Chest beater
By drmindflip on April 13, 2014 10:30 pm
Hi everyone! The most brief of messages this week - I have half of the Dr. Mindflip band waiting in the living room to do an impromptu rehearsal for an even more impromptu gig that might be happening on Tuesday! It's getting real...
A special word of thanks to all of you for your encouragement with my new EP - I left a very modest but sincere thank you in the liner notes of the booklet, and it really has been an amazing experience being part of this community. Roll on the summer beats!
This track is back to rough-and-ready sound, as I don't have a good mic this week, but I will revisit it later - hope you enjoy it!
Chest beater:
Is this a mating display that's gone and lost its way?
Your little pantomime has wasted quite enough of my time
You know that needlessly striving, weakness-denying,
Steady degradation is worse
So don't you worry about the living and dying
Puking and crying
Just leave it to the experts
Walking on the wind
Your words ain't coming in loud and clear
Cos you're talking nonsense
Truth it bends in a torus when the cracks appear
I don't care about your imagined conquests
Supposed banging-prowess
Your fickle outlook
How many merry go round routes you took
And while the eagles are flying
You're ego-supplying
Shovelling your crumbling self-worth
Your grasp upon the monomyth's tenuous
Obscene, disingenuous
Your true emancipation will hurt
Walking on the wind
Your words ain't coming in loud and clear
Cos you're talking nonsense
What makes you think that I want to hear your bullshit?
Cos you're a chest beater
You're a born leader
You're a dispute feeder
An affection needer
Let all the rest peter away their time
Neither standing here nor there
While I hide my despair beneath choreographed airs and graces
And Instagram faces
I'm bouncing off walls
Making you feel small and peaceful by comparison
It's embarrassing that this well-worn and jaded show
Is all I know
Thanks for listening! Have a free album (or two) and find me on Facebook
