| Daft Punk – Fragments of Time (feat. Todd Edwards) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is sort-of "meta" in that it's about the three weeks Todd has spent in California, where some of RAM's recording sessions took place. "Driving this road down to paradise / Letting the sunlight into my eyes" - the road from Thomas' house, as described in the Collaborations video. "Our only plan is to improvise" - Daft Punk let Todd mess around with live-recorded samples. They didn't know what he'll make and he didn't know what the'll do with his work. Todd's work appears in the chorus, BTW. "Keep building these random memories" - partial title drop which also serves as a pun on constructing the album. "Turning our days into melodies" - yep. "I’ll just keep playing back / These fragments of time" - the use of recorded media as a metaphor for memories fits the theme of blurring the boundary between human and digital, just like the album title. "Familiar faces I've never seen / Living the gold and the silver dream" - he's an old friend of Daft Punk and they're known to always wear masks in public. This generation's masks are gold and silver-colored. However, despite what the song says, Edwards did stay. He has permanently moved from his native New Jersey to California. |

That's what happens when you watch too much news. Today it's even worse because we have the internet. It has negative effects but it's something we have to adapt to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_overload |

| This is a continuation of "Should have taken acid with you". This guy tries to impress the girl with his psychedelic graffiti art. He uses drugs to inspire him through the mission but they drive him into a psychosis. | |
