Lyrics:

verse 1:

tell me, are these dreamscapes in my head
dripping with some truth i’ve yet to have read?

they peel me so sweet as tangerines,
drip down my face with bleeding veins.

.
verse 2:

I can hear you calling my name,
I can hear you, calling my song.

I can’t hear your face, so far away
I can’t see your name, may be a mistake…

.
refrain 1:

Yeah my name, it
might be a mistake...


and,
in my home, I
feel so out of place.

.

chorus 1:

All these vined thresholds
They hold me so close, smother my cradle,
[can’t leave me for dead.]

All my vined thresholds
I burst/burn through their fence, 
run towards the gates…
			refrain 2:
away from her gaze.
away from her, 	gaze.
pre-bridge:
i’m
refraining up hilled inclines,
back turned to green gate vines,
running towards the fenced woods, i’m
belting  like unsung  bassoons		[to unsleep.]

.

bridge 1:

I don’t wanna change,
blockage in the strain,
smartphone on a stage,
pumping me with rage:		[fear]

soil flatlined on blank skies,
rowed like corporate coke lines
sprout orange, yellow, red kale leaves
plants alien like Mc D’s

ivory roots of tendrils; i scream;
reaching at me through shiny coal screens.		 [pumped with rage, i mean fear, i mean—]

.

chorus 2:
all these vined thresholds
hold me so close, smother my cradle,
				can’t leave me for dead.

chant: 

Just let me know, always be there for
Just let me know, always be there for
Just let me know, always be there for you
Just sign your name so I sing through your throat.
[can’t leave me for dead.]//[ivory roots of tendrils; i scream;
reaching at me through coal screens.]

.
chorus 3/chant:

Just let me know, always be there for you
(all these vined thresholds)
Just let me know, always be there for you
(choking my mind-core)
Just let me know, always be there for...
(I can hear you calling my name, I can hear you, calling my song.)

outro:
think I can’t breathe by the way you choke, i
think I can’t breathe by the way you choke		me.

Old lyrics:
Verse 1:
My mind gets so loud under the stars
If I don't listen it's pulled apart

My mind, it only listens to the moon
The sun might sing daylight but wont wake soon

Chorus:
Where does my mind go
When I know I have everything to say?

Where does my mind go
When all my words can't pass thru these gates?

Verse 2

Chorus

Chorus 2:
Where does my mind go
When I don't know, don't know what else to say?

Where does my mind go,
Searching intertwined gossamers and inbetweens

Refrain:
Every vined threshold
Cradles me so gentle

Every vined threshold
Cradles me so gentle,
where will I go?

What do I know?
Mmm, mmm….

Mental imagery: 

silhouette of woman turned to the right, her back to the camera at around 45 degrees?
duotone? shifting/swirling purple-red sky double-exposure.

VINED THRESHOLDS [instrumental]

VINED THRESHOLDS (instrumental) [CHAPTER 4: NIGHT-TERRORS & NIGHT-MARES]

[CW: racial violence] I once dreamt I witnessed a white man shooting a black man in a shed. I was sitting on the floor next to a table. I trembled with fear, knowing I was next. He pointed the sun at me and pulled the trigger. Not long after, the BLM riots started. If you are not directly impacted by racism, I want these songs to make you feel the anxious experiences of existing as a person of global majority (of color) in America. 

these songs are from my dark electronic mixtape album, "ALL HALLOW'S EVE". listen in full here: https://soundcloud.com/dogdaysareovermusic/all-hallows-eve-halloween-mix-tape-ft-sophie-brooke-candy-bree-runway-dua-saleh

This song is a hypnotic journey into the underworld, abruptly interrupted by its own lack of cadence and resolution. Inspired by a surreal dream sequence of a fenced off forest and a hologram of plants rapidly sprouting their filament roots at my face (making me scream). This song is a warning to my future self to not allow myself to be stripped of my gifts by the music and creative industries; to stay rooted in my unique voice. Let go of the vined thresholds, ascend towards the gates of inner potential.

