Humidity is sweating me

waiting for sound to bless me

unless It's feeling testy

Its officers will soon arrest me

…forget putting your hands to the sky

salvation is found in sound

see I bow

rally round the sound throne

drone

slave

pawn, spawn, medium

yes, to rest on all of this is my wish,

my mission to serve sound pounds down

the message stabs and sucks as it's sending

it plucks nerve endings

brain signals wiggle

and the presence becomes visual

haunting individuals out of habitually

residual sound pigments are non-fictional

figments that foolish fake friends of sound spew forth should be rejected

or at least disrespected

to all those affected, here's a new perspective



CHORUS1

I dub thee unworthy

And further more dirty

For toying with powers

That you do not possess…



Patience is lost

the cost: I must regain the crown

as long as this body is mine

you will infect it

forever a slave to my soul's idol

an instrument in your hands

your gift's the key to my survival.



CHORUS2

But I will wait

for you to sweep away the silence

I belong to you

see me seal me up with yourself

I wish to be the thief who steals your power

and projects it

rejected if I fumble its essence I'm blessed with only depression

look upon me now

feel the need I have

for you to dub me

Sound Soldier



When in control

I feel your shadow

Below it hovers low

It bellows lightly

to please it is lovely

and I feel your release

relieved I breath in peace

and treat you with sweet belief

care and caution

as a thief I have stolen Sound's power

and projected it

rejected if I fumble it's essence

I learn the lessons of failing a generous presence

so now a guest of repression

I must prove my worth again

there is strength in sorrow

but will you be there tomorrow?

to matter in this world I must be allowed to borrow

Please Sound God

make me an angel



CHORUS1(alt)

Do you dub me unworthy

And further more dirty

For toying with powers

That I do not possess?



CHORUS2

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
