lirik lagu deca – tuning
[verse 1]
tuned in, my goddess looked radiant as moon skin
praising what i plucked from the ocean like a bluefin
great lakes of saline solution
that form from her tears shed in this age of fear and confusion
her teeming with life, how to shepherd something new in
and salvage what we can from the wreckage and the ruins
the systems you believe in are the same institutions
that train goons with nightsticks to cave your roof in
moving on, crossing rubicon
lost in the details and minutia of the plot as we troop along
removing flies from my batsuit using tongs
scrutinizing every drop, trying not to lose my calm
[chorus]
where we headed next? is it safe yet?
bricks in the pyramid scheme, chasing a paycheck
what’s left after babylon’s model trainwrecks
and who’s eyeball is that at the top of the apex?
[verse 2]
there’s fingers pointing every which way
a wilderness of mirrors in a devil’s ribcage
you misbehavin’ kids better do as your told
listen to your uncle sam, skull putrid and old
the very same that threw frank olson through a window
they cope until (?) movements and uprooted their goals
and counted up the silver coins like judas of old
i wasn’t with the king of kings, i was superimposed
said it twice more, waiting for the rooster to crow
bowed my head in shame, felt like i was losing control
met some drifters on a journey, and some beautiful souls
and some mixtures of the two, that’s the rules of the road, so
[chorus]
where we headed next? is it safe yet?
bricks in a pyramid scheme, chasing a paycheck
what’s left after babylon’s model trainwrecks
and who’s eyeball is that at the top of the apex?
[breakdown / samples]
“let’s play something… really weird… and… wonderful”
“now, where did the story begin?”
[verse 3]
first came the birth pangs, followed by the myriad lifeforms the earth sustains
and the birds sang as clay made from the dirt and rain became a network of nerves and veins
they gained self~awareness and learned their names
and the beasts and fish, all was bliss, ’til we main~lined venom from the serpents’ fangs
and learned to throw rocks, and ball our fists
then the whole world calcified, taught how to pry metal from the mountainside
and forge weapons to defend falsehood with every ounce of pride, i walk city blocks watched by a thousand eyes
look at all the vampire bats, that jeer and laugh
perched high on the pyramid cap
they prayed on our fear in the year of the rat
and treated half~truth as empirical fact
i place no faith in this, or any system that grinds men’s bones into grist
in between the gears and cogs in the iron~clad jaws, where leviathans roam the abyss
any time the words fail, the music speaks
so you can let loose and move your feet
then the world a detour to see you could find
you don’t need the mediation of a judas preist
who’s in charge, the wings have detached from the fuselage
that “now” is a product of the tech goliaths and the war machine
but i can see another world through the bars
and the future’s ours
first came a flower that emerged and opened when the word was spoken
i climbed from a foxhole, hurt and broken, and i saw it transformed into pure devotion
