Lots of the early pandemic for me was getting stoned, feeling good at first, but then entering this k-hole of bad vibes by thinking too much about “what’s going on” (usually provoked by flipping through my apps for too long). I’d end up feeling guilty and a little stupid, but then calmed by the decision of have a treat, like a nice glass of wine or putting on a chill record. So this song tries to illustrate that cycle.
I also obviously had just seen Videodrome for the first time.

Lyrics:
Peaceful, so comfortable
In a cool blue dream again
Headlines pushing through
Alert the latest news
So au courant
Shook up and uncomfortable
Pulled from between again
Headlines pushing through
Alert the latest news
Too au courant
Is this denouement?
All day
Unbroken
Calamitous views
Futures stolen
In gray
Disarray
Nothing but woes today
Then I see it
It’s all gonna come down
Feels bad to be so
Optional
Close my phone
Ease my mind
Find my om
Drink some wine
Clear my thoughts
In sea brine
Leave that dread behind
Peaceful, so comfortable
Quiet off loud again
Headlines pushing through
Alert the latest news
So au courant
Shook up and uncomfortable
Fighting my doubt again
Headlines pushing through
Alert the latest news
Too au courant
It’s like denouement
Hard to
Look away
Long live the new flesh
Refresh, replay
It takes a toll on you
That’s just your point of view
Then I see it
It’s all gonna come down
Put up my guard but I
Can’t unsee it
It’s all gonna come down
Maybe I can’t go back to
Optional
Close my phone
Ease my mind
Find my om
Drink some wine
Clear my thoughts
In sea brine
Leave that dread behind
