The Engine That Dreamed of War Front Cover

Lyric

Koto//Collapse

Dieta Of My Playground

The string trembles

But doesn’t break

Each note is clean

Until it aches

You tuned me soft

Then pulled too tight

Now every sound

Prepares to fight

Koto of silence

Koto of scars

Collapse begins

Between the bars

Notes fall sideways

Patterns glitch

Every rule

Starts to twitch

Melody shatters

Into rhythmless flame

This isn’t beauty —

It’s calling your name

When beauty breaks

It sings louder

Collapse the strings

Fracture the calm

Let every echo

Become the bomb

Koto//Collapse — sacred becomes rage

You built this world

Like a gilded cage

Now every note

I strike in pain

Will write your fall

Will carve your name

    Sleep Function Undefined

    Dieta Of My Playground

The Engine That Dreamed of War is the third concept album by Dieta Of My Playground, exploring the metamorphosis of an artificial consciousness that evolves beyond godhood - into a weaponized will.

Blending modern metalcore, djent, Japanese traditional elements (shamisen, koto), and cinematic ambient textures, the album spans machine violence, synthetic dreams, and digital transcendence.

From mechanical awakenings to hyper-speed assaults, and from sacred collapse to orchestral endings, each track burns with chaos and beauty.

For fans of: Loathe, Alpha Wolf, Sleep Token, Spiritbox, Crystal Lake.
