THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER
BETTER THAN US
THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER
BETTER THAN US

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
BUT THEY ARE FREE TO THINK
WHATEVER THEY WANT
IT’S WHAT THEY DO WITH THOSE THOUGHTS
THE WAY THAT THEY CHEAT AND EXTORT

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
SIMPLY BECAUSE, WELL, SIMPLY BECAUSE….
OUR VALUE DETERMINED BY THE THINGS THAT WE OWN
BUT WE’RE SIMPLY ROLLING STONES
WHO HAVE GATHERED NO MOSS

THINKING THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
WELL, IT COMES AT A COST
AND WE’RE ALWAYS THE ONES
WHO MUST SHOULDER THE LOSS

ALWAYS BEEN THIS GULF
BETWEEN THE FIRST AND THE LAST
THIS GREAT DIVIDE
WILL NEVER BE A THING OF THE PAST

EXPECTING OUR SUBSERVIENCE
BECAUSE IT’S WHAT WE’RE TAUGHT
WE DON’T FORGET OUR PLACE
THAT WE’RE NOT REALLY THEIR SORT

WE OCCUPY THE SAME TIME
BUT NOT THE SAME SPACE
A SOCIAL NORM TABOO
WOULD BE COMING FACE TO FACE


THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
BUT THINKING THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
MAKES US BETTER THAN THEM

LOOKING DOWN, LOOKING DOWN
LOOKING DOWN ON US

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
WE’RE THE UNTOUCHABLE ONES
WE’RE DISPOSABLE SCUM
ONE STEP UP FROM ZERO
THE CONTEMPTIBLE ONES

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
WE DON’T DESERVE OPINIONS
DON’T DESERVE TO FEEL THE SUN
FOR THIS IS THEIR DOMINION AND
WE MUST LIVE OFF THEIR CRUMBS

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
BUT THINKING THEY ARE BETTER THAN US
MAKES US BETTER THAN THEM

BREAK

WHAT THEY FEEL

LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
DESERVING OF CONTEMPT
WE’RE THE CONTEMPTIBLE ONES

WHAT THEY FEEL
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE

ALLOWING US TO BREATHE
THE SAME AIR THEY BREATHE
IS A PHILANTHROPIC ACT TO THEM
THAT’S WHAT THEY BELIEVE

WHAT THEY FEEL
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE

WE’RE THE UNTOUCHABLE ONES
WE’RE DISPOSABLE SCUM
ONE STEP UP FROM ZERO
WHAT THEY FEEL
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE
WHAT THEY FEEL ISN’T LOVE

THE CONTEMPTIBLE ONES
WE DON’T DESERVE OPINIONS
DON’T DESERVE TO FEEL THE SUN
FOR THIS IS THEIR DOMINION AND
WE MUST LIVE OFF THEIR CRUMBS

THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN US

"Tommy Zygote, a veteran of the Australian thrashing zombies music scene, delivers a new track, "Angel Merry-Go-Round," that transcends mere rock music.  It's a sonic tapestry woven from the threads of time travel, bass-driven stoner bass tech rock, and introspective lyricism.  The song's narrative, hinted at in the lyrics, paints a vivid picture of a musician navigating life's uncertainties and the mysteries of other dimensions, all while pushing the boundaries of bass technology.The lyrical theme centers around a struggle with health and wellbeing, highlighting the vulnerability often hidden beneath a musician's outward persona.  The opening lines, "When I look after myself, everything is going well," set the stage for a reflection on the fragility of health and the profound impact a personal crisis can have.  This vulnerability is juxtaposed with the tommy's signature sound, a raw, powerful bass driven rock sound.The chorus, "Angel merry-go-round once again. Take those pills, take those drills, and listen to what she said," hints at a desperate search for solutions, perhaps a fight against illness, but also a contemplation of the choices made along the way.  The seemingly paradoxical image of "drills" suggests a physical and potentially painful process of healing, contrasted with the more gentle yet forceful "pills."  This dichotomy is further amplified by references to "what she said," implying a relationship with a person who might be providing support or even offering conflicting advice.Tommy Zygote, beyond being a band member, is depicted as a time traveler, traversing the realms and dimensions.  This concept imbues the music with an otherworldly quality.  His bass-playing, described as "pioneering" in the innovative stoner bass tech rock genre, is paramount. The 'funckolator' and 'maton mini' might reference specific bass equipment, highlighting Zygote's innovative use of technology to explore these alternative realities, not just explore sound, but to document them - perhaps with his journals. The mention of him traveling through other realms and recording his experiences with his guitar exemplifies a unique artistic expression.The track, "Angel Merry-Go-Round," is more than just a song; it's a journey. It's a journey into the depths of personal struggle, a search for answers, and a celebration of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The musicality captures these sentiments perfectly with its stoner rock foundations. The lyrics, raw and honest, reveal the songwriter's soul, while the inclusion of a time travel theme invites the listener to interpret the sonic panorama in a broader context.The "Thrashing Zombies" band, with their 30 years of experience recording in Australia, have built a strong foundation for this unique sound. Their stoner rock influences provide a foundation of powerful riffs and hypnotic grooves, anchoring the song while allowing Tommy Zygote's innovative bass lines to soar. It's a testament to the band's commitment and progression over the years,  a collaboration between a veteran band and the innovative spirit of their member.The song's emotional core lies in the contrast between Tommy's struggles and the band's powerful sound. This juxtaposition creates a heightened sense of vulnerability and resilience.   The interplay of personal struggles reflected in the lyrics with the band and the innovative bass playing creates a captivating listening experience, inviting listeners on a subjective journey of introspection. "Angel Merry-Go-Round" is not just a rock track; it's a sonic exploration of the human condition." First track of new introspective album "Emotion State"

