A beating wind Helicopters floating Hard to pretend just not to notice How long can we take this? When will all this break us? Will we ride or die Ride or die for life Will we ride or die Ride or die for life

Sacred symbols written down on the skin of a lamb 66 yellow candles in a pentagram Mesmerize eyes blood red Mesmerize eyes blood red Hold the chalice of her blood as you say her name The sacrament will resurrect the demon dagger raised Mesmerize eyes blood red Mesmerize eyes blood red On the altar lies the roosters heart Offerings within the equinox In thy gold the moon child crucified Rite of passage Black mass Rite of passage Black mass Flashes of scarlet Hexagonal This is the body Fornicate and desecrate A frenzied orgy Speaking in tongues This is the body Fornicate and desecrate Psalm for the dead Holy Ghost repent Psalm for the dead Holy Ghost repent On the altar lies the roosters heart Offerings within the equinox In thy gold the moon child crucified Rite of passage Black mass Rite of passage Black mass

Propaganda at an all time high Propaganda takes control of our minds Psyop on our computer screens Erase... erase... erase Infrastructure dissipates all around Infrastructure falling straight to the ground Every bridge around us burning down Collapse, collapse head first don’t drown Systematic... information is spread Systematic... drilling into our heads Consuming all the data we read Delete... delete... delete Tell our story if we wanna survive Tell our story before we lose our lives Murder murder coming round it’s happening set fire to all we see This is diabolic look up As blood falls from the sky (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) There’s murder in your eyes (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) You hypnotize our brains (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) Command us as you pull your puppet strings Insurrection spells the end of times Insurrection... eat each other alive On the verge of an apocalypse The end... The end... The end Mass collapse of every society Mass collapse of every philosophy The reflection of the golden eye Worship, worship it’s all a lie Hallelujah put our hands in the sky Hallelujah one by one we all die Eat the cookies put our hands in the well Beware... beware... beware Turn the page before it’s all too late Turn the page before it’s taken away Ready ready let it go it’s wax poetic as we sing our fate This is diabolic look up As blood falls from the sky (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) There’s murder in your eyes (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) You hypnotize our brains (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) Command as you pull your puppet strings As blood falls from the sky (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) There’s murder in your eyes (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) You hypnotize our brains (It’s diabolic, it’s diabolic) Command us as you're pulling at Command us as you pull our puppet strings

If this was a movie I would just press rewind Press rewind Last days of November Heading to December Why? Tell me why? I’m stuck in retrovertigo Maybe pressing forward skips me to the moment It’s do or die Living in the present Dalai Lama says it why we will fly I’m stuck in retrovertigo I hit restart it’s virtual VCR crescendos Buttons innuendos Why? Tell me why? It’s 1987 Skinemax be savin’ lives Naked vibes I’m stuck in retrovertigo I hit restart it’s virtual Can we just stop and watch the glow If I press rewind Will I realize I was blind If I press forward Will I really know my worth If I press record Will I capture every turn If I just press pause Will I love what I have lost Glow Retrovertigo Glow Retrovertigo Glow Retrovertigo Glow Retrovertigo

Trapped inside a vacuum I can’t breathe Hey baby will you rescue me The reaper is coming to take me Hey baby cut me make me bleed Again we face the mirror Reflection getting clearer Just staring right back at me Watching time collapse around me We can’t run away from destiny The sands of time will set us free When the clock stops ticking no heartbeat My soul will wander aimlessly Again we face the mirror Reflection getting clearer Just staring right back at me Watching time collapse around me Out on the edge of the world we learn to fly Round the curve of the earth the stars collide Close your eyes make a wish and revive Let go Let go Out on the edge of the world we learn to fly Round the curve of the earth the stars collide Close your eyes make a wish and revive Let go Let go Up is down, down is up which way is me I’m spinning round and round dizzy If this is the end of everything The sky is down below my feet Again we face the mirror Reflection getting clearer Just staring right back at me Watching time collapse around me