chords - Ebsus2, Fm

LYRICS:

pure purge on a splurge with an urge to demigod
the shit i been holding the back of my throat, been HOLDIN OUT on god
 
like GODDAMN, the sun’s knocking my tongue like Jev Witness
like GODDAMN the moon running laps like  Nike Fitness 

like sunday choirs echoing through an empty cathedral like 
god how could you gift me all this joy and no pain to carry it with either

god why would you clear my throat, can't choke on my spit anymore, 
sun and moon waltzing on my tongue,  purging trauma outta the door    [swallowed]

before my body - become choir to / the hymns of / my unhaunted memories 

purity clarified
dewdrops in hurricanes,
megaquake shatterin’

skyscrape-thoughts forgotten!

post purge of inkpages
spilling over your eardrums 

like what you got to say 
when those bells stop ringing 

when that cathedral is joy when 
god’s a hymn bellowing 
your most unholy sacrilege?

GODDAMN prayers,
all of your haters be 
“love you laters”
all of my witnesses
they own saviors
all of our beings be
divine leaders,
DEMON SLAYERS!

GODDAMN! [pure purge]

GODDAMN! [pure purge] (Instrumental)

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

“Is Source as imperfectly sacred as the divine machinations of our bodies?”

2.8.2122 12 AM [pacific interval time-space]

TOMORROW NIGHT! A concertina adrenaline of expertuous novelties. Audiences bellowing into stadiums of emulsified prodotti-digitization. Strange Alchemy Records VR music festival tomorrow, headlining Dog Days Are Over. Get tickets in .25 milliseconds now! Just scan your-

[It’s a miracle that old guy still sings! We got tickets, so…]

The new iPhone is dead like poetry.	 When did you last-	
[HA yeah right! I’m here, poeting.]

Open your E.Y.E. to the grandissime spectacle of multichromatic sprint races against time. 

[33.3EM has the best channeler!]

Survival into transcendence. Singularity multitudes of pocket universes. Cells powered by billion neurons cascading at light speed, exponentially past perceptually unconscious comprehension. 
	[listening silence]
Reborn per minute. VR neon city facade. 
Crypto: skyscrapers laughing in the mouths of multiquadricepbillionaires. 
[Daaamn. Always on point. I’ll catch the replay.]

The Multi-tronoid, now “TRENDING” on PictoSphere. 
[HA! you hearing this bae?]
Available at your virtually redlined liquor store.
[Yeah, I remember growing up in that barrio last century.]

Welcome to Photosynthesis: the latest singularity multimetaverse. Telekinesis friends at 5k nanothoughts a second for only .0001 $PSS. Rushing to your interstellar meeting but wanting to rant to your friend about your latest intertimespace server error traffic? Our multiplanetary services are fit for you! Get yours now at —

Can you believe this? It’s insane. Been a century since that first pandemic. Who’d have imagined it’d be like this? Driving a radio truck out into the woods and still having signal. Who takes time anymore to just. slow. down? Everyone “talks” so fast. Communicating telepathically gives me a headache. 

Yea babe, you almost had a panic attack keeping up with our friend’s depersonalization crisis last night. We had to watch Pokemon to calm you down.

Yeah, he was up all night studying through that VR singularity download software. That overload glitch messed him up bad. 100 TerraBytes in a second. Can you believe that? My brain would literally explode. This latest transdemic is forcing us to slow down. Half the world is infected. It’s even glitching the multimetaverse. Where is the alchemically decolonized dreamscaping? The rest, the joy? God, I can’t wait for everything to explode-

Are you done? 

Er… i mean…

Bae, you’ve been flipping through the radio and ranting for like an hour. Can’t we just enjoy all this? I have 7 days left to live. My transition is tomorrow. You can’t rant to me as a triple helix tree or vinyl hologram of my ashes. The world keeps going faster, and I still want to take it second by second, with you.

*Sigh…* you’re right. I get so spiraled in these illusions. I love and hate it. My biometrics got leaked on the dark we-

We talked about this.

Okay… Deep breath. Soy cuir Xochipilli Otomí Hnahnu. I am the Being.

Exactly. Re-grounding. Just as I taught you, bae. 

…My dreams aren’t the same. Sometimes i think I’m in VR and everything is just-

And so what if it is? Our senses are basically VR in this multiverse we exist in.

