about

This is my take on Third Cat's entry from Round 2, Some Truths. I went in knowing only that I wanted to add a silly robot voice to echo the second line. The rest came to me as I worked. On the one hand, I felt more melancholy and changed the chord structure to match. On the other hand, I must still be feeling something for the Sega Genesis from last week, so there are FM synths and a cheesier drum machine than usual. I've changed the lyrics in places where they did not fit my arrangement or were hard to spit out. I like the sentiment better when everyone is facing some hard truths together.

lyrics

Limping through our lives
Robotic words of love
Fire lit 'til the moon dies
But it still floats above

Single dose of hope
Neurotic blast of fear
Brain fog leaks in our eyes
And the secret's not so clear

Finding out some truths are too much to agree to

Signals in between
Chaotic bursts of noise
That's how we treat our lives
Like a child treats their toys

Finding out some truths are too much to agree to

We all are finding out some truths are too much to agree to
We all are finding out some truths are too much to agree to
We all are finding out some truths are too much to agree to
