I am a creature of habit
my tastes are immovable, I order the usual
and I already know what I want...
keep your menu, I know what I want…
Because the options are endless, they're overwhelming at times
you just have too much to sell me, so many things to decide
you may mock me for opting for what is already mine
but what if my cookie cutter is one of a kind?
I think there's too much to choose and I've had it
Don't change me, creature of habit
Left foot, right foot, same way 'round
but with this push - I put my foot down
Yeah, this time I want change
I'm gonna do somethin' crazy
(actually, no I'm not)
So let me explain, I'm not that anxious to changes
I'm not afraid to adapt or think it's actually dangerous
It's just a preference to routine and familiar faces
I won't break down or die if I just happen to break it
I keep the cause to myself, I feel it's reekin' of ego
and it’s a fine line to walk, so I am threading that needle
It's just the whole human race, well I can take 'em or leave 'em
and I can say that, I swear, some of my best friends are people
It just feels so good when I've planned it
Same time, same place, creature of habit
Left foot, right foot, same way 'round
but with this push - I put my foot down
Yeah, this time I want change
I'm gonna do somethin' crazy...
/
...Actually no I'm not gonna act like you ask me to act
Like a simple machine checking task after task
I'm my own human being and I happen to lack
the need to be seen chasing fad after fad
And I know there's a world full of wonders to see
with places to go and pancakes to eat
but I base what I know on what things bring me peace
My circadian soul likes the pace and the beat
that maintains my breathin', blood flow and sleep
but won't lift my feet or break my routine
So left foot, right foot, same way 'round...

Good god this hits something awful. Absolutely haunting and tragic and personal, and then that little snippet of "Will ye go, lassie, go" at the end sneaks in to hurt you. robin
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023

I love this album because it seamlessly combines a spoken word narrative with music. I love how sonically diverse it is!
I also love the fact that, even though the album is about a very specific life experience, the album contains emotions that feel very universal. Overall, it's a great listen. elainachristine
