[Intro]
Urgh, obsolete
[Interlude]
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
For a thousand days, I watched the vultures circle overhead
And I counted the ways the world would
Be blessed when I finally reached my end
And I felt the weight of the world pushing me into the soil below
And I felt the desert sun above
While I tried to drink water from a stone
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm not ready to die alone
[Chorus]
So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete
[Post-Chorus]
Become obsolete
Become obsolete, urgh!
[Verse 2]
Another frozen frame, another glitch inside my consciousness
So I pick my poison and just choke it down until I start to spin
And while the world just slowly turns, I fade like fog into the sea
While the mighty galleon burns around me, I slowly start to sink
[Breakdown]
Urgh, maybe I'm not ready to be set free
Maybe these shackles are what I need
If you find the answers, come rescue me
But I can't hold my breath
[Chorus]
So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete
[Interlude]
(Becoming obsolete)
Maybe I'm not ready to be set free
Maybe these shackles are what I need
If you find the answers, come rescue me
If you find the answers, come rescue me
[Chorus]
So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete
[Post-Chorus]
Become obsolete
Become obsolete
Become obsolete
Become obsolete
Urgh!

Music is always something that we turn to. I know it’s a cliché for artists to say but if it’s something we turn to, that’s very therapeutic for us. It’s something that allows us to problem-solve through the creative process. Some of the stuff that we do going through or experience or think about in...
‘Obsolete’ details the same sort of feelings and concerns and anxieties that ‘Timeless’ is rooted in, but I think it does take that more desperate tone because I think that those feelings can fluctuate. Impermanence is not always something that induces anxiety or existential dread, but sometimes it...
