Story behind the song
In the intial week of recording the EP, 'The City' was born and old rhymes were combined with new and new styles were also created. The bass that came out of the guitar was most rightious. Fits into that organic idea of this first instalment of these "Mike Zen" mini-albums.
Lyrics
History and myth
makes it some slavery over freedom.
Oceans and new abyss..
pressing on and getting there
but randomly ending where
we start again or move on.
It's Zen,
see around and through it.
And it's just back to back mirrors and mirrors.
It's just one or two illusions.
We finish again,
but why is there tomorrow?
The same reson there's sorrow.
There's a chance you might not ever have more
after today.
Why say a thing? Why do the birds sing?
And when they don't why am I scared?
I get comfort from silence but that's sacrificed in the city.
In the city... In the city...
I've been inspired, but depressed I repress and undress and strip down.
There's no such thing as patients in this Goddamn town.
I've gotta move sound to gain pounds,
but that helps me get around.
I feel I'm coming back again.
A certain revolution sits on up on the horizon.
