From the recording Narcoleptic Tides
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>This is an anti-war song.I came up with the title and concept from seeing "my private idaho" the main character has narcolepcy.I thought that would be a good metaphor for how we are controlled by the media and the government into fighting these senseless wars.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>I noticed how I, myself am in a trance-like sleep/apathy.I mean, I see these things happen around me, these poor children dying in war, for rich politicians gain.It's like some sick, real life chess game...and we are the pawns...in this uncontrollable(?)sleep.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>I used the tides metaphor as a way of illustrating how we are more aware at times of this shit, and other times drowned in our lives.<br /></strong></span></p>
Lyrics
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Come, swim with me, in Narcoleptic Tides,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Sink in unconsciousness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Let your eyes force shut, to the television static,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Slowing thoughts, in your Mind</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Tides are flowing, we ebb</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Blue Tube hums on</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Come, swim with me, in Narcoleptic Tides,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Sink in unconsciousness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Let your eyes force shut, to the television static,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Slowing thoughts, in your Mind.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Tides are flowing, we ebb</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Blue Tube hums on.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The lies we are fed.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The bluing flesh of yesterday's reruns,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Festering news to sway the crowd...</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Of subdivided..the undereducated.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">No coincidence armed forced recruit from the ghettos.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The poor die, so the rich can gain,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It's nothing new, just a classist thing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So come, sink with me..</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In ignorance, and apathy.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Sink in propaganda...in tabloids and tv.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Cadaver stroll...to your final meeting.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Ignore that sinking feeling..</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Swallow your pride.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">When they call you to die!<br /></span></p>
