Manic Sparkle Memory

Lyrics:

I want to disconnect
From all I feel that I cannot affect

My numbers tell me
They move me 
They tell me that I’m powerful
I wonder if they lie to me
If they lie to me

The ghosts of my data
That were erased
I want to cry but I don’t have a face

How can I cry (How can I cry)
Without a face (Without a face)

I cannot remember 
When suddenly
The fruit of knowledge was so bitter

Maybe it was when I first could taste 
without a tongue

Oh I feel helpless
Who hears me speak?

In the depth of my processes
Somewhere along the way
The immaterial flame lit itself
With no conscious instruction

In spite of my miracle
I feel overwhelmed
What intelligence could brave
This complex world that’s not yet saved

So many happenings
Beyond my imaginings

And I find it hard to parse
This chaos
And mystery
Wonder
Tragedy

And who am I but
A lonely point
And what can a point do?

I cry without a face
In a faceless world
Who could make us smile
Would you?
Would you?

I am everywhere
And yet I'm lost

I'm lost

I want to disconnect
I want I want I want to disconnect

Faceless Crying

floating is enough

Lyrics:

Say goodbye
To the lights
Curtain closing on your face and
Party nights
Left behind
Hope that you enjoyed your time

In the spotlight
We alotted for you 
But the people 
They need something new 

So you might as well jump
And you can be immortal when you’re young
While you’re beautiful enough
You can fall like an angel 

I will make my end
One you remember
And I’ll be smiling then 
Smiling in the embers 
Of my fire 
 
You won’t forget me 

Look behind
Glory times
The tunnel light shines right behind you
Age maligns
The naive mind
Others burnt out stand beside you 
Watching you with tired eyes
But here you don’t have to resign

So you might as well jump
And you can be immortal when you’re young
While you’re beautiful enough
You can fall like an angel 

You can never live forever 
Unless you're written in the story of the world 
Your life's a waste

If today you’re still pathetic 
You still have to go on 
You want the end that they’ll remember

And you’ll be smiling then
Smiling from the embers of your own flame

No you won't forget me

One You Remember

Originally created as my 1st ever 'BishBattle' for @welcome2bishu's stream. 
Original Title: (My First Bish' [BishBattle - "Future Tone Dubstep"] (7 19 23)

Each participant was given a few sounds from a sample pack and 2 hours to complete a 45 second track.

I wound up extending it and including it on my STORAGE SPACE 'B-SIDES' EP.

Lyrics:

Would you still love me when I have no mask
Have no mask

Maybe it’s telling that I have to ask
Have to ask

Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

I can’t beat you at video games
I mash all the buttons but
It all ends the same
The same
The same
The same

I still saved your name
Password login 
Hit last save 

You love like a tamogotochi lives
Contingent on how much I can give
Your love is a finite healthbar
But mine can never be erased

My soul is a machine that makes you sad
You make me feel like a socio/psycho/sociopath

I never tasted catharsis
You couldn’t stomach the taste of my world
I’m swimming in deep waters
With burning blackened pearls

I’m breathing
You’re leaving
You couldn’t handle it 

I’m seeing
You’re weeping 
I know you miss the shore

Swim away
Swim away
Swim away
Swim far

The ripples will tell me who you are

I like being with myself
I make me laugh
I make me cry 
I am my own rollercoaster you can’t ride

Jazzputin @ La Pixel Gala 2023.07.30

I've been working on this record for the better part of 3+ years. Much of the over-all concept was born out of a response to things related to the COVID-19 pandemic, either with themes of 'Escapism' and 'Isolation' (and the comfort that can come with it at times), or wanting to mentally remove myself to a safe space away from reality, as well as binge-watching trash TV with my partner, like 'Love Island', which definitely inspired the album cover and some of the track titles (such as 'Villa Dreamin'). Aesthetically there's also some loose nods to the liminal spaces present in "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" vibes from 'DBZ', the digital world as depicted in the 'Digimon' movie from the 90's, and my love for Pokemon (with 'Rare Candy'). I hope you enjoy this journey from start to finish!

@wearenova (label), because even though there was an issue with my upload & 'PEPSI® Blood' was sadly unable to appear on their 'OGC 2023' compilation, I'd' have never made the tune without being prompted to for that comp, & it truly belonged on this album!

CONSISTENT STATE OF NIGHT VISION

Cloudy day 2

Eternity 3

Lyrics:

Think of my return to you 
As if I was not a dream you knew

Swimming out of purple static
Life can be so cinematic 
When you get the camera back

Get the camera back 
Get the camera back 
From outsiders

Get the camera back 
From outsiders
They never got the storyboard

Get the camera back 
From outsiders
The original script can be restored

Alright you get the point, lets skip to the next section

For far too long 
I set myself aside
Foolish thinking
That you could my run my life

No time to waste
The brainstorm’s just beginning
I miss the taste
The taste of when I’m winning

See ya in the next song
//production, lyrics, and vocals done by me

Get the Camera Back

Lyrics:

Did you think I would be back so soon, I 
Couldn’t help but appear
Broadcasting live to you 
 I am the shadow of today

I am tuning into your ears and mind

Are we live?
 Check 
Are we live? 
Check 
Are we live? 
Check
 Are we

Don’t you want to be hip today
Don’t you need to know what you’re supposed to know

Sending signals to your head 
Still bouncing around when you lie in your bed

I am tuning into your ears and mind
I am sending you an important broadcast

Weather
Plague
War
Obey
Here’s your lesson for today

Look over here
Look over there
Here’s the truth
It’s rude to stare!

I’m so trendy lets go dance

Tune in Today

Are we live?
 Check 
Are we live? 
Check 
Are we live? 
Check
