Fists

NSFW Challenge: PERSONAL SOUNDTRACKLiner Notes
i think this song might be about an android that beats people to death but i'm counting it for this week's challenge
Lyrics
I’m up to my neck In counteroffers I’m splitting open I feel excluded When I am reading The future I do this all the time I’m tired of your warnings An omen tells the time You think I wouldn’t notice
The cycles were already built in You should have taken note when you filled in
I’m already automatic Don’t know who I am or what I did But I know that I tore these walls down with my god damn I don’t want to fight about it I built a war machine and it gets hungry for me It’ll beat you with its god damn If you belonged then you would know If there was any danger Don’t wanna get aggressive But if I’m cornered I still know that it’s an option I’ll beat you with my goddamn Fists.
Dodged a nearly fatal Encounter With monsters invented to suffer I get erased when Replaced with A favorable model I do this all the time I’m tired of your warning The battery ran dry The gears are barely turning
But you didn’t see me kick the gear shaft I’m patiently waiting for what’s left
I’m already automatic Don’t know who I am or what I did But I know that I tore these walls down with my god damn I don’t want to fight about it I built a war machine and you are not invited It’ll beat you with your god damn If you belonged then you would know If there was any danger Don’t wanna get aggressive But if I’m cornered I still know that it’s an option I’ll beat you with my goddamn Fists.
And braver men than me Never know that they’re machines.
I’m already automatic Don’t know who I am or what I did But I know that I tore these walls down with my god damn I don’t want to fight about it I built a war machine and it gets hungry for me It’ll beat you with its god damn If you belonged then you would know If there was any danger Don’t wanna get aggressive But if I’m cornered I still know that it’s an option I’ll beat you with my goddamn Fists.

now who has ruined whose life with a song
I’m in a super weird place — so I’ll start there… but when I read your liner note, my brain read android and thought meteor. So then I was like, okay, sentient planet killing meteor becomes aware of its purpose, coo coo coo coo coo… yet… fists. There’s an image that isn’t meatwad… but it’s also not NOT meatwad.
Okay, and then also, violently unrelated to the above, have you heard that die hard Christmas song? I suppose it might be niche but… any time i think about fists anymore…
Having said all that, this is a fun little bop. Always impressed with your approach.
