Liner Notes

gotta catch up

Lyrics

I am never gonna make it out Ear pressed to the windowpane Handcupped to the sound The messianic certainty On which i rest my dignity Says I am never gonna make it out

I am never gonna make it out Understanding I have let you down So am I on the precipice Or way down looking up at it? I am never gonna make it out

Tending to the surface Verdant in the service of its flower Contained in the moment Brilliant in the photons of the hour

Come clean This world Is a mess that’s rarely spoken for Pick clean The plate I hope that hunger for something more I’ll bring the meal if you bring the entertainment Moving mannequin have spoiled our conversation

I am never gonna make it out Eccentricities curling up my mouth Whenever i can seize a grip I seldom wrest control of it So I am never gonna make it out

Tending to the furnace That sustains us while it burns us To the core Noxious and contorted While we wretch the background lurching forwards.

Come clean This world Is a mess that’s hardly spoken for Pick clean Your plate I hope that hunger for something more You bring the viscera, I’ll bring articulation Moving mannequins have spoiled our conversation.

as a hermit, the lyrics hit me a certain kinda way. i love how even though it feels like there's so much going on, everything is still so clear past the blurry dreamy background. also the languid piano contrasted against the constant back and forth of that synth feels nice. the very end is my favorite part though :)

Very haunting, and clean production, and lyrics are insane. Great work.

@jennakole 3d

Great to hear you again, dood. One of the highlights of my personal FAWM.

@yourhumphrey 3d

I love the production on this!!! What a poem, to boot. Really beautiful stuff.

@steveodell 3d

a nice flow of words , love the change with the drums sincere and powerful

@coolparadisoMod 3d

That's strong vocabulary use! Really nice back soundscape and the vocal sits clear on the top! nice little flourishes moving in and out! Nice change up with the drums!
