I am a dead chameleon, building God’s pavilion. I go back to my room, even though it's my doom. I guess I don’t care either way. I've got a place, but not a home. Though they say, "you are not alone!" I’m stuck in this hell. It’s a plea for help, this song I’m writing for them now.
I thought I would know what I want to do when I left - when I finally got the freedom I wished for. But in the end, the fact that I was a slave hasn’t changed. I was a slave to you, now I’m a slave to them; I still haven’t let it go.
All the times I miss, and the handmade gifts, and the legacy I’ve built - it all comes crashing down. I’m tired of being sold, I won’t do as I’m told. Even without your control, it’s like you’re still around. Never going back. Fuck that, never anymore. Breaking down my guilt, writing down my will. And so my past wilts until it’s dead and gone.
So it's another day inside, casting my magic spell on life. I don't feel alive. I just wanna hide; hide from this newfound stage of mine. Because this world is beautiful. And all these people, they are too. But an idol is not what I wished to be. So I would rather give up my dream.
And I will slowly suspend my breathing till it stops, so that when my art is gone, I will be be too. There's no point in existing in a world without these songs. Because music is life, yes. Throw away your pride. I'll throw away this life.
All the times I miss, and the handmade gifts, and the legacy I’ve built - it all comes crashing down. I’m tired of being sold, I won’t do as I’m told. Even without your control, it’s like you’re still around. I am pressing delete, defeat my insecurities. Breaking down my guilt, writing down my will. And so my past wilts until it’s dead and gone.
Cyrilia. Who are you, a God? Cyrilia. Who? Are you a God?
Cyrilia. (Cyrilia, our God!) Who am I, a God? (Cyrilia, a God!) Cyrilia. (Cyrilia, oh, God!) Who? Am I a God? (Cyrilia, a God?)
“Frankly, pop
culture is a bit better at rocking people emotionally than the better chunk of the so-called fine arts.” - Kadono Kouhei, authour of ‘Boogiepop’
“...소위 팝컬쳐라 불리는 게 있다. 예술이라 하기엔 좀 그렇긴 한데 하여튼 사람의 마음을 뒤흔드는 점에 간해서는 어정쩡한 파인 아트보다 힘이 세기도 하는 놈이다.” - 카도노 코우헤이, '부기팝' 작가...more
Neil Cicierega is my biggest musical inspiration; his eccentric songwriting, amateur production, the whole 2000s geekrock aesthetic. Spirit Phone is his latest opus in a discography chock full of them JohnJRenns
Jeff Rosenstock has to be one of the most inspirational songwriters out there. every song he writes sound like the emotions are exploding out of the hooks. his musucal & lyrical prowess are like magic JohnJRenns
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
