The climax of the album. "Roar" by Katy Perry always annoyed me because it reminds me of "Eye of the Tiger" but refuses to actually be "Eye of the Tiger", so mashing them up was cathartic for me. Also the lyrics are much better now that they're recontextualized to be about rejecting capitalism instead of something generic. It's not all positive though. Earl Sweatshirt and C418 make things feel a little melancholy, too.
lyrics
Yeah, I know I'm a king (Nothing new)
Stock on my shoulder, I was sinkin' (Nothing new)
I ain't know that I could leave (Nothing new, nothing new)
Papa called me chief (Little less)
Gotta keep it brief (Little less)
Locked and load, I can see you lyin' through your teeth (Little less, little less)
Fingers on my soul, this is 23 (Nothing new, nothing new)
Blood in the water, I was walkin' in my sleep (Nothing new, nothing new)
Blood on my father, I forgot another dream (Little less, little less)
I was playin' with the magic, hide blessings in my sleeve (Little less, little less)
Yeah, I know I'm a king, stock on my shoulder, I was sinkin' (Walk away, walk away)
I ain't know that I could leave (Walk away, walk away)
Papa called me chief (Nobody cares)
Gotta keep it brief (Nobody cares)
Locked and load, I can see you lyin' through your teeth (Nobody cares, nobody cares)
Fingers on my soul, this is 23 (Walk away, walk away)
Blood in the water, I was walkin' in my sleep (Walk away, walk away)
Blood on my father, I forgot another dream (Nobody cares, nobody cares)
I was playin' with the magic, hide blessings in my sleeve (Nobody cares, nobody cares)
Yeah, I know I'm a king, stock on my shoulder, I was sinkin' (I don’t care, I don’t care)
I ain't know that I could leave (I don’t care, I don’t care)
Papa called me chief (We don’t care)
Gotta keep it brief (We don’t care)
Locked and load, I can see you lyin' through your teeth (We don’t care, we don’t care)
Fingers on my soul, this is 23 (I don’t care, I don’t care)
Blood in the water, I was walkin' in my sleep (I don’t care, I don’t care)
Blood on my father, I forgot another dream (We don’t care, we don’t care)
I was playin' with the magic, hide blessings in my sleeve (We don’t care, we don’t care)
Yeah, I know I'm a king, stock on my shoulder, I was sinkin' (I asked you, I asked you)
I ain't know that I could leave (I asked you, I asked you)
Papa called me chief (Life is sad)
Gotta keep it brief (Life is sad)
Locked and load, I can see you lyin' through your teeth (Life is sad, life is sad)
Fingers on my soul, this is 23 (I asked you, I asked you)
Blood in the water, I was walkin' in my sleep (I asked you, I asked you)
Blood on my father, I forgot another dream (Life is sad, life is sad)
I was playin' with the magic, hide blessings in my sleeve (Life is sad, life is sad)
Fear is the mindkiller
Fuck the police! Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck the police! Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck the police! Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck the police! Example, scene one.
Capitalism stole
Capitalism stole
Capitalism stole
My virginity
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for not a thing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready cause I had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter (The eye of the tiger)
Dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar (The eye of the tiger)
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar (The eye of the tiger)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar (The eye of the tiger)
(The eye of the tiger)
Life is a historical illusion (Bangarang!)
Life is a hysterical delusion (Bangarang!)
Life is a historical illusion (Bangarang!)
Life is a hysterical delusion (Bangarang!)
Life is a historical illusion (Bangarang!)
Life is a hysterical delusion (Bangarang!)
Life is a historical illusion (Bangarang!)
Life is a hysterical delusion (Bangarang!)
How do you feel?
Life is sad, life is sad, life is sad, life is sad, life is sad, life is sad, life is sad, life is sad, life is sad, life is sad
rly dense, interesting mashup album. goes far beyond "acapella and instrumental" and into some rly accomplished and exciting plunderphonics Allison Fleischer
gorgeous lofi ambient pop album. has a lot of surprises and refuses to really show its hand at first. deeply personal and affected me in ways i cant rly describe Allison Fleischer
Another stunning ensemble from Fievel Is Glauque’s Zach Phillips, these two dozen songs showcase his inimitable songwriting style. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 9, 2023
Giddy music that could easily score a playful Nintendo game, these are bright, chirpy melodies designed to bring a smile. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 3, 2023
