about

Fail On, Phaethon is the first single off the sophomore album by Artemis Aether 'Seeker'. A trip-hop/indie-rock combination the lyrics borrow from the story of mythological figure of Phaethon, the forgotten son of Helios who fought to drive the sun chariot and was struck down for the damage he wrought. It's a reflection on fading vision of traditional manhood in our current times.

lyrics

Let me go
Now
Let me out
I been sold for a
'nother round
Never forced from a
Common lie
I been told, hold house to spend your ties

Fail on, through the white walls
Were you made whole
By the soft, soft sounds of:
Played roles
Buried manhood
and the last call
of your once great empire

Did you light your lungs on the way
to the other side of song and your lover's grave
With intent to fight through anyone
The fuckin' lights decide to bite the night you saw the sun
Appear

Fail on, Phaethon
Were you made whole
By the soft, soft sounds of:
Played roles
Fickle manhood
and the last call
of that once great empire

Some spotted a contra
So called it a game

They came for the fever,
The once broken preacher,
And the mask made to see her
Called Artemis Aether ... more
