about
scheduled for release 2023 on “basic moves”, belgium
originally produced around 2001, remixed around 2007
based on a poem I wrote in high school sometime around 1988. I wanted to do something downtempo, hip hop, and futuristic. I can't think of a better commentary right now on the state of the world. Sometimes everything seems like it's too much. so I'm trying to describe the feeling of wanting to just give up and leave this stupid world. it works on a couple of levels, actually. yes, it's partly also about broken hearts and relationship decay, and it's simultaneously about competition in the industry and how crushing it all is. humans are always seeming to
try to push you down, who’s the best???? Interestingly, there is a strong note of positivity and hope that runs underneath “but sometimes happiness happens!”
lyrics
whos better ?
whos the best ?
u cant do this
u cant do that
but keep it movin
going fast
whatever you do
dont end up last
who's the best?
who's better?????
u know, your better off dead
there's a gun in your hand
point it at your head
pray for the strength
to break through the pain
PUT A BULLET IN THE BRAIN
failing falling pain at LAST
remember that heart, all torn apart?
plenty too much when remember-cide
views corrode mind EXPLODES
whos better ?
whos stronger
whos the best ?
DONT YOU KNOW????
another social overload
another social overload
another social OVERLOAD!
shapes god damn they follow me
commands are followed easily
who laughs, the last laugh??
who laughs??? WHO LAUGHS
walk away HOT, here to stay……
the nightmare walks so indurate obdurate
devoid of life, drained to emotionless
thankful for glass to smash
malice, pain inside, alleviate?
its much too late.
THE SOUL WILL FALL
our future’s bleak
but understood
but sometimes
happiness happens.
however unlikely
a perpetual hope
soothing the soul
and providing a goal.
heaven takes what heaven wants
no one complains or makes a stand
condemned to hell
stepped on walked on
feeling like dust
the ultimate object of disgust
im feeling like DUST
feeling like, feeling like
another SOCIAL OVERLOAD
u know, you're better off dead
there's a gun in your hand
point it at your head
pray for the strength
to break through the pain
PUT A BULLET IN THE BRAIN
failing falling pain at LAST
remember that heart, all torn apart?
plenty too much when remember-cide
views corrode mind EXPLODES
whos better ?
whos stronger
whos the best ?
DONT YOU KNOW????
another social overload….
whos better ? whos stronger ?
who laughs, the last laugh??
who laughs??? WHO LAUGHS.
our future’s bleak
but understood
but sometimes
happiness happens
a perpetual hope
soothing the soul
and providing a goal
cuz sometimes…
happiness happens
