Crawled out from beneath the rock
Crustacean rough and steely strong
A weathered eye with a ticking heart
I know where and why but not how long
Exposed against the night
Colors flip and reunite
Under the black light
Sucker punched the misery truck
Suis Generis. Random luck.
Trick the body but the mind won’t follow
The mission is mighty but the foundation is hollow
Revealed by the night
Switching the polarity of sight
Against the black light
I work far below the surface
Waiting for semaphore of light in the dark
And they play for me with synergy, lethargy, fantasies
Broken needles and dead batteries
Suspended by the night
It’s funny the things you see
When you flip on the black light
Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
