Two Games Joined is a music project inspired by nerdy things. Mostly video games. No genre boundaries included.
MEMBERS: Gnegon - direction, vocals, bass guitar, writing, visual art Flyghtning - programming, production, keys, vocoder Kelen - electric guitar Two Games Joined is a band/project that builds on the foundations of nerdcore, and strives to expand as vastly on them as possible. The main idea is to take inspiration, cues, themes and songs from all things nerdy - video games, comics, cartoons, sci-fi and fantasy altogether, etc. - and try to take it in a direction that both sounds cool and carries a cohesive meaning. Two Games Joined rarely operates on songs alone; rather, ideas are constructed into releases (so far only EPs and singles) as a meaningful whole. As a result, Two Games Joined doesn't really have a genre - it's "post-nerdcore" which is a term we made up and pretty much sums up everything written out in this paragraph. Most often, it's some sort of mixture of rock/metal and electronics.

Story behind the song
I won't lie, this one is so heavily inspired by Nine Inch Nails it could pretty much be a NIN B-side. Then again, it only helps to fit the character this much more. Also, I myself am a Sagittarius. So yeah. Mixed by Luigi Elettrico. We did what we could with the tools, time and communication we had, I believe.
Lyrics
I'm sitting estranged in here Illuminated by the screen While you were never there to begin with I dream about you still I have a way to make you real And as pure and as strong as carved in acrolith See we're all just mechanisms Devoid of altruism What is the difference I'd make And I am burning inside But I force this heat to hide The patient and obedient have it all to take 'Cause I need to control you And I need your control I need to control you Yeah, I need control! Tear me apart, throw me down to the floor Just please abuse me, I hang too loosely Rip out your heart, 'cause I still need some more If you can use me, then I will be whole I hold my breath, I'm in the void I watch you get destroyed Better put yourself where you belong So as the sweat drips on my skin I look for a way in The clock is ticking, our time is not long But you know, I'm so frustrated How I'm stuck and how evaded Rejected and tainted to bone My only friend, she calms me down But how long I can go now Imagine what I could be truly left alone 'Cause I need to control you And I need your control I need to control you Yeah, I need control! Tear me apart, throw me down to the floor Just please abuse me, I hang too loosely Rip out your heart, 'cause I still need some more If you can use me, then I will be whole I need to control you I need your control I need to control you I need your control Despite my hateful desire This bow will not fire When I'm down on my knees You may do as you please Exquisite Delectable Depravity
