Unobtainium from Unobtainium by The Cyberiam
Track 7 is the title track, “Unobtainium.” The concept stems from a fictional term “Unobtainium” which is a metaphor for the the things in life we think we need but rarely attain. For example, that guitar you've always wanted or that dream job or gig. Then even on those rare occasions that someone actually achieves or gets their “Unobtainium,” they simply move on to something else that seems unattainable. The song has a very classic metal feel hinting at Metallica in parts and Megadeth in others. Keith's vocals shine on this track.

Lyrics
When you're dreaming but it’s empty
You will reach but you will never reach your goal
You pray unobtainium
You wish unobtainium
You beg unobtainium
You want unobtainium
Always searching
For that something you can't find
Undeserving
Of the feeling that you're
Never gonna get it
When the grass is always greener
You will walk but you will never leave the path behind
I strive unobtainium
I crave unobtainium
I found unobtainium
It’s mine unobtainium
Always searching
For that something you can't find
Undeserving
Of the feeling that you're
Never gonna get it
Stop pretending
If you seek then you shall find
Nothing matters
If you deny that
Be careful what you wish for
Always searching
For that something you can't find
Undeserving
Of the feeling that you're
Never gonna get it
Stop pretending
If you seek then you shall find
Nothing matters
If you deny that
Be careful what you wish for

Comprised of some of Chicago’s most accomplished musicians, The Cyberiam have come together to create their own unique brand of hard/heavy progressive rock.
Influenced by bands like Dream Theater, Marillion, and Rush, their music has been described as the “heavy, atmospheric prog of bands like Porcupine Tree and Tool with a good melodic and pop sensibility”. Their live shows are simply stunning.
