Album: Dear Science (2008)

  • Congratulations on the mess you made of things
    On trying to reconstruct the air and all that brings
    And oxidation is the compromise you own
    But this is beginning to feel like the dog wants her bones saved

    You force your fire then you falsify your deeds
    Your methods dot the disconnect from all your creeds
    And fortune strives to fill the vacuum that it feeds
    But this is beginning to feel like the dog's lost her lead

    This is beginning to feel like the long
    Winded blues of the never
    This is beginning to feel like it's curling up slowly
    And finding a throat to choke

    This is beginning to feel like the long
    Winded blues of the never
    Barely controlled locomotive consuming the picture
    And blowing the crows, the smoke

    This is beginning to feel like the long
    Winded blues of the never
    Static explosion devoted to crushing the broken
    And shoving their souls to ghost

    Eternalized, objectified
    You set your sights so high
    But this is beginning to feel like
    The bolt busted loose from the lever

    Never you mind
    Death professor
    Your structure's fine
    My dust is better
    Your victim flies so high
    All to catch a bird's eye view of who's next

    Never you mind
    Death professor
    Love is life
    My love is better
    Eyes could be the diamonds
    Confused with who's next

    Never you mind
    Death professor
    Your shocks are fine
    My struts are better
    Your fiction flies so high
    Y'all could use a doctor
    Who's sick, who's next?

    Never you mind
    Death professor
    Electrified, my love is better
    It's crystallized, so am I
    All could be the diamond
    Fused with who's next

    This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever

    This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever

    This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever
    This is beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever Writer/s: Babatunde Omoroga Adebimpe, David Andrew Sitek, David Kyp Joel Malone, Gerard Anthony Smith, Jaleel Bunton

  • TetrisDLZ is demilitarized zone, and the song talks about two leaders in their fields turning the world into their battleground from their respective bases. I've always envisioned it as Nicola Tesla vs Thomas Edison, especially the "Death Professor" and "falsify your deeds" line, as it seems to be a reference to Edison routinely going from city to city electrocuting animals with AC current (invented(?) by N Tesla), and also Edison's tendency to patent the works of other inventors under his own name.
