I’ve been watching you
For sometime now
And I’ve come to understand
This way you move about

As soon as I can chain this burning heart
It will be just like we have arrived
We have become
As soon as I can fill this empty plate
We can live in peace together

I’ve been listening in
To the silent waves
They move through all of you
And carry on without a sound

As soon I can chain this burning heart
It will be just like we have arrived
We have become
As soon as I can fill this empty plate
We can live in peace together

As I can I can chain this burning heart
It will be just like we have arrived
We have become

    I’ve been watching you For sometime now And I’ve come to understand This way you move about As soon as I can shake this burden off It will be just like we have arrived We have become As soon as I can fill this empty plate We can live in peace together I’ve been listening in To the silent ways They move through all of you And carry on without a sound As soon I can shake this burden off It will be just like we have arrived We have become As soon as I can fill this empty plate We can live in peace together As I can I can shake this burden off It will be just like we have arrived We have become

    My favourite Kunek song! Theres something about it i can't put my finger on. The way the guitar follows the voice in the verse, and the rhythm of the voice is so strange but enchanting. I love the lyrics to! 'I've been watching you, for sometime'. Theres also enjambment used which i love. More people need to have a listen to this stuff! Its gold.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
