Sweat!

Just to tide you over while you wait for my next "real" post to come along I thought I'd share another song from my semi-talented past. Part of it was written by my brother too, although I don't really recall which parts (let's just say it's the parts you don't like). Anyway, this song has a few different levels of complexity to it lyrically. On the surface it's about self-gratification and loneliness; but it's also about searching for meaning and failing to find satisfaction in the physical world. Yeah, I know, wank wank wank, here's Sweat!

Sweat!

When all your emotions rot and fade away

Silence is waiting
but will you still be here to bleed for the next day?

Consistency ended when existence began
We’re downtrodden, outdone

We try to be philosophical but we’re too fucking dumb

It’s the same today

Masturbate around the other way

It’s the same today

Masturbate around the other  way
Sweat!

It itches so bad you scratch and tear at your skin

Silence, hating

And waiting forever for this to begin

We pick and overanalyse but miss the point

Downtrodden, outdone

We try to be deep and meaningful but we’re too fucking dumb

It’s the same today

Masturbate around the other way

It’s the same today

Masturbate around the other  way
And it’s the same old rain

Washing down and around into the drain

Distract yourself

Pretend you aren’t all alone and in pain

Sweat!

We struggle with the spiritual

And blame it on the physical

Distill it ‘til it’s simple

Ashamed to be human

When all we need is our hands

To slip away into nirvana

But I’d give it all away

I’d give it all up

To share it all with you

For you to feel the touch as well

Sweat for me my dear
sweat for me my sweetness

Sweat for me my love

Sweat for me my fallen angel
