The second track on Will Wood’s sophomore album, 2012 centers around Wood’s extensive history with controlled substances. He usually explains before every performance that, despite everyone else remembering the titular year because of the idea of an apocalypse, Will quite literally doesn’t remember...
Fuck!
[Verse 1]
I was an existential criminal, so innocently cynical
Ignorant as fuck but a proud individual
Originally meant to live a God-damned miracle
Might’ve been metaphysical, but I think it was medical
Testing my hypothesis
Never finding a theory
[Verse 2]
Emulating animals and mental aboriginals
A miserable fuck but a loud Tao mystical
An enemy of ritual traditionally integral
To Biblical originals, but literally pitiful
Too impatient for outpatient
Paging Dr. Leary
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you lose yourself? It’s always in the last place that you’d check
I might find myself by retracing my steps, but…
[Chorus]
I don’t remember, well, I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember 2012, I don’t remember
Wow, the whole year’s a blur
[Verse 3]
I think I bought into the comedy and brought a lot of oddity
An odyssey I thought to be consider a commodity
And not until anomaly abolished my monotony
Did I applaud autonomy and modify a lot of me
I’ll escape this reality, be the next Houdini
[Verse 4]
Glory be Satori but its hallucinatory
And it’s sure to be a story I can tell in purgatory
I said, once I’ve lost it can there be a Mahaprajnaparamita?
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you lose yourself? Well, it’s always in the last place you’d check
I might find myself by retracing my steps
[Chorus]
Wow! I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I heard the world would turn to hell
Compared to that, I’m doing well
[Chorus]
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember 2012, I don’t remember 2012
