As with most of our songs ian doesnt really know what im singing and i dont really know what hes singing but we both know the title so sometimes there can be different points of view within the same song. from mine this song is about a horrible experience were it was impossible to speak or relate to anyone around me and all i could think inside my head was i want out.
musically its an abrasive song that really takes on a life of its own at the end. we went in knowing the beginning of the noise and a possible ending but not knowing where it would come or what came inbetween.the whole song was done on the first take.with a guitar over dub for extra insanity in the noise.its my personal favourite

I just went with the song title, the lyrics on my part deal with isolation and paranoia.

lyrics
i want out
i want out
i want out
take one, save me
it's not my choice
not your starting over
not your charm
your four-leaf clover
pull it through
run for cover
it's not my fault
i'm not the other

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
