“I Entered The Void” by Tuvaband - A Song Feature

     “I Entered The Void” is the first single and title track from an upcoming album release of low-key-yet-impactful Tuvaband. The album is scheduled to drop on November 27, 2019, via Brilliance Records. Tuvaband is the work of Norwegian artist Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser.

     Quoting the press content:
  “I Entered The Void” is a perfect introduction to both Tuvaband’s strange blend of magic, but also to the themes and tones found specifically within the forthcoming album of the same name. The single is gorgeously decorated with its instruments, its synth-line descending like rainfall and paired with choppy guitar waves, that musical beauty builds a world for Tuva’s vocal character to inhabit. In the verses, she’s a little restrained, singing under the weight of the feelings she’s carrying, rolling from barbed lyrics “her guts leaked, I was the retainer”, to aggressive then to wounded, before the chorus soars up through the song, and provides the release, the escape of falling into the Void. As Tuva expands:
   “‘I Entered The Void’ is about realizing that you feel like an overflowing container of the emotions of others. And then what it feels like when the container suddenly becomes empty. It’s a song about getting lost in a void. This song was the first song I wrote for this album.”

Lyrics of “I Entered The Void” by Tuvaband
I was a container - I am nothing now
He made a flood on the floor - and I was a drainer
Her guts leaked - I was the retainer
His lusts flooded - and I was the restrainer           
She threw herself up - and I was the container

And again - here we go
You say you’re oh so low
Off course you’re starring in the show
I could even make your portfolio
But I’m the only one you’ll share it with though

And I entered the void
Just in time, nothing’s destroyed
Should I be worried Freud?
For everything that I avoid
Feel less like a human, might be a humanoid
but I still feel - a little

My zest was overrated - it felt good - and I was devastated
I guess this is something that I created
And I never really demonstrated
But couldn’t you see that I was slowly deflated?
Oh, I guess it’s hard to see others when you’re always so got damn frustrated

I - I never ran away
yet nothing in my bag caught my attention
One would guess distance is a prevention
but some made a new dimension  
and now one is haunting me

And I entered the void
Just in time, nothing’s destroyed
Should I be worried Freud?
For everything that I avoid
Feel less like a human, might be a humanoid
but I still feel - a little

And again - here we go
You say you’re oh so low
You say you’re oh so low
I - I never ran away
I was there
I was always there
