Palaver EP

by Strange Coats

Stephanie The whole concept is exciting in that each song is enigmatic and catches your attention in bits and pieces. There are many musical phrases that stick in your mind and never seem to leave, no matter how long between plays. The lyrics are also shreds of memories and thoughts that instantly bring pictures through the music into subliminal nuances in timbre and timing. It is order bordering on chaos held together by the tightness.
Favorite track: No Moderation in Deliberation.

Set many thinkers a blaze, A fire friendlier phase, Burn all there is to be found, How sharp can you be ten feet underground? A bunch of fuckers alone, is that what you like to call them? I don't see all of what you see, so tell me what is your problem? There's smoke that takes you down below, And leaves you for dead along the road, Alone with a howling lullaby, When your lungs turn as black as the nightly sky A bunch of fuckers alone, is that what you like to call them? I don't see all of what you see, so tell me what is your problem?

Traveller 03:47
Upwards is my new direction, I'll climb some shrieking stairs, Where jaded skies, avoid the angry, Nobody's eyes seem to watch me anymore, Well I'm a dog, and running through the door, Children's laughter in the wind will, calm my worried mind, In clouded greatness, where the pipers shine Raindrops in a wedge of time, Link all of us in fray, Remembering to forget today, Tomorrow's yesterday Soft clouds and feathered wishes, Indulge the thirsty eye, But the bubble bursts, the story's been told, Where's our promised paradise, lover?

Palaver 07:22
Stirring in the void, lies the progeny of gloom, In the midst of mayhem, he slips their minds impune, A bitter harlequin, who ends the joke too soon, Chagring through the ages, he's a common house buffoon Silky garments cloak nothing, No one climbs our ladder, It's far from interesting, It's just good palaver Beneath a sea of turmoil, comes wish for lenghty boon, A voice that softly whimpers while the persecutors croon, Searching all the lands, where opportunities may loom, He was eager to hear songs, but they were charging for their tunes Silky garments cloak nothing, No one climbs our ladder It's far from interesting, It's just good palaver How many times must the moon escape the sun? How long 'till those two become one? We may not last forever, but this song here just might, So to all my friends I bid a fair good night. Good night, good night, good night, good night

The lights of the corridor, begin to fade Our shadow seems to grow, alone in vain Sounds of feet come near, above the roof We've seen footprints up there, so there's the truth The room is filled with readers of the mind Chronic quiescence, a lesson in divine I've told you to beware, to mind your step Walls framed in infamy, give you reason to fret You hurry to the balcony, to breathe the air Neighbours laugh at your misery, it's good, it's fair The room is filled with readers of the mind Chronic quiescence, a lesson in divine

Time to Come 04:50
Night came abruptly on my knees, I thought i'd still have time to enjoy the summer breeze, But they've already started packing up the gifts, We'll have to head to where the oceans shift, It might be too dark to see, what the basket holds for each of us, But there shall be given, a chance to be serious The dawn will eventually arrive, like angels descending from the skies, Remorseful doubts shall dissipate and everyone will love what you create The dawn will eventually arrive, like angels, Remorseful doubts shall dissipate and everyone will love what you create Shut out the world and show us your soul Shut out the world and show us your soul Shut out the world and show us your soul Shut out the world and show us your soul Wouldn't it be nice to have peace running through your (veins) ? Shut out the world and show us your soul Shut out the world and show us your soul
