5 – Auditory Dérive

someday i will be reborn, someday i will be reborn
and the earth spins faster at its core, and the ground and sky each moving slower
a blind watchmaker’s semaphore

and someday i will be reborn, and someday i will be reborn
and the world is beautiful because it dies, or such is the design of human eyes
and sure as each ice age melts and dries

someday i will be reborn…

Burial — Beachfires (Subtemple / Beachfires, 2017)

yeah, the night’s not over, you’re not trying hard enough
our lives are changing lanes, you ran me off the road

The Strokes — Reptilia (Room on Fire, 2004)

glitter on the west streets, silver over everything
the river’s all wet, you’re all chrome

Yeah Yeah Yeahs — Heads Will Roll (It’s Blitz!, 2009)

well he’s a friend and we’re so proud of you
your famous friend, well i blew him before ya, oh yeah!

Franz Ferdinand — Do You Want To (You Could Have It So Much Better, 2005)

never you mind, death professor
your structure’s fine, my dust is better
your victim flies so high
all to catch a bird’s eye view of who’s next

TV on the Radio — DLZ (Dear Science, 2008)

wanna pack your bags, something small
take what you need and we disappear
without a trace, we’ll be gone, gone
the moon and the stars can follow the car