…Mmmh. 

Bae.

Yeah?

I really love you. Really. I love you like a heart pumps blood. Flesh-analog.

I really, really love you too. I love you like I know I can love you.

Haha not so poet now! Can I kiss you under the stars and full moon like a cheesy 2020’s romcom?

Hahaha we are so old!!! Of course my love.

In Lak ‘Ech Ala K’ In. You are my other me.

OFFICIALLY MY FIRST @HRDRV BEAT! love my community label <3

"New Year, Same Shit" questions the concept of "new  year new me". It asks the listener to reflect on the resolutions they've made, and hold themselves accountable. It emphasizes that life is temporary, and if you want to achieve your goals, then "you gotta give up what you're not". Recording this harmonic song in my closet and belting my heart out gave me pure joy. 

LYRICS:

New year, same shit!
Let’s do this! Resolutions ain’t shit without accountability.

 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)

I’m Hector F  Castaneda of Dog Days Are Over, 	 
welcome to my world.	

 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)	

Verse:

If this life's not special,
Then my breath is blasphemy.
 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)

If this life’s not eternal,
Then my breath is most holy.
 All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (tell me)

Hook:

You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

Verse 2:

I’m always being reborn, destiny
This isn’t tied to your 2023.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (they within)

I’m sometimes feeling unborn, unhappily
I let go and I breathe on my knees.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at? (they within)
  

Hook:
You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit
You on that new year, same shit, same shit
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo

Bridge:

If you tryna grow shit
Then give it all you got
If you’re gonna go big
You gotta give up what you’re not

Said if I’m tryna grow shit
Then I’ll give it all I got
If I’m gonna go big
Then I’ll give up what I’m not

This life’s a huge present
So you better hold it close
If you’re gonna transcend
You gotta firework and explode

This life’s one huge presence
So I better hold it close
If I’m gonna transcend
I gotta firework and explode~

If I’m gonna transcend
I gotta firework and explode~

Outro:

Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at?

LYRICS:

Shhhhh….
shhhhh…

I am the silenced
I am the voiceless

I am the silencer, your colonizer


I am the silenced
I am the voiceless

I am the silencer, your colonizer
 

I am the silenced, you cannot hear me
I am the voiceless, you always mute me
I am the unsung, unbury my tongue
I am the unborn, til you speak of me

I AM THE SILENCER, YOU ALWAYS FEAR ME
I AM THE VOICE IN YOUR MIND, YOU CANNOT MUTE ME
I AM THE SONG SUNG, I’LL BURY YOUR TONGUE
I AM THE REBORN, EVERYONE SPEAKS OF ME

We are the screaming, you colonized us
We are the movement, you cannot hide us
We are orchestral, you in denial
We are ancestral, you just forgetful

WE ARE THE WHITE SMILE, WE’LL COLONIZE YOU
WE ARE THE SYSTEM, WE’LL CAPITALIZE YOU
WE ARE POWERFUL, YOU JUST AN ANIMAL
WE ARE THE DIS-EASE, YOU BE A CRACKED SKULL

We Brown, Black, and native, queering your dreamscapes
We making new worlds here, you cannot escape
We environmental, come become spectral
We experimental, come be alchemical

I AM THE SILENCER, YOU ALWAYS FEAR ME
I AM THE VOICE IN YOUR MIND, YOU CANNOT MUTE ME
I AM THE SONG SUNG, I’LL BURY YOUR TONGUE
I AM THE REBORN, EVERYONE SPEAKS OF ME

You are the silencers, you are the violencers
You are the genocide, pumping through our veins
You are the wetiko, spreading the dis-ease
Your selfishness and greed, your soul a spoiled seed
 
WE ARE THE WHITE SMILE, WE’LL COLONIZE YOU
WE ARE THE SYSTEM, WE’LL CAPITALIZE YOU
WE ARE POWERFUL, YOU JUST AN ANIMAL
WE ARE THE DIS-EASE, YOU BE A CRACKED SKULL

We Brown, Black, and native, queering your dreamscapes
We making new worlds here, you cannot escape
We environmental, come become spectral
We experimental, come be alchemical

