anyway HELLO HERP DERP
Welcome, OceanAndSilence,
I listened to "Babel"--very heartfelt, and I liked the increase in energy and intensity as you picked up the song. I enjoy abstract lyrics, too, but actually right now am writing lyrics that are intentionally almost completely devoid of metaphors and symbolism--about as straightforward as I can make them ! So it should be fun for me to listen/read your work for a change of pace!

I imagine it is lovely where you are (Australia). All I see around me is row after row after row after row after row after row after row of corn and soybeans (with an occasional livestock confinement to break up the monotony of agricultural monocultures).
