“You’ll understand when your older, tradition is a lovely thing."
The way we knock on doors, before filling halls?
How blood speaks every annum,
and we watch same speech again?
Formal attire, pairing rules,
codes upon customs, oh for what shoes?
Ceremonies, proceedings, recollection,
Engagement, birth and graduation.
I care not.
What bird to lay upon silver plate,
between two companies of secret hate?
Somber gloom on days of rest?
Tears of joy on new nest?
Congratulations on no sleep and crying?
Ceremonies, proceedings, recollection.
Endless work, death and single vocation.
I care not.
No picture of me above mantle.
No twisted flower to remember battle.
No shame for unmarried couple.
No need to keep contact with cousins.
Ceremonies, proceedings, recollection
Expectations, too hard to live with/by
I care not.
Subsonic Eye combines math rock, dream pop, and guitar sounds borrowed from post-rock for songs that whirl and flurry, but never quite settle. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 15, 2023
