Jayne:
What other things have you seen in real life and thought ‘that’s not real that’s like a video game?’
Adam:
It’s called the Tetris effect when you start to see real life things
as ways that video games are
You suddenly become really good at problem solving
in a way that doesn’t really matter in the real world
-
Yeah, that was definitely a video game boss I would say

Eye Witness

I witnessed a fight in a mirrored stairwell
Both parties reflected side to side
Infinity times
Half of them hit and shout at the other army
And the other half shoved back in synchronicity-ah!
Thousands of men tumbling down
To the bottom floor together
Thousands of men tumbling down
To the bottom floor together
Tried t' take a swing, losing their footing
Swing the whole way down together
Thousands of men fall again and again
To the bottom floor forever
In a crumpled heap spreading to the edge of what I could see
A crumpled heap spreading to the edge of my sight together
Together
Together
Together-ah!

I spy sun gold
midsummer shimmer-oh
Heat! x 4
my skin needs to see the sun
let it out, let it out
the ocean is on fire
put it out, put it out
Wake up to warm breeze on skin
finding patches of dappled shade to hide myself in
our friends lay on grass
spreading out spreading out
enough food for everyone
share it out share it out
a picnic and midsummer fun
Heat! x 4

Ey ey what this nicht is long
And ich with wel michel wrong

Translation:
Merry it is while summer lasts
With the birdsong
But now nears the wind’s blast
And weather strong
Oh, how this night is long
And I with very much wrong
Sorrow and mourn and fast

The God of Stuck Time

|
|

I close my eyes to summon sleep
But on my eyelids plays the same scene:
A wall of light and colour centre-screen
Dissolves the night
Riddles to solve in exchange for safe passage beyond the gate
And each option rolls off my tongue that it may be the one
Wrong again -
I open my eyes in the dark room,
Reset the progress in hope
I will open them this time to find the screen gone
And myself closer to real daylight hours
I imagine that these visions are so bright that everyone must be having the same one:
Millions of people trying to dream but stuck in this time loop purgatory
As soon as their eyes close delivered to a massively multiplayer online dream
Malware for the mind -
Everyone is here
Checking in again
Checking out
In this dream loading screen together
We have no choice but to wander
And explore the shrine to the God of stuck time
Checking in again
Checking out
Checking in again
Checking out

The sea through the trees
Seen and heard and smelt
Salt air and sticks snap underfoot
*Jorden er tørt venter på regn
The oldest trees hold the earth
Clumps against the soil
Like hands cradling something precious
Boulders to rocks to pebbles to sand
Time changes everything here
How long should I wait before
The moss grows on my skin
And my outstretched arms
Unafraid, unaware
That I’m not from here
Does the sound of the sea
Calm these trees
As much as it calms me?
Do they speak, do they know, do they feel?
On a clear day do they call out
To their sisters across the bay
On a dark day do they wail
As the wind whips through them?
These skeletons of wood are sky scrapers
How do they know to grow?
They stretch
And arch
And pulse
Their pulse becomes ours
A beacon calling home the driftwood to the forest
To wash up on this shore
And rest
Translation of Danish lyric:
*The earth is dry, waiting for rain

In Gardens

In gardens I find a kind of peace
There's order in the borders and me
warming palm house to keeps the wind out
a new climate entirely
An incubation zone
not quite home
not quite free
but with tended to needs
One day on meeting the head gardener
I thanked them for their care
they stopped a while and said to me
"To be fair , if I dare
the plant I neglect the most is me
And it helps to know you’re there"
Their care
In gardens I find a kind of peace
the simulation of nature helps me sleep
photosynthesise in the light
that leaks in from outside
a controlled experiment before release
into the wild, real, free, trees
and in caring for you
I'm caring for me too
well it's about time
the care I neglect so often is mine

Until Morning

X marks the spot where I died
I'm reborn again nearby
Back on the horse heading north
Catching insects as they go by
and I know there's monsters to fight
but I just want to stay the night here
Fishing in the stream
as the sun glitters around me
I'm still afraid of the dark in these fields
I've not got my confidence back
So I familiarise myself
with the mechanics of these new hands
And in these infinite landscapes
there's a place where I can land
And I know there's monsters to fight
but I just want to stay the night
I'll leave when I wake in the morning
to finish the job I've been holding off
This language is ancient and it's history's not mine
the knowledge it comes with the passing of time
Hundreds of hours doing more than I'd ever dare
Climbing a mountain just to see what’s there
And I know there's monsters to fight
but I just want to stay the night
And I'll leave when I wake in the morning
to finish the job I've been holding off

Science and Art
04:47
|
|

Fingers pressing into clay
to describe an impossible thing
to dream something real
taking a chisel to stone
carving out a new thing for the day
You are science and art
you are science and art
you are the writer
you are the alchemical maker
Faithfully yours
playfully yours
Faithfully yours
playfully yours to create
not because we need it to last
just because we needed to make it
not because we need it to last
just because we felt something
(just because we wanted to make something
with our hands, with our voice)
so we invented the words
this language
