i staden växer inga blommor

And from the flowing fountain, drinking
Such a sad one I’ve become

Get up, it’s time to go
What once was can’t be no more

When alone I find, that it’s hard
I just sit around and I stare
Then it wanders

When alone I feel, it’s so hard
I just sit around, and stare
This damn mind wanders
Such a…

such a sad one I’ve become

Get up, it’s time to go
What once was, can’t be no more

Such a sad one I’ve become
Such a sad one I’ve become

SINE TWIST - CLUELESS

I was having fun at the waterslide when suddenly I noticed a big shadow covering the entire pool I looked up and there I saw him, Arms. He was coming straight for me, he jumped into the pool and the velocity of the wave that followed knocked me unconcious.

When I woke up I was chained in a cold and dirty room and there he was, making beats in ableton, somehow he managed to say the word "fire" 254 times in just 3 sentences how is that even possible?? I quickly realised that the chains were actually made of chocolate, confused (and mainly hungry) I started licking and sucking them as fast as I could and managed to crawl out of the room - that I presumed was probably his mothers basement - while remaining unseen.

I searched around the house for an exit and I quickly found the front door. Just as I was about to step out of the house, Arms put his enormous hand on my shoulder and whispered with a soft and melodic tone in my ear "You're not going anywhere pumpkin pie". He bought me back inside and made me make this remix...

You & Me (billbosh flip)

When I first wrote this song, I was living in my friend’s grandparents’ basement, and only owned what would fit in my car. I had no job, almost no money, and the only remaining possessions I really had were studio equipment. Nonetheless, I found time to record when nobody else was home, and kept producing and writing music whenever I could. 

Vertigo embodies the mentality I tried to maintain throughout that difficult period of my life. I had to buckle down and give everything I had. I got a job, started making money, and—with a ton of support from my friends—I managed to get out of the rut and stabilize myself enough to finish the record and start to really take care of myself. Now that FOOL // savior is about to release nearly 4 years after I wrote Vertigo, it feels more relevant than ever. No matter what life throws at me, I will not give up on what I believe in, and this album is the living testament to that fact. 

We're told a lot of things by society about how best to live our lives, and many of these messages are toxic or demeaning. Consumerism and corporate interests constantly put us down or try to manipulate us into believing certain things about ourselves, regardless of the harm or dishonesty of their claims. 

If one is going to truly be motivated, one has to really accept the existence of this harsh negative atmosphere, and learn to breathe in spite of the toxins. We can't persevere if we can't even acknowledge what we're fighting against. I wanted the lyrics to embody the spirit of the toxic aspects of our modern culture, because I think it's more meaningful to keep fighting with a keen understanding of where we are a society. 

You are and will always be enough, no matter what the adverts tell you. 

I'm undeserving of a purpose, but I will battle 'til I'm burning up.

Evoke - Vertigo

Life is—in some ways—like a war against the natural violence of the natural world and the constructed hardships of human society. 

Our peace of mind can be completely shattered by revelations about the potential suffering that is available to us. We find ourselves in free-fall. Up is down. Down is up. Reality becomes contorted. The experience is distancing, disorienting, and exhausting. Through it all, the only stability we have comes from the people we choose to surround ourselves with. Luckily for me, I have some of the best friends in the world and they’ve supported me in some incredibly meaningful and selfless ways. 

Even though we’re told that we’re hopeless if we falter for even a moment, and that we need to respect the authorities imposed upon us—we are hunkered down, crawling our way through the trenches of life, watching each other’s backs and often worrying that we’re not doing enough for each other. Everything is on the line, but at least there’s a line for us to hold. Together.   

Savor the shrapnel. Remember to breathe. Moments like these are fleeting.

Lyrics:

[verse] 
We’re gonna crawl now—don’t let your guard down 
Don’t let anybody see 
Give the act up—it won’t protect us 
It’s no time for empathy 

You’ll be alright—we’re on the same side 
But don’t you ever think of burning me 
When you taste blood, stay with us 
And keep your chin up, oh 

Don’t fret now—just keep your head down 
And don’t let it get to you 
Don’t put your hands up—it won’t protect us 
Remember who you answer to 

There’s no remorse and no reset 
Please acknowledge that I’ve made that clear 
If you choke up then you’re hopeless 
And you won’t leave here 

[Chorus] 
Looking at you, looking at me 
Pieces of mind float freely 
Savor the shrapnel. Remember to breathe 
Moments like these are fleeting 
In the aftermath 
In the aftermath 
In the aftermath 
Of a revelation 

[Verse] 
When we get through this and you review it 
Will you ever forgive me? 
Will I do enough, or maybe too much? 
Will I fight or fly or freeze? 

Are you still alive? Are you alright? 
Don’t you think of giving up on me 
Say something—stay with me 
Please just wake up 

[Chorus] 
Looking at you, looking at me 
Peaces of mind float freely 
Savor the shrapnel. Remember to breathe 
Moments like these are fleeting 

In the aftermath 
In the aftermath 
In the aftermath 
Of a revelation

ALDEN GROVES - Aftermath

[verse] 
Last night was a failure 
Deep down in a pungent chamber 
I awake to the thought that I’m losing sleep 
Great… 

And I can’t remember 
How I came to depend on a savior 
Or why I let it get to me 
OK 

Divide into fractions 
Conversations dry like the rations 
A little salt goes a long way 
It’ll all be OK 

Each verse is a lie of omission 
In the dirt in the fetal position 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[interlude] 
Nothing on the frontier is without a definite purpose 
No individual is without a definite purpose either 
Survival’s too difficult 

[Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
I’m your liability 

[Verse] 
No more questions 
I’ve had enough of your goddamn questions 
Maybe I’m a sucker for irreverence 
Maybe I will suffer from irrelevance 

Each life is a type of decision 
In the mud I am one with resistance 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 
There are no perfect people 
I know you’re only trying 
But I’ve forgotten how to be 
Alive 
[End Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 

You better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

You’ll know better 
I’m you liability

Liability

ALDEN GROVES - Liability

This song is about loving somebody who can’t emotionally reciprocate. Being in love is exciting, but also often stressful. When the relationship is unhealthy or communication isn’t solid, it can be a really tumultuous experience. 

