Liner Notes

#demo #indiepop #piano

At long last, I finally get to put a produced demo on FAWM! This is a collab with my friend Echo Wildemoon, who isn't on FAWM but is a brilliant musician and songwriter. We had so much fun with the many, many key changes and funky 7 chords and that delicious Ebm in the bridge.

As demos go, it's pretty barebones. I haven't done any automation on it and overall it's a rough sketch, but I'm so happy with it and I feel like it gets the idea fully across. Please enjoy!

Lyrics

You’ve got the colors in HD
What colors are left to see
The sky’s a sickly green
To your left, the acid black sea

It’s too crisp for CG
Skulls crunching under feet
It’s quiet but your blood is rushing
Pulsing Heat

I tried to size it up with the shape of my thumbprint, Oh
Ashes raining down
Too late to go back now
Was I driving blind
Drowning in my personal reality
Here in the fallout

It seemed innocent to me
Just characters on a screen
Till the parachute failed
And the rug pulled out from under me

No controller in hand
Now I don’t know what is real
The mortality, bodies piling,
What should I feel

I tried to size it up with the shape of my thumbprint, Oh
Ashes raining down
Too late to go back now
Was I driving blind
Drowning in my personal reality
Here in the aftermath of

Nuclear mistakes I made
Coming back like acid rain
Eating through my armor to my skin, so soft and unprepared for

Choking smoke and failing brain
Freezing blood still in my veins
I can’t help but lay the blame on me

I tried to size it up with the shape of my thumbprint, Oh
Ashes raining down
Too late to go back now
Was I driving blind
Drowning in my personal reality
Here in the fallout