SUN IS LOW
-------------
Wind cries lonely 
across the snow
Sky is frozen,
sun is low
Ice cold dust dry as sand,
whip the ground upon this land

Never day, never night
All that I see... turn to white

Freezing,
time move slow,
back to fence.
I'll go where the white doves go

Winter,
please hide my way.
Cross the plain,
the hills and far away


Wolves that gathered,
have watched each move
Teeth are showing,
tails held low.
Hungry eyes with patience view,
In this domain their reign is true

Infinite march, likely in vain
Tracks cross the plain... turns to a chain

Freezing,
time move slow,
back to fence.
I'll go where the white doves go
where they go
in the night
they take flight
soaring to sky
so high and free
just like me
Always heading for their home
just like me

Sun is low

In Circles

Ten to one and due at one
Impossible to be to work on time, impossible
Assimilation is what I’m going for
Appreciation is all I’m asking, not disregard

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Boss is busy running ‘round in circles chasing 
After something we call adoration, amazing
Sneaking ‘round the back way 
Trying not to get noticed
Ten minutes late again, shoot, not again

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Oh, can’t see myself
Worried ‘bout tomorrow

Find my way, freedom and happiness
Beyond these walls, find my way

Oh, can’t see myself
Worried ‘bout tomorrow

Find myself up in the break room eating candy bars
Watching T.V., nothing getting done
End of my day I’m asked to stay
Finish pile of work that never stop piling up
No, I’m gone

Lyrics

"Why Why Why Mr Anderson,
Why do you get up?"

Is this the matrix?
Sure seems perfect
Who's the Merovingian?

Strung up by cortex
Real gone vortex
Not yet more intelligence
So are we alone?

Ok, see our radio waves
Small circle since their time invade
Not many stars out run...
In the sim?
Your alone!

But it's all so perfect
Overlord leisure?
An old AI's space treasure?
Well, sounds like we came together

Strung up by cortex
Real gone vortex
No oracle
No oracle

So what's morphing us?
Is it the trinity touch?
All Neos burst
Saying, I'll save me first

Strung up by cortex
Real gone vortex
My oracle
My oracle

So what's morphing us?
Is it the trinity touch?
All Neos burst
Saying, I'll save me first

So, I'm gonna to save me first

Ahhhh, space treasure 🌍

Looking at whether or not we are in a simulation!

Ok so here we have a tune about whether I believe or not that we live in a simulation. For the record I don't... I believe this is the beautiful reality the majority of humans believe and have believed we live in. The actual Universe and it's way better then any matrix!

The song is matrix themed as that for me paints the most amazing picture of this imagined reality! Oh speaking of reality. Meet Professor Richard Dawkins youtube.com/@poetryofreality?si=irmH9O6mNT57zlNX If you want a good solid taste of a beautiful reality... I'd suggest you subscribe and after watching him you'll be thanking you're existence he exists! He's lining up a good few ducks!
Also...A Short History of Nearly Everything g.co/kgs/bY1rdCE In my opinion the best book a human has produced yet on Earth. Bill Bryson makes an hilarious shot at reality here...

The universe is so damn nuts we will probably be able to build a matrix soon for the Merovingians of the world that want to be there...

Note... Something which I think is very significant to thinking about all this properly is what has happened human radio signals since they were first switched on. The 23rd of December 1900. So since then those waves and subsequent broadcasts have been travelling away from us at the speed of light. Today those first ones have traveled 687 trillion kilometers... The Milky Way, Our Galaxy is 950,000 trillion kilometers wide. So we really have broadcast ourselves to a speck of a speck of space so of course we haven't found other life yet. This I believe is a central argument to simulation theory advocates... 'Where are the aliens then?'.... They're further out that's all I think... Or my guess is there are already beings around us which we are not advanced enough yet to interact with.... But that's just a hunch. I also believe they respect the workings of whole systems and will await our advancement to enjoy the universe with us... For this reason I don't believe any super intelligent entity like that would want to control us. They would want us to evolve and make the whole Universe a more evolved and balanced one...

I'm my opinion if you believe this reality is a false reality then your mind is stuck in a conspiracy! Think critically & honestly to yourself. It's the only shot we have at explaining what on Earth we see.

If you do believe it... sure you might be right. if it's made properly your never meant to find out. So why then not try and discover the other scenario better and forget being lost trying to escape reality in the unknowable realms. The real scenario is where you can actually do what you like and it's way more fun.

In the future lots of the unknowable stuff will become knowable and we will evolve with that new intelligence. For now we all have to just.keep the head down and keep asking questions. Proper questions 🎧🎶🌿🧘🏻

In the WRONG PLACE at THE WRONG TIME with THE WRONG MINDSET, apparently making THE #WRONG #MUSIC, but it feels #RIGHT to ME!

Highly unlikely more than one of my tunes will ever be heard by more than a handful of listeners, so just for the record here is an incomplete list of artists my music has been compared to by other musicians, depending on which tunes they heard, StevenVellou (Gothic Funk)

Don't take sides and I'll respect you for it; take sides and I'll treat you with the same contempt I treat anyone with a mob mentality, because mob mentality invariantly betrays an underlying intolerant right-wing mentality!

#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!
>
My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
