The first full length solo album by Peter Silberman of The Antlers fame, Impermanence is an album mainly inspired by sudden hearing loss Silberman faced after playing a live show, and the emotional and physical toll his tinnitus took on him.
The first song “Karuna” is about Silberman lamenting abou...
I'm disassembling, piece by piece
Deteriorating, decayed, decreased
If you're here, retrieve me
Retrieve me
They checked my flesh
They checked my heart
They can't detect my faulty parts
But they say you'll heal me
Can you heal me?
I plug my ear, bash my fist
I need some proof that you exist
That you can reach me
Can you reach me?
Now that you bent the bars of the cage
Scraping skin, draining age
Out of view, out of range
Out where no hope remains
I need your name
I need your name
I need your name
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, na-na-na
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, na-na-na-na
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, na-na-na
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na
Karuna-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, ru-na-na, na-na-na-na

The idea with the first track was to take a moment of panic, uncertainty and disorientation and view it through a microscope. It’s less psychological than it is psychospiritual. It’s zooming in and seeing the space between all the atoms of an exclamation of fuck what happened?
