Closer to U(topia)
03:23

Chasing my tail
Running around in squares
Utopia’s the goal
Though I suspect we won’t get there
But I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer to you
Come a little closer
And do the things we both want to
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that puts me off
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that makes me small
When I’m closer to you
When I’m closer to you
My eyes wandered away
But their feet are tired
The sky was colored as day
Though it’s only at night when I’m inspired
So I wanna get closer
I wanna get closer to you
Come a little closer
And do the things we both want to
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that puts me off
Cause I know I’m safe
From everything that makes me small
When I’m closer to you
When I’m closer to you
Do you feel this climate
It’s telling me you’re so far away
But I just keep on chasing
So that we can live another day
Do you feel this climate
It’s telling me you’re so far away
But I just keep on chasing
So that we can live another day
When I’m closer to you
When I’m closer to you

The Prisoner
02:53

It’s only time and space
That can keep us away
‘Cause we transcend the laws
We can walk through the bars
That keep us apart
The stars formed a single file
The bridge that pulls us together
Curved like your pretty smile
There will be no such thing as bad weather
I’m floating in space
There is nobody else
In my mind
We have time
They can’t trap my love in this jail cell
It’s a paper cage
So never let them win
Please never surrender
Hasta la victoria
It's only time and space that can keep us apart
Hasta la victoria
It's only time and space that can keep us apart
Hasta la victoria
It's only time and space that can keep us apart
Hasta la victoria
It's only time and space that can keep us apart
It’s only time and space
That can keep us away
‘Cause we transcend the laws
We can walk through the bars
That keep us apart

Today
04:16
|

Tripping over guilt that shouldn’t exist
Did I do something wrong, was there something I missed
Cause there were all those things I had thought you had promised
But all of a sudden you decided to quit
My hopes were up
But my guard was down
I didn’t know that treating me this way was allowed
Tell me what you want today
I’m sure it won’t be the same
As what you told me yesterday
When you wanted me to stay
Tell me what you want today
I’m sure it won’t be the same
As what you told me yesterday
Tell me what you want today
A power imbalance
I’m cursed by your charm
Which is why I still forgive
All the harm
You’ve done to me
My hopes were up
But my guard was down
I didn’t know that treating me this way was allowed
Tell me what you want today
I’m sure it won’t be the same
As what you told me yesterday
When you wanted me to stay
Tell me what you want today
I’m sure it won’t be the same
As what you told me yesterday
Tell me what you want today
Tell me what you want today
I’m sure it won’t be the same
As what you told me yesterday
When you wanted me to stay
Tell me what you want today
I’m sure it won’t be the same
As what you told me yesterday
Tell me what you want today

Paste me up
04:42
|

Paste me up against the wall
Spray me through your stencils
Write my name all over
Maybe the price of this gentrifying town will go down
I inhaled your art when it took my breath
The spirit of revolution is now in my lungs
Jumped off the train, you broke your legs
They were chasin after you
So you did what you had to
Spilling colors out your bag
Don’t let your mother find out
That you
Paste me up against the wall
Spray me through your stencils
Write my name all over
Maybe the price of this gentrifying town will go down
I inhaled your art when it took my breath
The spirit of revolution is now in my lungs
Snuck your way out to meet me
In the middle of the night
Walking through concrete
Holding cans filled with light
Spilling colours out your bag
Don’t let your mother find out
That you
Paste me up against the wall
Spray me through your stencils
Write my name all over
Maybe the price of this gentrifying town will go down
I inhaled your art when it took my breath
The spirit of revolution is now in my lungs
Paste me up against the wall
Spray me through your stencils
Write my name all over
Maybe the price of this gentrifying town will go down
I inhaled your art when it took my breath
The spirit of revolution is now in my lungs

