This song’s lyrics appear to be about Thom’s acceptance of no longer being caught up in the concept of incorporating a modular synthesizer as a primary piece of gear for solo work. The title, “impossible knots” refers to the endless mangling of wires and the ingenuity of the circuits within Eurorack...
[Verse 1]
I'm heading in the wrong direction
I can't make the big connection
And in my line of business
There is no room for mess
[Verse 2]
I'm tied up in impossible knots
I'll take anything you got
I'll take anything you got
[Chorus]
I'll be ready
I'll be ready
I'll be ready
I'll be ready
I'll be ready
I'll be ready
I'll be ready
I'll be ready
