I'll try to make this perfectly clear
I'm so transparent I disapear
these words I lyrically defecate
upon songs I boldly claim to create
clint steps in to establish the beat
4/4 hip hop and you don't stop
this unique approach to start an EP
intended to shock, create a mystique
a cheap strategy, a marketing scheme
building awareness for the next LP
they've got a good fan base
they've got integrity
they've got a DC sound
Shudder to Think, Fugazi
and Chapel Hill Around The Early 90's
this is the latest from saddle creek
some melodies are like disease
they can inflame your misery
they will infect your memory
they haunt me
some melodies are like disease
they can inflame your misery
they will infect your memory
they haunt me
I write these words with my motherly intuition
I shape these sounds into harmonic aparitions
but I can see can see through these haunting things
my moldy dreams are debased by the same hands that shaped them
I'll try to make this perfectly clear
I'm so reflexive i am a mirror
these words I'm driving into the ground
the same words I scream out over the crowd
I'm just an airwave rolling around
I storm and crash without a sound
There's all these islands out at sea
I can't reach
I'm just an airplane diving down
I storm and crash without a sound
engines exploding silently out at sea
where waves caress unstable egos
where melody is completely swallowed
where songwriters chain their songs
to their ankles and
sink to the beat
'til it stops and
bursts under pressure
let it
burst and bloom
hit song
let it burst and bloom
I'm so transparent I disapear
these words I lyrically defecate
upon songs I boldly claim to create
clint steps in to establish the beat
4/4 hip hop and you don't stop
this unique approach to start an EP
intended to shock, create a mystique
a cheap strategy, a marketing scheme

its pretty much what people would think that they're doing with this song, but they're making a song like that, to make fun of it, its kinda confusing but it makes sense to me.
Also they mention to Fugazi and Shudder to Think, those are they're influences.
Its also about the radio and other bands, hit song, let it burst and bloom, if its a hit on the radio, it bursts and blooms into an entire franchise of music, but they need more hit songs, it keeps repeating.
Add it all up, its about music and themselves, and the connection. what they have to do with everything else, and where they fit into the whole thing, thats what i get out of it.
by the way, i saw them in cleveland, best show ever, it was the first time i heard this song, and i hearted it from then on.
A decent amount of recent songs from both artists have been on the topic...
some MELODIES are like disease
they can inflame your misery
they will infect your MEMORIES
they haunt me
some MEMORIES are like disease
they can inflame your misery
they will infect your MELODY
they haunt me
it's mocking itself
they're singing about promoting their own music
that's what music is ABOUT
especially now, when all this indie and underground music
seems to be getting so popular
and he's a lot like conor oberst
[whose last name i find to be a self-fulfilling prophecy]
when they feel gluttonous and bad
for being "successful"
and in that sense,
they take after kurt cobain,
even though i really didn't want to make that parallel.
[where songwriters chain their songs
to their ankles and
sink to the beat ]
they're saying their music is killing them,
and it is,
at least that's what they're conveying.
