INAUDIBLE MELODIES LYRICS
- Play Intro -
- Play Fill -
Brushfire fairytales - Play Verse 1 - Through this
Itsy bitsy diamond wells |
Big fat hurricanes |
Yellow bellied given names |
Well shortcuts can slow you down |
And in the end we're bound |
To rebound off of we |
Well dust off your thinking caps - Play Verse 2 - Through this
Solar powered plastic plants |
Pretty pictures of things we ate |
We are only what we hate |
But in the long run we have found |
Silent films are full of sound |
Inaudibly free |
Slow down everyone - Play Chorus - Through this
You're moving too fast |
Frames can't catch you when |
You're moving like that |
Inaudible melodies - Play Bridge - Through this
Serve narrational strategies |
Unobtrusive tones |
Help to notice nothing but the zone |
Of visual relevancy |
Frame-lines tell me what to see |
Chopping like an axe |
Or maybe Eisenstein should just relax |
Slow down everyone - Play Chorus - Though this
You're moving too fast |
Frames can't catch you when |
You're moving like that |
- Play Solo -
Well Plato's cave is full of freaks - Play Interlude - Through this
Demanding refunds for the things they've seen |
I wish they could believe |
In all the things that never made the screen |
And just slow down everyone - Play Chorus 2X - Through this
You're moving too fast |
Frames can't catch you when |
You're moving like that | Slow down everyone |
You're moving too fast |
Frames can't catch you when |
You're moving like that |
Moving Too.... |
- Play Outro - (intro)
- Finish On F# Chord
