Sink to the Beat Lyrics
I'll try to make this perfectly clear
I'm so transparent I disappear
These words I lyrically defecate
Upon songs I boldly claim to create
Clint steps in to establish the beat
4/4, hip hop and you don't stop
This unique approach to start an EP
Intended to shock, create a mystique
A cheap strategy, a marketing scheme
Building awareness for the next LP
They've got a good fan base
They've got integrity
They've got a DC sound
Shudder To Think, Fugazi
And Chapel Hill around the early 90's
This is the latest from Saddle Creek
Some melodies are like disease
They can inflame your misery
They will infect your memories
They haunt me
Some memories are like disease
They can inflame your misery
They will infect your melody
They haunt me
I write these words with my motherly intuition
I shape these sounds into harmonic apparitions
But I can see through these haunting things
My moldy dreams are debased
By the same hands that shaped them
I'll try to make this perfectly clear
I'm so reflexive I am a mirror
These words I'm driving into the ground
The same words I scream out over the crowd
I'm just an airwave rolling around
I storm and crash without a sound
There's all these islands out at sea
I can't reach
I'm just an airplane diving down
I storm and crash without a sound
Engines exploding silently out at sea
Where waves caress unstable egos
Where melody is completely swallowed
Where songwriters chain their songs to their ankles
And sink to the beat
Until it stops and bursts under pressure
Let it burst and bloom
Hit song
Let it burst and bloom
Hit song
Let it burst and bloom
Hit song
Let it burst and bloom
Hit song
Let it burst and bloom
Sink to the beat
Sink to the beat
Sink to the beat
I'm so transparent I disappear
These words I lyrically defecate
Upon songs I boldly claim to create
4/4, hip hop and you don't stop
This unique approach to start an EP
Intended to shock, create a mystique
A cheap strategy, a marketing scheme
Building awareness for the next LP
They've got a good fan base
They've got integrity
They've got a DC sound

They will infect your memories

Some memories are like disease

Hit song
Let it burst and bloom
Hit song
Let it burst and bloom
Hit song
Let it burst and bloom
Sink to the beat

this is one of their most awesome songs...it means a lot to me, just like Lamnet of Pretty Baby. The lines:"Some melodies are like disease...." that makes so much sense if you have ever been inspired to write by a song that evoked strong past feelings. So basically, the song makes you think, you think so much about whatever is causeing you to search for an insperation that you write that, then that pain is forever remebered in your song or whatever you write...you get chillins??? Right on.

the lyrics arent exactly right, i might submit a thingy later, but i just submitted the rest of burst and blooms songs, and my eyes/fingers are tired
i submitted a correction and it should be taken care of. i copied it exactly from the booklet. and a damn good song while i'm at it. gotta love the indie-rock rap songs.
its still wrong
"Some melodies are like a disease..." BEST LINE EVER!
does anyone else have a feeling that this song is about the music industry, and the "indie scene?" they make direct reference to DC, and Fugazai... shrug
its totally about that!!! about song writers and such. you are right.
the reference to DC is washington D.C " around the early 90s." washington is where the whole scene started in the 80's and early 90s. i think it is cool how they promote thier lable in the song, with the whole saddle creek thing. and i also love the comentary that shinjiikari pointed out.
i like the drum beat in this song
