THE WHEEL
I woke up with the sun, bright light through the curtains of my house
Ready to face another day of mass consumption
I take my car for a ride making sure that my outfit is looking fine
Because I care who’s out there willing to judge me
Burning money for fun, I don’t mind if it ends up in the trash
Struggling in vain to contain my own corruption
It was never like this, nevermind, it’s the time that we live in
Fooled again, but it’s ok as long as you keep buying shit
But I don’t want it and I don’t need it, media lives inside my mind and I do permit it
things you say you need for you, did you have the right to choose?
I really have no clue, can someone help me to? sure but for a fair price
the wheel keeps spinning round
I’ve spotted a new ad, it is perfect for me so I think I’ll buy
Fooled again! a snitch was there giving instructions
I go to bed late at night, it’s been a long day of wasting money and time
I feel great but in the end it’s my assumption
Manipulation is out there, we have the option to choose
But turning off your device means that you won’t be cool
Because we’re stuck in here hanging from our purse
But I don’t want it and I don’t need it, media lives inside my mind and I do permit it
Things you say you need for you, did you have the right to choose?
I really have no clue, can someone help me to? sure for a fair price
(buy together a new TV, stay forever in insanity)
the wheel keeps spinning round
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
Pitch-perfect math rock from Kaneohe, Hawaii charges forward on raw, ragged emotion. A treat for fans of Polvo and Pardoner. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2018
