about

The song reflects on the transformative aspects of being. It might be easy to change, but growth is complex and depends on what our surroundings and contexts allow us to see as possible event horizons. ”I believe that the revolutions of my time have been changes not of government or of the personnel of public institutions, but revolutions of feelings and seeing” writes Susan Sontag. The true conditions of possibility will remain unrecognised unless we look to those that are neglected by societal structures, the citizens of the kingdom of outcasts. This is the thematic foundation of the song.

Despite the general feeling that we might – to flip the chinese proverb – not be living in interesting times, I see it as having the potential to bring real transformation for futures unsprung... as long as we topple statues and continue to question those that still stand.

lyrics

------------------------------------

i really mean it this time
a fist is lodged in my throat
been meaning to force out
tug the line

there's a fish inside
that shines silver in light
we wallow in it
to get by

what can be done
to a spook that affects us all
a strain
a hold
a past

grey butterflies echo
from a future unsprung
for new makings
of us
