about

This song is partly inspired by my friend Noah Michael (the math rock DIY part), and also by going to shows and thinking maybe I would be happier if I just wrote math-rock songs in my bedroom (the math-rock part, and the recluse part).

lyrics

If I would learn to play drums
you know I'd never have to leave my room.
I'd pick up some Shures and a couple condensers
Live the rest of my life as a math rock recluse

When I say math rock
You say recluse
Fuck, I can't hear anything 'cause you're not allowed in my room

I'm gonna learn every song in the Real Book,
and I'm gonna know all the best progressions.
You can fucking keep your cowboy chords
Cause I'll be diminishing 9ths and 11ths.

When I say math rock
You say recluse
On second thought, I'd rather you just get the fuck out of my room

I will only write in time signatures topped with prime numbers
And I won't give a shit what anyone thinks of it, I'm self sufficient.
I can do my own gang vocals
And I'll sing my own fucking harmonies. It's good enough for Ray Charles; It's good enough for me

When I say math rock
You say recluse
When I say math rock
You say recluse
When I say "How the fuck did you get into my room?"
I'm not looking for an answer, I'm just looking to be left alone.
