Aviators - Apocalypse State of Mind (Fallout Song | Industrial Rock)

Here's another song from Stargazers! I plan on uploading the entire album at some point, maybe even doing a full album video if people are interested.

This song is a sad story of two people who got separated in the harsh post-apocalyptic world. Throughout the song they deal with their regret and sorrow, and accept their bleak futures, hoping to one day meet again.

Lyrics:
Where can I bury all of my suffering
Casualties of poison and pride
Where is the line between losing everything
And giving it all to say that you've tried

When I dared to dream of something greater
I flew away into the sky
Nothing's going to fill the space between you and I
And I felt the world grow so much colder
As we drifted away over time
Living in the past in our apocalypse state of mind

Where can I find some kind of a remedy
A cure for my pain, a rest for my eyes
Where can I pray, when nothing means anything
In some kind of cage no God could devise

Now can you hear the sounds of a melody
Playing a tune, to soften our hearts
We can move on past all of the memories
The lapses in faith, that time will impart
Take me to places beyond our biosphere
Into the unknown, where we could reside
Find me in winter when all the paths are clear
In cities of ash, we're healing in time

I love how this could be between two friends, siblings or lovers. There's just enough Wiggle room for them all. Even 4 years later, I love this. Thank you, aviators.

You set a wonderful sound for every game you graze.
Fallout- Industrial
Boodborne- Gothic
FNaF SL- Alternative
Those don't stray from the mood.

I'm running out of words in the English language to describe how much Aviators just keeps getting better and better with every album. Being monolingual can really suck sometimes.

[ryaku]

Opening line is amazing; great lyrics. Especially the second set.
"Where is the line between losing everything, and giving it all to say that you've tried?"
Amazingly deep, my friend. Keep it up.

[rachelwoods]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Honour to glory, and iron to rust
Hate to bloodshed, from rise to fall
If I never had to die...
Am I alive at all?

[rarity]

just at the end of the chorus *living in the past in our apocalypse state of mind* just gets me melting

[MiningwithPudding]

"maybe even doing a full album video if people are interested."

... I'm interested...

"When i dared to dream of something greater, i flew away into the sky
Nothing's going to fill the space between you and i"
I understand these specific lyrics in a way i don't think most people would
The feels are deep man..

[Doc]

... Absolutely masterful. The atmosphere and tones are absolutely fantastic. The tempo of the song wraps it up into almost a musical burrito.
Dammit, now I'm hungry.

[uhmhazymusic]

Aviators you are the master of emotional works of art

[SingSongThePegasus]

See, this is why I love your music so much. You don't just make songs, you write stories and translate them into the mad, wonderful language of music and it's absolutely beautiful.

[jamielayne]

most singers just sing. but avi always sings with heart

[Railer]

Not only the song and Aviators voice gave me chills, but this video is quite unique. Haven't seen one where it's floating around instead of a moving image.

When it comes to Fallout songs, I have to say I love Aviators' songs the best because while most Fallout songs I've come across are usually energetic and focus more on the action and upbeat side of the series, Aviators' songs focus more on the darker tones to Fallout. The comedy and action vibes are something that every Fallout game provides, yes, but I've also always felt that every single one of the games can envoke feelings of the dark and grim variety. Feelings such as fear and sadness, hopelessness and desperation, pain and betrayal; and songs like this one do a great job at portraying those feelings to the point where you can start to paint a scene in your head relating to not just the songs but also the games.

I also love the ambiguity with this song in particular and how you could picture it being about any story about two characters from any of the games. You make it about James and his son/daughter, the lone wanderer in Fallout 3, The sole survivor and their deceased spouse or infant son in Fallout 4, or heck you could even relate it to smaller side characters like Pvt. Kowalski and his deceased brother in Fallout New Vegas. It could even be about some fan made characters that you come up with yourself. Overall this is a really good song and I hope people still come to listen to it from time to time like I do.

This legit made me cry in my middle school years ;-;

F in the chat for the Fallout franchise

[TheBeardedFrogSage]

You've definitely come a long way from the old days, and I have the feeling you're going to go a lot farther still. Do not stop what you do. There are no words that come to me to tell you what I am thinking. Only that I want you to never stop composing and creating.

[EanHaworth]

you know, weighing the options, Fallout is pretty tame compared to some war/post-war games.

[josephbugaj]

Maybe you should make the albums onto CDs. I'd be interested in the CDs if they are made.

[exoticslugs]

Your lyrics for your video game songs are always phenomenal. How they can be related both to the game/story and also contextualized differently, this song is one of my favorite examples.

[lenatunnissen]

great song! I haven't played Fallout ever but i absolutely love this
