about

The rhythm section was generated by our breaking down washing machine, a symbol for the disturbance of natural cycles by human activities. Will we ever be able to get things clean again?

lyrics

In the tank
there was a long silver fish
swimming back and forth
in a lazy way
touching the glass with its fins

a silver arowana
over fifty years old.

in the future
I will cut out half my lung
and fill it with machinery
and I will go down, down, down
to the bottom of the sea

I will have a shell
and the water will not crush me
and I will move back and forth
like the silver arowana

I will see in the dark
these creatures
who have never seen the light
of day

their light is the light
from the ground
the cracks in the earth
glow red.

my second life
will be in a place
where others who survive with me
survive for a reason
they survive
because they know how to
because they’ve been forced to
from an early age
so young
so much suffering
it makes you ready.
