Cosmic Souls channel alienation, resistance and disillusionment into their new single ‘Three Things’, delivering a brooding statement built around the idea of don't trust, don't fear, don't plead.
Inspired by a famous quote attributed to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the song emerged from the band's response to the years following 9/11 and what they saw as an increasing acceptance of authoritarianism and the brutalisation of society.
Its lyrics move through images of isolation, mistrust and suffocating conformity before arriving at the three-part mantra that gives the track its title. Questions surrounding power, equality, morality and individual freedom run throughout, giving the song the character of both protest and an existential reckoning.
Dark, confrontational and fiercely impactful, ‘Three Things’ turns the band's outsider philosophy into a potent rallying cry for anyone determined to think for themselves.
