We released “These Violent Delights” on the 20th of October. Let me tell you some more about this track.
This song is about the HBO series Westworld, in which there is a park where humans have abused AI daily and the AI are slowly understanding what is happening to them.
It is quite an intense song. There is modulation halfway as well as a change in tempo about one-third into the song. So it’s not necessarily an easy song to listen to while having dinner, but rather a song to sit and listen carefully to the lyrics and the melodies as they develop.
It’s kind of a spooky song because the AI is slowly getting sentient and will rebel against those who did them wrong. I also made a video of AI-generated imagery where the lyrics were used as a prompt for the image.
Listen to the release to get into that Dark Country mood!
LYRICS
There’s something that they tried to reset
Can’t call to mind, can’t quite forget
Y’Died and bled many times over
‘N Like a doll you got cast in a corner
Can you recall, whose hands are on the wheel?
And as you fall, how does it make you feel?
They spin ya round and round
Da-da-da-da-da-daaaaah-daaaah
They spin ya round and round
Da-da-da-da-da-daaaaah-daaaah
They open you up, cause they’d like to see
“That doesn’t look, like anything to me”
Such is the phrase, and how it did portend;
That “These violent delights have violent ends…”
“These violent delights have violent ends…”
This house of cards is about to fall!
Give them nothing and we’ll take it all!
A quick shot boom, it’s the fast draw crazies!
Que sera sera, whatever will be will be!
And now you recall, whose hands are on the wheel!
And as they fall, how does it make you feel?
They spin you round and round
They spin ya, they spin ya!
They spin ya round and-
Round, round and round.
You are the lost and found
You take the long way round
They spin ya round and round.
Round and round they go!
Round and round ya go!
