It's All About You

from Star Stuff by Chris Harris

/

about

This one's about black holes. Specifically, the several-million-solar-masses supermassive black holes that lurk in the centres of galaxies.

The subtext has absolutely nothing to do with black holes whatsoever.

lyrics

Your appetite's prodigious
you don't know when to stop
The elephant in the room was pushed aside
You'll always keep us waiting
for the other shoe to drop,
for closure that is endlessly denied
You know whatever happens
you'll be coming out on top
A winner, though you never even tried

Behaviour that increasingly goes far beyond the pale
You've grown so massive you're simply much too big to fail

Heaviest of hitters, infinitely dense
Relying on your size your single line of defence
What made you so bitter that you totally withdrew?
Inside your horizon, you tell yourself:
it's all about you

Given up pretending that you care what we all think
Your character completely irredeemable
You're still getting started while we teeter on the brink
Empathy, for you, is unachievable
Empires rise and fall within the time you take to blink
What motivates you simply inconceivable

about

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
