A sun is setting
I'm done regretting what's been done
giving zero f***s about the situation
constrained and restricted no more
In a season of solitude
No constants or anchors to keep you glued
Mercury in Retrograde,
the Earth is a lonely place some days but that's
Life in Flux, Life in Flux
It's always changing so don't get frustrated, don't give up
Tomorrow brings new things
and those things will bring you luck
Just remember in the now,
Life's in Flux
Life is a metaphor
I hear the songbirds sing
I cast a wide net
When I go fishing
Imitators are all we are
Like light rays bouncing from star to star
Shed your chrysalis! Grow some wings!!
I stand on giants' shoulders, and from there I sing
Life in Flux, Life in Flux
Don't be afraid to break yourself down and build it back up
Your dreams may seem out of reach, but they're in touch
For in the hardest moments,
We're in Flux
"Oh-oh-ohhh-oh ah ah
Life in Flux, don't be afraid
to RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
cos you've gotta wake up sometime…."
I'm learning how to be more patient
Now that I'm disconnected from the Matrix
No longer bound to space and time
No longer in need of <INSERT RHYMING WORD HERE>
I relinquish control of being pigeon-holed
In a strange city
Grasping at the moon
Wrestling with my sanity, but don't let go!
Life's in Flux, Life's in Flux!!
It's always changing so don't get frustrated, don't give up!
Tomorrow springs new things
and those things will bring you luck
Just remember in this moment,
You're in Flux
A sun is setting
I'm done regretting what's been done
giving zero f***s about the situation
constrained and restricted no more
In a season of solitude
No constants or anchors to keep you glued
Mercury in Retrograde,
the Earth is a lonely place some days but that's
Life in Flux, Life in Flux
It's always changing so don't get frustrated, don't give up
Tomorrow brings new things
and those things will bring you luck
Just remember in the now,
Life's in Flux
Life is a metaphor
I hear the songbirds sing
I cast a wide net
When I go fishing
Imitators are all we are
Like light rays bouncing from star to star
Shed your chrysalis! Grow some wings!!

Life in Flux, Life in Flux
Don't be afraid to break yourself down and build it back up

On “Spirit Breeze,” Dylan Gilbert starts from folk roots, but gradually adorns his songs with rich textural elements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 19, 2022
The 17 mindbending songs on this compilation represent minimalist experimental music at its best, a collage of blips and static. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2022
