Made It 03:43
Ain’t you too old to be feeling this faded Ain’t you too young to be feeling this jaded All to amount to a mind that frustrated Signs you haven’t yet made it Blood of bold ‘cause the clout has mutated Wise to the one when the lust is primated Floating around in a spot that’s most hated Signs your demons invaded Bear with me, yes I see You’ll compete, socially That’s great Swear to me, that you’ll leave This whole scene, don’t repeat Mistakes Now, all I’m asking is that you keep off flirty chicks, cigarettes Morning brain pain, and refrain from boarding planes I know it’s been calling you lately I just wanna know if you’ll make it No more point in trying now baby Systems indicating they’re failing Everything blurring and fading I don’t even hear what you’re saying I just wanna know if you made it Made it Made it On a new level no, I’m on a new plane On the mount I’m looking down with disdain Everybody just wanna be me Only got the baddest bitches fucking with me Winner with the glimmer, everybody wanna know How a man ever hit the god mode How a man ever got the cheat codes No more lagging hit the gas and hit go Done shit live, hit that vibe Hot boy mind, big gunnin’ Loaded broadsides Lost that mind, hit that slide Downhill dive, start runnin’ Turn your shit offline Now all I’m asking is that you pack up before distractions got you Actin’ up, making a fuss I know it’s been calling you lately I just wanna know if you’ll make it No more point in trying now baby Systems indicating they’re failing Everything blurring and fading I don’t even hear what you’re saying I just wanna know if you made it Made it Made it -- I know it’s been calling you lately I just wanna know if you’ll make it No more point in trying now baby Systems indicating they’re failing Everything blurring and fading I don’t even hear what you’re saying I just wanna know if you made it Made it Everything blurring and fading I don’t even hear what you’re saying I just wanna know if you made it Made it Made it

Biggest Fan 03:55
The way you laugh at all my stupid jokes And how you fucking hate it when I smell like smoke The other pretty girls may say they wanna ride You should already know that I’m not that type of guy So when I - So when I try to find out what you need I’m really wishing you could tell me what that could be Because I’d like to say I’m here to help out when I can Or just listen when there aren’t answers that I have The little jingles that you sing Got that rhythm, got that swing Remind me of the good and bad And all the little quirks you bring I feel so fortunate that You happened to land on my lap Despite the fights, you know that I still am Your biggest fan I’m your biggest fan Your biggest fan I’m your biggest fan To my homie, brother lonely, know Don’t be so jaded, you are fated for a path to grow Though not much older, a stakeholder, you should know that I’m Trying my best to get you off these fucking SSRIs So keep trying So keep on trying to upgrade, work that plan ‘Cause in your future I see you glowed up to be the fucking man So keep caring, just love as much as you can afford That monster can’t do much under that mountain of swords No matter how dark or how bleak You won’t lose that support from me Be that net that I never had To keep your mind off of that tree I feel so fortunate that I can come to you for a little chitchat Like the other two tools, two fools, yes I still am Your biggest fan I’m your biggest fan Your biggest fan Your biggest fan Back then, no friends to hear what I’m saying My left did write while I dreamt of flying At the age of 5, I’ve Learned I didn’t like life Had to learn the right rites To become a bright light No belief In these achievements And this bereavement Girls with the last names of woodwind instruments Initial image of flowers floating overhead Caught Under this inconsistent confidence My thoughts would overextend Inefficient at that written part Appreciate the chance for an oral start At the corner of these Japanese bars, This A’s tryna get to Z Thank the Ideal for my family That is, the majesty Giving out deals to the galaxy And most importantly Keep composure over sober Turn a trip from my travesty Looking up, I know I see G Issa E rest in peace Looking back down Watching me turn it around These thoughts that I lost and then found Just to return with some more Looking back to the Old Soul to strengthen up the core Listen up and loud I’ll be There’s love that wants to set you free There are moments to be had It doesn’t matter what you bring I feel so fortunate that I got that light turned good from bad And all the people that I know I have I’m your biggest fan I’m your biggest fan Your biggest fan I’m your biggest fan I don’t wanna wake up to find out that you’re not there I don’t wanna wake up to find out that you’re not there Try so hard just to be here for ya Anchor myself to this earth now for ya 24/7 gonna be here for ya I’m your biggest fan Your biggest fan I’ll be your man

T-t-tell me how does it feel to be finally off the wall At the rate we’re going it don’t seem real I can’t take the fear of the fall All I know is I’ve been thinking about both of us All alone In my head I’ve just been going through the both of us 'Tween the sheets atop my bed Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit How can I get a bit more of you o-whoa-oh How can I get more of you o-whoa-oh Get a bit more of you o-whoa-oh How can I get more of you o-whoa-oh To the letter I try to show nothing other than being cool Is it better For you to know Love that’s seeking the deepest hue All I know Is I’ve been going through all your voicemails On my phone In my head I’ve just been thinking ‘bout the stupid shit That I probably thought I said Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit How can I get a bit more more of you Bit more of you (x5) She likes to hate what I like to hate she really loves what I think is great She likes to hate what I like to hate she really loves what I think is great Don’t wanna fall Oh shit too late Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit Dirty, nerdy-minded kid Who just can’t get a rush like this How can I get another hit How can I get a bit more more of you o-whoa-oh How can I get more of you o-whoa-oh Just a bit more of you o-whoa-oh How can I get more of you o-whoa-oh

