about

The thing about this song that cracks me up is how I thought I was in an OK place when I wrote it. Listening to it back - and especially reading the lyrics - it's painfully obvious I was unhappy. No person in the throes of joy writes lyrics like these lol.

One day at the supermarket I took a wrong turn. As a vegetarian, there's not really any reason for me to wind up in the butchery aisle but due to my lacking navigation skills I found myself standing in a corridor of blood and polystyrene..

There was just something about seeing all those shrinkwrapped packages of flesh that got me ruminating on the worth of my own life. I started thinking about where I was at the time: stressed, isolated, in an unhappy relationship, confused about what the rest of my life was going to look like. I felt freakish and alien placing boxes of cereal and tinned tomatoes into the trolley as I navigated the Hellscape of Royal Oak Pak N Save. Like, how the hell did we get here? What are we doing to eachother, to animals, to our planet? I know it sounds silly and I'm ranting like a washed up xEarthCrisisx fan or something but my brain melted and I fell to pieces.

Big shoutout to any other ADHD/ASD people that hate the sensory overload of grocery stores. I feel you <3

lyrics

Corridors of Carparks that lead to the grave
Through the butchery aisle of Pak N Save
Eating from boxes I feed my face
But I never feel full
Cut out the sad parts I sleep in the day
Smoke on the driveway cut grooves as I pace
Forever in circles, a machine in decay
I just don't know what's broken

And I thought that I'd feel something better
At least I thought that I'd feel something at all.
