NSFW Skirmish: Refraction (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
Lyrics
Refraction Is a word I know I don’t know what it means Although I think I should
Refraction It’s a fucking joke I could just look it up Although it feels too much
And so I’ll just stay dumb inside My brain is like a weak fart The disappointing kind When you’re pushing HARD and hoping it’s a big one
Refraction Shut the fuck up yo I get it you’re so smart Still I don’t wanna know
Refraction It’s the name of the game I almost didn’t come But then I came too hard
And so I’ll just stay home and hide My brain is like a weak fart The temperamental fool Like a disappointing tool Like an orgasm and nothing comes out
I told you how it’s gonna end You’re probably hearing this and wish you didn’t start

too catchy. too funny. excellent!
love the groove change in your bridge.
Haha this is so gross!! Artie you’re on fire-just be careful not to produce the fuel for too big of a musical explosion!
Do you have to be a genius every single time? Do you have to exude such sexy sexy energy? Must you be everything and then some?
I love this ejaculatory defecatory as a metaphor for inferiority complex theme - pushing hard and hoping its a big one could almost be a line from an 80s montage song
This is so fun and unexpected! It really comes across like you didn’t overthink the lyrics which, personally I find, can be easier said than done. Recording is nice and crisp too.
This is some high quality folk punk, and it’s just what I needed to hear this morning to get me geared up for the day. It’s funny, it’s catchy, it’s clever! What more could you want?
Palm-muted acoustic is punk AF! Love the funny lyrics - it's a nice contrast to the intense singing and playing - yo. This would be an awesome album track between longer songs.
I love this, especially the lil scream at the beginning. The weak fart comparison is phenomenal.
hahahaha “my brain is like a weak fart” is such a relatable line. this made me laugh. definitely do NOT wish i didn’t start. i’m glad i started. nice job
Ha, I get it you're so smart, this is all great and I really want to hear a rocking out version of this that's furious for like 52 seconds, like the Decendants
Loved it - ha, gave me a real chuckle at the end. Lately I'm really liking the sound of punk played on acoustic guitar with a solo voice - sounds really great!
Oh boy oh boy! Truly something like this could only come at the end of a very long songwriting day. So energetic and fun. Me and the goat wish you many strong farts.
Yup. It's a bookend nightcap delirium-infused toe-tap to a fun and full day of writing, playing, and recording. Tell you and the goat, thanks.
Dude there are too many lines to list as my favorites.... but I'm gonna do it anyway :)
And so I’ll just stay dumb inside My brain is like a weak fart The disappointing kind When you’re pushing HARD and hoping it’s a big one Shut the fuck up yo I get it you’re so smart I almost didn’t come But then I came too hard Like an orgasm and nothing comes out
^ this last one here, you might have tapped into some latent fear I have, because this line is gonna haunt me lol. Love the acoustic punk rock man. It hits!
