lyrics

Silk (Can A Self Overwhelm?)

Can a self overwhelm?
Could you spare some regard to angry sea or fleur du mal?
‘Tween there ideas started by hand or by searching,
juggling fire in the algae
that I can’t quite look at.

Can a self overwhelm?
Commas are useless tools
you must realize can't end with an end
or an egg or a statue or an ego to lie to,
can’t end with an end.

“Can a self pass and come away?
Now feed yourself into my soultruck.”
So she touches signs.
She vessels the foetus
just as those creators’ cantatas say “Never forget us,”
and cheetahs know scent through the arm of the seer.

Can a self overwhelm?
Could your path show a moon
or your mom or an egg?
Qualified due to pain to abridge river-time,
every pharaoh fell into his post to assume you’re into kiss opera.
Do you know it is clear?
Your bag of forget I can’t see.

This is a most exciting surprise bag of unusual songs, each of them thoroughly different from the other ones. But they have one thing in common: They are ingenious. It's not easy to find a drawer where to put this music in. I'm reluctant to use the term "experimental", because this can mean anything, and nothing as well. Out of the established genres, "alternative rock" probably fits best, but this music is so alternative that it blows up the confines of the genre. In my collection, I'm tagging music like this as "avantgarde", to express that it's somehow ahead of the usual listening experiences. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
