I have synesthesia and it's also that I can sort of smell/taste some songs too. Different sounds in a song can be like watercolor like bursts of colour. But if I want to concentrate on a single instrument I can close my eyes and sort of watch it dance around as a certain colour line. For example some keyboards on FTR are pastel mint green for some reason.
Some songs have that sort of an atmosphere that it's super strong and it's like almost like touching something or tasting something. Some songs on Blooddrunk smell like a warm rainy muddy weather, they feel like sticking your toes into soft dirt. Transference smells like shitty coin machine coffee, the intro guitar sound is a metallic silver grey that fades into purple... Shovel Knockout smells like wet cardboard, the bass in the beginning is this weird yellow/grey/orange and then the guitars come in, they're light blue and pastel purple. The colors are always in harmony even if they may sound like strange combinations.
Keyboard sounds are soft, slimy, shiny, squishy, guitar sounds are like lightning and the colors are metallic and shiny.
Vocals look/feel kind of static. At least raspy, scream vocals.
Mask Of Sanity is one of my all time favorite songs because it is really just such an enjoyable experience and it smells so fresh, no matter where I am it's like a late october day and the air is so cold it's kinda like sour. The colours are so vibrant and nice and it always makes me feel awesome. I really just often find a song that I like and just listen to it again and again and again. Three hours of Tie My Rope? yes.
I think its cool that I've often seen green and purple come up in conversations about this bc those are very dominant colors in my COB experience and you dont even understand how happy I was about the cover art of Hexed. I was kind of wishing for a pink art too since I know they could have made it work.
