The second single from Aan's forthcoming LP 'Over The Mountain' – out December 6th on Fresh Selects: fsx.lnk.to/laced

"Laced and Lost" is a song about making music. It's about examining what motivates a person to create, what motivates me, and the question "is it intrinsically unethical to make art with no emotional depth?"

Lyrics:

Amputate the heart of it,
I know it can’t be real
Shallow introspection,
So little is revealed
All the little creatures 
 will rot against their will

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

Let me kiss your emptiness,
Your sonic voided space
Your elevator music makes me feel prostrated
If I keep my back against the truth, love
The best all have their backs against some truth

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I could let it go

Anchored in this always, 
I wanted to be there
Hallowed in this ageless place,
I was unprepared
Am I always backed against the truth, love?
The best are always backed against some truth

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I’d let it go

If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I’d let it go

If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I’d let it go

If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, why am I slow?
Damned if I…
