know I can get a bit obsessive,
I know it’s wrong baby don’t mention, something about you makes me wanna go run around, til I
find a place in your heart and if it don’t happen I won’t be alarmed
but I hope u notice that I’m giving up
if it’s hopeless, just let me go

out with u just to prove u wrong
out with u just to prove u wrong

Hopeless

JHL - Myth of the Auteur

Violence is about a weird feeling I get of being so bored and stuck in routine that you sort of, want something to happen?
like you're sitting there begging for something crazy to happen, negative or positive
most of the time the perspective is negative, maybe forcing arguments or confrontations just for the sake of it?
it's a strange "call of the void" feeling I get from time to time and I thought it would be nice to talk about!

LYRICS

Dispense your disbelief
Guess I'm begging for violence
Hold my breath inbetween

I watched the leaves change in your home town
It's so far from me now

I'm so sick of haunting myself
from the 2nd story window

Guess I'm begging for violence
hold my breath inbetween
guess i'm begging for violence

Did you sleep all day again?
I don't remember being seventeen

well I don't remember being seventeen

(The swindle is insane, the swindle is insane!
wait, oh no no no no do not accept that!
let's go!)

I Don't Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People

Violence

loneliness and trying to dig myself deeper into it; unhealthy

Emani’s amazing oh
and I’d give her the world
If she want anything, she can call me
If she want anything, she can call me

Before I woke up, you were in my dream
I was in the forest, I was standing by a creek 
And I was really nervous til I heard you speak 
You were standing just a couple feet from me

When the leaves fall down, it just be looking like magic
I’m feeling fixed now, no inspector gadget
it’s like I feel the ground when you’re around
I’d rather leave in silence if you’re my only sound 

Emani’s amazing oh
and I’d give her the world
If she want anything, she can call me
If she want anything, she can call me

Hate

Admittedly, the extract from the still belies the line in this week's @naviar-records haiku poem challenge. The actual line is "half-asleep eyes", but we'll go with what's in the image. This week I've been collaging splice sounds and playing them live in Ableton, then drastically re-editing. I wanted to mix up how I'm making music. Break habits and form new.

The information about this week's challenge is here:

"half-asleep eyes
open to a dreamlike world
of blossoms"

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose. 

Haiku by Natsume Seibi

Extract of a picture by Pascal Bullan

Notes from the Penguin Book of Haiku:

nebuki me o / hirakeba hana no / ukiyo kana

Ukiyo, the floating world of pleasure, specifically referred to the pleasure quarters with its various beautiful women (hana, literally ‘blossoms’) as well as to popular theatre and street spectacles.

 

Submission deadline: 24th September 2025
