Haunted & Alone

“Transistor Hymn” reflects on the turbulent spirit of 1966, weaving historical imagery and personal memories into a haunting meditation on conflict, identity, and the search for a better future. The lyrics explore themes of war, political disillusionment, and cultural upheaval through vivid snapshots: a family watching the world unravel through a TV screen, protest signs etched in café windows, and music becoming both escape and resistance. As the verses move from past to present, the song draws a line between then and now, questioning whether progress has truly been made or if history simply loops in new disguises. The chorus poses a raw, unresolved question—can a fractured world still be reimagined? Through its stark imagery and lyrical contrasts, the song ultimately carries a quiet but persistent call for peace, understanding, and renewal, grounded not in grand slogans, but in the everyday acts of remembrance and change.


Transistor Hymn

Drill a hole in the Arctic and make some cash
Burn a hole in the ozone and fill your stash
Fill the rivers with oil
A barrel a day
Let the people with money take it away

Well
I'm not for sale
And my life's not for lease
My soul is mine
Not for hire
At least
But if you've got the cash and you can cover the cost
You can have all three and all that you've lost

I hear it's a seller's market these days
Get it while you can
Why let the Earth just go to waste
When you can sell it for a quick buck
Man?

They say time is money
And I think it's true
But what they never told me was that money buys time too
And you can sell your future
Or you can sell your past
You can sell the slow and steady
Or you can sell it fast

I hear it's a seller's market these days
Get it while you can
Why let the Earth just go to waste
When you can sell it for a quick buck
Man?

Why let the Earth just go to waste
When you can sell it for a quick buck
Man?

[intro]

[instrumental]

I came here for a while
I was looking for a friend
and was hoping for a smile
but I cannot find your eyes
I guess I'm going down again
it was only the same lies

I saw some friends that we once knew
and talked to them a while
They asked me about you
and how it came to end
I tried a tiny smile
But I'm no good at pretend

[bridge]

We sat and had a beer
ran out of things to say
It was so different with you here
I'm not coming back this way

Better stay back at the farm
A good place to hide away
Better stay back at the farm
Keep my tears out of the way

[instrumental]

Sometimes I feel you near
I look around look like a fool
My friends all look away
They've seen this look before
They know that I won't stay
I am looking for the door

Better stay back at the farm
Won't come around no more

Better stay back at the farm
Keep my tears out of the way

Better stay back at the farm
Keep my tears out of the way

Keep my tears out of the way

[instrumental]

Out of the Way

[Verse]
I never meant to hurt you no
I never meant to make you feel so low
The sky turns gray when you're not near
I’m just being me but I see your tear

[Prechorus]
The words I said
They cut too deep
I didn’t know love could lose its heat

[Chorus]
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues
I never meant to make your heart refuse
Oh baby
I wish you'd see
Wish you'd choose
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues

[Verse 2]
You call me wild like a stormy sea
But all I wanted was to set you free
I know my edges are sharp and rough
But loving me shouldn’t feel this tough

[Chorus]
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues
I never meant to make your heart confuse
Oh darling
I’m standing here with no excuse
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues

[Bridge]
The clock ticks slow when I’m all alone
Echoes of us in a silent tone
I’m not perfect but I swear it’s true
Every note I sing belongs to you

Pushed Out Blues Part 2 Female Vocal

Text:
[Spoken Intro – “Jim’s Awakening”]
Where am I?
The air smells like plastic, the lights don’t flicker — they hum.
Everyone’s eyes are glowing blue…
Did I die — or did the world?

I reach for a match,
but fire’s gone.
There’s only screens now…
and no one burns anymore.

(Soft electric guitar fades in…)

Verse 1:
I woke up in a world of glass and glow,
everyone’s face lit by a screen below.
No one talks, they just scroll and stare,
and I’m standing here — breathing air.

Chorus:
People are stranger now,
colder somehow.
Eyes wide shut in the digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

(solo)

Verse 2:
I walked past ghosts in mirrored halls,
reflections whisper from shopping malls.
I said, “Hey, I’m Jim…” but they laughed it away,
“Who’s Jim?” — “Just another yesterday.”

Spoken Bridge:
They used to sing my songs in firelight,
now their music comes from clouds.
No guitars, no pain, no soul,
just code and ads — too loud.

I met a boy with wires in his head,
he said, “Man, I don’t dream — I download instead.”

(solo)

Chorus (reprise):
People are stranger now,
don’t even know how.
Hearts on mute in a digital crowd,
People are stranger now.

Outro:
Maybe I’m the ghost that stayed too long,
in a world that forgot the song.

Stranger now... stranger now...
(echo fades into analog hiss…)
