about

The lyrics are very loosely inspired by several of Federico Garcia Lorca's poems. I never released this song because the lyrics were too surrealistically personal and felt too private to put out into the world. But three years later, here it is...

lyrics

You stood in the shadow
Of a giant horse
Boundedby the contrast
Of the gradients
Your feet stayed within
The dark space it laid
From slow trot to full gallop
You kept perfect pace with the leg
You were born in the tiny entrails
Of a worm
Cradled in quiet Peace by the naive
Lining of a stomach
Planes sear across an Apple Sky

Waking up the children from their
Comas in the night
There is word of a miracle
It spreads just like a lie
Magic and hellfire

You imagined you were me
Far away from our old (?)
You watched yourself swallowed into
The mighty Fold
Oh, entangled in two
A slow and violent
The birds, me, you and the (?)
Of the MONOBLACK
Oh...

You were buried in the empty
Eyes of the birds
I dug you up and carried your sorrows
Off on my shoulder
The steadfast and quiet
Waves of eighteen years
Collided with the air
That had been
Ripened deep inside of your lungs
In the tiny moment
When our faces took a chance
Chasing curious impulses

Psych-rock sextet sometimes labeled a grungegaze "outfit?" making dream pop music for downtrodden scumbag droves sporting mothball, over-sized flannel & fashionably expressive shredded, sewer-stained, denim heirlooms called "My fucking jeans, you fascist!". We're admittedly naive to the grunge/90's alt rock revival subculture apparently all the rage suddenly...
