Track By Tracks: PHEAR - Save Our Souls (2025)

About the Album (Lyrically and Musically)

…… In a word….”HEAVY”!!! Clearly, this is the heaviest offering from us to date. The Lyrics, except for “Lease on Life” are mostly “Dark”. Remember, most of these songs were written during Covid. Not a lot to be happy about during this time.

Track By Track:

1. AFTERSHOCK:

This song is about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D.). With wars taking place overseas and in the past, the mental illness that follows is greater than it has ever been. My Father was in World War 2 and the Korean War, so we used to talk about it from time to time.

2. SAVE OUR SOULS:

Ahhh the title track! This song is written about the state of our world today. In my many years here, I have never seen such division and fear before…. The video is a metaphor.

3. SNAKE:

Contrary to the video screens, this song is not about snakes…. It is about self-reflection and self-awareness. It’s about changing yourself…… Shedding your old skin for new skin

4. NARCOSYNTHESIS:

This song is a cover from Nevermore. You would have to ask Jeff Loomis.

5. NEW WORLD ERROR:

This song deals with all the terrible atrocities going on in the world today. Humans are sometimes the plague of humanity.

6. LEASE ON LIFE:

The most positive song on the album. This is about personal change. Take your life back, make the changes, and move forward as the new and improved you!

7. BLEED:

Bleed is about lost connections. Some can be mended, and some are lost forever. Maybe there will be a day when enemies can come together and purge the demons of their past.

8. ON THIN ICE:

This song deals with all the crazy thoughts going on in human heads and the fine line between sanity and insanity…..The human race is on thin ice.

9. DELUSIONS:

Delusions is a live track recorded in Toronto, CANADA. It’s a bonus track to thank all the fans who come to see us live.
