about

this track is about my being a white cis male. trying in all ways to know my privilege. trying to quiet my opinions. not wanting to live life being informed by news and knowing that my being who i am, i have that shitty luxury. trying to see myself under the heat lamp., trying to be honest with myself.

lyrics

misinformed, ill informed
i dont know what to do
dont want be left out sad
dont want to be only
dont want my brain gobbled up by news

so i feel left out
i feel quiet
i feel lost and dumb

the sun is out now, the grass sits green
i wanna lay but im scared too

I feel lazy
what a privilege
i sit here in "my" room

in someone elses home
gift ive been given
still anxietys got it skewed

learn to appreciate
learn to challenge
learn to stand up to myself

I shut me up from inside
my brain gophers teeth
shake shiver and tear at my skull
and they say

theres no need to speak now
your place is quiet
theres no need to speak now
my place is quiet

Ripe Mangos(aka) housings is a straight to tape project. Samples and snippets of live and unlive things. Songs and 'songs'. Lo-fi and harsh, warm and creamy.
About family, friends, self, and all the things that I can relate to, as me. I also write stories and review a wide variety of things in 'Churn Tab Magazine' There's that.
