Quality Over Quantity, Thanks (Demo 2) Lyrics

The time has come for the next one

I must make it better, and quicker

And not take up as much time

Piss-easy power chords and nothing else with no rhythm

Should not make up the whole thing

It's time to create a better album

One that doesn't take two years to make somehow

Throw in a solo somewhere

Humanise the sequenced drums

Use an actual pedal

Check this out!

Everything is still going wrong

But I'll still take the time to write a good song

I don't care what you say to me

I've had enough of acting different in my head

And being far too slow to think

The compressor was crap—The gain was too high

Put a de-esser on it, so my ears don't fry

That's the mixing sorted but I won't go too far

I won't feign ignorance, to things that are important to everyone

It's not all about me

If you have to "imply" what some regular, non-coded text

Means in your language, it has not been written well

Ohhh, quality over quantity!

Releasing CRAP just won't do!

Quickly! Before we all die!

Still gotta get this out on time

Yeeeaaaahh

I was on a bloody course for this

All was well and good 'til they killed our legal future

I've set my sights on what it'll be

Better than anything else I've done

Maybe I'll become who I want to be

Oh, can it with 'maybe'

I absolutely must!

Humans Incarnate isn't doing anything

Maybe 'cause makin' it took two damn years

Regardless of what happened then I can still do better

Let's go!

There's lots of things that I need to do here

The point must be brought in and explained without repeating

I'll say the words with conviction, write breaths into it

And make sure I can play the damn thing right the way through!

It's optimised for performance

'cause multitasking's hard

And getting this done takes a long time

To get anyone to hear it I must play this music live too

Get myself out of the slump cycle once and for all!

Hurgh!

Ohhhh, write

Practice

Play live?

Oh no!

How am I supposed to play any of this live

To get people to... pay money and keep me alive

If nobody shuts up, nobody offers to help

'cause nobody recognises that's the only way to keep a musician alive

And trust was always a lie?!

There was never any drive to learn to play this live

I need others to join in but trust is a lie

I must do this myself (I must do this myself)

Don't try and force me out now

I know what I'm capable of (This is one of only two things I can still do anymore)

Yeah

So I'll do by damned best (Ohhhhhhh)

I know it sounds generic, but I have no other choice!!

This must last more than two years

'cause YOU all think it's over

But I'll make something you will remember!

New year! Let's go! Full speed ahead!!

The motto this time is

Quality over quantity, thanks!

At least, that's what I wanted to happen
