Originally introduced at a performance in Dublin in 2008, “Supercollider” made its way to the King of the Limbs recordings where it was mixed and recorded officially and then finally released as a single for Record Store Day in 2011.
The title and lyrics of the song are of course reminiscent of Tho...
[Verse 1]
Supercollider
Dust in a moment
Particles scatter
Coming up from the soup
Swimming upstream
Before the heavens crack open
Thin pixelations
Coming up from the dust
In a blue light
In a green light
In a half-life
In an arc light
I'm a B-spin
Flip-flopping
I'm a pulse wave
Outstepping
[Chorus]
I put the shadows back into their boxes
[Verse 2]
I am open
I am welcome
For a fraction
Of a second
I have jettisoned (Supercollider)
My illusions (Dust in a moment)
I have dislodged (Particles scatter)
My depressions (Parting out from the soup)
[Chorus]
I put the shadows back into their boxes
I put the shadows back into their boxes
[Outro]
I see angels hanging over the balcony
I see angels hanging over the balcony
I see angels hanging over the balcony
