Sound of Muzak – Porcupine Tree

The Sound of Muzak – Porcupine Tree
Hear the sound of music
Drifting in the aisles
Elevator prozac
Stretching on for miles

The music of the future
Will not entertain
It’s only meant to repress
And neutralise your brain

Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want

Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills

The music of rebellion
Makes you wanna rage
But it’s made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age

One of the wonders of the world is going down
It’s going down I know
It’s one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough

I absolutely love this song. It speaks the truth about how music is “going down” and “no one cares.” Not many people realize the crisis the music industry is in. By the way, Muzak is music designed to make people have longer patience, shop more, buy more, etc. It’s the music you hear in elevators. Thats why it says,

The music of the future

Will not entertain

It’s only meant to repress

And neutralize your brain

Mars Volta

The Mars Volta – Goliath
That night I remember what you slipped in my glass.
We came to rewinding when
I foamed at the mouth,
While the lights blinked at me,
And now my shape is kept.

The rain it can’t hide,
Wash the pain from this hexes,

It is so permanent.
Did she catch a left eye
When it blinks three times
Or once just to seal you in.

In your drunken breath
Did it stain like us
In place of poisoned heat.

I gotta rid this world of your intentions
Swap the corpse in a casket

Give me that corpse please,
The one that tore nightly me
I really want it now

Fold the arms slowly
Don’t want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove.
Does he make you feel alright

When I seep inside your truth, through suspicious little coughs
You sink your nails inside a key,
While the door you shut closed up

The black stockings you kept,
Smell of wet cigarettes,
Torn of lust that you could not keep.

I have slept inside your fault,
To have you keep me here on this leash
For the rest of your pets
I will feed to the theft
As we consummate the vows of defeat

And when you pray for an end to this,
I do believe this is eternity.

Give me that corpse please,
The one that tore nightly
I really want it now

Fold th arms slowly
Don’t want you to hold me
It fits just like a glove.

Your closet is bulging
White marrow withholding
Does it make you feel alright?

Never heard a man speak like this man before.
Never heard a man speak like this man before.
All the days of my life, ever since I’ve been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before.
Watch me now

Say it Say it Say it Loud
Say it Say it Say it Loud

Hold your heavy….. burden
In a pocket full of drink that I have drunk

Spit the remnants in your direction
This is the closest to any kingdom that you will come.

I’m starting to feel miscarriage coming on,
It’s numbing a stump clearing my throat
And I just can’t lose grip of it.
She fumigated my mental hygiene
I’m all out of pulse, but I know you can resuscitate me.

Never heard a man speak like this man before.
Never heard a man speak like this man before.
All these days of my life, ever since I’ve been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before.
Watch me now

Never heard a man speak like this man before.
Never heard a man speak like this man before.
All these days of my life, ever since I’ve been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before.
Watch me now

Man I love Mars Volta. They’re so weird and have such cool songs. Their singer is also very talented. I recommend you check them out!
