Dissociation

5. SHALLOW - DEEP

We go about our daily lives without giving it much thought. In the morning, we wake up to the alarm on our smartphones, turn on the tap, wash our faces with the water that comes out, and brush our teeth. We eat breakfast heated in the microwave, oven, or on the stove, and then we take the train or drive to work or school.

If we don't pay attention, the day goes by without us feeling anything special. But this is not the norm. We are just standing on top of the layers of history that our predecessors have gradually accumulated through their wisdom and effort. And we are only part of the layer that the next generation and the generation after that will stand on.

This work imitates the accumulation of such invisible history in sound. The sounds don't build up, just five mundane five-minute drones, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that they change little by little. I believe that to observe this is to see the invisible history and to get to the essence of things.

Transition 5-2

Whenever my head starts to hurt
I always do things that make it worse
And then I complain
That my head is in this pain

No I don't believe in ibuprofen 
You don't think it's a placebo? You must be joking
If this is concerning that's alright
If I run I'll catch the train in time

I laugh when people slip on ice
unless they're old or you don't think that it's nice
in which case I don't laugh at all
I run and jump to break their fall

So you can see me as your hero 
And you can tell all your friends that you met a hero 
So if you'd like to leave I understand 
But if you take a chance I'll take your hand 

I always like to feed the squirrels 
even though they're taking over the world
I'd like to see a squirrel be king
decked out in gold and diamond rings

So we can finally 
return to our elemental biology 
And if this is alarming that's alright
There was something in my drink tonight 

I brush my teeth with gasoline
the real good stuff E15
helps to keep them nice and clean

So I can always run under the gum 
And I can talk myself up into being someone 
So if you'd like to leave I understand 
But if you take a chance I'll take your hand
