Extraneousdeath

I know I said I was done with Extraneousdeath. I was actually planning on putting out some weird synth instrumentals, but I was messing around with these sounds the other day and it turned into this song. I'm not big on writing lyrics to songs, and I just don't put the effort into to them in making them be well crafted, artsy or pretentious. They end up being very plain spoken, transparent and off the cuff. And I don't spend a lot of time trying to reinvent the melody or do something fancy. It's just what comes out. And relatively for me the vocals are pretty clean. The track itself is just some simple layers of the same chords, with just a couple note variations. Beyond that the only samples used are heavily affected and unrecognizable (the names of the tracks are Future and Stranded, appropriate I thought).

I believe this is as fitting an end as can be for these type of tracks I've been releasing over the last couple of years. I know I keep beating a dead horse in saying that I'm done with Extraneous Vapor. That isn't necessarily the case, but I want to reinvent the whole way I do things. The past several tracks, everything on Extraneousdeath and all the Modulated Stab stuff I've been releasing were done with some free software and filters and are very rough, mixed loud and big. They aren't intended for listening off a phone...just in the confines of my daily listening habits. It's shared as a glimpse into my wandering thoughts expressed simply and matter of factly. I'll even include the lyrics I wrote.

Nextforever:

I'm crawling around in my head
I fear complacency has put me to bed
And now I long
I'm nearer
All these changes that are dragging me here

Throughout all the pain and tears
All these violent tendencies everywhere
So bold
So cold
They push us as far as we'll go
But no more will I hide
The person I am deep inside
How can I hide
Or fear
To be who I am without you near

This is what is next for me
To be whatever it is I wanna be
Nevermore will I lie
When all I wanna do is fly

Nextforever
