Hammer, I Miss You

There's an egg
by your side
think about it 
all day and all night

There's an egg
you will keep
and at night
you will rock it to sleep

EGG BABY
EGG BABY
EGG BABY
MY LOVE FOR YOU IS REAL

There's an egg
you got from school
and if you drop it
you'll feel like a fool

There's an egg
you gave a name
and you'll forget it
one of these days

EGG BABY
EGG BABY
EGG BABY
MY LOVE FOR YOU IS REAL

DAY OUT:\
oh shit! and then    they come at me with cold lead\
and try to sell me on their fortunes\
and i say hey man i can't hold this\
it won't be like i want to take hold\
someday i'll wonder where the days go\
and they could take away my head-cold (2x)\
\
and it would be like the ocean\
and they would say they had my old tune\
and everybody could be happy\
and i would be the one to tap me (awake)\
\
but i would say "aloha"\
i would be the one to say "aloha"\
\
and they told me \
about the fortunes that await me\
oh that silver easter lily\
and then the sisterhood would kill me\
for crimes i didn't commit\
for crimes i wouldn't consider\
for crimes i would belittle (2x)\
\
hold me and then be ready in the morning\
you could believe that i'd be leaving\
i know i can't be staying\

DAY OUT

Been chasing independence all of my life
Wasted lots of minutes, but it's worth the fight
Let me write down my opinion
Let me write it down
Let me write down my opinion
Can you show me how?

I think we should go now
I want you to know how
It's alright to want in
But think of the subtleties
They happen so suddenly
It's alright to want in

Been chasing independence all of my life
Wasted lots of minutes, but it's worth the fight
Let me write down my opinion
Let me write it down
Much to my chagrin, yeah
Let me write it down

I think we should go now
I want you to know how
It's alright to want in
But think of the subtleties
They happen so suddenly
It's alright to want in

Engines wake me
In the morning
If they didn't
It'd be boring

Brightly lit fog
After midnight
Synthetic sources
Never moonlight

I think we've gone too far
I think we've gone too far
I think we've gone too far
I think we've gone too far

How could we have ever known
How could we ask for this
We don't know
The seeds we've sewn
Trading gold for shit

How could we have ever known
How could we ask for this
We don't know
The seeds we've sewn
Trading gold for shit

I was standing there
With my head stuck in the sand
Over and over again
I heard commands

I was standing there
With my head stuck in the sand
Over and over again
I hurt my friend

How could we have ever known
How could we ask for this
We don't know
The seeds we've sewn

A change
A change

You can go and create obstacles
You can go out and make it possible
You can on and hide
But you'll never know why

They won't stop you
They won't stop you

A change
A change

You can and pretend it's optional
You can go out and make it possible
You can make yourself think
That they'll never believe

That's not up to you
They won't stop you
They won't stop you

Triads - A Change

Triads - Reflecting (Reprise)

In a dull man's world
Equipped to lose the game
You took me for a whirl
You know you drive me insane

But who knows
Where the time goes
You say that time is pain
You know that's not the same way
I think
I tend to believe
I know that you have your doubts
You know I'll figure it out

"I believe this is the Wyckoff thing
I think that they're trying to excite people"

I'm getting to the core
Through the ocean floor
You know I will explore
The other side of this war

But who knows
Where the time goes?
You say that time is pain
You know that's not the same way
I think
I tend to believe
I know that you have your doubts
You know I'll figure it out
I know that you have your doubts
You know I'll figure it out

Triads - Who Knows?

Triads - Phosphenes

Don't you hurry
It's still early
Let it come to you
Time to tune in
Time to zoom out
These times are never through
Don't think that they don't
Know much about you
They know everything
Resist from trying
Turn off your mind
And get back in the swing

And we'll listen to folks
With the brightest brains
And we'll tell lots of jokes
To make light of things

Time to zoom in
Time to tune out
Forget everything
Thought that we knew dear
Thought we could see clear
Time to think again

And we'll listen to folks
With the brightest brains
And we'll tell lots of jokes
To make light of things

Triads - Testimony

Everybody's waiting for someone
To let themselves out
Everybody's looking for someone
Apart from themselves now

Don't go away
Why you, why you wanna stay
Let yourself out, yourself out, yourself out
Don't go away
Why you, why you wanna stay
Let yourself out, yourself out, yourself out

Tell me why
Are you sentences so incomplete, yeah
Tell me why
Are you sentences so incomplete, yeah
Tell me why
Are you sentences so incomplete, yeah

Atlas Sound cover from their old blog

"my only option was to change my ways
to change the way i see things
my only option was to change the way
i see things way i see things

the days in the wake were
cold and golden
always dripping honey from the
the edges of buildings
blend together
make the weather seem so severe

my only option was to change the way
i see things i feel it
my only fear was a change that happens
when i'm sleeping
leaves me waiting"

Cold & Golden

Ms. Eleanor is such a hoarder
I hope one day that she can afford her therapy
The motorcade is out of gas
They drove on E straight into the past
American as apple pie
It's such a shame you're so camera shy

Get up off my back
I don't need you
I've been losing track
But I need to
I feel so attacked

When hoarders die nobody knows
Until the stinch seeps from the windows

I've been so tied down since they started
It's been so tiresome they departed
No, I don't wanna seep out
Through your windows now
Let me stay locked in
It's good to be here now
I want to stay by now
I want to say somehow
It's good to stay right now

Triads - Camera Shy

You took me out
You took me out
When you knew I would
Without a doubt
It took as long as it could

It's no holiday
It wish I could just leave
In my calendar
My days go by like weeks

Your evidence
Your evidence that's against me
For Heaven's sakes
For Heaven's sakes why won't you leave?

