A social commentary on the state of "the scene", gate-keeping, shaming people for "selling out" and being mad I'm not famous when I have zero music out in the world and haven't educated myself on how to market myself successfully. "It's so unnecessary to introduce myself when I don't even know how to make a sound." Look ma! I make guitar go 00001000101010001!
lyrics
I’m crustaceous dragging my shell on the sea floor
You’re on a pedestal and no one even knows what for
I’m slowly crawling my way up to the top
But all this salty pressures gonna leave me here to rot
It’s so unnecessary to introduce myself
When I don’t even know how to make a sound
I don’t write the rules I break them
I don’t print the money I spend it (was misrecorded as “make it”)
I don’t steal your moves I learn them
When I feel unhappy I
Just fake it
I’ve developed a foolproof 5 year plan
If Inever eat or sleep or feel again
I stuck to out for a cool 13 days
And every other month I have a
Nervous breakdown (urgh)
(Breakdown)
I don’t write the rules I break them
I don’t print the money I spend it (was misrecorded as “make it”)
I don’t steal your moves I learn them
When I feel unhappy I
Just fake it
(New workout plan bridge)
2x
Thanks to DADISMAN’s 5 year plan
I don’t even know who I am
I’m dehydrated and gained weight
Still nobody knows my name
2x
Next year gonna be my year
Next year gonna be my year
Next year gonna be my year
Next year gonna be my year
2x
I don’t write the rules I break them
I don’t print the money I spend it (was misrecorded as “make it”)
I don’t steal your moves I learn them
When I feel unhappy I
Just fake it
Dallin and Kevin of Harrison Fjord opened my eyes to an entire world of music beyond what I grew up with, and their mix of tastes shines in this versatile psych pop record. DADISMAN
