One Manometer Away From Mutually Assured Relocation Lyrics

Feel, free, fornicate.
It's not Earth's first contra coup,
Or first astral projection experience with mesomorphs.

One can't resist these surges.
One can't resists these carbon copy species, like us.

Power failure pandemonium
Proudly perverts plutonium.
And whoever handles these loose electrons
Could you please modify your geiger counters
To reveal planets morphing.
Blanket retribution completely blocked out by a
Nimbus indicates it's time to stray from the nucleus

"There is just something about cloud-cuckoo land"
Minimaly conscious, hairy quadrupled.

Scientists, save us.
Scientists, SOS.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

sounds like either the earth is fucked and we need to find a new place or how we look to technology and science religiously to save us

MAYBE...its about how science is trying to obliterate spiritual perspective? Maybe its about how scientific understanding can enrich our spiritual side? Maybe its about evolution, and that its time for us as a race to develop our conscious beyond that of our current scientific understanding? Maybe its about how science has tried to explain spiritual things from a logical viewpoint and is masking the true meaning? I definately think its about the science vs spirituality conflict. And i definately know it my fave Locust song and these musicians are truely exeptional.

Oh man, the "power failure pandemonium" part (and on) is fucking amazing. The lyrics, the rhythm, the synth. Agh.
