Ad-Placement
My hair gets tangled up in my guitar strings
And my head gets tangled up with everything
I've got four billion years of ancestral DNA
That help me find my way
And you know how I've tried
But it's impossible to escape
If I could take my words and put them into everyone's head for a second
You know I would
If I could make myself into consumable media in an instant
You know I would
Cause my thoughts and ideas
Are a little too complex to make into
Little sound-bytes that you can take on home
And my thoughts and ideas
Are a little bit harder to imagine
Than the format of a twenty two minute, room for ad-placement TV show
I think in wordless concepts, formless numbers, and abstract contradictions
Like Schrödinger's cat, but blind
I think in wordless concepts, mosaics of silent inner meanings
Like
If you could see the world through the lens of a child
You wouldn't think we're so fucked
And is that so naive
If I could take my words and put them into everyone's head for a second
You know I would
If I could make myself into consumable media in an instant
You know I would
Cause my thoughts and ideas
Are a little too complex to make into
Little sound-bytes that you can take on home
And my thoughts and ideas
Are a little bit harder to imagine
Than the format of a twenty two minute, room for ad-placement TV show
Uh
(It's not to say that I couldn't fit into that specific type of format)
(It's just to say that that format is not conducive to complex thought, okay?)
And my head gets tangled up with everything
I've got four billion years of ancestral DNA
That help me find my way
And you know how I've tried
But it's impossible to escape
If I could take my words and put them into everyone's head for a second
You know I would
If I could make myself into consumable media in an instant
You know I would
Cause my thoughts and ideas
Are a little too complex to make into
Little sound-bytes that you can take on home
And my thoughts and ideas
Are a little bit harder to imagine
Than the format of a twenty two minute, room for ad-placement TV show
I think in wordless concepts, formless numbers, and abstract contradictions
Like Schrödinger's cat, but blind
I think in wordless concepts, mosaics of silent inner meanings
Like
If you could see the world through the lens of a child
You wouldn't think we're so fucked
And is that so naive
If I could take my words and put them into everyone's head for a second
You know I would
If I could make myself into consumable media in an instant
You know I would
Cause my thoughts and ideas
Are a little too complex to make into
Little sound-bytes that you can take on home
And my thoughts and ideas
Are a little bit harder to imagine
