Backstory:
Revolving Existence was born in the heart of Chicago’s underground music scene in the late 90s. The band was formed by a quartet of college friends – lead singer Sam Bentley, guitarist Derek Adams, drummer Lucy O’Reilly, and bassist Jake Morrison. Each brought their unique musical influences to the table, creating a melting pot of creativity that soon took the local scene by storm. Their desire to experiment with their sound, combined with their thought-provoking lyrics, resonated with the audience, turning them into an overnight sensation.
The band’s journey hasn’t always been smooth, with several near-breakups and countless studio clashes. However, their shared passion for music and mutual respect always managed to keep them together. Over the last two decades, Revolving Existence has released six studio albums and has played at some of the biggest music festivals worldwide. Despite their success, they remain as down-to-earth and committed to their fans as they were on day one.

Title:
“Shards of Reality”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em | G | D | A
Through the mirror of my mind, I see the world in shards,
Em | G | D | A
Each piece reflecting the truth, both light and dark.
Em | G | D | A
Walking on the edge of sanity, teetering on the brink,
Em | G | D | A
In the abyss of existence, one can only sink.
(Chorus)
C | Em | G | D
In the revolving existence, we spin out of control,
C | Em | G | D
Searching for meaning, in the deepest corners of our soul.
C | Em | G | D
In the shards of reality, we find our truth unfold,
C | Em | G | D
In the revolving existence, we keep the world on hold.
(Verse 2)
Em | G | D | A
In the reflection of my heart, I see the world in flames,
Em | G | D | A
Each spark igniting the fire, of existential games.
Em | G | D | A
Balancing on the precipice of dreams, teetering on the edge,
Em | G | D | A
In the vortex of existence, one can only pledge.
(Chorus)
C | Em | G | D
In the revolving existence, we spin out of control,
C | Em | G | D
Searching for meaning, in the deepest corners of our soul.
C | Em | G | D
In the shards of reality, we find our truth unfold,
C | Em | G | D
In the revolving existence, we keep the world on hold.
