I'm so stoked! my new band "fires in japan" is recording soon with our dear friend erik ladendorf. I think I might shit myself. If anyone wants a copy, leave me a comment. I think you guys'll like it. We're also in the making of another album for the fall possibly called "repair" which is about a robot with a human heart. Think about it. The story goes a woman has a robot, not a pleasure bot, but a robot. The robot's name is "Repo". He's just a companion, AI robot. The woman really cares for repo, but in the way that someone loves their pet and nothing more. Repo starts to fully understand the concepts of love and touch through this woman and then starts thinking a little outside of the regular robot box. He thinks about her almost as if he were in love, but he takes it as an error in his systems. One night, repo sees his master come home and she begins to cry and lies in bed and sleeps. She sleeps for days and doesn't say anything and repo, not too understanding to the concept of the human sleep pattern, doesn't wake her up because he likes watching her sleep and wishes he could lie with her and hold her close. Unfortunately, repo is connected to a wall because he has no outside energy source, so he's stuck and can't do anything. he wakes up in the middle of the night one night to the sound of a loud thumping. It drives him mad because whenever he turns on, the thumping continues, and the woman's still in bed and he doesn't want to wake her up so he shuts down. This continues for days, then one day, the thumping ensues, and he decides to unplug himself from the wall, with little time he has, goes to the kitchen, finds a can opener and opens up his torso to find a beating human heart with circuitry connected to it. He has a syntax error and passes out. This is the reprise to the song on the next album I want to do which spawns the album's title "repair".
Repo's Lament
a thousand mile drive
a swim across the ocean
wake up to the shades closed
I want to kick this sense of shock
but I'm just happy to be away from the wall
so I can tell you
I know i'm missing pieces
my parts are all worn down
licking my wounds but it just left a copper taste
I can finally hold you in my arms and say...
my mind's been telling secrets
to the rest of my body
I think I know what they're saying
I've got to slow down
or i swear I'll explode
but I'd just be glad to give you a light show
your eyes don't open
cold hands don't cause a stir
crimson paints the floor and I don't understand
why you have a hole in your chest
you gave me your heart...your hearts still beating
jingling of remaining pieces
and a heart to keep me alive
a peaceful rested look upon your face
a note clenched in your hand
"please hear in my silence and space between my words
my earnestness and truth when I say that
I love you. No matter what, you'll always have a part of me"
I can't thank you enough
I needed to be repaired...
so I'll tell all who care when that's going to be coming up. kthnx.
