about

Straddling pop-punk and post-hardcore, Chimera is a portrait of an embittered old misanthropist, lashing out at a world he no longer understands.

The lyrical themes of disillusionment and toxic nostalgia are woven around melancholic harmonised vocals, spiky guitars, and big drums.

lyrics

In a lost archive, an abandoned life
In a seventh heaven
If I haven't smiled in a long while
It's because I'm basically hating
The way things are playing out

Recollections of imagined days
I want to love you but you've changed
You've changed in ways I hate

I've been passed in line for the billionth time
And it makes me jaded
Impatiently waiting to waste away

Recollections of imagined days
I want to love you but you've changed
You've changed in ways I hate

Hoax perfection in demise calls your name
Rose perception veiled eyes
I never liked you then but I miss you all the same

Who's going to love me now

Who'd want to love me now I've changed
I've changed in ways I hate
