about

In 'Smoke and Mirrors,' MATRICIDE's music comes to the forefront, with fast-paced drums, dissonant riffs, and an unforgettable chorus.

Drawing inspiration from bands such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Code Orange, and Blind Guardian, the track seamlessly merges intricate chaotic math metal structures with captivating, resonating melodies, creating a sound that hooks the listener while still pushing musical boundaries.

lyrics

LYRICS:

I can see
a clean-shaven, crooked, two-faced smile
hiding behind a haze of smoke and mirrors
& piles and piles of lies, built on lies,
built on lies, built on lies, built on lies.

The wings you own are just for show,
so don't claim you can soar.
I can see through you; you are blood & bone.

YOU'RE ROTTEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
YOU'RE ROTTEN FROM THE CORE.

I can see
through your deception,
pleading the truth is your name,
bending the truth to fit your lie.
I see you bare; you make me sick.
You make me sick, you make me sick,
you make me sick.

Just remember,
what goes around comes around.
Every dog has its day, and yours is on its way.

I don’t want to hear your reasoning.
The knife is deep in my back, and I’m bleeding.
Your guilt-ridden apology is meaningless to me.
Watch the tables turn; when it rains, it pours,
every lie & every word a double-edged sword.

I hope you know you reap what you sow.
Don't go throwing stones.
I can see through you; you’re more glass than stone.

YOU'RE ROTTEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
YOU'RE ROTTEN FROM THE CORE.
YOU'RE ROTTEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
YOU'RE ROTTEN FROM THE CORE.
