Three Of Three: Rubedo

1.
Tell me oh tell me mother of mine Have I grown to bear the sign Of the path you drew for me Is this the future you could see Tell me oh tell me father of mine Have we finally reached the time When my eyes turn into yours Have my days all ran their course Dancing, dying, dreaming… Tell me oh tell me lover of mine Are we ready for these sights For the light you brought to me For this chasm wide and deep Are we still what we once knew What we promised that we would Always be and always share As we dream and dream again Dancing, dying, dreaming… A dream of us, a dream of now One dream of everything we doubt One dance to make it disappear One death and everything is clear Dancing, dying, dreaming…

XP8 Is Dead 04:43
We forgave, we cut and drank We taught revenge and dropped our masks We burned down towns inside our heads Listen up, XP8 is dead We muv’d dollies, went for night runs We dreamt of blue and tore our scars With one true god we restart awake Listen up, XP8 is dead

Egotism 03:27
There’s no more road for me to run I’ve got no more soul for you to damn No more days to bide my time No more fucking masks I can hide behind The self I’ve always been In the light I’ve never seen There no single thing that makes me myself I’m the beast that grows inside your head The self I’ve always been In the light I’ve never seen

Your Love 04:24
Will this voice still be me once summer’s reaped its fruit Will I see through these eyes once truth devours my soul For I can’t help myself but doubting what it’s worth For I can’t help destroying the only path to make me whole Your Love If there was such a thing as guilt in all my crimes I knew there would be hope for this imperfect life of mine But we deserve much more, my soul is just too sore I can’t erase the past that lays so heavily on my heart My Heart In the beginning was the end In the end was my beginning Open the eye to a million shades of white In the beginning was the end In the end was my beginning Open the eye to a million shades of white My Heart

about

One year after the successful release of Adrenochrome and its follow-up remix EP, Meathead’s Lost HD, Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion are back and ready to unleash the Alchemy Series: three EPs planned to be released no more than six months from each other, an non-stop audio assault that will once again set aflame the alternative dancefloors worldwide with its mixture of old and new influences from the classic sounds of trance to the modern beats of EDM.

Three releases as three are the phases of the Alchemical process, said to transform the lower metals such as lead into gold, and which is nothing else but a veiled allegory of the initiatory path from man to Godhead.

The flames of the athanor burn for one last time, and will produce the rebis on February 2nd, 2015: while the candles of Imbolc will be light up, we finally reach the end of our journey with "Three of Three: Rubedo".

Rubedo is a Latin word meaning "redness" that was adopted by alchemists to define the final major stage in their magnum opus. Both gold, and the philosopher's stone were associated with the color red, as Rubedo signalled alchemical success, and the end of the great work. The symbols used in alchemical writing and art to represent this red stage can include blood, a phoenix, a rose, a crowned king, or a figure wearing red clothes.
In the framework of psychological development (especially with followers of Jungian psychology), these alchemical steps are viewed as analogous to the process of attaining individuation. In an archetypal schema, Rubedo would represent the Self archetype, and would be the culmination of the four stages, the merging of ego and Self.
The Self manifests itself in "wholeness", a point in which a person discovers their true nature.
