LYRICS

What is the meaning of this tired earth?
The silver platter some of us are served?
Is it a question that we ask us first?
Is it a meal that none of us deserve?

Is this a fact on which we all agree?
Is this a factor that we all must see?
Potentially is a just transient
So why wake up to the extravagant

I see grey
Put some colour into my day
Put some colour into my way
So that I can believe and say
Believe in the meaning of I

What is the meaning of antipathy?
It is much better than just apathy?
A feeling that we lost so long ago
Is just a trail of blood into the snow

Potentially is a just transient
So fall asleep to the extravagant

Put some colour into my day
Put some colour into my way

I see grey
Put some colour into my day
Put some colour into my way
So that I can believe and say
Believe in the meaning of I

Going through your back catalogue and finding banger after banger! Best thing to come out of Eurovision 2023 was finding your band!

[kade-guitar]

The whole album is incredible, underrated band and they should get more exposure.

[saseff]

You are awesome. I can't stop listening to the music you make. Just amazing.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

There is just something special about Aussie music. Don't know if it's the geographic isolation from mega-corporate-culture during creation or simply the need to appeal to a discerning and isolated local audience before setting off for distant lands, but regardless of who makes it to us - from Billy Thorpe, Icehouse, Men At Work, Screaming Jets, or Midnight Oil straight through to Thornhill, Parklane, and (of course) Voyager - the music is always audibly original and awesome. My only regret is that I left Oz to return to the USA the very year Voyager formed.

[dannylopez]

What a refreshing band! I love how awesome and well refined these song writers are  with their whole approach to this style of metal. I mean I just love every player in this band.. Nothing too self indulgent like allot of other metal bands of this style tend to do. Sounds like  a band on a mission to write great songs. One of the best prog metal bands I've heard in 15 years. Well done guys and I hope you receive all the success your hard work invested in this great music deserves.. And to the vocalist in this band... Man your voice is so on it with your delivery and communication.. This is a fantastic track!  I'm going to play it again!

[mayumiyamada]

Holy shit you guys deliver... I hear everything from 80s new wave pop (Alphaville) in your style, to some of the finer melodic metal of the 80s/90s (Crimson Glory, Fates Warning, Qryche), to even the finest in the scene today (Circus Maximus, Anubis Gate, Pagan's Mind, etc). Massive respect to you guys for delivering something truly fresh, unique, WITHOUT sacrificing that refined metal element we all cam here to hear. Cheers from Tokyo!

[willemstander]

This is one of the best albums I have ever listened too. It's quite astonishing in actual fact.

[TheAdam]

New to this awesome band, and exploring the back catalogue. This album might be my favourite

[voyagerdrummer]

Excellent work both to Voyager and Ben Berkhout. Amazing video!!

[zsteve]

This video is terrific; very creative and love the twist at the end, even though it rings all too true for so many people. I'm pleased to say Voyager put a lot of crazy colour into my day since I discovered their unique Aussie metal brand.

[dannylopez]

My pleasure. I just blew out on the song, the performances and how great the production and mix was.. I also like how your singer isn't typical of what you'd hear in a style like this. The drummer is also like nothing I'd ever heard before and the guitarist really bring that ingredient that fuels the rocket! That includes the baas to...let's not forget him or anyone else involved in this great band.. I really hope you get the exposure you deserve.. cause if I had a spare couple of million I'd be knocking in your door.

[ax]

i think this is one of the best "modern metal" songs ever made

[WilmaSystematicFans]

One of the best band ever!!! Love from Czech Republic, come back soon ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[DProductions]

I've been getting into Voyager a lot recently, because their music is just wonderful! Well written lyrics sit on top of well written music performed with top musicianship. I look forward to receiving the digipack of their next album

[ValiantFay]

This song is fan-fucking-tastic 10/10 would recommend

[thomasmcguire]

best prog metal act since dream theater, and fabulous melodies, you guys make prog sound poppy and fresh. It's like an injection of songwriting wisdom and a really cool mashup of metallic styling

[rickbegley]

These guys knocked off The Amenta and Devolved for the spot of best Australian band, in my opinion.

[nirvanawest]

wicked film clip!!! wasnt excepting that at the end <3 !!!! such a great song

[yoyojoe]

You guys are seriously one of my favourite new bands.

[Rajivranjan-rg]

you guys are awesome .plez don't stop to rock..