SILENCED, SILENCER

my first romantic song about dreaming with a loved one 🦋🌌💛🌀✨
website: https://DOGDAYSMUSIC.COM

-LYRICS-

Verse 1:

You tell me you’re wide awake
With nothing else to say, to say

You give me that glare you seek
With everything to pray for today

I gave you my heart away,
you nest it over broken family

Chorus:

But boy, your presence is butterflies,
A winged bed rising past each sky

And both our bodies slowly rising,
We break spheres while dreaming…

Oh, his presence is butterflies,
A winged bed rising past each sky

And both our bodies slowly rising,
We break spheres while drea		ming…


Refrain:

We’re dreaaaaaamin…
We’re dreaaaaaamin…

Verse 2:

Ya sabes que te extraño.
Yo te quiero aquí conmigo.
Llamame de entre las nubes.
Y pronto regresare a tierra.

Chorus:

Boy, your presence is butterflies,
A winged bed rising past each sky

And both our bodies slowly rising,
We break spheres while dreaming

Chico, 
tu presencia es mariposas
Cama-angel flotando por cielos

Y nuestros cuerpos suben despacio
Quebramos esferas mientras soñamos…

You tell me you’re wide awake
With nothing else to—

*music box prelude*
 
Spoken Intro: 
“All of a sudden, it’s like you’ve become aware of your own existence, how unwhole you are.
And you’re constantly being reborn...
Again...
And again...
And again...
And again.
It doesn’t stop.”
 
Verse 1:
“My God, what’s this, I wanna be like that”
Break my dreams ‘til I wake up rich and pleasing to look at
“Gosh, that boy, that girl, they don’t look half bad”
Fuck, kiss, love ‘em so I don’t feel sad
 
Pre-Chorus:
I think I’m done now, not surprised if my blood has died~
“I know you’re tired now, but you gotta keep your thoughts alive~”
 
*instrumental w/ choral break*
 
Chorus:
(You,/ Me,/ Them,/ You,/) Got it in your mind like the whole world’s new
(I,/ See,/ You,/ Like you,/) Got it all on track and no one else bites back
(Oh,/ So,/ I should try this now) Blow up the path, now I dare you to do the math~
(Try*/ Talking*/ “What’s*/ Up?*”) On what’s gonna happen if I just grow up?
 
Post-Chorus/Outro: x2
Just grow up
Just grow up
I just grow up
(On) What’s gonna happen when/if I (just) grow up?
 
Verse 2:
Starting your homework at 3 AM... (Ba-a-a-ad habi-its)
Staying up all night like I’ve made the stars my suns (“CONTROL”)
Repeat the last song ‘til you stop slipping up, wro-o-ong
“Stop with your mind games, thinking you’re alone with your fun?” (Drugs, sex, guns, nostalgic)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
 
Bridge 1:
Here again, there, hope I don’t fuck it up again
God loved His children, so He spoke so I could feel alone,
FRIENDS now I have to see, where in my heart, is my home?
 
Here again, there, now I see why we’ll cry tonight
“I love you” became a distant view, must wait ‘til it sparks just right
I can see now it’s possible to laugh then fight, in the same day
 
Bridge 2: [choral bit + spoken word]
I feel like
Like...
I could explode at any possible second.
Of joy, sadness, paranoia, completeness, confusion, happiness, love, hate, compassion, clarity, sorrow, despair, tragedy, overthinking...
Sometimes the more I look and the harder I try, the less I see...
But I guess it’ll only help if I keep going forward. Why go back? I am who I am because of now and the past. I’ll take root in that past, and grow towards something bigger. Just take the reigns on swimming with the river.
 
[“silent” choral]
[“silent” chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro]

Rina Sawayama's gayass song "Cherry" was the first song I'd ever heard from her. I was in awe of this amazing queer woman of color expressing her journey of coming out to the world. "Even though I'm satisfied, I live my life within a lie. Holding onto feelings I'm not used to feeling, but OH they make me feel alive!" I couldn't help but bring it to life amidst a full orchestra full of ambiance.

