Combustion Comedy

Story Behind The Song

The lyrics are about a time in my life when I realized that the people I surround myself with are not of a positive nature anymore. Everyone else was changing and I wasn?t. I tried to put up with it for a while but eventually I learned that I had to disconnect myself, which left me with no one.

Song Description

This song combines indie rock guitar and bass work with dance rhythms to produce a truly unique sound. The two simultaneous competing vocal melodies emphasize the sense of urgency and frustration in the subject matter. Overall, the song is fairly calm, but it does increase in intensity over time. Everything drops off at the end and fades out, leaving things unresolved, just as the lyrics describe.

Lyrics

If I was only filled with curcuits I wouldn't feel a damn thing/The oldest trick in the book is the one I keep playing on myself. I can't believe I've been inspected and I've passed inspection, I feel that there's been some kind of misdirection. Thank you, thanks everyone, for proving me so right. Really, it gets tiring being so right all the time. And if you pull the floor out fast enough I won't move. If you close the door I can't loose much more than this. I'm tired of this. The ropes around my wrists can't get much tighter. Oh, I've been wanting out for a while now. Yeah I find it kind of hard to believe looking back. I'm so full of questions and I don't know where the answer's at. It's probably a good thing I don't know which way is up. It was all so detrimental.
