about
Aisles is a song about knowing and seeing more, yet understanding less. About the sentiment of finding ourselves in an age of endless choice, providing us with endless cluelessness. It's inspired by Adam Curtis "Hypernormalization", studies on irrationality by Dan Ariely and the daily craze of 2018.
lyrics
Thought I'd seen the truth
Once we were out of excuses for
Our heroes down and abused
While we're all man of the future now
We sit and gaze in a stare
As she almighty displays her mother's frown
No no she can't hold us down
We dance like apes in our fathers crown
I've seen the best disappear
In boxes treasured and memorized
In halls as long and as dark
As we had feared in our sleepless nights
You know deep down in your bones
You're still that boy i would kill for
These times they weigh in our shoes
We dance like apes in our father's crown
People got the world to blame
Now you don't think that that will change do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to yes, then no to no
You blew the dust
Now keep that gold to you
It all to you
People thought the world could change
Now you don't think that that they're to blame do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to no, then no to yes
You blew the gold
Now keep that dust to you
It all to you
So we go shaking the hands
Until they make us to self made men
Our nights they wrestle the sun
Bleach our shadows in the deep white sands
And in the aisles of our downfall
I shrug the waltz that you asked for
Discourage all of your infantries
This won't be won by an army now
People got the world to blame
Now you don't think that that will change do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to yes, then no to no
You blew the dust
Now keep that gold to you
It all to you
People thought the world could change
Now you don't think that that they're to blame do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to no, then no to yes
You blew the gold
Now keep that dust to you
It all to you
We don't give a damn about us
Once we were out of excuses for
Our heroes down and abused
While we're all man of the future now
We sit and gaze in a stare
As she almighty displays her mother's frown
No no she can't hold us down
We dance like apes in our fathers crown
I've seen the best disappear
In boxes treasured and memorized
In halls as long and as dark
As we had feared in our sleepless nights
You know deep down in your bones
You're still that boy i would kill for
These times they weigh in our shoes
We dance like apes in our father's crown
People got the world to blame
Now you don't think that that will change do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to yes, then no to no
You blew the dust
Now keep that gold to you
It all to you
People thought the world could change
Now you don't think that that they're to blame do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to no, then no to yes
You blew the gold
Now keep that dust to you
It all to you
So we go shaking the hands
Until they make us to self made men
Our nights they wrestle the sun
Bleach our shadows in the deep white sands
And in the aisles of our downfall
I shrug the waltz that you asked for
Discourage all of your infantries
This won't be won by an army now
People got the world to blame
Now you don't think that that will change do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to yes, then no to no
You blew the dust
Now keep that gold to you
It all to you
People thought the world could change
Now you don't think that that they're to blame do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to no, then no to yes
You blew the gold
Now keep that dust to you
It all to you
We don't give a damn about us