Baby would you dance for me Underneath the water Held your breath and went to sleep ‘Til the end Did you stay to conquer me To leave me for no other Or do you hold your cover deep Play pretend In this Living life, it’s funny how we coincide Come and go Just cycling repeating tides Send your line into mine I’ll intonate, gravitate Do what you want, keep you up late When you stay I’ll get you moving like this Get you rising with that mist Get you flowing to that wave Catch you splashing Baby would you dance for me Underneath the water Held your breath and went to sleep ‘Til the end Did you stay to conquer me To keep me for no other Do you hold that cover deep Play pretend Steady rocking in the night We don’t gotta care to stay afloat Further from the moonlight Don’t worry ‘bout air, just let it go Let that colour flow from deep inside your head Embrace the green from rosy red Slowly moving up from our mind’s eye Calmly covered in gold ‘Til we meld minds Softly smother my soul 'Til the end times Take me out of this hole Feel your way Feel your way Baby would you dance for me Underneath the water Held your breath and went to sleep ‘Til the end Did you stay to conquer me To keep me for no other Or do you hold that cover deep Play pretend -- Baby would you dance with me (Underneath the water) Would you hold your breath for me Did you stay to conquer me (Leave me for no other) Do you hold that cover deep Hold that cover deep And if you took a trip with me Maybe you can see Descriptions here are much deeper that words Herd your empathy Remind yourself your breath is all you have Flying in this dream Kill your sense of self tied to this time inside this stream And if you took this trip with me Maybe you can see Descriptions here are much deeper that words Herd your empathy Remind yourself your breath is all you have Flying in this dream Kill your sense of self tied to this time inside this stream Found you down on the floor Mind tied up to the lord Mind too close the Self Box of pride on the shelf Don’t know what you’re saying What song did you hear us playing The moment you find that it whispers to you It’s turning on you Bang

Quick Hands 04:30
I can’t even come to terms with time And all the things that moved me to this stride Even after vengeance was born from hate Eternity has come to dictate my fate I can’t quite describe The feelings in my head in my old life Right before my time comes to die Know what I’ll do With kingdom true The end is soon For stupid motherfuckers like you These serpents sing As I stand atop this cliff Insisting that the wind will be enough to lift me My thoughts I bring This heavy mind they know I have Will be the one to break my balance down and tip me I can’t find the wisdom that I seek Lost the drive to move inside That wind beneath my wings, now I know that it all ends up on me To discern from black and white In this time encased in night Know that I seek Merely more than just revenge I’ll make you want to beg to see the end Until we meet Fire burns inside my chest Learned fury that strives inside my head All that is right Will come to light In this time encased in night I can’t find the wisdom that I seek Cross that tally, mark the fifth To the magnum on my hip, now I know that it all ends up on me Put these cowboys to bed Heavy metal, heavy lead Led down that road ‘Til the end now Baby, I don’t know I was led down that road ‘Til the end now Baby, I don’t know I can’t quite describe The burden of my debt to my old life Everything I did led into regret Now Imma show the pain I haven’t shown These stupid motherfuckers yet My eyes don’t fear The sight of hardship anymore My heart’s sincere To cherish what you gained is to lose I can’t have that again Can’t have that again In my success This will be the end I can’t find the wisdom that I seek But judges will rejoice When they all hear the sinners sing, now I know that it all ends up on me With my quick hands I’ll dispel thunder

Could you tell me how you feel On display Could you sleep with me whispering Songs of sinners I know I’ve been calling you Too much Just wanna let you know You don’t gotta stand there alone Suffered in silence Outwardly quiet Don’t know where to begin Drowning with sirens Statues and riots On display mannequin Fearing an off- brand I am I am Suffering in silence Outwardly quiet Don’t know where to begin Drawn to the sirens Statues and riots On display mannequin Head on my nightstand Hoping for clarity Kept my disguise on Changed my humanity I kept all my lights on I kept my eyes on Awkwardly horny Pre-morning glory Journey journal of conscious decisions Murder fantasy Internal in-fighting Stupid ramblings of a man who don’t wanna be here no more Finding a reason to still be here Bitch, I don’t wanna be here no more

All Night 03:53
Heading out Heat of the night No one else On the road tonight Well now You know what my heart is thinking The thought of you has got my body sinking now I’ve been thinking about you I’ve been thinking about you I wanna show you how I feel I wanna show you how I feel - I feel I - oh my Wanna keep you up all night - oh my I - oh my Wanna keep you up all night - oh my I (x4) I want to keep you up all night Motor revs To my beating heart I’m coming to get to you You’re a work of art My foot To the floor blazing past try to get through Closing the distance for my love to reach you now I’ve been thinking about you I’ve been thinking about you I wanna show you how I feel I wanna show you how I feel - I feel I - oh my Wanna keep you up all night - oh my I - oh my Wanna keep you up all night - oh my I (x4) I want to keep you up all night Oh my This night revealing My blood on the ceiling A pause to this meeting I still gotta go This night revealing My heart on the ceiling My vision is fleeting I want you to know I want you to know (x6) I’ve been thinking about you I’ve been thinking about you I wanna show you how I feel I wanna show you how I feel - I feel I - oh my Wanna keep you up all night - oh my I - oh my Wanna keep you up all night - oh my I (x4) I want to keep you up all night

about

Astral Nomad Toronto, Ontario

Astral Nomad's music can be described as the love child of Daft Punk and Kavinsky, whom Andre 3000 occasionally babysat as it grew to be best friends with Frank Ocean.

Their mix of intricate grooves, popping synths, smooth melodies and just a pinch of goofiness makes them a trio to be experienced.
