This is a track I wrote together with Luke Harney aka Typesun some time ago. Now it’s resurfacing in the advent of the British election in a new acoustic version, performed by Typesun and Romaine Smith on goosebump inducing vocals! Check it out, and see follow the lyrics below if you want. (No interpretation offered this time, except the message that Luke wants Brits to ponder: Turn up.)
Warped sensations of luck
a system without the blessing of
the gravitation of love
Only stars up above
Taught our values’ not much
just diamonds in the rough
plastic faces convert
how we think about us
Eden’s far out of touch
so we’re all saving up
for inner peace through more stuff
and getting enough
Deals and damages done
a mirage thrown for the thirsty ones
Seems like we’re giving up
how we think about us
Hidden ties / it’s out there quite visible
human lives / just part of the strategy
tow the line / reproduce and consume excessively
doesn’t seem a healthy philosophy
signed up but we didn’t all agree
who are you to define humanity
when I know that we could be truly free
Taught our values’ not much
just diamonds in the rough
plastic faces convert
how we think about us
I’d be lost for your touch
but transform into what?
No thanks, it’s quite enough
How we think about us
