Thwarted And Hungry

from Five by Aubrey Van Gelded

/

about

If you don't know what this song is about, I'm not sure I want to explain.

Written via the cut-up technique.

lyrics

"She is exactly what this place wants her to be. In this way, she is free. "

Who shook you down
at the dadaist rally
sourly obstinate
eyes full of panic

you’re crawling backwards
perpetually backwards
everpresent pinpricks
the mantra you’re ignoring

watch the scene play out
watch the scene play out
watch the scene play out
watch the scene play out

maybe I hurried
it’s all so involuntary
they-state variety
with the small messy symbols

it’s all so idyllic
accessorized longings
curiously different
betrayed little changeling

watch the scene play out
watch the scene play out
watch the scene play out
watch the scene play out

Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.
Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.
Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.
Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.

princess attrition
it’s a lucid formality
such visibility
such a messy location

every command
is paralytic freedom
clutching dispassionately
with pinpoint precision

life is impermanent
but this is forever
we disobedient
thwarted and hungry

you know what happens
your shame and your struggle
the dark and her blinkered
thwarted and hungry

Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.
Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.
Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.
Obedience is black and white. You listen or you don't.

"our every move is the new tradition"
