MODERN ARTIST Lyrics by Euryeth

Knock, knock…

*(Who’s there?)*

Euryeth the Artist.

*(Artist or artificial?)*

I’ve been doing art for more than 20 years.
Open the door or I’ll crash it with superhuman strength like a thirsty dhampir.

*(Dhampir!! Alright, alright.)*

Invite me in or I’m going to slam it like a true Mickelson.

*(Come on in, Euryeth the Artist.)*

I don’t need an interview.
I came to tell you a story.

*(Do you need blood?)*

Nah, I drink synthetic only.

*(Awesome, go ahead, tell us.)*

—

I was only but a child when I was performing in the theater
Had a dream to go wild, wanted to make art like Dream Theater

*(Progressive.)*

Nah, not progressive but a unique vision
Fusing styles and metaphor like a duel from Yu-Gi-Oh

*(And the condition?)*

Pharaoh, they call me in Fez, Eury for short
I have paintings that date back to 2004, I produced it like a fort

*(Hmmm.)*

I’ve been truly working hard, I was writing lyrics on papers
The lyrics weren’t enough, so I wrote a book

*(The Dark Sight?)*

Yeah, The Dark Sight, and I contrasted it lately with The Bright Sight.

*(The Bright Sight, hmm, interesting.)*

—

I told my mother that I’d be a king
She called my father, turned me upside down and hit me in the feet

If I’m not going to be a king, then I had to sing
I told them I’m going to dedicate my life for art

*(What did they say?)*

They said, “Finish your studies, then do whatever you want.”

*(Uhh, that must’ve been hard.)*

I listened to metal, I listened to rap, and I fell in love with 808 trap.

*(And the studies?)*

I loved knowledge, so studies were easy.

*(Top class.)*

With little patience I had, I took a Master’s degree.

*(Master.)*

Then came the time to dedicate my life for art.

*(Like the Emperor of Art, ey.)*

—

Don’t label me, friend
I’ve been doing this before the artificial got born

I’ve been stigmatized and labeled enough with schizophrenia
I don’t need another label to be torn

Euryeth the Artist, and I’ll use any tool
I’m not artificial, I’m quite real.

*(You are.)*

—

I would’ve loved to record with Dree or Korn
Resources on my mind, I’ve got to use any tool

If Da Vinci was alive, he would’ve been delighted to experiment with the artificial,
even though he was a master in the traditional

Ask me, I’m half vampire, I’m a dhampir
And don’t judge me, support me, and see the heights I can reach

Don’t make a choice out of fear
I have a passion for the arts, and my dream I see it near

*(What about vampirism?)*

Huh, the vampirism is an allegory for schizophrenia, my friend
Both afflicted and permanent, but I’m not a fiend

The stages of vampirism, like the stages of schizophrenia
And psychosis is like frenzy

*(That sounds interesting. Why the dhampir?)*

I cherish my humanity, so I share it with the vampirism.

*(Deep.)*

—

Don’t label me, friend
I’ve been doing this before the artificial got born

I’ve been stigmatized and labeled enough with schizophrenia
I don’t need another label to be torn

Euryeth the Artist, and I’ll use any tool

—

Now you know the story, you can make the choice
I’m ancient and modern, I can be your voice

I’ve seen the future in the latest technology
I want to make the best of it

I want to uplift your spirit and inspire you
I want to empower you

**Euryeth from the heart of Fez, Morocco**
