Syzygy (Instrumental)

Liner Notes

#electronic #psychedelic #synthpop #queer #odd_time_signature

This one is about the pitfalls of black and white thinking, and how limiting it is to the human experience. It feels comfortable and safe to latch onto these binaries in order to avoid the simple and unavoidable truth that nothing in this world is as simplistic as we would like it to be. There is more nuance in everything if you look closely and patiently enough.

At any rate, I had a lot of fun with this one. For some reason I just really like writing in 9/4 time signature. I'll be adding vocals and more soon!

Lyrics

One out of the three
Aligned with me
in syzygy
Aren't you happy?
Past, present and what
has yet to come
Earth, moon, and sun
Beautiful passing

You know your arrogant hope
has got a gun to your head
Don't be a victim
Let the bastards think they've won instead
The only tenable action
is to throw up your hands
Some holy trinity
Infinity, a line in the sand

Masculinity
Feminine sheen
Outside, between
Nobody knows me
No dichotomies
Everything
in syzygy
Tied like a bowstring

You know your ignorant hope
has got a gun to your head
Never a victim
Let the bastards think they've won instead
The only tenable action
is to throw up your hands
Some holy trinity
Infinitely entangled grains of sand

Another fish on the line
Another wrinkle in time
The hand you're dealt
is not the way that you're defined
Another box with a check
Another hand on your neck
All of this carnage
for a fraction of a speck
