Pebbles

from Macroforms by dubldragon.

	/

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Physical CD copy of the newest dubldragon. album, Macroforms!

The culmination of three years of work, Macroforms is an effort to examine and explain the space in which we exist.

Based in part on ideas present in the works of William Gibson, Macroforms is an examination of man’s place (or lack thereof) in the universe. In a digital space, what meaning does physicality have? When man has depleted the Earth entirely, will we have anywhere to ruin next in its place? Where do the divisions lie between, wants, needs, and desires? As unanswerable as it may be, it sure is fun to think about isn’t it?

Mind. Body. Soul. RAM. Blood. Bytes. Steel.

lyrics

Am I building my strength with all this time beneath the globe
Am I holding a world I won't ever get to know
When I release my grasp, what will I have to hold
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, take me into the fold
If I get what I want what will I have left
To desire, building fire in the muscle in my chest
I'm blessed or I'm cursed, its the best or the worst
No such thing as inbetween, what is indecision worth
Nothing or next to it, close to it, or something
Procrastinate proficiently yet never fit to run things
This too shall pass said the snake to his meal
Would have gone for the cow but he prefers the taste of veal
Avoids the taste of steel, if he had to he would steal
Not just to fill his gut to prove that he's still real
Though given is not earned, taken is not gained
But ownership is relative so who am I to say

(Hook)
Pebbles rain from the sky, just be thankful they're not boulders
You might question why, but you won't get it when you're old
Sediment erodes with time, the rock gets easier to shoulder
If there's a mountain to climb, just hope that peak doesn't smolder

No cracks in the facade, flawless granite did you plan this
Taking credit for the pressure put upon you by the planet
If everything is cyclical the globe is even moreso
You can trust that it will turn just like the stomach in your torso
The stone you ate as morsels, fun was had with mallets
The crumbling of balance is just one of many talents
Cement tears tear through anything they hit
Unless the skin developed is one that's extra thick
The weak fail, the strong persevere
You can tell which one you are if this song hurts your ear
Gotta let the muscle rip before it ever mends
What starts with a chip can lead to slabs in the end

(Hook)
Pebbles rain from the sky, just be thankful they're not boulders
You might question why, but you won't get it when you're old
Sediment erodes with time, the rock gets easier to shoulder
If there's a mountain to climb, just hope that peak doesn't smolder

A landslide, or at least that's what it feels like
A wound lined with gravel is one that cannot heal right
The seal's right in front of you, now what're you gonna do
Is the boulder giving chase or does it simply wanna run with you
She sells salt patches by the burn ward
Unaware of what she's done, or maybe just bored
Rocks in the knees from crawling across floors
Dust in the eyes and mud in all pores
Less on a journey, more dragged to distant shores
Started with an itch and became persistent sores
Digging for ores but all that came up was clay
Which was useful when it came to marking the days
Spent all my time wasting away
To find my yesteryear is what you're facing today
Reach for the peak in each endeavor you choose
If you don't climb you'll die, and that's when you'll lose
Pebbles rain from the sky...
