Wax Mekanix Releases Lyric Video for song: Once Upon A Lie.

Wax Mekanix returns with a new video in support of the freshly released album: Psychotomimetic, from Electric Talon Records.

The video brings in a psychedelic vibe, the same as the song itself does. The lyrics tell a tale about a psycho-feeling when you visit a place that has darkness, but also a strange vibe. As if you entered Hell, or perhaps even a parallel universe, where everything seems familiar yet also very different from your usual contrasts.

The song also makes you wonder about life. Is everything that happens real? Or is it all happening inside our imaginations?

Is it all true? Or is life a lie?

“Once Upon A Lie”

“Who vets the proctor? Watches the watcher?”

“Nothing shocks us inside the killbox”

~Wax Mekanix~

Driven by a deceptively satisfying ominous thick groove that’s punctuated by serrated melodic guitars, mysterious vocals, and a slamming rhythm section, Wax offers the trippy perspective of the masochistic ‘lied-to’.

In a voice meaningfully different from the urgency of 2020’s “Mobocracy” and 2021’s “Blunt”, his 3 minutes and 22 seconds truth experiment illustrates the duality of the insatiable global masses for exponentially increasing deep fakes.

offers up the notion that people are not innocently duped by overwhelming misinformation. Wax slips into the skin of those who willingly court intellectual and spiritual immolation just to see how it feels. He is no neophyte. He’s sober, wide-eyed, accepting, and welcoming toward the endless torrent of prevarication. Curiously resolved to experience the inevitable fallout of the ebb and flow of truth vs. lies.

Wax leaves us with a parting lyrical wink of, “I’m on to your jive. Cons breed your demise”. Is that for the liar, the lied to, or both?
