Closer

I lay down in my bed, I take one earphone and insert it into my left ear and then the same to the right ear. I lay my head back and press play. A synthesizer starts it off slow and melodic for a few turns, then a unsuspected snap of the snare brings me out of the trance I'm in and owns me.

All I can do is shudder with fear as the haunting wale comes in from the guitarist's pickups. By the time the lyrics come in, I already know this is my anthem giving me power in every situation. The guttural voice sings with a controlled yell that is un-paralleled.

Still that synthesizer and drum beat flow through my head as I listen to the words. It's insane the rush I feel listening to this song that I could hear it over and over again. As it drops it's canter leaving just the synthesizer, it feels like a lullaby putting me to sleep. . .good night
