I caught the real dream
It comes to life when I sleep
Is the bug real? It's infectious!
The truth hurts
Can you feel (it) wakes me up
It’s the same difference
( X2)
Is it real?
It’s going down, watch out!
One day you wake up and you’re old
Slept through life I’m told
Where did time go?
I caught the real dream
It comes to life when I sleep
Is the bug real? It's infectious!
The truth hurts
Can you feel (it) wakes me up
It’s the same difference
(x2)
Is it real?
One day you wake up and you’re old
Slept through life I’m told
Where did time go?

Fifty dollar fine, jaywalking siren
“Go fight the real crime”
(I) Couldn’t speak my mind!
Can’t maximize, no matter what I try
Maybe I’m lazy? Say that I’m shy
(I) Told badges to buzz off the day that you died
Go find the killer, stop wasting my time!
I can’t make a dime, my struggle inside
Stop wasting my time
Stop x2
Stop wasting my time
Stop x2
Stop wasting my time
Stop x8

When we knew you
Time was too brief
Dangerous girl
On your own path
One day we (heard)
Young Love (x3)
You went missing
Out of the Blue
Kidnapped young love
To Vancouver
Planned your rescue
Young Love
When we knew you
Time was too brief
Dangerous girl
On your own path
One day we (heard)
Young Love

“Just accept it!” “It’ll be just fine”
“(I) Can’t live a lie, can’t work nine to five” (x4)
Try to keep me up/stuck
(But) It doesn’t represent us
(Our) Reserve is down
“Girl, just accept it, accept it!”
“You can’t make me!”
The normal has aged
The times have changed
Wake up and run
Technology, set us free!
Don’t need to leave home to make money
Our measure isn’t time
Can’t make me work, can’t live a lie x2
Nine to five x5
Built on an old need
This city was a train
That ran on steam, the workhorse seeded
People to feed, at the right speed
A plan to keep life moving
Ooohs
Don’t leave home to make money
Electricity set me free

Can't Backstab Me Baby

What do you want?
Tell me upfront
Blame the creatives
Blame the state you’re in
Avoiding the literal
Learning the truth
You’re buying your way in
But who’s sending the money?
Generation of TAKE
At my age you’d ache
Qualities we’ve lost
Quality over cost?
Can’t read your mind
Tell me to my face
The past is a picture
Your choice is the paint
Dried up, engrained
Your brush is stained
I’ll always remember the lies and the pain
It’s too late for “stories”
It’s too late for games.
Want it to suit your aims (but)
I see it clearly: you’re so fucking fake!
Can’t backstab me baby
I’ve seen a knife cut a friend
I've seen the real thing
(repeat)
I’ve seen the real thing
You can’t backstab me baby
(repeat)

Keep them alive
Now that I'm striving
Bring them inside
Hang them around
Keep them from drowning
Can I help them thrive?
Or will they die?
Something to take care of
Something to try
Replace the drive
Bring in new life x3
Reaching for light
Reaching inside
Close/open blinds
The sun decides
Have space for their placement
Say something nice when I pass by
Can they hear me?
Something inside
Watch time pass by
I’m trying to know what they need
Know what they need x3
Satisfy to purify
Planting a seed
Rootbound or die
Indirect light
Sunshine's too bright to fertilize
Indirect light
Still wasting time
Planting a lie
Rootbound or die
In direct light
Sunshine's too bright to fertilize (and satisfy)
Repot seed
Avoid the need
(to) Bring in new
Bring in
New Life

What would we talk about?
Send me a copy
Emote the machine
Make it a habit
It’s a routine
Gen Y Baby staring at the screen
When I started I was 19
Indirect x2
Let’s communicate
I’ll share directly with you
Just send it
Put it on paper
A way to mediate distance
Interpret the tone
Text and image
Telephone transmission
Reconstruct the vision
Boomer Baby cruising
It’s so confusing
Just another means of mediating distance
Now we’re connected
Sound and vision
Sound decision
x3
Gen X Baby
What’s the generation?
Telephone transmission
Reconstruct the vision
Baby boomers cruising
It’s so confusing
Now we're connected!
Sound and vision

Have you seen your eyes lately?
They all go
When he locked you in, it was your escape in the bathroom
Let it escalate
They all go
But you went back!
They all go
For the last time, she’s had it!
Is this the role you think she’ll play?
They all go, they all go
AWAY!
You’re busted! They all know she’s too good for you and this time around there’s no way to hide it!
You’re the ball in her court and it’s her mound to step down
You taught her the standard is higher, so THANK YOU!
“DON’T FORGET THESE EYES!”, she said.
“Oh baby, GO!”. Never forget, oh! “Oh, no!”
You’re busted! They all know she’s too good for you and this time around there’s no way to hide. You taught her the standard was higher, so THANK YOU!
Have you seen your eyes lately? He said. Have you seen your eyes lately?
She said: “LOOK AT YOURSELF, you’re a mess! A hot mess! Get the fuck out! Down the stairs. Stay clear. I don’t care. Have you seen your eyes lately?”

I kept coming back to this record over the last month. It just kept being surprising and unraveling itself. I think I got a remnant of Londinium in some aspects, that definitely struck a chord. There's a delicate tension, in the whole album, from flirting with dance beats while never fully going there either. Feelings accumulate but they never get to unleash. You're in between worlds in unstable balance. To me, it is fantastic to have managed to capture such a complex emotion.
