mouxlaloulouda: Abyss

"How many years have I been sleeping? How many hours did I throw away? Why does everything feel so unnamed?"

Chelsea Wolfe: "Sleep and dream issues have plagued me my whole life, and I think this was my first album where I’ve confronted it... Some of these songwriting sessions were really intense. I’d be writing lyrics and find myself physically shaking. I really felt like I had some sort of prophetic experience.”

"Walk with me to a place of trust. Death will no longer silence us"

Chelsea Wolfe: "'Abyss' is meant to have the feeling of when you’re dreaming, and you briefly wake up, but then fall back asleep into the same dream, diving quickly into your own subconscious... There's a blurry confusion throughout the lyrics on the album, as it sometimes is in dreams, like you're new to the afterlife and things are slightly different, more hazy and fluid."
