Walk With Elias: A Review 

#2 Elias' Words

Elias' vocals are a far cry from Freddie Mercury; but, they are better than most and fit perfectly with his chord oriented style of acoustic playing

Elias' Words is sung and performed in the vein of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Johnny Cash. Elias' vocals are a far cry from Freddie Mercury; but, they are better than most and fit perfectly with his chord oriented style of acoustic playing.

This is quite obviously a singer-songwriter whose songs hinge just as much on what he's saying and less so on how he is singing them.WWE Creative has somewhat failed in getting Elias to exhibit the other side of his mentally unstable persona.

Yes, he is a musician: a fine singer-songwriter; however, years of not being appreciated for his craft have turned him bitter and frankly deranged and delusional.

He is now one part cult leader and legions of admirers have become his cult. They are willing participants, even cheerleaders, for his departure into madness. The lyrics in Elias' Words undoubtedly confirm this.

In Elias' Words, Elias plays the role of a cult leader. He warns his willing audience that following any other advice apart from his own is a path to destruction.

This includes positivity. Unmistakably, Elias is exceptionally comfortable with self-praise and adulation; however, his lyrics reveal that he is unwilling to heap praise upon anyone other than himself,

"Everyone thinks they're so special. I'm here to tell you that you're not. The only words that matter in this life are the ones that Elias' got."

Elias' Words is where the movement of positivity goes to die. Somewhere New Day is crying in their Booty O's.
