The lyrics to “A Memory, The Spinning of a Body” may reference a section in Dambudzo Marechera’s “The House of Hunger” (particularly because Marechera was cited as one of many influences on The Anteroom).
The song transitions slowly to “Nonkilling 6 | Hunger” at the end.
A Memory, The Spinning of a Body
[Verse]
No I don't think I wanna know
Don't think I want to settle out
The fire came way after the smoke
Guilt came way before any debt
[Chorus 1]
How could I hurt you?
I ask you, if no one had entered the room
Then who closed the door?
Who watched? With what eyes?
[Interlude]
[Refrain]
When I left, the blue sky was beaming
This color gave me nothing, reciting a forgetting
A memory, the spinning of a body
The wording of a question, reciting a forgetting
[Chorus 1]
How could I hurt you?
I ask you, if no one had entered the room
Then who closed the door?
Who watched? With what eyes?
[Chorus 2]
How could I hurt you?
I had to, to say I'm good enough for you
Who closed the door?
Who acts? Who decides?
[Interlude]
[Refrain]
When I left, the blue sky was beaming
This color gave me nothing, reciting a forgetting
A memory, the spinning of a body
The wording of a question, reciting a forgetting
