Backstory:
Quixotic Fraud was born from the smoky back rooms of university dormitories. Four philosophy students, who’d spent countless nights discussing the mysteries of existence, gave up their academic pursuits to explore the world of music. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Aiden Bishop, drummer Max Harper, bassist Danny O’Connor, and keyboardist Eli Davis. Each member writes their own pieces, infusing their philosophical teachings into their music, with the intention of awakening their audience’s consciousness. They packed their bags, moved to Chicago’s vibrant music scene, and started playing in underground clubs, exposing their unique sound to the world.

Title:
“Paradoxical Puzzle”
Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:
Verse 1 (Em – D – C – Am):
In the echoes of silence, under the neon haze,
Drowning in the stream of consciousness, lost in the maze,
I found myself in the mirror’s gaze,
Unraveling the paradoxical puzzle, setting my soul ablaze.
Chorus (G – D – Am – C):
Oh, the Quixotic Fraud we live, it’s a cosmic riddle,
Chasing shadows, entangled in the middle,
Unseen chains, in our minds they twiddle,
Wake up, break free, listen to life’s fiddle.
Verse 2 (Em – D – C – Am):
Mirrors within mirrors, the illusion multiplies,
Reality is a perspective, truth often lies.
Breaking our mental chains, beneath the starry skies,
Unmasking Quixotic Fraud, as the old world dies.
Chorus (G – D – Am – C):
Oh, the Quixotic Fraud we live, it’s a cosmic riddle,
Chasing shadows, entangled in the middle,
Unseen chains, in our minds they twiddle,
Wake up, break free, listen to life’s fiddle.
Outro (Em – D – G):
In the grand theater of existence, we perform our parts,
Quixotic Fraud unveiled, as the final curtain parts,
Echoing silence, the music of the hearts,
We’re all but stardust, in the cosmic arts.
