when the world's got you down
rainy sunday sunny town
tropicana canned food
botulism damaged goods
see the hipsters in the park
hair so styled clothes so dark
prefab molded hamburgers
i don't want a bite of yours
these burgers are crazy
they don't like you never will
they slip you the happy pill
assimilation so they think
send you to the naughty shrink
you just tell them lies lies
paranoia bugs and flies
you don't like them never did
you don't like them never did
The five songs on this record take two main forms. “Meditation”, the title track, and “The Sorrow of Guernica” draw heavily from done and mix in quiet, jazzy textures like marimba, trumpet, and light percussion. “Slow Cascade of Tears” and “Heatstroke Mirage” draw more explicitly from progressive rock and zeuhl.
