about

An autobiographical, philosophical, and experimental pop song about life and the human condition.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Some say the big bang started it all
Some say a mysterious white old man
Sitting on a cotton candy cloud ball
Created everything under his divine plan
Made us in his own image, molded us like dolls
and orchestrated the great fall
Omniscient, call him by his name, beg and he’ll listen
Adam, Eve, a talking serpent, Apple in the Garden of Eden
Benevolent but queer love’s abhorrent?
Unrequited love means eternal damnation?
Omnipresent but seems non-existent?
Emperor’s new clothes, masters of self-deception
Omnipotent, but devil’s an undefeatable opponent?
Tithes for china wines, Pedophilic pope revelations
A father, a brother, a ghost,
Indifferent, impotent, (or) fictional!
A belief lacking logical reasoning
A circus show lacking preordained meaning

VERSE 2
1997, Earth sandwiched between hell and heaven
I’ve been incarcerated, serving a life sentence for my sin
The prison warden played midwife and brought me in
Decked up in this yellow jumpsuit called skin
Immured in this blue-domed cell with no exit
Vision blurred as tears suffused my eyes
The world was and still is deaf to my cries
My fellow inmates’ were on cloud nine
Admiring me like an iron watch as I glowed and shined
Starry-eyed, I didn’t know what destiny had in store for my life
Is this place a cacotopia, a utopia, a paradise?
They tossed me on the conveyor belt of life
Signed the papers and waved goodbye
That’s how it started and now

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Everyday is the same
I’m drowning in the rain
I just can’t stop this pain
This is the human life

[Chorus]
Lather, Rinse, Repeat
Round and round and round

VERSE 3
Bed beetle with buzzing steel wires
Life’s moving like a downward spiral
Blinding kaleidoscopes of colorful strobing lights
Jarring cacophonies of deafening loud noises

Thin rattan poles, Red devil dose
Empty pockets, Shredded papers,
chastisements, resentments,
Loud piercing screams, Daymares, and nightdreams
White pillow soaking with tears, All I hear are Sniggers and jeers
Jealousy brewing inside, I’m Battered, bruised, nearing suicide
Soma pills prescribed, Sleep is my reprieve
, Plastic smile parades. All good schools, all good charades
White Sheets lacerated in red, I’m about to detonate

Verdant green wildflowers, blossoming in the glasshouse
Budding blue wallflower, Imprisoned in my own bell jar
Writhing, withering, wilting
Inextinguishable anguish; searing pain
Serotonin deficiency in my brain
Misty eyes and fogged enclosures
Distorted visions and warped images
“Just pray, just pray, it’ll be okay.”
He will lift you out of the miry clay
He will watch like a sadist as you drown deeper; that’s part of the foreplay

[Pre-Chorus 2]
[Chorus 2]

VERSE 4
In the blink of an eye, years have flown by
Falling into the abyss of adult life
Losing my sanity, my virginity
There isn't a catcher in the rye
There isn’t a savior in the sky
There are
Raccoon mascara tears in my eyes,
Crocodile tears in your eyes
Black dog barks and hyenas’ laughter
A Werewolf behind a safety glass enclosure
Rat racer to white-collar
9 to 5 times 5 to stay alive
To exterminate and cannibalize
Dark labyrinths with a golden cheese slice
Running a rat wheel without purpose in life
Following that distant lime-green light
An underdog in this stupid game of life
Chasing its tail to its demise

VERSE 5
Maybe the reality is illusory
Like a Butterfly lost in a reverie
An Organic matter decaying
Lost soul in the dark limbo
Light at the end of the tunnel
Opening of another vagina
A serpent devouring its tail
The sun that rises without fail
(Rain drop that ripples in a pond)
Like Sunshine, rainfall
Winter-Spring summer fall
Earth’s rotation, Earth’s revolution
A cycle within another cycle
Looping Infinitely endlessly

[Pre-Chorus 3]
[Chorus 3]
