I can see you
and your Coke-bottle glasses
Talking blood and gases
Oxygen as it passes
It was funny
How they blew-up your eyes
And you always looked surprised
When you talked and surmised

Of the natural things
Creatures with wings
And the science of the eye
And how it dilates
And decisions made by primates

One day you said,
Please call me Micha
Gave a lecture on pica
Disorders of the poor and afflicted
I was addicted
To your mustache on my lips
Your hands on my hips

And the natural things
Creatures with wings
And the science of the eye
And how it dilates
And decisions made by primates

The day you went away
Took your Coke-bottle tears
All your gourmet beers
Said you still had years, to find yourself
But I found a garden
And I lay myself down
Watched the ants march around

With the natural things
Creatures with wings
The science of the eye
And how it dilates
And decisions made by primates
Made by primates

And decisions made by primates
Made by primates

Decisions Made by Primates

I've set the mood.

Presenting "ELARA" - Sisyphus & His Stone (The Perpetual Refresh & The Lagging Connection)

Sisyphus & His Stone is used to describe any effort that is laborious, futile & repetitive.  It highlights the frustration and meaninglessness associated with ELARA's tasks, often encountered in various aspects of her life from work to personal struggles.

Original Lyrics 

I really don’t want to bore you
but then again I can’t ignore you

so its
One step forward
two steps back

Taking two steps forward
Taking one step back

Woke up with the sunrise, a fresh page to write
Left the shadows behind me, stepped into the light 
Had a vision, a clear path, felt the wind at my back
Every stride was a promise, no turning, no looking back 
Built a little momentum, saw the future unfold 
A story of rising, brave and bold 
Thought I'd finally broken free, from the weight I had known 
On solid ground, I thought I'd finally grown

(Chorus)
 But it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back 
Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control
Then the phone rings, a sudden jolt, a bill I didn't see 
Or the car breaks down again, just when I felt free 
A whispered doubt from yesterday, echoes in my head 
All the progress I had made, lies broken, unsaid 
The energy drains from my bones, the fire starts to fade 
Another dream postponed, another promise betrayed It's a familiar ache, this sinking feeling deep 
As all the ground I gained, I just can't seem to keep

(Chorus)
And it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep 
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control
How many times can I stand up, when the fall feels so profound? 
How many times can I rebuild, on this unstable ground? 
The spirit's weary, the hope is thin, but something stirs inside 
A stubborn whisper, telling me, there's nowhere left to hide 
From this endless push and pull, this fight I have to face 
To find the strength to start again, and run this endless race

(Chorus)
Still, it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep 
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control

Yeah, one step forward, and two steps back... Just gotta find my way... back on track.

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
Where you came from
What’s in your name
How to grow a garden
Such a sinful shame
Won’t find it in your schoolbooks
History and Science
The truth has been cooked
To keep you in compliance

CHORUS
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to know, whoa

[Music]

How money works
How to get ahead
How to heal your body
Rid demons from your head
Won’t find it in the library
Lookin’ high and low
Just pray to Mother Mary
Sit back, enjoy the show, no

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know

[Music]

Scroll through the web
The discrepancies
Like trying to navigate
The Seven Seas
Won’t find it in the Bible
If you don’t bear the light
Just who’s your greatest rival
Just who to fight

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
‘Cuz they don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know..

[Music]

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW

Cyber Choir (2025)

In this track, we worked with @noxpox21 to explore the theme of teleportation. We imagined what it was like for Rob's character Riven to learn to teleport.

We were heavily inspired by Portal 2's soundtrack.

Thanks for listening to this wild chaotic science experiment of a track. And thank you noxpox for the collaboration!

We made it creative commons and remixable, so feel free to make a noncommercial version of it if you like.

Original title: I like to sample old drums

Open collaborations have always triggered me and they have to be cooked, when they are still hot. So when I listened to the new track of Marquis I knew immediately what I wanted to do and created a remix in a few hours. My approach is, that I have replaced the warm and organic sounding drum-loops with cold and sterile sounding synth-sounds. Though I am far from being a Hip hop-producer I tried to apply a polished and modern attitude. I painstakingly recreated the groove of the original loops, shifting sounds exactly to the same place. All sounds are made with the Zebra-synth and mixed in Logic. I used two raps and tried to create a smooth transition between them.

Lyrics 
Take The Max Down To Hillsboro  
Hey maybe when were done collabing  
You should  
Take the max down to hillsboro  
Kickback and relax 
We could have fun 
Eat some cake at Decadent Creations  
Chill and bake in the sun, then Run to the Bagley park pavilion 
When the rain has begun 
We don’t use none umbrellas here 
Just jackets from Columbia  
I could buy you one cause there Is no sales tax,  
I don’t lie, just facts 
We all like to try to put bike racks on our Subarus  
What chus got to loose  
Boos is only sold  
At the liquor store I got one near me called 
Wholesale Liquor store 
Yo what more  
Do you want to know From the Portland Airport  
You can go  
Take the max down to Hillsboro It’ll cost around 4 to 6 bucks  
And take about an hour and 45 minutes 

This One Goes  
This one goes out to Portland breweries even though I don’t drink keep making them brews 
This one goes out to Washington Park for the oldest west of the Mississippi zoo 
This one goes out to Beaverton Nike workers cause you know we keep wearing them shoes 
This one goes out to Hillsboro  
This one goes out to Cornelius, every day I go to work I’m just passing through 
This one goes out to Forest Grove Pacific University keep collecting them dues  
Fuck going into debt for school
