Creative Overload
Cold screen Blue light Another new idea at 2:05 Same room Same chair Same song running through the wires Everybody sending links in the middle of the night now “Listen to this one” “Try this synth” “Change the kick sound” One more export One more version One more little modification I was gonna sleep three hours ago Now I’m adjusting automation Hands on the table keeping rhythm unconsciously Loop so good that it starts talking back to me I don’t even care if anybody notices I like the process I like the process Open another tab Open another file Brainstorm running like a dog inside the house Same four bars for nearly forty minutes straight Then suddenly the chorus starts breathing somehow And I know I know Too much of anything can kill the feeling Don’t lose the feeling oh oh oh Don’t lose the feeling oh oh oh If I stop Does it disappear? If I stop Does it disappear? Paolo said he needed silence for a couple weeks Too many songs disappearing in the feed Raul laughed and turned the whole thing to a joke But I still heard the truth underneath Why we doing this? Why we doing this? Maybe just to feel the current in our fingertips Maybe just to hear a strange new sound appear Like something opening somewhere in the distance Coffee going cold again beside the speakers Jaw tight Eyes red Still moving through the meters Everybody chasing something they can’t really name But when the right line hits Nothing feels the same And I know I know Too much of anything can kill the feeling Don’t lose the feeling oh oh oh Don’t lose the feeling oh oh oh If I stop Does it disappear? If I stop Does it disappear? One more version One more late night One more strange idea Turning in the blue light One more version One more small change One more little detail Till the whole room shakes Same heartbeat New sound Same body breaking down Same spark New skin Let the whole machine spin I said Same heartbeat New sound Same body breaking down Don’t lose the feeling oh oh oh Don’t lose the feeling oh oh oh Still awake Still listening Still chasing something moving underneath If I stop Does it disappear? If I stop Does it disappear? Don’t lose the feeling Don’t lose the feeling Don’t lose the feeling oh oh oh One more version One more version One more version
