The Door to the Keeper (Original Version)
Zirconium Mechanism; The Door to the Keeper:written 9th-11th October 1987.
Something a bit different
Zirconium Mechanism 1982-1992
A decade of self development. I start with a cheap electric guitar a practice amp and 2 tape decks (not reel to reel), and as I earn money after just leaving school,I plough most of it into new and second hand gear.So the sound canvas increases as the years go on.
Because I had no multi track the 1st few albums have different tracks on the left and right channels,this changes when I get a tascam 244 (4 track),the first stereo album is Satellite's depth.
Story behind the song
Near to death...carry on or come back ?
Lyrics
1, Take your share that's why you're here,
Through the door,but don't come too near.
You tell them yarns,and tell them lies, You're the person, they most despise,
I can see right through you're act,
With the Devil you made a pact,
Was it worth it?I ask you,
For the right to do what they do,
Cleanse your body and your soul,
Use the power,but don't take it all,
Fling the door wide, go on through,
But be careful - he's watching you,
Sonic truths and cardboard eyes,
Lead patterns,and some dead flies,
Glass topped tins,with silver wings,
Mashed potato,with lots of stings,
You must tell him,we want to leave,
He's confusing us when we breathe.
Let us go,we're trapped in confusion,
is this happening?such a strange illusion.
2,Wasted thoughts- of thinking man,
A concerto for a floating can,
False vision force,of static Hell,
Plastic wood - on a false bell,
Coated pines,and desk top games,
Yellow paws,with wasted names,
Good cats ears that lead the way,
May try to save us,from this day,
Can we get out?it's getting steeper,
For we have opened The Door to the Keeper.