[Verse]
I wasn't in the mood for love
But you're quite funny
I see that you want me
I guess I could do this
It was kinda like a summer love
OJ and soda
So sweet it could kill you
I should check what I'm sippin' on

[Chorus]
Don't play with my heart
I'm tryna be smart, but
I can't control this, hold on
I'm dizzy with headaches
I need a medic
Can you stay still while I'm like this?
Ah-oh, mmm, mmm

[Verse]
She's the kinda girl who will fuck you up
I'm the kinda girl who will love too much
Remember when I kissed all of the tears off your face?
You want endless care and infinite space, mmm

[Chorus]
Don't play with my heart
I'm tryna be smart, but
I can't control this, hold on
I'm dizzy with headaches
I need a medic
Can you stay still while I'm like this?


[Outro]
Lipstick on my neck, I won't forget, I won't forget you
Eyes shut, I'm a wreck, there's no sunset
There's no sunset without you
There's no sunset without you
There's no sunset without you

SURRENDER by WILLOW & Jahnavi except ur literally in heaven (KRISHNA KESHAVA)[ETHEREAL HEAVEN MIX]

in the distance i hear a knocking and it does not make me cower like my mother’s knuckleknocks it cradles the internality of my forehead and sparks, catalyzes its inner uncrucifying from the body it held onto so tight for so long so for many centuries, the way the light glints at its own reflection it glistens and gleams into god’s last dream dissolved onto the mouths of his disciples during his last supper, supper is just a synonym for “rite of passage for slumber” and so in the thesaurus of my mind, my every stomached meal becomes a ritual becomes the inversion of sacramented eucharist and my every ancestor awakens from the grave of my innermind mausoleum and they chant in harmonies stacked like summits birthing other mountains on top of themselves and in this way i am reborn like i always am, everyday this ceremony blesses my skin with the alive of my pulse and i tap my wrists in awe at their organic machinery and how my breath is the summary of my well-being and how many bodies have died in the name of unjust sacrilege and how the priest never forgives sinners within the depths of his lockboxed chest and isn’t lockbox just a man’s way of imprisoning what he knows can set fire to his skyscrapers, like his sky suddenly scraping itself into the multiplicity of a black hole’s singularity until his ego crumbles back into the stardust that birthed it like how a mother could unbirth their child at any moment but does not and thus the undoing becomes the holy and thus i am undone until i am nothing but a ball of light floating incandescent in the hands of God, telling my father that God had something special in mind when he decided to emerge me from the shadows of what should have never been born, my mother’s birth canal was too narrow, my cranium too large, to this day i’ve had to constantly allow ancestral and descendant energies to cradle me out from narrow birthcanals each time i’m reborn and this channeling and everything but a death and death is nothing but a vein collapsing into a root system, and i am every nothing that brought me here to breathe myself into existence until i resurrect every choir the preacher deemed too revolutionary too potent too earthquake and so i paint a self-portrait each time enough of my cells invert themselves into near-irrecognition and my cognition expands beyond the [tele-]scope of the previously impossible and possibility becomes but a crystalline sphere within my grasp and i sigh at how closed eyes could channel a river through their forehead as well, all they have to do is sit in a field of bullets and neuron and bone and blood [and clay] and metal and fire and webs and mirrors and kaleidoscopes and listen and listen and listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen

Voices (Apricity) - lyrics

In this moment, alive and tangled,
In the eyes of polyquantizers,

I know you feel me.
I know you breathe me.

In this moment, choirs singing.
All harmonies hold you in place.

I bleed apricity,
I feel you knowing me.

Listen, focus, they sing.
Listen, focus, 	they sing.
Listen, focus, they sing.
Listen, focus, 	they sing.

All the Voices, all resonating.
In cranial thoughtways, blending unlanguaged.

Quantizing cell mo	saics,
Polyrhythm ca		thedrals.

Birdsong,
Forest gale,
Ocean grains,
listening, 	speaking.

I sing, you Sense me.
Sunrise sherbet re	birth, 
novel a			pricity.

(Listen, focus, they sing.
Listen, focus, 	they sing.
Listen, focus, they sing.
Listen, focus, 	they sing.)

inspired by staying up in the woods on acid and listening to the birds and watching the sunrise while my coworkers slept in their tent :'D
