From the recording Captured Fragments
The lyrics are about my general aversion toward the momentous amount of shitty events that took place in 2020. Perhaps a psychoanalyst would see even more in them. The lyrics are a bit esoteric. My sub-conscious was definitely spewing on this one. I kneaded the words and phrases against the texture and flow of the already developed musical content. What emerged is something special. A real rocker! The song slowly builds, creating an incredible sonic vibe with many subtle aural sweet spots.
Lyrics
Chugging down the Qi
V1
Stained glass windows broken
The shit upon, plain folk, discarded and forgotten
The sea of swelling slogans
And sky that always follows the long sleep of exhausted
Chugging down the Qi, waking underneath a park bench
Manhattan calves, a butterfly laughs at a snowflake
Ch
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase, 2020s face,
this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off without you
{Verse bare}
Ch
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase, 2020s face,
this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off without you
{instr}
Bridge
V3
Lonely bird you make me smile
So smeared across the day I think I'm bending in straight spirals
Come on mon, mop the ground
Out beyond the hobbit hill, I can prove the Earth is round
Ch
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase, 2020s face,
this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off without you
