Name: IV-Of Self
Duration: P00H03M23S
Description: The harrowing stages of despair is based on eight compositions reflecting each of the eight individual stages of despair. The fourth stage is the stage Of Self. This is the hardest of all stages to attain entrance into. The misery is so vast that we release all connections to those that are a part of our lives. We become numb to the world outside and thus begins our journey to our end.

lyrics

How far can I go with this weight bearing down me?
I want what the horizons gently holding for me
Yet I’m stumbling and falling and it begins to hurt
Where’s the strength that once pushed me forward
And the hope that carried me on
Romanticize the thoughts of surrendering to nothingness
Occupy this solace turning into a wanton cry
Craving life to penetrate this monolith of self
Forcing myself continuance
Till remembrance of knowing we are not alone

❤️My original plan was to go through and buy individual tracks like I do with most compilation albums, but honestly there are just so many good ones that I wound up buying the whole thing. More than simple drones (though there are plenty of those, too), this album collects many of the best and most innovative dark ambient artists in one place, including many who are new to me. A must-have for any dark ambient fan's collection. Plushie Fanatic
