One Cohesive Whole
04:33
|
|||
|
what we need now, what we need now is synthesis
something to make things pop you know? im into this
something to draw together disparate images
into one cohesive whole
one cohesive whole
so thanks to love for the idea, for synthesis i mean
always a new concept with bridges between
looking words up on the internet, theres another album i bet
so fire up the studio and get to work!
and when you add up all the words, you get a sordid tale
of how a man once spiked came to soften and feel all that softness entails
but for now lets focus on the matters at hand
we all form one cohesive whole in spirit soldier land
its like, parts that fit together well, thats cohesion
until you cant see the seams, beyond any reason
to think there were any to begin with, whoa
and we have become a monolith, yeah

First Impressions
04:08
|
|||
|
integrate, articulate
integrate, articulate
never forget your lessons
cast off the excess weight you've gathered over time
and you'll make good first impressions
why do i care so much, about first impressions
i suppose its a modest confession
but i can no longer entertain that act of suppression
engaging fully now in the act of self expression
forget first impressions, its the hardest lesson
forget it all, all the stuff that holds you back
become the person you want to be in the moment
piecing together all of these components yeah
its not as important as you make it seem
its simple to be the bridge between
when you take things as they come and go
dont you hear now what i mean?
integrate, articulate

hello you, and welcome to my techno space
or my poor attempt at expressing it
at least it ended up becoming another banger though
so rock to the rhythm of the beat
welcome now, to my techno space
my head space where we dance in and outside of the place
you know we dance on the inside while we are standing still
and we wont stop, no we aren't gonna stop, oh definitely not until someone makes us
someone makes us! someone makes us! so welcome to my techno space
what exactly is inside of my techno space?
you too can rock to the rhythm of the place
come on in, find out yourself
rock the pictures off the wall and the books all off the shelf
hello again, are you having a lovely time?
i know i am with your company
i know id rather rock to the beat as me
than try to become somebody, yeah

Clear Skies
04:11
|
|||
|
the skies are clear
and yes you know the skies are clear today
and yes you know i have enough good will to convey
as long as the weathers clear, we're good
ill go out and do the stuff im supposed to do and should
but you know it would be just so much easier
when the weathers hot, and the skies then clear forever
the skies are clear outside, if you want to go out there
the sun is shining, sun is shining always somewhere
clear the way, clear the way, for a beautiful day
so i can go outside to work on things, and work becomes play
chopping down and planting stuff and all sorts of activities
i hope somewhere in this you begin to understand me
woah now, take it slow though
you dont want to miss the show
when the sun stays awake later throughout the day
its a blessing, you know
the skies are clear

Me Again
04:00
|
|||
|
its me again, its me again
here we go again, here we go again
blast you with another banger again and again
say your prayers to your higher power, whatever thing you choose
hello god, its me, amen
i said hello, its me again
but these melodies convey the passion i wish to send
im not sure what to say here, what to say here
and the more i rock to the beat the more prayers i blend here
into a new way of doing things, a new means of prayer,
these songs to me are a conversation with god, laid bare
its so cheesy, i know it is
but i have no known other way of doing this
hello god, its me, its me
i dont know what else to say,
but thanks for the beat, the beat, the beat
and the rhythm too, and the tools with which to play
its me again, its me again
well its a higher power, im down with higher powers now

I Became a Prophet
04:21
|
|||
|
oh the reverofmai
it was many years ago, i became the reverofmai
i was a prophet you know i can already hear you asking how
i stared into the palm of my hand again and again
queer jesus is the name i was given by my friends
i became, i became the reverofmai, whoa
i became, i became what i felt like inside, whoa
i became forever for a little while, whoa
and nothing can take that away, oh no
im over it now i guess, if you couldnt tell
i was a major mess, i completely fell
apart for several years, for several years
oh the reverofmai

Synthesize
06:01
|
|||
|
oh, synthesize me, a way out of this place
use all the ingredients you can
help me find a way to save my grace and
help me become a better man
use your skills at chemistry
i dont care, use alchemy
help me find a meaning in these words
use your skills please,
help me sensibly
i want to find a meaning, something to keep a record
i just need a little push sometimes
its not much but the progress that ive made is mine
help synthesize me a way out of this
help find a solution to my idleness
help recover the things ive lost over the years
help me shed my discomfort and my fears
help me once again rock to the rhythm of this beat
help me synthesize a cure for all the sordid souls i meet

We Believe
04:20
|
|||
|
We believe, oh we believe in a great deal of silly things
we believe some bad ideas and we believe contradictions
i for one believe some things so utterly ridiculous
but they come from a place of innocent dissonance
its dissonant, ok? to believe some of this stuff
the stuff thats propaganda, lies and bluffs
i speak only for myself in this situation, situation
but the more beliefs i shed the more i seem to feel elation
elation at the speed with which i recover falculties
so lets dispense now with whats left of the formalities
and just say stop, stop believing so many things
stop believing i guess cuz thats where ignorance springs

A Meeting Or Two
04:31
|
|||
|
well its sunday, better hit that meeting
well its monday, better hit that meeting
its tuesday again, hitting that meeting
and again it becomes wednesday and im grooving for a meeting
hitting a meeting, hitting a meeting,
because i need to reboot some meaning
in my life yeah, another meeting,
and ill set things straight for sure this time
hitting a meeting, you find some meaning, hitting a meeting yeah
its just a place where you can get your fix
a place where disparate groups can mix
a place where we can synthesize a new perspective
so your ideas are no longer defective
so come around, just come around, and see for yourself
grab the big book off that dusty shelf
come and see the harmony the act of making meetings brings
enough to make me want to shout and sing!

This Is Not The End
04:47
|
|||
|
this is not the end, this is not the end
but its a blending of the things we do and the time we spend
its a rhythm, its a beat and its too much to comprehend
but just rock to it though and let that energy expend
its been a blast this time around
making gang vocals and synth pop sounds
but we're coming to a temporary close
to the future of the synthesizer, we are bound
bound to the synthesizer
inspiration like a geyser
im your sonic hypnotizer
music is the great equalizer
its not the end, this is not the end
its not the end, this is not the end
its not the end, this is not the end
this is only the beginning
