams,
Woman that becomes the Earth.
Shadowed beings hover with out-stretched
Limbs, clutching to the
Journey of an innocent thirst.
The following rendez-vous
Is obscured by layers of
Molecular essence,
Gliding through hemispheres
Divided only by command
Of thought, enhanced
Only by the breath of music,
Perceived only
Through the knowledge
Beyond touch.
Suspended under the light
Of diamond encrusted
Thought, an engraved
Impression laces reality
Unto a sonic ground
Orchestrated within a
Tortured performance.
The hour of recognition
Is surpassed only by
The denial of time,
Pulsating rhythmically
To the demands of once
Before.

XI Los Angeles, California

XI is a spoken song duo duo grounded in poetry, sonic expression and visual storytelling, created, curated and realized by @reidwilkie and @eddiehulten.

XI, the self-titled inaugural release, denotes the Self which is past. ... more