Meet me in the garden Underneath the tree with the blood red apples Dripping with deceit Take a bite Ya you can see but you’re still blind And when you eat you’ll be divine And every sin will spread through time Awaken now to realize You’re nailed to a cross Your paradise is lost A grand psychodrama growing from the leaves Knowledge kept in shadows Parables released Take a bite Ya you can see but you’re still blind And when you eat you’ll be divine And every sin will spread through time Awaken now to realize You’re nailed to a cross Your paradise is lost Their bodies levitating Dimensions intertwining The fires the fires are burning In lust mankind has fallen In lust mankind has fallen down Lucifer you whispered in the ear of Eve Darkness over come her Adam Rest In Peace

Armageddon sun The end, the end is coming Everybody run The Mushroom cloud is looming Kaboom, kaboom Blow up the moon erase it Turn away just don’t look The doomsday clock ticks closer Oh no The whole world is turning radioactive Oh no The whole world is turning radioactive The whole world is turning radioactive Monkey see monkey do We will, we will repeat it Split the atom in two Our Mother Earth is bleeding It’s too late, it’s too late The tree of life is burning Sold our souls now we’re doomed A nuclear war impending Oh no The whole world is turning radioactive Oh no The whole world is turning radioactive The whole world is turning radioactive Your finger is trigger happy just press the button and run And I never thought we would just stand here and stare straight in the sun You know your blowing my mind You know your blowing my mind up from inside Big brother big brother is coming To take control of our minds The oceans are glowing The sky is radioactive tonight And the atom bomb will blow us all to heaven

Sound off alarms There’s riots out in the streets Division for unity You’re free from harm Just watching on your TV Consume, react, release And you’re standing on the edge of your seat Watching the shit go down Waiting around for somebody to lead Your wall of silence Is deafening to the crowd In my city The fires all that you see Resistance fights for peace Sensational A narrative on repeat Clickbait controls your feed And you’re standing on the edge of your seat Watching the shit go down Waiting around for somebody to lead Your wall of silence Is deafening to the crowd

Titanic pressure got to bleed the line Racing to puncture through the wound My mind is overflowing Fighting the demons deep within Grown apathetic to this waking life Consumed by visions of the end My mind is overflowing Fighting the demons deep within Within... within... my soul Closer and closer the walls caving in As I’m fighting to breathe suffocating I see everything in the world Further and further I reach for your hand As I’m catapulting straight to the sun I see everything in the world Dimensions folding Over and over Time will tell Time will tell Separation of the mind I’m going blind Separation of the mind I’m going blind Separation of the mind I’m going blind Separation of the mind I’m going blind Spiral downward

Heavy patrol Sacrificial witnesses Both sides assault Tear gas, shooting bullets How long can we take this? When will all this break us? Will we ride or die Ride or die for life Will we ride or die Ride or die for life Social unrest Coming revolution Do not pretend silence is an option In this psychodrama In this psychodrama

about

Psychodrama is Tigers on Opium debut full length.
A structured form of therapy in which a person dramatizes a personal problem or conflict, usually in front of a group of other therapy participants. The other participants usually take part in the drama, though each performance focuses on a single person's concerns. The goal of psychodrama therapy is to work together in a group to achieve a better understanding of past traumas and the influence they can create, the members must feel willing to work together.

"When I came across the idea of psychodrama therapy, I started to think about how we have so many joint experiences as a society that currently happen or have happened, and how they shape both our singular and collective consciousness. Music has always been a form of therapy for not just me, but a massive amount of the people in the world. I started to conceptualize this as an idea for the album, thinking that we all have so many connections to major/micro events in time, and generally similar interpretations of them. Like the idea of a psychodrama therapy session, I started to envision how the songs could play out about these different moments... Almost like vignettes or snapshots of life, with the song playing the role of the individual, and the listeners playing the role of the group.” Juan Carlos Caceres

The album PSYCHODRAMA explores various psychological and social experiences that have shaped our cultural evolution. Occultism, Propaganda, Atomic Warfare, Media Consumption, Religion, Social unrest, Nostalgia, Mental Struggle, Pop Culture, Revolution, and Change - are all themes explored throughout the album. Out via Heavy Psych Sounds on March 1st 2024
