“Dorien Kregg” is an upbeat yet sinister song narrated mostly by a character Dorien Kregg with the pre-chorus and chorus sung like a Greek chorus commentary about Dorien.
The song could very likely be a reference and re-imagining of the 1890 book The Picture of Dorian Gray, translating the origina...
[Verse 1]
It was talking to me
It was by chance, I was the one who had seen
The secret code, my fortune is here
I'll have it all, I can make it appear
I'll have a room with a wall of screens
Every dream that you could ever dream
It's automated, you don't have to think, ooh, ha-ha
It's elevated to the nth degree, yes, of course
Golden mirrors line a crystal maze
Marble entry lit by diamond blaze
Ah, velvet curtains hide a silver pool, ha, yes!
Ruby rivers filled with Venus' drool, oh, good God
Helix staircase straight into the sky
A chrome rocket with an all-knowing eye, ha, ha-ha!
(So long, suckers)
[Pre-Chorus]
You made it
You made it
You're up there all alone
You're lying on the floor
The blinds are always closed
Was it worth the price you paid?
You made it, you made it, too late
[Chorus]
This is the story of Dorien Kregg
He's always thinking, but got nothing to say
Always dreaming, but he's stuck in his way
Always saving it for some other day
Too late (Too late)
Too late (Too late)
Too late (Too late)
Too late, too late!
[Verse 2]
It's awfully cold on the 35th floor
It must be something I was meant to ignore
What's the number for that fixer to call?
Down below? I don't go there no more
What do you mean my entry is declined?
Check again, there's no way that that's right
How could it be that my access is gone? Hm, no
It's me, Kregg, I've been here my whole life
No, I don't recognize any of this
What's that sound coming through the abyss?
Do, do things really change on a dime?
I feel so sure that that life isn't mine, oh!
I've been broken, I've paid
What is this feeling? Is it really too late?
No! Why did I wait?
[Pre-Chorus]
You made it
You made it
You're up there all alone
You're lying on the floor
The blinds are always closed
Was it worth the price you paid?
You made it, you made it, too late
[Chorus]
This is the story of Dorien Kregg
He's always thinking, but got nothing to say
Always dreaming, but he's stuck in his way
Always saving it for some other day
But wait (But wait)
But wait (But wait)
But wait (But wait)
But wait, why wait?
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Hey Matthew, where did you go, motherfucker?
Making the kids wait for an hour to get food
Fucking piece of shit!
