“Fountainhead (Unbound)” is a callout to entitled fans who believe artists live to serve and meet their expectations when, in reality, artists are just sharing their crafts with them.
This is the ninth track of Hands Like Houses' sophomore album, Unimagine.
[Intro]
Here I am
The hammer strikes one-two-three
I'm impatiently tapping my feet
In a murmuring room full of critics and fakers
All waiting to take their seat
[Verse 1]
The focus of the room
All bating breath
Waiting on a single word
That could spill from my mouth
That would give them a reason
To take me for all I'm worth
[Refrain]
I took the oath to tell the truth
So freely, I'll tell you this
My path's my own and mine alone
[Pre-Chorus]
You won't understand
You want what I am
Forgetting the man inside
I'm calling you out
So try, take me down
[Chorus]
I took infinity from the sky
And I made it, I made it my own
But not for you to turn into your personal property
I, I will outlast the turning of time
And I know that you're
Know that you're scared of me
And what I can achieve
But I won't be waiting
[Verse 2]
I don't use your lungs to breathe
Your feet can't walk for me
So tell me where you take your right to my mind
Brought the sky down on our heads
"Never mine to claim," you said
So tell me where you take your right to my freedom
My cause for creation, my mind, my direction, my life
[Refrain]
Unlock and engage
When everyone's equal, but no one's the same
We give what we choose
But we give what we want to, and not to be used
[Chorus]
I took infinity from the sky
And I made it, I made it my own
But not for you to turn into your personal property
I, I will outlast the turning of time
And I know that you're
Know that you're scared of me
And what I can achieve
But I won't be waiting, oh
[Bridge]
I'm the one who lit the fuse
I'm the one who pulled it out from under you
I'm the one who wears the consequence
I'm the one who will stay true to myself
So I'll wish you all well
But I'll take my ideas with me
[Pre-Chorus]
You won't understand
You want what I am
Forgetting the man inside
I'm calling you out
So try, take me down
[Chorus]
I took infinity from the sky
And I made it, I made it my own
But not for you to turn into your personal property
I, I will outlast the turning of time
And I know that you're
Know that you're scared of me
And what I can achieve
But I won't be waiting, oh

“Fountainhead” is about artistic integrity and ownership. One thing I’ve found as a musician is this sense of entitlement a lot of “fans” have toward music and musicians. They expect albums to cater to their personal taste and never grow or vary, or they expect musicians to give their entire life an...
