Sequel

I am no sequel
no calculation
tried and tested Eve after Eve
the mould will not fit
colours will not last
the shine will tarnish all that is here

your hands and lips can contain
nothing real in these fragile remains
will you take me away from this place where we are one?

imprint your patterns
on this body
you will find your mechanical me
leave the other one
wrapped in metal
half in shadow - half aching to breathe

your hands and lips can contain
nothing more of these fragile remains
will you take me away from this place where we are one?

still locked
still bound
unseen
oblivion

did you see your reflection in me?
one fragmented in Eve after Eve
did you see your reflection in me?
tracing formulae Eve after Eve after Eve...

what did you see?

still locked
still bound
unseen
oblivion

Hmm. Well, this is the first song I've written for my new album. (New as in not the one I'm about to release, but the next one that I've been planning for a while.)

All parts are sequenced and/or performed by moi, as usual.

I don't think this will appeal to everyone, as it's built in fragments that are very different. It's very moody, switching between characters and styles.

OK, sorry if the mixing is kind of iffy!! i.e. the vocals might be a bit too reverby/quiet and bass too prominent... I'm not even sure atm - I've been working on this since early this morning and it's now midnight so you can imagine my ears are a bit tired right now!

Also, the lyrics may be a bit tricky to decipher.
Basically speaking, it's about a break-up, buuuuut it has a very personal slant that I really don't expect many people will relate to, as I am a pretty strange creature (hah!) so never mind. :) Just accept that this is my best attempt to express how I feel. I'm a bit flustered about everything right now. Grrrr. > ANYWAY.
