about

This song is for a game main menu screen for a game we are working on by the same name, 'Modern Entropy'. We made this song with the idea in mind that entropy has always been around, but the kind we have now is a very modern kind of condition - having to make sure the alarm wakes us up, going to work and back, having messes pile up and be cleaned up again, having limited free time and choosing what you do with it each day, choosing who you talk to or befriend, or who you date, and the dating game. However we made the song itself reflect 80's/90's feeling vaporwave disco styles.

We were joined by Bruce Parsons who composed additional synth and piano parts. Thanks for joining us, Bruce!

After Bruce joined us, in a final jam session Masha added a lead and a dub echo lead throughout the song, and later an intro when she was going to sing.

We hope you enjoy! Thanks for listening.

Lyrics by Masha Solo and Craig Conley for this version, with Craig's in parentheses.

Neons Gone Mad also made a video for it: youtu.be/0q7x7fvAAxU

lyrics

I put my things in order
They’re in disarray
I feel like this is natural
Though initially I felt nothing but dismay
Realisation hit me once again
I should not be surprised by now
Chaos is the natural state
I’ve since learned
(Mod Entropy)
These days we’ve a
(We atrophy)
Modern kind of entropy
(Debauchery)
The kind that envelops you
(Melancholy)
In chores and mediocrity
(We can't attain)
No secret cheat or recipe
(We must abstain)
Can fully stop its anarchy
(With some disdain)
It doesn’t care about anybody
(It's all inane)
Chaos is the natural state…
(Let’s all decay)
It’s fair and treats us equally
(Degenerate)
Though charmlessly and caustically
(Go on the wane)
Every day is a blank slate
Just don’t let yourself forget-
(Go down the drain)
Chaos is the natural state
[Interstitial]
(Abbreviate)
(Like this quatrain)
(Just pull the chain)
I’ve since learned
(Mod entropy)
That chaos is the natural state
(We atrophy)
That chaos is the natural state
(Debauchery)
That chaos in perpetual state,
(Melancholy)
Is chaos in the natural state

Archmage Band Australia

Rob and Masha founded Archmage Band in 2013 after they got a gift of a synthesiser from Masha’s dad. Since then, the two have been busy creating tunes that were mostly unheard until 2016 when they released The Bonfire Party - a collection of demos - and later in 2021, with their style having evolved, some finished songs. They aim to combine synth pop with chiptunes and dream pop. ... more
