Lyrics
Video 8
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm analogue, an empty cassette shell,
My spinning spools, are feeding your eyes,
I'm attic bound, an empty cassette shell.
I make a sound with mono connection,
The needle's down on the groove in your eyes.
You'll now accept the rules, accept the rejection.
An understanding that we were certain of,
There's a tasteless relief about escape.
I know you can develop if you take the chance,
To feel nothing... i feel nothing.
Video 8, i wonder if our luck will ever change?
God knows we need a change!
I'm broadcast on a thinning signal,
A sunken mast of telegraph wires.
So i reject the rules, coz i've had a skin-full.
A test card, a symbol of nothing.
A silent guard, patrolling your eyes,
In the empty cell, of an empty cassette shell.
An understanding that we were certain of,
There's a tasteless relief about escape.
I know you can develop if you take the chance,
To feel nothing... i feel nothing.
Video 8, i wonder if our luck will ever change?
God knows we need a change!
[repeat]
Video 8...
God knows we need a change!
[repeat]
Video 8, i wonder if our luck will ever change?
God knows we need a change!