All of my most intense emotions tend to manifest in my music, and this is no exception. I channeled all of my codependent angst into this one. It was really cathartic—belting my head off about my unrequited affections. Hopefully you can feel the same release singing along. It also reminded me how much I love rapping. Expect more of that soon.

I’m shaking the limbs on every oak tree I thought that you might have been hiding in.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] 
I’m taking a look upon the castle 
I built for you with rough and ragged hands 
Am I a slave or an apostle? 
Cause I can’t seem to stand 

I’m shaking the limbs on every oak tree 
I thought that you might have been hiding in 
Was it poetic or insipid? 
The way I feared it might have been 

Cause I’m 
[Prechorus] 
Stuck in a cage looking to gain your favor 
What can I say? What can I say? 
I’m carving your name into the nape of my behavior 
But lover know that every day 
[Chorus] 
I can hold you down 
You can pull me under 
You can claw my back 
Like I’m the last you’ll ever know 
I can hold you down 
We can roll like thunder 
You can pull me close 
We’ll make it last forever 
Past forevermore 

[Verse 2] 
I made the decision not to face it 
But that decision never got me much 
All of my echoes rang complacent 
So I hung up 

And now I’m 

[Prechorus] 
[Chorus] 

Your medicine honey—medicine honey 
Has been sending me to bed in the morning 
Better report it to a medic 
But it’s never distorting never contorting 
And I’m betting 
I’m inanimate in animals and annals it’s unanimous 

Art speaks and I’m planted on a planet with 
Weak knees when I speak of your features 
At least I’m appeasing a beast 
But I need what I need and it seems you’re my weakness 

So let me shriek you a secret 
Iterated by the queen bee keeper 
This hive is alive with a fervor 
Buzzing with the hum of the mind of the server 

It’s at your service 
Quite right that it’s not quite perfect 
Set alight by you—I’ll do right by you 
All night till we reach the surface 

[Chorus]

ALDEN GROVES - Your Favour

I went back to my roots with this one. The classic evOke sound was characterized by more intense bass lines and edits, and I still love that stuff in the right context. 

I wanted to play off the double-meaning of “windows”: windows into houses and windows on a computer. In one sense, when I’m really upset I retreat into my online life. I can’t seem to close my windows. Similarly, when I’m really emotionally raw, it feels like I can’t close my emotional windows—all the weather from outside just pours into my house. His holiness Au5 gave me a lot of pointers when it came time to mix this one down, particularly with the heavier sounds. 

[Verse] 

Face the divine 
I shouldn’t have gotten involved 
Left me alive 
So I could receive the signal 

I can’t decide 
Whether to wither or wander 
Seasons go by 
And I can’t seem to close my windows 

[Verse 2] 
Taste the profound 
Stirring and energetic 
Lost in the cloud 
I’m ebbing along the static 

I can’t be found 
Whether I wither or wander 
Seasons go round 
And I can’t seem to close my windows 

[Verse 3] 
Come up for air 
This is the day you’ve longed for 
We’re almost there 
Just skirting the edge of a thunderstorm 

I can’t be scared 
Whether we wither or wander 
Seasons don’t care 
That I can’t seem to close my windows

Windows

I think the lyrics on this one speak for themselves. I wrote them after a pretty painful breakup, wherein I had been accused of a lot of things, most of which were unfair or outright untrue. I channeled all my anger and confusion into this tune. 

The original draft of this beat is actually the oldest part of the album, having originally been drafted up in late 2014. In mid 2015 I had a friend come over and record trombone layers in my apartment. My neighbor was pretty unhappy with that decision. One of my favorite parts of the whole album is near the end of the song where all the different vocal melodies layer up on top of each other.

Lyrics:

[Chorus] 
Remember 
Who you were 
When you were just one of us 
I don’t care 
Where you’ve been 
I’ll accept you as you are 

[Verse 1] 
Leave what you want 
Take what you need and 
Make a scene if you gotta make a scene and 
Long story is the short one’s indecent 
And I’d be wary of the meaning 

But if you’re ready to receive it 
I’ve been watching you demean your demeanor 
And my former lover wouldn’t have believed it 
It’s like I’m sleeping with a demon 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 2] 
It sounds meaner than I mean it 
But I’m certain there’s a serpent in the cedar 
There’s a poison apple I shouldn’t have eaten 
The botanicals of Eden 

Remember how you were a dreamer 
I’m a chemical reaction to your ether 
I’d be silent if I thought you couldn’t resurge 
From the chasms of the sea girl 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 
Don’t know you anymore 
Dissolve into the petrichor 
You know you’ve changed—you’re paranoid 
From the serene into the voice 

And what am I to say of loving? 
When I don’t even know the person I’m in love with 
My perception of that person doesn’t function 
Unreflected on the surface of the ocean 

There’s a blurring that’s too casual to cope with 
In this flurry of affliction and emotion 
Can we manage not to damage our devotion 
Or are we just to leave it broken? 

[Verses, Bridge, Chorus, all layered]
