volume speaks titles


i really don't understand anything

noise everywhere

event horizon
it's as if a spell was carved into my bones
getting to know it doesn't seem to help
everything is lost on me
helpless little creature
beyond the badlands
shy away from the sun
wasted, hollow
nothing new to swallow
a half-wit in the pine-trees
and a lesson that's too hard to learn
pointing out the point of no return
sacred envelope
scared cutthroat
it won't melt
refuse to fuse
claws to pick your teeth clean
a dragon
with hummingbird wings

in another dimension
people ask you what kind of shit you'd prefer tomorrow,
instead of "what would you like for dinner tonight"

coming home soon
leave the beans on
coming home soon
please do the dishes for me
please do the housework
please leave no remains
of whatever impulse you had
please, squeaky clean, please
because what i need is more accepted and therefore more important
any sudden guest must not see the reality of me and us
our lives is a lie
but white is a nice touch
so we painted it all over our walls, thoughts and actions
come in come in
batter for battering
raisins for creativity
nutmeg as a secret
chopping skills
right temperature, right phrases uttered
look at our new curtains, look at our new rug
impressively platonic and idiomatic

needs, deeds and perfection
no flies
no germs
no life
nothing is nothing
nothing doesn't exist anymore
but we still feel the urge to escape it
nothingness

life is just an endless cycle of needs to satisfy


since it's always so little about what you say, but rather about how you say it, do the same means apply to music? is music how you say things? i for one hate to take music literally. i prefer to listen to how it changes me. what it awakes within. so, music, is it just a body language we respond to?
seems like a fair claim, after all. when we speak with someone on the phone, we're unable to see the persons body language, but a lot of it also comes from the voice. the tones of it. you can easily hear what state a person is in.
music is communication. music is how you say things. because it's easy to tell lies if the receiver only care about the words used. yet, they're very easily deducted if you pay attention to the body language.

oh well. as always,
i'm probably wrong.
