Suicide Demo for Kara Walker Lyrics
I put the lyrics to this one up recently. Obviously not perfect and need some adjustments. Mostly taken from the lyrics to this song posted on the Destroyer Wiki with some changes to represent what I hear as the lyrics.
Anyways, the song... I cherish each and every Bejar album, but this might be the finest song he's ever put to record. A-ma-zing. Those little traces of melancholy in the horn arrangements, the futility in the lyrics. If feeling suicidal had a sonic representation, this would be it.
Great writeup, and thank you for the lyrics.

This is my favorite track off of the new record.

the intro is the absolutely ravishing. my mind wanders to a better place...
First ? = Mushhead genius passes for love these days
The second one is correct. Taken from the linear notes.
Changed the lyrics to what is in the liner notes of the album. So, this one should be done.
holy fuck
holy fuck is correct.
Interview on the origins of the song. Obviously don't read it if you've got your own ideas and want to keep them.
"All of America loves to lights his pipes... All of America live to light his pipe at night..."
talking about toking?
"All that slender-wristed white translucent business Passes for love, these days... Mushhead genius Passes for love, these days..."
I think this stanza/verse is an allusion to oral sex
"Mushhead genius" could be referring to "Superhead" Corrinne Stephens who was in the news a few years ago for exchanging sex in the hiphop community for money and notoriety.
Complete nonsense
You mean, abstract. There is syntax, so there is tons of content in there, not just tone. Is there an overall content, and not just content in individual lines and small collections of lines? Yes. Is it too obscure for me to talk about? Absolutely. Is this bad? No. Could this sort of thing be bad? Yes. Am I sure that this isn't one of the bad versions? Pretty damn sure.