It's no holiday
It wish I would just leave
In my calendar
My days go by like weeks

Why
Won't you leave?
Why
Won't you leave?

Triads - It's No Holiday

Chain Reaction
What's it going to be?
Where it all happened
On the island of Crete

One more time
One more time

You know that I have never seen
A light like that
Reflect off of me
And through a crack

Over my body
Over our bodies

You know that I have never seen
A light like this before
Have you ever seen
A light like this?

I carved a mirror with a stone
Until it was round
I kept it with me
So it was found

In my coat pocket
In a dark closet

You know that I have never seen
A light like this before
Have you ever seen
A light like this?

And when it's dawn, I'll feel the rays
On my hands and onto my face
Say so long to all of those days
Where we tried to find our only escape

You turned it off
You know
You turned it off
You know
I watched you
I watched you
I watched you
I watched you
You turned it off
You know

Chain Reaction
What's it going to be?
Where it all happened

One last time

Triads - A Light Like That

Ghosts in the air
We don't notice their stare
Watch us cover our tracks
While we're caught in the act

I just think they need some warmth
To see us in our natural form
The two to compare

Ghosts in the room
In the shadows, they loom
Such close reach, yet unseen
Hesitate to intervene

I just think they need some time
To settle down and unwind
The two to compare

The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare

I just think they need some time
To settle down and unwind
The two to compare

The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare
The ongoing stare

I've been begging for someone
I've been begging for someone for me

The only pure unevil, unevil and it always will
The only pure unevil, unevil and it always will
The only pure unevil, unevil and it always will
The only pure unevil, unevil and it always will be

You turn towards the surface
me and I

It seems there are the walking corpses, and I'm yellowing
I

Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones

It seems there are the walking corpses, and I'm yellowing
I

Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones
Die two other ones

Pure UnEvil

i woke up in a cold sweat
on the night of the attack

i had no one to blame
but myself
no one else

remind me why
i gave you my time
i shared a dream with you

still no one to blame
but myself
no one else

i remember waking up in a cold sweat
contemplating everything
any thought, any thought at all
i would imagine all at once

reminds me of the time you lost your mind
and i ran away
those were the days
tell me how were those the days?

Were Those The Days?

Artificially nostalgic
By oldies music

I blame it on Happy Days
Those T.V. shows
Giving me 
False imagery
Fabricated memories 
Of things I haven’t said
Places I’ve haven’t been
And people I’ve never met

Artificially nostalgic
By oldies music
That golden oldies music

I blame it on Frankie Valli
The Duprees 
And The Fleetwoods
Singing
That golden oldies music

Artificially nostalgic
By oldies music
Singing
That golden oldies music

A dead thought
It don't leave
It just hides underneath
and repeats within

A dead bird
They don't fly
They just lay where they lie
That's pretty awful to think

It's the worst of the deal
And I know it has to kill
Yes, I know that you spun your wheels
You've had your thrill

It's the known part of the deal
And I know you've had your fill
And I know it has to kill
It has to kill

A dead thought
It don't leave
It just hides underneath
and repeats, repeats, repeats itself within

There's no truth
That's no lie
A dead bird
It can't fly
Repeats, repeats, repeats again

It's the worst of the deal
And I know it has to kill
Yes, I know that you spun your wheels
You've had your thrill

It's the known part of the deal
And I know you've had your fill
And I know it has to kill
It has to kill

It Has to Kill

Look into analogue eyes
Find the things you once despised
Soon you know you will embrace
What was once is now erased 

Shifting your mood you draw closer
Shifting your eyes you go away
Seeing right through you, you're translucent
Will you ever give me space?

Not just the physical occupancy
But the mental grief
Is holding me
Against your walls

Against your walls
I'm being backed up
To your walls
Held against my own will

Will you decide
Before I decide?
Can't question everything
There's simply no time
Can't question everything

Analogue Eyes

Michaelandroid is the frontman for the American Dreampop band Triads from Georgia. Formed in 2008, the band is composed of lead singer and guitarist Michael Andrews (Michaelandroid), bassist Conner Kees, and drummer Cameron Kelly. 
After a decade hiatus, Triads are back with their 2023 album titled "Phosphenes". Still fond of their jangle-pop roots, "Phosphenes" reveals the trio's musical maturity by unapologetically exploring the uncanniness seldom found in pop music. The humming, droning guitar in "Brightly Lit Fog" accompanied with the probing croons from Michaelandroid, examine his consternation towards light and noise pollution. Moreover, the upbeat, whimsical instrumentation of "Reflecting" coupled with shameless dance moves seen in the song's music video, depict the band's credence of recognizing strength in vulnerability. Much like the band's long overdue revival, the themes of "Phosphenes" represent the importance of acknowledging the finite nature life, embracing desires, examining the unknown, and breaking free from analysis paralysis. The 2023 album demonstrates how Triads have grown more comfortable in their skin as artists, musicians, and songwriters. As for the indie-rock trio, this is just the beginning again.