Je le sens venir. Mon jour. Je sens sa présence comme une proie- j’attends. Lundi, mardi, dimanche, peu importe. Tu n’as jamais aimée les jours de la semaine. Tu me disait toujours que le temps n’est pas divisé en sept, ou en vingt-quatre, ou en douze. Le temps est une surface, comme tu disais, comme les autres, jamais séparé de l’espace, jamais aussi docile que l’on aimerait. Un jour, tu as vu notre place dans le monde comme si toi, tu t’en étais séparée. Ce n’était pas une vision, car nos cinq sens sont trop primitifs pour te comprendre, je pense, mais d’un coup tu savais- et tu ne devais pas me le dire, non plus, je l’ai vu dans tes yeux. Le temps. Tu m’as dit que tu t'étais sentie petite, comme un enfant qui essaie de voir au dessus de l’armoire, une telle lassitude que tu voulais en mourir, mais que tu étais dépourvue de sentiments depuis. Je ne comprenais pas pourquoi tu ne m’aimais plus, mais tu m’avais expliqué que, quand dix hommes se tiennent debout, l’un d’entre eux est toujours coupable de son crime, et que tu ne te lèverais pas.
J’ai pris du temps à comprendre de quel crime tu parlais. Serait-il simplement de m’aimer, de te laisser emportée par une douceur trop humaine à ton goût? Je me le demandais, en te voyant glisser entre les écrans de ma vision. J’avais pensée que, face au vide, tu t’étais perdue, tu avais laissée la partie de toi qui me connaissait dans le coin d’une lacune comme offrande. Mais… tu n’as connue aucune abîme, car l’espace, le temps et leurs compagnons sont bien le contraire- tu as rencontré le tout, le congestionnement de l’univers que nous, les autres, n’avons jamais entériné. Toi, tu l’as consacré. Tu avais compris que tu avais rencontré l’infini, et qu’il t’a montré tout ce qu’il te manquait avant de te l’arracher. Le baiser entre le gouffre et le tout est bien mieux que les nôtres, et quand la septième dimension te caresse la nuque, un contact humain n’est que l’agent pathogène qui te retiens.
C’est pour cela que je n’ai pas pleurée après que tu partes. Ils t’ont choisis, ils t’ont montrée que tu n’est qu’un cafard qui invente la roue et le vaccin dans un univers ou deux qui cherche beaucoup plus loin que le prix nobel. Aurais-tu été plus heureuse si tu serait morte dans un lit confortable d’ignorance et de prétention d’une banalité répugnante, comme nous? J’en ai aucune idée. Tu n’as pas eue cette chance, ce don de l’ignorance. Depuis toujours tu as sentie son appel, et tu l’as suivi jusqu’au jour où tu as sû.
Je l’entends aussi. La cacophonie des étoiles me chuchote dans l’oreille gauche et m’offre de doux baisers sur une peau trop humaine, trop jeune pour le mériter. Ici, dans la petite bulle qu’on connaît, où les disputes de cafards dans une tour d’ivoire nous occupe, où on est assez petits pour penser que tout en dehors de nous est le vide, et nous, nous sommes le tout, j’attends. La caresse de l’univers sur mes lèvres me promet que je suis guettée, que tu me vois toujours. Si mes années de piété ignorante ne te repoussent pas, j’espère que tu seras là, que tu m’attendras de l’autre côté de l’infini.

Talisman
02:59
|

The spirit and the four elements are on your side
A talisman resting on your chest is where it will hide
Your preceding ones were labeled heretics, a threat to primitive accumulation
They were pressured to be baby makers, produce the workers for the nation
But you don’t owe anything to those pricks
We’ll fly away on our broom sticks
It’s a feeling, it’s a feeling I can’t explain
We are healing, we are healing from the pain
It’s a feeling, it’s a feeling I can’t explain
We are healing, we are healing from the pain
It’s a feeling, it’s a feeling I can’t explain
We are healing, we are healing from the pain
The spirit and the four elements are on your side
A talisman resting on your chest is where it will hide

Papers and Borders
03:51

Did I say all that I wanted to say
I just remember looking the other way
I was socialised to pick my fights
But it’s hard to keep calm when you know what’s right
If I name drop and call you out
Will you ban me from crossing your borders
The ones that you violently enforce
Who is Visa, I’ve never heard of her before
These embassies have no idea who I am
I won’t even sound good on paper to them
You spent hours searching for my bar code
But I’m not a commodity, don’t you know?
I guess I look different in your eyes
But do you see any lines in the sky?
If I name drop and call you out
Will you ban me from crossing your borders
The ones that you violently enforce
Who is Visa, I’ve never heard of her before
These embassies have no idea who I am
I won’t even sound good on paper to them
Ahhh
Ahhh
If I name drop and call you out
Will you ban me from crossing your borders
The ones that you violently enforce
Who is Visa, I’ve never heard of her before
These embassies have no idea who I am
I won’t even sound good on paper to them
I won’t even sound good on paper to them

Commodified Uprising
03:10

How do you rebel when they can commodify your uprising
If punk is just another CD how do you find it’s meaning
No escape
They’ll fly away to outer space
While you’re stuck in the ruins
Should I make it pretty
Vacant
Should I strip
It of its meaning
Words words words
Should I push off the weight
Should I package it in plastic
Is it the only way
Is it perverse
For me to gain from the pain
This is just a distraction
I’m here to sedate you
Seduce you
Help you forget about the fire
We’re all so tired
I’m just the relief
Should I make it pretty
Vacant
Should I strip
It of its meaning
Words words words
Should I push off the weight
Should I package it in plastic
Is it the only way
Is it perverse
For me to gain from the pain
Should I make it pretty
Vacant
Should I strip
It of its meaning
Words words words
Should I push off the weight
Should I package it in plastic
Is it the only way
Is it perverse
For me to gain from the pain
