That was the penultimate song on that album, and this is the second on this album. So in a way, they're like weird bookends. More to the point though, this song ended up as an unintentional but fortuitous continuation to the "voyage" brought up in Home, both physical and metaphysical. In literal terms the lyrics are about the crossing of humans along the Bering Strait, but another interpretation is that they're a reflection of a process all humans go through: the pursuit of a purpose, the satisfaction of completing a goal, and the perennial urge to find new things to do, new things to learn, to experience, to travel. It's a fundamental feeling, true from the dawn of you, to your last sail on the pumpkin tide. <i>Tipsy:</i> Naturally when everyone else is going for wild, creative concepts, I fall back on making it Homestuck... when I heard Cait's song it made me think of the Battlefield, and when I read the lyrics, I thought, what better thing to depict than the moment Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido look into the clouds for the first time and witness the secrets of the universe? @@ -152,20 +152,20 @@ Cover Artists: Art Tags: - Mobius Trip Lyrics: |- - You’re awake, the line is dead<br>The wires are coiled up in your head<br>Your unexpected telegram is over + You're awake, the line is dead<br>The wires are coiled up in your head<br>Your unexpected telegram is over Connected to a time and space<br>A trophy in a rotten case<br>That licked you on your sleeping face like Rover A fossilized remain of a foreign age<br>Try not to let it out of its gelatin cage<br>You didn't dig the bones out of some old hill<br>Just found them in a cabinet... - Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That make you you<br>Will flee now too + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it's still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That make you you<br>Will flee now too Curtains draw, the stage is set<br>Come on, has it started yet?<br>You're contemplating in a cloud of clover A castle with a gear outside<br>A couple props your mind still hides<br>To stumble on when busy days are over You never wrap them up but you can't let go<br>You find yourself in one and they overflow<br>Just distract yourself to control the spill<br>You want to but you haven't yet... - Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That flesh you out<br>Will walk about - Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That hold you stuck<br>Will run amok + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it's still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That flesh you out<br>Will walk about + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it's still there, it makes you scared<br>That all of the schemes, the threads and the themes<br>That hold you stuck<br>Will run amok Loyalty to your identity<br>What did that thing ever do for you? - Come with me, you don’t need memories<br>To be the you that’s listening right now + Come with me, you don't need memories<br>To be the you that's listening right now You can coast, the parts that matter most<br>Are too far in to carelessly shake out<br>To fall off or fall out Look at all the Stockholm syndrome<br>Piling up in your childhood home - Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it’s still there + Dinosaur Pill, you know it will<br>Expand in your brain, the water will drain<br>But it's still there Commentary: |- <i>Ucklin:</i> This song actually started as two separate ideas. I started the song months ago, but wasn't able to quite capture the themes that I intended, so I decided to go back to the drawing board to create what is now the chorus. I decided it was worthwhile to find a way t ocombine the two ideas because I didn't want to think of more, and the verse did capture a mood that I didn't want to get rid of. I think the resulting transitions are potentially jarring, but I feel okay with the atmosphere that creates. I wanted to make a true MTaHK koan, so I won't tell you what the song is about eaxctly.
